5 Best Gastropubs near Brookfield

“I've lost count as to how many times I've visited Bar Louie. It's probably the number one happy hour spot for my friends and I. They have a large menu with lots of drink and food options. Although I've been coming for years, I've never written a review. I'm writing one now because I'm petitioning for them to never get rid of the new grilled cheese and subsequent chicken parmesan sandwiches. They are like siblings both made with a creamy spread, sliced cheese and a parmesan crust - both incredibly delicious and I will be absolutely devastated if you ever get rid of them. The flatbreads and garlic parmesan wings are a staple as well that I will definitely come back for but I will be dreaming about those sandwiches until I get to eat them again. So. Freaking. Good. And the new beach ball martini was fantastic, I want seven of them on vacation right now :)“

“Three times so far and each time the food has been absolutely amazing. Went there last night during Friday night rush and I was so impressed at the quick service and how fast the food came out! The servers and bartenders are smoothe and fast, while still making sure to spend the appropriate time with each customer. The place has 2 levels, a roof and outdoor seating by the street. It's incredibly unique, hip, cozy and fun!“

“The wings, the drinks, the DJ, the staff and the weekly specials is what brings me to a new spot and keeps me coming back. This place has all of that and more. We are always greeted right away even though I see some regulars. We don’t get treated any different, the food is always hot so when I wait I know it’s because the chef is cooking it the right way.they have weekly specials like margarita Mondays, wing Wednesdays, tenderoni (chicken tenders)Thursdays, fish fry Fridays, and Saturday and Sundays are specials on micheladas and mimosas.“

“Stopped in on a quite Sunday afternoon and were absolutely blown away! The bartenders were super friendly and service was very quick. The beer selection was diverse and the bar set up was unexpectedly beautiful. Now, the food is some of the best bar food I've had. My husband had the Patty Melt and stated that it contends for the best he has ever had. The grilled cheese came with unexpected but welcomed cheese curds. The fries were crisp and salted to perfection. I spent too many years living on that side of town and I'm kicking myself for never going before this week. Definitely a priority stop in the future!“

“The food is better than typical bar fare. You might have to be patient when it's really busy, but the staff is great at making eye contact and acknowledging that they see you are waiting. I love their shuttles for Brewers games. Great deals on PBR, but top shelf drinks and some menu items are a bit overpriced. I got a basic grilled chicken salad, which was small for an entree, and it was more than $17. Food costs are up everywhere, though, so I can't really hold that against them. It was delicious.The patio in the summer is awesome. They live music and a walk-up bar where you can order drinks without going back inside. I recommend it for a fun casual lunch or dinner.Parking: On game days, parking fills up quickly, but there's street parking and a vacant lot next door where people can park.“
