50 Best Bars near Brown Deer

“They let me bring cookies in for everyone to share. Called Cookie Sue & Candy Lou Wednesdays.“

“Very delicious. Ordered chicken satay with peanut sauce and some spring rolls for pickup everything was so delicious will be back !“

“Always wanted to go here, but never got around to it. Very fun. Thought it would be more expensive, but a Surfside came with 10 throws. Played 2 games with some friends, hit a bullseye and won a koozie. Overall, cool place. Kiu helped us and was extremely nice. Good job yall.“

“This was an extremely fun stop to our night, there was only two workers, but they were making the best of the situation and were extremely friendly. It did take a little bit for them to come over, but it wasn’t a problem at all she apologized as well. The worker was extremely nice and helpful through the whole night. She checked on us multiple times and was very wonderful. It was such a blast to come hang out here and learn new fun things to do. Highly recommend making a stop. We stopped in on a Saturday night and it was pretty empty. Definitely a fun place to stop and hang out. They have ax throwing as well.“

“Came to IVR for the first time and it won’t be our last. Service was great and the butter chicken was outstanding!!!“

“Damond provided outstanding service. Great atmosphere. The Chicken Sandwich is truly the best ever. I’ll be back, working my way through the menu!“

“Went for the first time today for a doggo lunch date with muh fur baby. Wonderful staff and quick service. I noticed negative reviews complaining there was dogs, well no crap it’s the business model and there’s an actual picture of a dog on the door and logo. ANYWAYS price is a little steep but when I got my food holy cow it was delicious. And I love that they have dog friendly menu items available as well. The place is super clean for the amount of guests and animals that come through. Loved that the food pickup and service area is separate from dining. The only downfall was I did pay for pickles and there wasn’t any but I didn’t even notice it until I devoured the first half of my food. No big deal. I ordered the steak sandwich and strawberry limeade which I also love is made by hand with fresh fruit. My dog is now sleeping in a food coma as am I.“

“All they have for food is all they need for food: pizza. They have classic and modern cabinets + enough pinball, skee ball, and hoops games to keep you entertained. Plays are $0.25/player for every game, but they have specials that lower the cost per play even further. Great for small and large parties alike

Vegetarian options: Mona Lisa is a margarita pizza

Dietary restrictions: They have ciders and seltzer, but I do wish they had more rice beers

Parking: More reliable parking is on N Jackson

Kid-friendliness: The bar is strictly 21+

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps to main floor. I believe there's an elevator to the second floor“

“I’d been eyeing this place since we booked our stay in Cedarburg months ago. We came in from St. Louis and I knew I wanted to have birthday drinks with my husband and kiddo here on Wednesday evening when we were in town! It didn’t disappoint. The wildfire smoke had cleared quite a bit, the sky was sparkling, and it was a gorgeous evening to sit on the patio and enjoy our drinks. I had the spritzer, my husband had the summer Mule, and our son had the kiddie cocktail with cotton candy. The overall vibe of the place is just perfection, from the second you walk inside until you find a spot to hang on the patio. I wish we didn’t live six hours away. We’d be regulars! Thanks for a happy birthday memory, Art of Joy!“

“Had a great 1st night there, then I had car problems. Racquel (didn’t spell right I’m sure..). Did not hesitate to help jump my car. Will now be a stop when in the area. Very welcoming❤️😂“

“Great food, great beer, and great service! Dan was very friendly and has a great personality!“

“Great food! Nice selection of entrees and sandwiches. The Rachel I ordered could have had more sauerkraut, but the 1000 Island and horseradish on the side were plentiful. The spinach & feta roll appetizer was delicious, and the homemade chips on the Irish nachos were light & crispy.“

“The owners are super nice and friendly The customers there were very talkative and friendly. I highly recommend going here to anyone. We will make this a regular stop on our days out. 💯 great experience“

“Best place in milwaukee !!! Nice drink , the beer is cold and the food is amazing !!! Must try poutine with the beef !!! The staff is awsome !!!“

“We had fun designing our golf hole. The staff, Makaylah and Rachel, were very helpful! There were lots of prop to add, but there could be more ramps to add different levels. That said, we saw some ideas how others used the props to make makeshift ramps. Had a fun bar vibe.“

“Great Beer selection, even gluten free options!“

“Walked in as a stop before dinner. Everyone here was quietly watching Jeopardy on the tv and politely saying their answers. We grabbed a booth and joined in the fun. Services was great. Won a $1 off a pull tab and wished we could have stayed longer. Vibes are incredible.“

“Best bar experience in Milwaukee. Really talented bartenders making phenomenal drinks. Good, price-friendly, flavorful drinks! I'm really impressed with the talents of the bar service. Wicked good place for drinks and service! The bartenders deserve a round of applause 🙌 👏“

“Rain was the absolute sweetest bartender! We came from up north and it felt like a dive bar with the happy hour pricing and kind staff. I always come back here when we go to Milwaukee because of the FOOD!!! best bar food you’ll ever have in your life ❤️“

“The food was awesome great atmosphere!! Was happy we found it after turning down 3 others places to eat!! Would visit again if we come threw that town again!!“

“A favorite spot in Shorewood. Their drinks are great and the food is delicious. (Their Reuben sandwich that only comes around once a year is the best I’ve ever had. Wish they’d do that more often!). It can get crowded pretty quick, so I’d get there early if you’re able.“

“We had a blast playing on the stage in the center hall these last two times. Definitely a room with a ton of potential and great acoustics.“

“amazing bar super sweet and nice bartenders...and their patio is the Best!“

“Great atmosphere the drinks are one of a kind and delicious!! Very cute inside decor and the Ally is so cool.“

“If you want to know what life was like before corporations took over everything, step back in time to the Valley Inn. The food was delicious and the cook, also waited on us. Nice neighborhood vibe, that I don’t see much anymore.
My wife and I split an Italian beef so the cook prepared it on two separate plates, without any attitude like you get at a lot of restaurants.“

“this is Art’s house Art gives very few cares and will show you photos of him when he was ol he takes his time so don't go when youre in a hurry he gave me a flash light which doesn't relly work which is probably why he gave it to me theres a hole in the back deck which has to be seen to believed he loves jokes, the News, TMZ, and bar dice. I dig the characters here man on a calculator plugged into the wall, a three legged dog and a marathon-running doctor Art used to save newspapers for me but he doesn't do that anymore which is fine because i used to pick up the papers just to take them home to recycle i became the middle man for his newspaper disposal which became quite redundant art may offend or he might not again don’t ever go here when you’re in a hurry.“

“At in Wonderland diner today for lunch. Amazing food, our waiter Ben double checked if certain things were safe for me (I'm gluten free). Had a gluten free bun for my burger. If you are gluten free or not I highly recommend this place!“

“Great people. Good drinks“

“Once we got engaged, we started looking at tons of venues and The Atrium was intriguing and we went to view it. When we were there on our initial tour it was everything we ever wanted including the upstairs bar, outdoor space and the beautiful main level. Working with The Atrium leading up to the wedding was a great experience, we were assigned Lori for our day of coordinator. We met Lori prior to the wedding day, and instantly had a connection. I knew Lori was going to be a great asset for our wedding day, she is full of knowledge and worked on the catering side in her past so every ounce of knowledge helped us. Come wedding day, she was by my side, making sure everything was perfect, including my bustle! I couldn’t have imagined having a better person by my side, bending over backward for me and our guests. Lori is a great asset to The Atrium’s team!“

“👍🏼👍🏼 always have had a good time here. Definitely a great bar especially so close Fiserv Forum!“

“Best date spot for young professionals in MKE. Come for the atmosphere and stay for the even more ambiance. It's like if Einstein invented the Tunnel of Love attraction in all those classic films about yt people wearing sweaters and getting married at age 17 instead of nuclear destruction, but even more.“

“Been going there for decades watching all my friends bands play and other live local acts. I like the deck out back where you can smoke and talk to people because 99% of the time everyone gets along and enjoy themselves. Good place for the bands to talk to the people after playing for P.R. I remember Pete Bali....dont know if he is still there and if still running the restaurant, if so reach out im top "boss" of entertainment in Milwaukee and crazy enough and being watched by hundreds of millions of people worldwide. If you want to raise customers and revenue immediately in a huge way let me know“

“What a great, fun hometown pub. The staff are a great asset to this cozy but fun place. DD, the wonderful owner, makes sure everyone is having a good time. She is the heartbeat of this bar. Stop by sometime and you'll find yourself laughing and back-slapping your new found friends at Devine's Lariat. It's the most fun and friendly place this side of the Mississippi!“

“Great food, atmosphere and drinks. All the staff were very friendly. Typically we never try a restaurant during the first month of opening due to them working out links with servers but we went during the grand opening and it was amazing!!! Staff were very friendly and helpful, food came quick and tasted great. We got the Totopos with guacamole, the birria pizza and the carne asada. Chips were light and airy, salsa was thick just like I love it and the guacamole had a kick. The birria pizza was flavorful as was the carne asada. We tried the Mamacita to drink and it did not disappoint. Cannot wait to go back and check out more items!!!“

“OMG! Tied house is my new favorite place. The drinks are literally homemade and they taste amazing. The patio is one of the most beautiful in Milwaukee and don’t get me started on the service. Adam and Ava were so friendly and welcoming. Shiloh made the drinks this evening and I could’ve literally ordered the whole menu. Can’t wait to come back 😊“

“I highly recommend the Battle Lounge to anyone who is looking for a safe, fun, welcoming nerd-anime-oriented oasis in the city of Milwaukee. There’s nothing else like it around, period. I drive almost an hour both ways from Sheboygan just to attend the many events that Battle hosts. They range anywhere from his Lord of Fighters video game tournaments, Wheelman racing tournaments, Rock Band/Guitar Hero/DJ Hero rave parties, live perfomances and comedy, fashion shows, anime watch parties, and more! People of all races and walks of life can share common ground over his unqiue assortment of house beverages which are exclusive to the Battle Lounge as well as excellent dishes such as jerk chicken, ramen, nachos, and I’ve even participated in his Hot Wing eating challenges. I’ve met so many wonderful people, had great oportunities to grow as a person and showcase my talents at events such as his Pop-Up shop, which allows people to advertise their business and connect with others as well Paint & Sip events I’m eager to attend in the future. There’s something here for everyone, no discrimination, no drama, just leave it at the door. I feel safe thanks to the closed door members-only policy, and I am able to relax and have a great time. That’s why I recommend the Battle Lounge to anyone who wants to see how diversely unique Milwaukee can be. This is a staple in the urban community and should be treated and recommended as such!“

“Good service great food“

“This was a great start for us to advertise our band. We loved the atmosphere, the people, and the drinks. We are band from Chicago and to feel like we haven't left was even more dope! Come check out our music we are called The Tragedies and definitely check out Bremen Cafe.“

“great place to hang out. has been there for years“

“Stopped in to play pool and grab a drink of bourbon. Dom was awesome to us. We were stopping in on the way home to TN and wanted to hit a game of pool. $1 in quarters and got change broken for us. Cash only but they got an ATM - just in case it's your first time through. It was a great stop in Milwaukee!“

“Taylor It's by far one of my favorite bars to hang out and relax with a lot of the locals. Great vibes, older crowd, no drama, just a good time!!!! Always on my to go list if I plan a night downtown. I love the outdoor seating underhang. Heating definitely keeps it comfortable.“

“If you want a very good meal. This is the place. The owner hand makes everything from the sauces to dressing to all the food, and there cheese cakes is out of this world. They do offer outside seating or indoors. Prices are very reasonable. And again the food will surprise you.Very good!“

“This a great place to visit. The drink I chose was very good and the bartender was very nice and friendly. Inside is beautiful and comfortable. I definitely will be returning again in the future. Look forward to trying more drinks at SIP, hopefully soon!“

“Great place to talk and meet people!“

“Good drink prices. I am from a small town over an hour away and we sat outside because the weather was beautiful. all I can say is the atmosphere was eclectic. We encountered a mixed bag of personalities. White, black, gay, straight, happy, pissed off, drunk and hustlers all in about 3.5 hours. But no major issues or fights. Just have a drink and sit back and watch the show. Tip your bartender well because they have to deal with it all!“

“By far the best bar in Milwaukee. The drinks are cold and cheap, the pool tables are flat, and the music is on point. Wednesday Nights are live music and incredible drink specials. Really every night has great drink specials. If you are in the 414, you gotta stop by the 919.

Vegetarian options: I did not have a bloody from Barry but all of the drinks that I have had there are surely vegetarian. The appetizers I had were also vegetarian as far as I could tell, gardettos snack mix was freshly prepared.

Parking: I think the Valet has been on vacation since covid...yea I'll blame covid for the lack of valet.“

“We travel in large group as a Team. They were awesome accommodating us, offering our best way to have the most fun! The staff were super friendly and interacted with us throughout the night. The Boys and parents got in on all the fun!! 10/10 would recommend! We need more places like this!!“

“This place always has some great options on tap and they have a few cans as well. I had some great IPAs, and a few Belgian style ales, all excellent. The beer prices were a bit steep for a 4 oz pour, but they are unique and well selected. There were nice spots outdoors in the sun as well as inside. I played a quick game of pacman on a mini video game sitting on a shelf with other games (card, video, dice, etc.).“

“My second visit to this spectacular place! There are a very few, very special hotels out there -almost like people - with their own charm and character and personality. The Saint Kate is your fabulous, gorgeous, kind, wildly-creative friend with amazing style and a heart-felt smile for everyone, who manages to make you feel special just by proximity. Thanks again, SK, for a memorable visit, outrageous art, a delightful room, divinely unique detail, crazy comfy bed, fantastic lounge music and delicious food. A special shout out to Clay, the truly gracious and hospitable day bartender whose warmth, welcome and insights on the city absolutely made our stay. What a great representation of your brand you have in him! Thanks also to Grace and the super-on-top-of-everything front desk (Madelyn, Ava, Theo and team) for a superlative stay. Look forward to seeing y’all next year!“

“I love this little, out of the way bar. Has a pool table, dart board, Richie, the owner/bartender has been there since forever and is very friendly, pours a great drink and plays bar dice with the customers. I won 8 out of 10 dice games. Major fun!!

Parking: Not sure of the days open during the day but Richie the bartender usually works days. U can't get a martini here. Just your basics.... shot and a beer, good mixed drinks (nothing fancy)..plus I love the video games where u can win and take home ur winnings immediately..fun, fun, fun“
