“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“

I went with family however, visiting The ROCK can easily be A Great Date Night. The Staff is Awesome. You're Welcome! ❤️ BRAVO ?? ??“

“Jenn and Donovan are simply amazing and make our dining experience positive each and every time. Always attentive and such great food. This is becoming our go to spot to dine since it’s always so positive.“

“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“

“Best Drinks in Milwaukee 🔥“

“great owner who is really great at incorporating others to feel appreciated . also the food is awesome with great portions“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great people. Good drinks“

“If you're not there on Tuesday for wings, then what are you doing with your life?? always amazing“

“Awesome place!! My uncle used to be part owner years ago and my mom worked there. Supposedly I was conceived on the bar“

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

“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!“

“Great little Japanese bar. Bartender was very knowledgeable about sake“

“Great bar, delicious drinks, and the bartenders are always great. Cody is the best!“

“great spot great owner great fun“

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

“Friendly bar and meet new friends and watch sports“

“The food was fresh, bartender was friendly, portion was good. would definitely reccomend & will be back!“

“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!“

“My hubby did a pickup order and wow, we were impressed! Pickup fish fry isn’t usually something we do (thanks kidney stones for ruining our night) because it gets soggy but tonight we had to and it was really good. They packaged everything separately so the tartar and the slaw weren’t warm sitting in the container with the hot food, I had the combination platter and the package the baked cod in a separate soup container which was great. My husband had the blue gill and really enjoyed them as did our 5 year old. The food was all really delicious and I can’t wait to dine in next time. My husband said while he had a beer at the bar while he waited for our food all of the employees were friendly and pleasant.“

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

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

“Nothing I write can capture how much I enjoyed my experience at Tied House. We just happened to pass by their beautiful outdoor garden, and I’m so very happy we decided to go in. Julia, our server, was so helpful and very personable. Melissa and Adam, the owners, were amazing. They explained their craft to us and helped us to understand the creativity and passion that goes into every cocktail. All businesses should share their enthusiasm!! I wish we lived closer so we could visit them more often! I promise that every time we find ourselves in Milwaukee, we will be visiting the Tied House!!“

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

“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.“

“Great bands and beer selection“

“Muy amables! Todo producto me gustan, bien ricos… gracias“

“Met some nice people good atmosphere quiet it was nice“

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

“Trixxie’s is always welcoming and fun. Bartenders are great and the owner is a sweetheart“

“Super cool little corner bar! They have a very good amount of drink options, I even asked for something I didn't think they would have and they had it. Service was great and the prices were more than fair. I also liked that they had security after it got dark, definitely makes me feel comfortable. They had a pretty decent pool table and lots of video games to play. They also had a DJ that started at 10 and he smashed it! I'll definitely be back with more friends to show. They have frozen pizza but I didn't try it.“

“Hands down one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Got the Archie signature burger and zero complaints. Was a bit bummed they ran out of fries but that was because the place was so busy from all the great reviews. (Good problem to have I guess). Nice work guys, I'll be back.“

“We have driven by many times and have always wanted to stop in. We stopped by for a quick drink or two before going to dinner. There is plenty of outdoor space for those warmer days, but since it was chilly out we went inside. Eclectic, classic, hometown bar feel on the inside.

We ordered an old fashioned and one of the cocktails on tap, Hop Wop. Drinks were great and service was kind. We would love to stop by sometime in the summer and tray some more of the menu“

“I was able to try this place for the first time last weekend and it was awesome! Sugar Maple does a lot of cool pop ups. We went to the Strangers Things one. The cocktails were so fun and tasty. The staff and owner were all so kind!
Highly recommend!“

“Great people, nice place. Thanks Bob for your freindly service .“

“The best. Pat is the guy. Popcorn is phenomenal.“

“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.“

“Came in on a Saturday around 1:30 Katy was working and was absolutely amazing. Made me the best bloody I've had all year then she even cut my pizza into squares AND triangles. Very accommodating and the service was beyond great. Thank you Katy“

“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“

“I was lucky enough to be invited to The Brass Tap to try their fish fry, and they did not disappoint. I didn’t go the traditional route and opted for the cod bake instead, which turned out to be really good. That alone would have been enough, but the homemade tater tots were absolutely out of this world. Pair all of that with their huge selection of beer, and you’ve got yourself one fine evening from start to finish.“

“I love everything about this place! The owners are amazing. The staff is amazing. So cozy and inviting. The drinks are creative and change every season. It’s a great place to hang out.“
