Treats Tavern, 2221 N. Humboldt Ave., will close for good on Saturday, Jan. 17. Owner Mark Smukalla passed away in April 2014 and his daughter, Erica Dennis, decided not to renew the lease.
The space has been home to a tavern for 120 years. I was late to the party and did not start stopping in occasionally until late 2012. I appreciated the diversity of the scene – always a comfortable blend of races and lifestyles.
Bartender Jessica Schlitz will work on Treats' last night. "I will really miss the place. So many good people and good times," says Schlitz.
Molly Snyder started writing and publishing her work at the age 10, when her community newspaper printed her poem, "The Unicorn.” Since then, she's expanded beyond the subject of mythical creatures and written in many different mediums but, nearest and dearest to her heart, thousands of articles for OnMilwaukee.
Molly is a regular contributor to FOX6 News and numerous radio stations as well as the co-host of "Dandelions: A Podcast For Women.” She's received five Milwaukee Press Club Awards, served as the Pfister Narrator and is the Wisconsin State Fair’s Celebrity Cream Puff Eating Champion of 2019.
