Help Support the Lakeside Pub & Grill in Cudahy, Wisconsin

On the morning of October 16, 2025, a devastating fire broke out at Lakeside Pub & Grill in Cudahy, WI. Thankfully, no one was injured-but the damage to the building was severe. The restaurant is now closed indefinitely, and 34 hard working employees suddenly find themselves without jobs or paychecks.

For years, Lakeside Pub and & Grill has been more than just a local restaurant. It's been a place where friends and families gathered for Friday fish fries, Packer games and countless special moments. The staff has always been at the heart of that-greeting customers with smiles, remembering regulars by name, and creating the kind of warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes a place feel like home.

Over the years Lakeside Pub & Grill hosted numerous events benefiting the community giving back when we needed it most.

Now, it's our turn to take care of them.

These employees are cooks, servers, bartenders, dishwashers, and support staff-moms, dads, students and neighbors-who are facing sudden financial uncertainty.

Your gift will help provide immediate relief for essential needs like rent, groceries, utilities and childcare while they navigate the weeks and months ahead.

No amount is too small. Every contribution makes a real difference.

Let's come together as a community to lift up the people who have always shown up for us.

All gifts will go directly to the displaced employees at Lakeside Pub and Grill.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support during this difficult time.
