Thought there would be coffee, but did not disappoint with alcohol

I’ve been here on 3 separate occasions and 2 out of 3 of those times someone has been hella rude to me. The first time I stopped in I asked if they served any food and the bartender looked me up and down and said with the snobbiest demeanor “no… and you need to be 21 to be in here.” I was 23 at the time with my 25 year old friend. Could’ve just politely asked for our IDs without the accusatory statement. I tried to like this place but always felt like my presence was an inconvenience or just a cold vibe.

Went to see my son perform and was pleased by this establishment! The music played before the live gig was eclectic and engaging. The clientele was welcoming and I am 58 and don't really represent the Riverwest esthetic so to speak but felt so" included " parking was easy and the place was easy to find. I hope to see other musicians there in the future here's some suggestions: Nikki Lane,Eskimo Brothers, The Suffers, Diane Coffee,Twan Mack

Went for Tuesday night karaoke. Had a great time! Friendly staff and clients from all age groups Small bar. Not too crowded, but no where near “dead” either. Diverse in every aspect. Karaoke DJ seemed to know her job and enjoy what she does. Highly recommend if you enjoy karaoke.

Place is a mess starting with the staff, security guard (short white guy) definitely should get fired!! He doesn’t do his job let people back in the bar after being disrespectful throwing drinks and putting their hands on other PAYING customers!!! Gets drunk on the job and spend a lot of his time outside doing his own thing.

Bobcat

Great times in Milwaukee! Chris Head and The Honchos with Bobcat One Man Band performed alternating sets to a small but appreciative crowd. I look forward to coming back around in early August

I love this place. Cheap drinks. Cool People. My boy playing really good music. I'm in heaven. Come check this place out.

Riotous fun or a chill time? This endlessly versatile dive serves up both with ease. Karaoke is always phenomenal with Trixie at the helm — I've belted it out all across Milwaukee and even tried classic KTV in Taiwan, but as soon as I stepped into Bremen's back room, it felt like I'd finally come home. All the bartenders (especially Jake) are rad at their jobs and make you feel welcome no matter what brings you by. An absolute Riverwest staple.

The hospitable staff is unforgettable and live music was Famtastic. Ive seen some great Milwaukee bands there many nights. Local legends, Sterling, and Secondhand Souls just to name a few of my favorite. Played darts with friends, needs new darts but overall great place to blow off some steam and have a few beers.
