This is the second establishment in Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward to be temporarily closed by the health department in recent weeks.
On Monday, The Wicked Hop and MHD officials confirmed the restaurant's reopening following a temporary closure due to cockroaches being found last week.

"On March 2, the City of Milwaukee Health Department (MHD) conducted a complaint-based inspection at Blue Bat Kitchen & Tequilaria. During the inspection, inspectors observed pests were in the basement prep area and in the main kitchen. An Order to Cease Operations was issued."
"MHD returned on March 3 and observed no evidence of new pest activity. MHD issued an Intent to Cease, allowing the establishment to operate. Inspectors will return in approximately one week to verify continued compliance."
