Sort of a punk rock corner tavern. Good drinks, nice beer selection, great music. Not just hard rock playing, but the vibe seems like it would be. Everyone is welcome, but you can overdress with anything business casual and up. Tattoos aren't required, but you can bet most bartenders will be sporting an array.

Great little bar in Bayview! Love the vibe and friendly, accommodating staff! A lively assortment of beers and a fantastic mixed drink! Can't rate food there as we ordered none from them, but everything else was Great.

This bar has a great atmosphere. However, one of the signs reflects that Tuesdays has $3 rail mixers. My acquaintance and I inquired about these $3 rail mixers and ordered them. The bartender at the time confirmed the deal and made our drinks for us. However, after receiving our drinks, he informed us that the rail mixers are now $4 and the sign was not updated.
If he had informed us before ordering these drinks that they were now $4, no big deal. However, the drinks were made and then he told us the price. This is poor customer service. The bartender should have honored what was reflected on the sign. I am aware it’s a $1 difference, however in the realm of retail, just charge $3 and make us aware it’s $4 next time.

Bartender accused me of dining and dashing from her place of employment. Never been there before.
Extremely unprofessional
Edit: This happened a few months ago(3/3/2024). I found the receipt to confirm the date. Undated a few bar recommendations last night.
What a wonderful space. Blackbird is a cool hipster bar in Bayview. Lots of colorful folks and great drinks served quickly. Definitely a favorite stop for me.

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.

Blackbird singing in the dead of nightTake these broken wings and learn to flyAll your life. You were only waiting for this moment to arise. Blackbird is one of my favorite beetle songs. It always inspires me and makes me happy when I listen to it. So thanks to the word association, every time I pass this bar, I want to go in. Last night I did. Thursday is 5$ old fashioned. So I had a brandy, whiskey and sweet and sour. All yummy, but whiskey was the best. The bar is decorated with fun decorations, including a photo both and vintage beer going back to the 50s and a lot of pinball machines. My favorite was the Foo fighters. Becuase Dave Grohl is the man. So fly this way and stop on by.
Nice, chill place
