50 Best Bars near Brown Deer

“Best burgers and friendliest staff around.“

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

“The 5 star review is mainly for Mitch & Juan being so hospitable and friendly. They know customer service! We had an amazing time with friends, drinks and good company. Mitch and Juan got us some balloons to pop on the bullseye. What a good time. Thanks again!“

“I did not have food, so I can't really say how many stars that deserves. My husband brought me out for a much needed night out away from work, school and baby. We met Marlee at the bar and she greeted us with a warm smile and I immediately felt welcome. From there on she was attentive, professional and very friendly. I especially enjoyed how she helped me with my axe throwing skills. I may have a new interest in axe throwing as a hobby ;)
Anyway, she made me a solid drink and checked on us, with unwavering support and encouragement. I would suggest you come while Marlee is working for a great time with extraordinary service! Thanks“

“Korner-Q’s was recommended to us by a friend, for hamburgers. We arrived late, and hamburgers were sold out. My husband ordered the chicken tacos, which were so tasty! The portion size was perfect, too, not too much with lots of fillers found at other restaurants. But the best part of our experience was meeting the owners. We chatted with Terry for a bit. What a lovely man! He talked about the business, decisions they’ve made, balancing family with work in a very strategic way. They have devoted customers, and we could see why. They knew everyone by name! Terry is known for his BBQ. His menu is smaller intentionally, well curated to show off his best dishes. We will certainly be back, and bring friends with us!“

“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.“

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

“Great bar good but not typical, eg the usual French Dip is called an Irish Dip, served with sliced tenderloin steak. Cheese and Brat soup for game day. Wings are delicious with lots of sauces.
On Brewers game days their lot fills up fast, but there's plenty of neighborhood street parking.“

“Great Beer selection, even gluten free options!“

“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.“

“Great people. Good drinks“

“We stopped on a Sunday afternoon. The bartender she was great. Personality and vibes were on point. Made us feel welcomed.

They had happy hour on their signature drinks and they were all delish.

I love the dive ish bar feel but the offering of craft cocktails.“

“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“

“This has become my go-to gathering place on Downer Avenue. It's classy, relaxing, quiet enough for conversation, and has beverages to suit just about any mood or taste. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Nice atmosphere, and they have a cute outdoor area with heaters. The chairs outside had fur covers and they gave people blankets! The only small irritant was that they don't have the best placement plan for their large plants. I assume they're normally on the patio, but you have to keep pushing them out of the way to walk out of the back part of the bar. Otherwise, it was a great visit. We'll return for the summer menu!“

“Lunch date was amazing! Vibes, food and beautiful atmosphere!“

“Bard is the best bartender!! We only come in when he’s bartending. B Bringing A Arms R radiating D dad energy“

“What a hidden gem! The perch and cod were so moist and perfectly seasoned with a light cornbread breading. Tammy cooked and brought out our food. The men serving were comfortable and friendly, very relaxed place. We will be making this place a regular! Love the support for the police in there too!“

“One of the few classier places where you can sit outside to enjoy a decent beer with a view. The crowd is not too young, they often play a good selection of dance hits, and typically very friendly. Sundays offer half off on tap beers. Cheers!!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Wc's rhythm and blues is a great place to have a nice decent party no drama just fun fun fun come on down and kicking with the family.“

“Awesome place to grab a drink and actually talk.“

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

“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!!“

“Edward was our bartender and he was so sweet and made us an authentic Old Fashioned Sweet, the local drink you have to try! We met some locals (thanks, Paul!) who gave us great recommendations for things to do in the area. We even got the password for Don’s TV Repair lol, which is another place we’re about to visit and get some drinks. Thanks McGilly! You made these Chicagoan’s feel welcome :)“

“They are dog friendly and have consistently had good options on tap. Do know that they are a bar only, not a resturaunt. They have bags of chips for sale, but no food food. I like it because I like having a place out that I can take my dog. Dogs allowed inside and out on the patio.“

“Great place to watch a Packer game!💛💚“

“My first time here tonight and wow! We will be back! Portion sizes are insane. We took an entire dish home because there was just too much food. We got the tofu spring roll, Brussels sprouts, and nachos. Nachos were salty but loved that toppings were layered in between chips, not just dumped on top. Delicious margarita. Great concept of self-serve with water and takeout containers, and seating is first come first served. I saw lots of games and cards for groups of friends. I can’t wait to come back! This is one of the top restaurants in the area.“

“A wonderful high tea experience for the whole family. Everyone found a tea they loved and the trays for kids were absolutely perfect full of treats they would eat. The views are superb as well and we loved the ambience with the live music.“

“We went to Wise Guys Thursday at North 48. It was such a fun night with great service and amazing cocktails.

North 48 also has a huge liquor selection and fresh juices for mixed drinks which I thought was a really nice touch.“

“Very awesome place to go for Alternative events! The bartender is friendly, nice, and generous. They have a nice small outdoor area to escape the noise and have privacy. I come here frequently for their Goth nights. Very underrated, more people need to come here to appreciate it's hidden treasures“

“Sofie is a great New York speakeasy style lounge with live music and djs on the weekend nights. P“

“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!“

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

“jaw dropped! amazing staff and place to hang out 💯“

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

“Had the honor of visiting Shanghai last weekend, absolutely fantastic experience, the atmosphere was warm and relaxing, the drinks spot on, and the service (Calvin) very knowledgeable of the cocktails. Highly recommended!“

“It took about 2 minutes at the bar and one sip of my craft cocktail to know why this bar was up for a James Beard award last year. The interior and overall vibe are cozy and welcoming, the cocktails (I think our group tried at least 6 or 7 different ones) we absolutely delicious and very original and the service was beyond expectations. Can’t wait to go back and visit Kat and her team.“

“great place great food had a wonderful time stepping out with friends....The cook is on point. Good job Herald“

“Was lucky enough to score 2 seats for the super bowl party at the last minute. Oh baby was that Awesome. I/we absolutely love and adore this place. Debbie is amazing. Everyone there is always amazing. I’m afraid to say more for fear of not having a spot for next years Super Bowl, featuring the packers, but I’m going to anyway…..OMG the food was amazing I wish I had taken a picture to share. It was so so good. I can’t wait until SB 61.“

“A hidden Dive in a house in a residential neighborhood (it’s Milwaukee!) No beer on tap, just cans/ bottles and booze at a (very) small bar run by friendly folks. The squirrel motif is a thing. Places like this are a rare find. Worth the trip!“

“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!“

“Family style business serving up unique delicious recipes. Ordered the shrimp and grits and Philly cheesecake egg rolls. Came out lightning fast, and worth every penny paid.This is not a place to go when you're feeling like eating someplace fancy. The building has a history to it that shows in the classic homey bar way. This IS a place to go when you just want to sit at a bar enjoying fantastic soul food spins and get away from the typical bar food fare.Food was so tasty, it all disappeared before I even thought of taking a photo. So instead I'm attaching a photo of the food from my neighbor who ordered the fish and attests to it too being delicious“

“Bibi is the absolute best! We absolutely adore her! She makes the bar what it is with her Bubbly personality, tasty bloody Mary’s (even late night) and her fresh friendly conversation. The bar chairs could use more options for the disabled customers they have, but overall A++ for customer service and good quality.“

“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!“

“Shared my first experience there for a private Booked repast service. Really enjoyed my self nice and clean employees were very attentive Bathrooms were clean Didn't smell .parking was not an issue on tthe lot or street I will re visit again.“
