Things You'll Find:

  1. Over 100 pieces of artwork live within the two spaces, all created by local Wisconsin artists, telling stories of the last 100+ years. The building was set to meet its fate by a wrecking ball almost 5 years ago until its current ownership group came upon it and saw its potential, purchasing it for just a couple hundred dollars. The George was named after George Walker.

DescriptionThe George and Madcap Lounge are two unique and distinct event spaces located in the National Block Building in the heart of Walker’s Point. The sophisticated space of The George, an elegant ballroom with soaring windows and ceilings, 19th century architectural elements and modern finery. Drawing inspiration from a London club, the Madcap Lounge is just one floor removed from The George. Thoughtfully designed to offer a thoroughly unique and intimate experience. The Madcap Lounge may be reserved with The George or on its own. It’s a perfect setting for meetings, pre- and post-event cocktail parties, rehearsal dinners and other special celebrations.
