Established in 1955 as the downtown YMCA Barber Shop, Bob's has been a Milwaukee institution for nearly 70 years. When Marquette University bought the building in 1994, the shop found its permanent home in Straz Hall — and has been serving students, faculty, and the wider community ever since.
Located right on Wisconsin Avenue between 9th and 10th Streets, we're just steps from campus. No flashy gimmicks — just skilled barbers who care about doing the job right.
"I went here for close to three years straight while I was in school and working downtown. The prices are really tough to beat compared to other places in the area. Leaving this barbershop behind was one of the saddest things about moving out of Milwaukee."
— Marcus D. · Yelp, October 2025"Barbers are skilled, kind and easy to talk to. Price is very reasonable for what you are getting — same as you would pay at a chain salon with twice the quality. Best haircut I've had in Milwaukee."
— James R. · Google, August 2025"Great cut, fair price and even a head massage! The people are very nice. Guys, I would definitely recommend this place. Been coming here since freshman year."
