After nearly six years, Rip Tide, the Weissgerber-owned casual crab shack and bar at 649 E. Erie St., has closed.  A sign on the door says it’s "closed for the season" but a report last week said the restaurant is on the market and closed for good.

The site, adjoining Harbor Front Condominiums, is positioned at the meeting place of Milwaukee's three rivers, and is the gateway to the Milwaukee harbor. It is located at the entrance of Summerfest's southernmost parking lot.
