“Stopped for a burger after a business meeting, burger was thick and cooked to perfection,
The bar tender was attentive , personable and friendly,
I don’t normally post about places I go but it was worth the stop, about 3 minutes from the interstate so not out of the way , extremely good tasting well prepared and as pleasant presentation as you can ask for with a thick patty burger ,and you can tell it’s a small town happy to see you atmosphere.
I will definitely be back, maybe even try a breakfast as the menu items sounded delicious“

“Best Drinks in Milwaukee 🔥“

“We had a blast .. found Holler House through Google search of oldest bars in Milwaukee. The owners Tom and Cathy are amazing and the locals made us feel at home! We have so many pictures and so much fun! Be sure to do a shotski! These Texans had a blast!“

“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.“

“Awesome atmosphere where everyone is friendly. Great owner and awesome bartenders! If you haven’t been here already, you need to go!!!“

“Great people. Good drinks“

“Great burger joint! We each had The Archie burger and added on an onion ring and side of fries. We could have split the burger it was so huge. Be prepared with plenty of napkins - it’s the kind of burger that slides around.

Quick friendly service.“

“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.“

“This place is an excellent spot for drinks with friends or loved ones for any occasion. The diverse mix of customers and staff creates a welcoming atmosphere, where you’ll find a little bit of everyone in their own private, spacious sections. I was seated on a garden style terrace, decorated with meticulously planned and vibrant plants of all kinds that surrounded me. The terrace showed off exceptional lighting, making it an ideal spot for a cocktail photoshoot. There is no food on the menu so dont come hungry the drinks are delicious and strong. They are also very pricey for the service provided! Overall the service drinks and experience was great!“

“Great bar with welcoming bar tenders and fun patrons! If you want to have a great time, this is the bar for you!“

“As others have said, homey/divey vibe, nothing fancy but perfect for what it is. Feels like it's always been there. Great food too, friendly owner/bartender, an an excellent brandy old fashioned.
If you don't love this place, I think it says more about you than it does about Phylos!“

“Friendly bar and meet new friends and watch sports“

“Fish Fry last night at The Depot… hands down, the best grilled cod- ever! The food came out hot- what a bonus! I am not telling something new- because people already know- the place was packed (for good reason) highly recommend reservations! Thank you Miranda for taking such great care of us!“

“💯 Lo recomiendo es de lo mejor muy buen servicio todo delicioso se convirtió en uno de mis lugares favoritos muy buenos resultados“

“Great place to watch soccer. They also have a nice beer selection.“

“My neighborhood "cheers". I moved to the area 2yrs ago, and I just started visiting this place in the summer. I like it here. There's always good vibes. Sarah and Dawn are awesome! Sarah makes the best wings and they have a nice variety of flavors! The drinks are well made, and the prices are affordable. It's a nice place for a quick bite to eat and a drink after work. Game days are always a go!“

“Crystal is the best!!!!!! I had soooo much fun!!!!“

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

“The bar’s location is on my way to other places like Fluid and Walker’s pint. Back in 2021, I was being re-introduced to the Milwaukee LGBTQ+ community after living in Denver for the past 8 years. Before leaving, I volunteered at the AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin, helped organize the gay softball World Series in 2009, and also volunteered at American Family Field for the LGBTQ+ softball league SSBL. I ran into this bar walking from Woodys to Walkers Pint. I walked in and was greeted by the bartender, Charlie. I recently parted ways with some of my gay “bar friends” and needed a change of scenery. Not knowing my story Charlie made conversation and made me feel welcome. In about 7-8 minutes meeting Charlie, he knew I happened to be gay. Since then I make it a point when friends visit for pride I take them to this place. All of the bartenders have always treated me with great respect and I enjoy the atmosphere. With me standing tall at 4’9” I’m happy to visit this inclusive place where I’ve happened to develop friendships with people who happen to be straight, oh and people who happen to be gay as well.“

“Came here for the first time on 7/10/26 at about 9pm. My $10 lemondrop drink was meh. Not worth the money. But the lasagna soup,OMG! Absolutely delicious 😋And I mean delicious! I'll come back over&over just for that! Kudos 👏 to the soup 🍲 maker.“

“Great food and great service. Mary Margaret was our waitress and she was SUPER“

“A neighborhood bar that tries and comes out on top. Other bars just exist but this place keeps it going.. Its got great food and Pool tables and more than just the water'd beer and rail shots behind the bar. Cider and seltser selection is a little different too“

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

“I had the pizza and garlic bread for the first time today. My grandson brought it home and both were excellent. I'll definitely be getting it again.“

“We brought in a fairly large group on a Friday night, all out of towners, and were welcomed by the staff and the regulars. We had such a great time, we came back late Saturday and the experience was even better. Shawn and his staff and customers are awesome! I highly recommend this place for your after party for events at The Gage - there is a nice area towards the back with pool and darts where your group can mingle and it's a safe/easy walk back to the Home2Suites across from The Gage. Thanks for an unforgettable weekend!“

“Great staff. Family and pet friendly. Great for small gatherings.“

“Bree is hands down one of the best bartenders I’ve ever had the pleasure of being served by. From the moment you walk into Oddes Bar, she brings such a welcoming and upbeat energy that instantly makes you feel like a regular. Her drink recommendations are always on point, and she clearly knows her craft—every cocktail is made perfectly.
What really stands out is her attention to detail and how she goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is taken care of, even when it’s busy. She keeps things moving without ever making you feel rushed, and she always has a great attitude.
If you’re stopping by Oddes do yourself a favor and sit at Bree’s bar—you won’t be disappointed. 5 stars all the way!“
