About The Metal Grill

The Metal Grill has a storied history in the Milwaukee metal and punk scene. Located at 5036 S Packard Ave in Cudahy, WI, the space has hosted a wide range of acts—from Off With Their Heads and The Flatliners to Voivod and Norma Jean. Since 2019, the venue lives on as X-Ray Arcade, continuing the legacy of live music, arcade gaming, and a casual, no-fuss bar atmosphere. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the scene, you can expect an intimate, club-like setting with a capacity typically described around 200–300 seats, depending on the configuration for each show.

We’ve got you covered with practical details to help you plan your night: seating options, parking availability, transit access, and nearby hotel and dining recommendations to fuel your rockin’ evening. Like having a friend in the business, we’ll guide you to secure your seats and enjoy the night without hassle.

Venue details sit at the heart of your night out. The X-Ray Arcade at the former Metal Grill continues to host live sets at a compact, immersive scale, preserving a vibe that metal and punk fans love. For quick planning, note that MCTS Bus Route 15 serves the area, and there’s ample street parking along Packard and Martin with curb access for easy entry and exit. If you’re traveling from out of town, consider nearby hotel options in the Milwaukee area, including Candlewood Suites Milwaukee Airport-Oak Creek for a convenient stay close to the highway routes into Milwaukee.

We’ll keep focusing on dependable, straightforward ticketing and event information—no fluff, just the kind of details you need to lock in your seats and enjoy a great night of live music.
