Cocktails with Carl

Why this event exists: GM! Spaces is building a home for Milwaukee's independent creators and small businesses, and Season Zero is the pilot — three gatherings at Haven Cafe that turn “I should make something” into a plan. Cocktails with Carl is checkpoint two: find the people. What happens: 7:00 — Doors & drinks. The OnlyLemon menu is pouring; say gm, meet the room. 7:30 — Ninety-second showcases. Selected builders show what they're making — no decks, no pitches, just the work. Want a slot? Say so on the registration form. 8:15 — Open floor. Builders meet collaborators, mentors, and Milwaukee business owners. The night's drink perk is redeemed live in the GM! Spaces app at the counter — the product demos itself. Who it's for: artists, developers, shop owners, freelancers — anyone building something in Milwaukee, alone or with a team. No portfolio review. No list you have to already be on. Experience menu: $0 Creator RSVP — pull up, come as you are. $12 Studio Supporter — back the studio and unlock the special drink menu: a Lemonade Mimosa or the Lemonade Mimosa Mocktail , poured with OnlyLemon. Season Pass holders: your seat is already reserved — claim it with your code. Presented by GM! Spaces · Hosted at Haven Cafe, 1201 N Van Buren St · Drinks by OnlyLemon · Build-challenge prize pool by Red Foundry. Come say gm.
