State Street Retreat closes its doors

I'm pretty sure I had a beer or two at State Street Retreat, a bar tucked into an industrial area near Highway 41. It was after a Brewers game and I'm pretty sure I had a decent time.

Over the years, several people told me to try a burger, meatloaf or a fish fry at the bar and I always meant to do that.

Now I can't.

The Retreat, located at 5018 W. State St., closed its doors a couple weeks ago and the building is for sale.

Moral of the story -- be sure and get to those "I've meaning to go to" places. You never know when your chance will expire.
