OUR NEIGHBORHOOD

The Tool Shed is located a block and a half north of North Avenue on the east side of the Milwaukee River (near landmarks such as the Oriental Theater, Beans and Barley, and Columbia St. Mary's Hospital).

The Tool Shed is part of Milwaukee's vibrant East Side, a neighborhood located just north of Downtown, bordered on the west by the Milwaukee River and on the east by Lake Michigan. The East Side is home to plenty of fantastic restaurants and bars, as well as a unique mix of shopping, art, and entertainment. The immediate proximity to the lakeshore and to the bicycle and walking paths along the river offers the best of the outdoors in the city as well!

PARKING

Parking at the Tool Shed is a breeze! Tool Shed customers may use the free parking lot directly across the street during the time they are shopping or attending an event at the store. If there is a heavy snowfall that day, customers may need to move their cars to allow for the lot to be plowed. There is also free on-street parking in front of our store with a 3-hour limit.

To find additional parking on the East Side, check theEastSide.org's parking page.

BIKING

We've got a couple of places in front of the store where you can lock your bicycle. If you're from out of town and would like to bike to us while visiting, consider using the Bublr bike share system.  There are a couple of Bublr docks within a few blocks of our store.  You can bike to our store from the Intermodal Station, the Summerfest grounds, or from other nearby neighborhoods.

LOCAL BUS

A number of Milwaukee County Transit buses routes stop within a few short blocks of the Tool Shed, including the Green Line, route 21, and route 30, all of which have stops on North Avenue.
