Why did drag queen Trixie Mattel buy the 'This Is It!' bar?
Business partners June Brehm and Michael Laton were the original owners who opened the 'This Is It!' bar in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1968. In 2016, the bar was bequeathed to bartender George Schneider, who maintained its cozy and nostalgic atmosphere. He later invited drag queen Trixie Mattel to become a co-owner of the establishment.
During the pandemic, Trixie offered her support to George and the historic bar as it faced challenges in staying afloat. Additionally, the drag queen has many cherished memories associated with the bar, as it is located in her hometown. It was also George who served Trixie her very first drink.
