50 Best Bars near Merton

“Great new bar and adventure from an owner who has it going on!!“

“Have been going to Woody's since August 2021. Friendly staff, and great selections on the menu. Location is great for people who like to ride motorcycles, bicycles or car. Located on HWY 83 and routes to many other contry roads. My personal favorites are the burgers or cracked chicken. Everything is good no matter what you order.“

“Tina and Jim do a fabulous job providing Excellent food and service! 5 stars! Recently known for Awesome Prime Rib which sells out fast. No worries if the Prime Rib is gone the rest of the entrées are spot on!“

“Great bar, drinks and atmosphere. I wish they had a full service kitchen though. Research shows that people who eat food tend to buy one or two more drinks and stay longer.

I love your St. Patrick's Day party. My one piece of advice would be to order more food. Last year I tried to get some corned beef but you were sold out.“

“Great atmosphere, delicious food, and fantastic service!“

“True Okauchee Classic (and Pet Friendly Too!) If you're looking for a local gem with soul, character, and cold drinks poured with a smile — Whiskey Waters is the spot. Tucked along the shores of Okauchee Lake and proudly serving the community since 2013, Whiskey Waters isn’t just a bar — it’s a staple. With its no-frills, come-as-you-are dive bar charm, this place captures the authentic spirit of Lake Country hospitality. The staff is friendly, the vibes are always welcoming, and you’re guaranteed to be treated like a regular whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth. And here’s the best part for animal lovers — Whiskey Waters is pet-friendly! That’s right. You can sip a cold one lakeside with your four-legged best friend right by your side. It’s the perfect spot to chill after a walk, a boat ride, or a day at the lake. While they don’t serve food, what they do serve is a top-notch selection of drinks, an ice-cold beer lineup, and a laid-back atmosphere that’s hard to beat. Add in awesome service, great conversation, and some serious lake life energy, and you’ve got yourself a must-visit destination. In the summer, Whiskey Waters really comes alive — hosting multiple fishing tournaments, and turning into a true lakeside hangout for anglers, boaters, and barstool philosophers alike. The events they put on bring the community together, and their support for local traditions makes them a pillar in Okauchee culture. If you’re bar hopping the lake or just looking for that perfect neighborhood spot with stories in the walls, friendly faces, and tail-wagging regulars, don’t miss Whiskey Waters. It’s more than a bar — it’s part of the Okauchee heartbeat.“

“Good people and friendly bartenders 👍👍“

“Happy hour 3-6 Monday-Friday.“

“I came in alone and had a really good time. I met some great new people and Jessica the bartender was awesome! Great service and the vibe was right on. I will Definitely be going back again to visit and hangout soon! Thank you for making me feel so welcome, you all really made my day!“

“What a great new spot on the lake! 🌊🍹 The atmosphere is relaxed but lively, with beautiful views right by the water. The live music adds so much energy—it’s the perfect backdrop whether you’re catching up with friends or just unwinding after a long week. The food was fresh and flavorful (not your typical “bar food”) and the drink menu has something for everyone—great cocktails, ice-cold beer, and even some fun seasonal options. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which really makes the experience even better. It already feels like one of those places you’ll want to keep coming back to again and again. If you haven’t checked it out yet, definitely make it a stop next time you’re at the lake!“

“Despite ray it’s not a bad bar“

“Been going there for 40 yrs... He puts on the best Xmas party's for the tavern league... April will be under new Ownership..“

“Came for a fish fry and we weren't disappointed. I love the laid back atmosphere. Salad bar and clam chowder were awesome! We were basically full before our food came out but saved a little room for a few bites. I had the coconut shrimp which was delicious. My boyfriend had the perch. We heated up the left overs in the oven the next day and they were still great! We will be back!“

“This place is amazing!! Friendly staff all around the place! Food is incomparable to anything else! Was there for our anniversary and definitely the right decision. This is the second time we’ve been there and we will continue to go.“

“Awesome people!!!!! Fun!!!“

“Love this place! Staff is amazing, wines are great and wine club is amazing. Everyone makes you feel t home!“

“decent food. Friendly wait staff. Maybe 3.5 out of 5 stars for me. Only thing that I thought was odd is that you have to wait until your whole party has arrived before they will seat you. It's not a Bartolotta's restaurant, it's a bar. Only 4 of us looking for a regular 4 top table. They wouldn't seat us until the remaining 2 showed up. There were 11 open tables. The place was not packed. I thought that was strange.“

“I love this place. A great place to chill out with a reasonably priced drink by the fire; even if you are not going to the movies“

“Great family fun for teens and older!“

“Friendly staff. Great fish fry.“

“Popped into Krankys across the street after lunch at Carlee’s. Different vibe, same idea—locals hanging out, bartender who actually seems to enjoy being there, and no shortage of cold beer. Place has some age on it in a good way, like it’s seen some stories but won’t make a big deal about them.

Didn’t eat this time but the grill smelled great, and a couple guys at the bar were hyping the wings. More TVs than you’d expect for the size, and a few games in the back if you’re feeling lucky or bored. Good spot to settle in for a drink without any nonsense. Solid neighborhood joint.“

“Awsume smoked BBQ on menu !! Huge beer selection plenty of parking room Great music and entertainment outside“

“We had a suprise party here and everything turned out great. Jeff and his staff were great and very helpful. Highly recommend“

“The Delafield American Legion is your home away from home. Friendly atmosphere, you always leave making new friends. They offer food, drinks, and have a hall available to rent for special events. The patrons and staff are very friendly. We have spent quite a few days hanging out here, as well as been to a few events put on by The American Legion. Good place to spend time and make a few new friends when in town.“

“The fresh bread, potato pancakes, and bourbon baked cod were PHENOMENAL. I will definitely be back. Staff was top-notch and very attentive.“

“Broasted Chicken is 11/10. Fish fry is 10/10. Atmosphere is a throwback. Remember to bring cash, and you won’t be disappointed.“

“A bowling alley with a sizable bar area and decent bar food. Service can be slow at times however the bar tenders are friendly. Karaoke on Friday nights pulls in a crowd, and is entertaining most times. There is a enclosed outdoor smoking lounge area that has heat and seating which is a nice feature if you are a smoker. Overall a comfortable place to relax and have a few drinks.“

“The bartenders are all very friendly and all of them are attentive. My dad' s birthday party was in tje hall and it was a percect size hall for the family and friends who came.plentu of parking on site and street and you can get your own caterers or bring your own food in.“

“It's always a fun time and is a great place to relax and hang out!“

“Although we miss Ari, every server has been top notch. I think we’ve made it through the entire menu and every dish has been flavorful and delicious. This weekend the lobster rigatoni special, even the noodles were full of flavor - not just the sauce over them. We always try each other’s dishes. Crab cakes have become our favorite app - we get two orders! The back deck is very nice and has heaters. Handicap ramp in the back as well. Wonderful cocktails too!“

“Best food I've ever had [Original] Best food I've ever had“

“stopped in to have lunch with my husband...got drinks mind u bartender/waitress wasnt friendly at all..must b real hard to put a lemon in water these days...sat for a good 15/20 min waiting to get our order taken ..it wasn't even busy!!!!!...Never again“

“My family loves going to La Cabana! Without fail the food and service are excellent! We were there this past Thursday for dinner, and my husband's burrito and my chimichanga were very well made. I chose to have chorizo in my chimichanga, and the meat was seasoned well and there was plenty of it. My husband's burrito had a very nice sauce on it. We have eaten frequently for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's one of our most favorite Mexican food restaurants.“

“They have amazing food and excellent customer service. everyone is so nice there“

“Wonderful brunch experience with friends-food was delicious“

“We dined here last night. Starters were the calamari and cheese curds (it’s Wisconsin after all) both were excellent. Specials were the impressive Waghu tomahawk steaks which were ordered with the blue cheese topping(an extra charge but so worth it if you are a blue cheese lover) and Waghu flat iron steak which is served with a Demi glacé. It was ordered medium rare and was cooked to perfection with a slightly crisp crust and soft pillowy medium rare inside. I can’t say enough about that steak. One of our party had the South African lobster tail special and it was a show stopper. We also had the petite filet from the menu and it arrived perfectly cooked and flavorful. Sides were lobster bisque and mushroom truffle soups and you will not get any better soups anywhere on the planet in my opinion. Dinners come with your choice of starch garlic mashed or Parmesan au gratin potatoes. The Parmesan potatoes are the perfect blend of potato to cheese sauce. We also had an order of Brussels sprouts which were nicely cooked just the right amount of time with some snap to them and well seasoned. Our service was excellent. If you want a flawless amazing dinner experience that is not a large chain this is the place to go.“

“Amazing lunch & it’s my sons favorite place in pewaukee - he lives 5 minutes away ❤️“
