“Pull tabs zero out of zero! Lol but other than that, great atmosphere and excellent service! The kitchen messed up a bit on the snacks (twice) but management was above par and made our experience more than enjoyable! We Will definitely be going there again next time we come to “
“Overall just a perfect corner bar, every aspect nailed - I have to say the standout quality to me was the sound system. The music selection was wide and tasteful but the real star for me was the actual sound. I’m not sure if I’ve heard as high quality of sound at a bar in my life. Clear with sub-bump and doesn’t interfere with conversation even at higher volume. I saw heads nodding all night, so dope.“
“The drinks and atmosphere here are above and beyond.Matt is one of the most personable bartenders I've had the pleasure to be served by. He will keep multiple conversations going with patrons while getting handcrafted drinks out remarkably fast. I don't think I waited longer than a minute after ordering to get anything.“
“Been here a couple of times and it's probably my favourite of the bars and rec spots. They recently added a system where you can buy drinks at fluctuating prices throughout the night and you're essentially given a free drink as well, which is pretty sweet. People on staff last time I went were Cap, Taelor, Robbie, & Destiny who were all very kind to me and my friends throughout the night and provided great service. I've truly never had a bad time here and would recommend trying one of their specialty drinks called 'the money maker' (everyone in my group ended up ordering it after trying a sip of mine lol).“
“Dj Conway is probably the best karaoke dj I've ever laid eyes on (I've seen too many). This man let me belt linkin park out of key, whilst assisting with backup vocals. Man? Myth? Legend? Other worldly being? I couldn't tell you. What I can tell you is he and the rest of this staff treat ya like family.“
“This was a wonderful meal with fantastic service. Trey recommended perfect wine pairings for our meal and it was start to finish, a great experience. The dining room is a bit loud with the open format, but that's more of a personal preference than anything.“
“The smash burgers are amazing. The paninis are huge and delicious. The coffee is Milwaukee's own Pilcrow!!!!The bar is delicious. The lower level vault is a speak easy that is so fun. I enjoy karaoke Tuesdays but it seems like lots going on all the time.“
“We went on taco Tuesday. The tacos leave a little to be desired. I had corn tortillas with mine, but they fell apart and were cold. The meat, carnitas, was very plentiful, which I loved. But it was dry and a little tough to eat. I also ordered an empanada, which was the highlight of the evening and much envied by my companions, who all ordered tacos.Besides the food, which I want to go back to try multiple other options on their menu, the service was very slow. We had a group of 4, and dinner service took 2 full hours, plus whatever time my friends waited before my partner and I got there. It was a good 20-25 mins before the waiter took our first drink order. We were there an hour before they came back for food orders. We were never asked if we wanted another round of drinks, though they did refill the waters right at the very end while we were waiting for the check. Just... So slow. And it was empty in there!Again, I want to go back, which will take a little convincing to my partner, to try other things on their menu. Maybe sit at the bar next time? That might reduce the service time significantly.“
“It was our first meal after flying all day. We ordered the hot garlic wings (extra crispy), French fries and a side salad. As far as flavor, the wing sauce was unique and tasty. The hot sauce had a sweet tang to it but had the kick from the red peppers. The fries were so crispy and the croutons for the salad was great.As far as “best wings ever”- not so much. The wings weren’t crispy and we asked for all flats, which they couldn’t do. But they gave us more drums than flats which was disappointing.Other than that, not a bad experience. The server was nice and friendly.“
“Archie's reaches the peak of the perfect classic burger joint, reminiscent of a classic smash burger. The amount of food you get for a low and reasonable price at an outstanding quality. Absolutely my favorite in town thus far. Put on your leather jacket, throw on a vinyl classic, and enjoy yourself!Vegetarian options: There is a veggie burger option on the menu, the shared space ice cream shop had vegan options as well.“
“We came here for the first time to celebrate our daughter’s 21st birthday. I reached out to the owner, Caroline, to be assured of everything for the special occasion. She got back to me in a timely fashion & reassured me about my questions. When we got there (around 8:30) there was still room in their free parking lot. We were warmly greeted at the door & they were already expecting us. There is a cover charge, but again, free parking & music, so not unexpected. Caroline personally came up & greeted us. We were tended to the entire time by her great bar staff. Drinks were very good & reasonable. The Donna Woodall group was playing & they were some of the best jazz we’ve heard in a long time! A must see & hear! We are not anybody special but were treated that way. Caroline’s deserves more than 5 stars. We will be back!“
“They’ll probably hate me for mentioning this, but they have glitter drinks! Such a cool little bar, definitely millennial/gen z vibes and its chef kiss compared to the other neighborhood bars in the area. Typical nights its a light crowd and its a rather open space so youre not knocking shoulders with the next group. Cocktails here are also super reasonably priced, you can get 2-3 drinks here for the price of 1 in bayview (not even gonna compare to downtown MKE).“
“Matt is one of the best bartenders in the city.If you’re not stopping in here just because their cocktails are fire or their environment is cozy and kitschy, then you’ll likely want to stop for their great specials like Wednesday Mules. The $5 mezcal mule and the Kentucky mule are favorites of mine.Also, they have plenty games for you to play with friends. As well as a nice big patio for the summer. You can bring food to eat here. Belair is across the street.“
“Puddler's Hall is a hidden gem that captivates with its unique blend of ambiance and expertly crafted cocktails. At the heart of this establishment is Gedalie, a mixologist whose skills are nothing short of extraordinary. The true magic lies in the meticulous attention to detail, especially when it comes to the use of artisanal ice in the cocktails.Gedalie's mixology expertise shines through in every concoction, showcasing a mastery of flavors and a creative touch that sets Puddler's Hall apart from the rest. The artisanal ice, carefully carved and selected, enhances the overall drinking experience, adding a level of sophistication to each sip.“
“This was our first time at the Diplomat, and we won’t hesitate to return…. But diners need to be prepared to drop a bit of cash, and possibly leave a bit hungry. Food is fabulous, creative and 5 star all the way…. But portions are small for the price. Example: 1 piece of sourdough bread with butter $8. Mind you, it was one of the best pieces of bread I’ve had in a long time, but may also be the generous amount of butter you can slather on it. The ambience is like a 1960’s living room …. Great decor!Vegetarian options: They have a delicious Rissoto, snd several small vegetarian small plates.“
“Mandi is an amazing server/bartender. Our drinks and food were served quickly and we didn't wait too long for any refills. She always has a smile on her face and communicates with every single customer. She is friendly and an asset to Liquid Johnny's. We will definitely be coming back!“
“We had a great time hanging out having a beer and playing pinball. There are SO many good options here too. You could easily spend a few hours drinking playing games eating and hanging out.Parking: Parking garage was affordable and connects you right into the building“
“the bartender with the mustache is the best! Such a great maker of a traditional old fashioned. Have looked far and wide for a delicious rye old fashioned not Wisco style. Will was top tier. Constantly refilling drinks and always with a smile. definitely will return. Thanks will“
“Absolutely fantastic! After a long day of traveling and an afternoon walking all around Milwaukee, I came to Buckley’s with my parents for dinner. This converted home has been turned into a fancy-casual restaurant with an exquisite atmosphere. I tried the Broccoli starter, which came with a nice miso tahini sauce that provided a unique flavor. The Buckley Burger was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. The meat itself was so high quality and full of flavor, and the crisp brioche bun and toppings and condiments complimented the burger perfectly. I also had the Lobster pasta and it lives up to how delicious a lobster dish has to be. Absolute class when it came to combining the lemon and tomato flavors with the lobster in a light pasta dish. My Dad also says the salmon dish he had was really good. For dessert, it was hard to choose which of Mrs. Buckley’s items to get. We got the famous carrot cake and the seasonal St. Patrick’s cheesecake. All I know is that Mrs. Buckley doesn’t miss! Both desserts were so delicious and the high quality showed once again. The service was great, too. We were never rushed even with the restaurant being packed. The waitress was very nice, answered questions, and told us a little bit about the Buckley family. On top of everything mentioned, the pricing was very good and the portions were large. Overall, this is a restaurant I trust after my first visit. You can’t go wrong with Buckley’s. 5 STARS!!!!!“
“Had the BEST time at the Holler house last night. The owners could not have been nicer to us. We were late for our bowling reservation and they welcomed us with open arms, adjusted our time slot and told us great stories about themselves, their family and their bar/bowling alley. The bowling was a blast. After bowling we went upstairs and chatted some more with the owners and left them with hugs and a promise to return. SO FUN!!!“
“I haven't been in here for years. It hadn't changed much but, that's why I love it.You wanna see a great music act before they really hit it big? They'll be there. The acquisition of their line ups are amazing. I do like that everyone is welcome and they don't tolerate jerks!The Shontrail and Rustbelt show was amazing.“
“I love this place even though I am technically banned from there for making a joke on stage during my bands set about Dime Bag Darrel which the owner misheard as a dig about him maybe shooting a guy.. right after he had to shoot a guy that tried to rob and shoot him... sigh The joke goes: "hey what were Dime Bag Darrels last words?" "Can I get some shots up here?"“
“Visited on a Tuesday and had the pleasure of being served by Omar, who was nothing short of amazing. His vibes were top-notch, making the atmosphere lively and welcoming. Not only did he have an impressive knack for suggesting the perfect drinks, but his shot selections were on point too. Omar's exceptional service and genuine care for his patrons definitely make him stand out as a star bartender. If you're looking for a great night out, Omar's your go-to at the bar. Can't wait to return!“
“We were staying at the hotel down the street and easily walked to this great neighborhood bar. The bartender,Cindy, learned our names and drinks right away and we enjoyed talking to a couple of the local folks here. We had a bar pizza that was pretty good. It was a nice evening and would drop in again if we passed through again.“
“What an intimate first impression! We were greeted by the entire staff upon arrival, such a warm regards for complete strangers. Our server was so helpful with her recommendations. As for the atmosphere - so clean! Very pleasant instrumental music played without drowning out our conversation - hate loud music. The sushi tasted so fresh, we'll be back“
“A classic Neighborhood bar. The staff are awesome and friendly. Always packed on weekends with locals and a few visitors or old residents to Bay View. You can’t get more local than this place. They offer frozen pizza to curb your alcohol.Parking: Typically plenty of parking“
“I love coming here but please take Rosemary out of the gin and juice I was a bit offended lbvs. Just keep it simple Gin.. Juice. That’s it. The last time I had it was amazing I think the manager made it. Anyways I love coming here it’s ALWAYS a great time!! Even when the skeeball takes my money we always get great service and help when it happens. Amazing staff seriously amazing! Highly recommend when you want to have a great time with some old school games. It makes my inner child happy <3“
“I am a sucker for a great dive bar and with a name like Day Drink Inn how can you possibly go wrong? The owner Mario always keeps the place clean and hires very friendly bartenders. Once a month on a Saturday afternoon they have a drawing for $500. You have to enter a grab a spot with your $20 but it's can be worth $500 if you are there and $250 if you aren't so it's best to be there by 3pm sharp. After they have meat raffles and other raffles so it's definitely a fun time.There are always friendly people in the bar and it's a great place for a Day Drink! Definitely worth trying to find especially on a cold Saturday!“
“Loved this place. We snuck in there late on a Sunday (didn’t know anyone) and by the time we left we felt like family. It was my wife’s birthday and they couldn’t have made her feel more special. Everyone in the bar sang to her. Don’t forget to say Hi to the owner. What a little gem.“
“We visited Clementines for the first time today because we have an "old fashioned passport" and it was one of the places in it closest to home.We pulled up to a pretty typical looking neighborhood bar. Inside it was a comfortable size with a large oval bar in the middle. With multiple TV on different walls showing different movies.We were greeted right away by the bartender, Megan. She made two fabulous Old Fashioneds (one sweet brandy and one sour bourbon). Megan as well as the other customers we're all very friendly.We also tried the Northeast Cider Donut cider which is dangerously good! As well as playing bar dice for the first time (for me).And I saw many other great looking drinks prepared while we hung out.Is a very friendly comfortable type bar with a little more upsclae drinks.We'll definitely be back soon!“
“The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable and you have an awesome bar to socialize in right next to it. Jay has weekly rates as well as monthly. Awesome guy to talk to and has a great place to stay.Parking: The motel parking is a little tight, but plenty of room to park my dually.Across the street from the bar there is another parking lot that has lots of room as well.“
“We ate here on 3/9. The food, cocktails and the service were amazing. Knocking a star off for the hostess who told us we needed to be out of there by a certain time. The kitchen got backed up so courses were coming out a little slow. This normally doesn’t bother me but since the hostess told us when we had to be gone, it ruined my ability to enjoy the entree and dessert as I was worried about getting out of there on time. It shouldn’t be something the hostess puts onto the patrons. It was our first time there and I am not sure about returning.“
“We strolled into Camacho’s on a sleepy Sunday afternoon in August, wanting to discover a true neighborhood bar. So much has changed in Walker’s Point since my glory years. I lament the loss of La Fuente, Felipe’s Place, where we partied the night before my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah, and Babalu, where I danced the light fantastic to Elvis Crespo and Cubanismo.Jessie was behind the bar at Camacho and treated us like old friends. Everyone was friendly, the music was fantastic, the drinks strong and reasonable. Camacho is the true definition of a place keeping the ideal of neighborhood alive. Trendy is nice. Neighborhood is necessary.“
“We had a table of 4 with old fashions and jalapcheese curds before dinner. The drinks were okay, but the curds were really good. For dinner we had cod, perch and coconut shrimp with potato pancakes and fries. All came with coleslaw and bread. The portions were huge and all tasted great. The only issue was that it took over an hour to get our dinner. This was because they had 1 server and 1 bartender for a full house, and although they were extremely under staffed, I felt they worked their tails off and were very friendly and attentive under all that pressure. We spent $125 for 2 appetizers, 4 meals and 8 cocktails which i think was very reasonable considering the quality and quantity. I'm sure the staffing issue was a one off so we plan to go again. I highly recommend you give them a try“
“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.“
“On a bar hopping night, my first stop was Blackbird at the southern end of KK. It had a sparse crowd on Valentine’s Day, but I struck up conversation with an older couple who were headed to Hungry Sumo for dinner. The bartender was gregarious and knew a few people sitting at the bar. He was friendly enough towards me but drawn to the couples he knew. Amazed Blackbird had a Mezcal cocktail on tap as Mezcal isn’t a favorite of the average Milwaukee drinker, I found it too sweet, but the smoke came through. Blackbird’s decor echoes a thousand other Milwaukee bars. You could be anywhere within a 100 mile radius. Blackbird’s a nice bar, but wasn’t particularly distinctive.“
“Drinks were really unique and was a fun experience. You can add candy to your drink and choose what alcohol to add. Staff was knowledgeable about good combinations. Some of the drinks were not combined well, and were really sweet. The shortcake was good, though Graham cracker got stuck in the straw a lot.“
“There is never a full evening at Just Art’s saloon. A night that will be highlighted by conversation, jokes, great drinks, and of course, bar dice. For the few hours eve opens each week, Art makes it worth it. The historic building and decor will take you right back to a simpler time. Great beer selection, merch, and prices you can’t beat anywhere else in the area.“
“Had breakfast at Cafe Benelux when staying close by the Third Ward. The Cafe is quite large with a big central bar and lots of seating inside and upstairs outside. The ambience is very nice as was my server, Kenna. I had the Short Rib Fajita Hash ($19), and it was a sizeable portion and kept me going all day!! The coffee was good too ($3). Well worth a visit.“
“This is a unique drinking establishment for Walker’s Point, or what some people call the Fifth Ward. The current trend calls for a craft brewery, an independent distillery, an ersatz gourmet restaurant, or a place left over from the clandestine 1980s or 1990s. Breaking that template, Wall Street is a black owned, sultry cocktail bar with the sounds of “sweet soul music” filling the handsome space. Milwaukee may be growing up, accepting its diversity and realizing it can be urbane without losing its roots. That beer and a shot town may be long gone.Looking like more like a model from Paris or New York City, the proprietor Sharisse, named the bar after her mother who taught her finance and how to use economic investment to further yourself in a competitive world. Sharisse’s presence adds class and panache to the Wall Street Stock Bar. Less of a South Side bar, and more NYC or Paris, the Wall Street offers an array of delicious mixed cocktails and tasty bites to eat. Helping to tend bar, Naomi greets you with her bubbly personality and a ready smile, making everyone feel welcomed. Prices are a little higher than the typical corner tavern, but Wall Street pays off with a sophistication lacking from most places in Milwaukee. It reminds me of when Elsa’s on the Park first opened, breaking the mold in the Cream City, bringing Karl Kopp’s vision of a cool and hip Milwaukee to fruition.Go to the Wall Street Stock Bar and support the “new Milwaukee.” It isn’t all bar dice and dem and dose anymore.“
“Amazing. I've never been to a sports bar where they were interested in the same sports I was. As an Arsenal fan, I recognized the logo and name immediately and had to check it out. The bartenders were super friendly and the people there were so kind. Can't rate the booze, cause I didn't have any. Canned Coke was cold though ?“
“Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon. Great atmosphere....very inviting. Bartender was awesome....interacting with customers...bar was clean and orderly. He obviously takes pride in what he does. Was our first time there. Loved it so much we went back the following Sunday. He remembered us from week before and welcomed us back. Great prices too. Seems to be a lot of regulars in there. Says a lot about a bar. I think we will be becoming said regulars.“
“I’m town from North Hudson, Wi this weekend.Stopped here to use the restroom Saturday night, found scrumptious pie slices for dessert to go from a local man who seemed to be a regular…. If anyone can can place me in contact with him I’d be grateful. This spot had a very nice bartender, the regulars were so polite and friendly, bathroom was clean, and they had a pool table! When I find my self here in the future I will make a point to spend my time here. I WANT TO BUY MORE PIE FROM THAT GENTLEMAN!“
“It's been 35 years since I last visited this bar. My friend Brad had a lil get together to watch a friend's band and his belated birthday. Andrea was an excellent bartender and helped make our visit memorable and fun. It's a typical neighborhood corner bar and has a subtle old-world charm. I recommend you visit and see for yourself.“
“Love the place, the people, not so much. People were having a good time, but they were so loud. That's ok as long as they weren't standing in front of the tv. Nobody could watch cause 2 people were standing one foot from the television so nobody could see the end of the game. Another ugly guy thought I was looking at him because he sat right in front of the TV even though there were open spots all over. I guess they need to have the tv's mounted higher. The ceilings are low so it is hard. I like the beer and jack n coke kind of vibe, but not today. May try another time.“
“I've stopped here a few times now during the week and have enjoyed myself each time. They have a great bar and additional seating in the back. The bartenders have always been friendly and provided great service. I learned at my last visit that this used to be a magic themed bar and I found the magic brick I think my favorite part was the artwork in the women's bathroom. I wasn't expecting to see pictures of RBG, Rosie the Riveter and Frida Kahlo to name a few of the notable women. Upon I leaving I was pleasantly surprised to learn my two craft beers came in under $10!“
“Staff was not responsive at first, but then when our issue was figured out they were helpful in figuring out what went wrong. The place is small and cramped, so don't bring a huge group here. There's also no high tech screens if that's the kind of thing you need“
“Awesome hidden gem of South Side MKE. Great ownership with lots of family history. This is a dive bar that I can enjoy. Pool table n darts plus gaming machines. Not to mention they have cooked meals sometimes ready for you if you need to soak up your good time.“
“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!“
“SO IMPRESSED WITH THIS PLACE! They had such a great atmosphere. It is so bright and welcoming and extremely clean! We hosted my labs 2nd bday party here and had a group of about 20 people. My dog had an absolute BLAST and so did I! John the owner was so welcoming and helpful. He was so easy to work with and made sure that everything was to our liking at all times. Highly recommend this spot with or without a dog. The added bonus is the food and drink is fantastic! They have a great selection of both and make a mean cocktail. I cannot say enough about this place!“
