“Koz's Mini Bowl is a hidden gem in Milwaukee! This quirky dive bar exceeded my expectations with its retro vibes, friendly staff, and, of course, mini bowling lanes! The atmosphere is lively and fun, perfect for a night out with friends or a casual date. The drinks are reasonably priced, too. Koz's has stolen my heart, I'll be back for more mini bowling triumphs and laughter!“
“Sabbatic is great. Staff is cool, the environment is classic, it's got energy and character. Went there on a Monday and the vibe was right. Horror movies, grunge/punk/90s, trivia, and conversations. If you like a gritty bar with character this is your spot.“
“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.“
“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 was enjoying a date night with my husband. We had been to a hockey game, dinner at the 3rd Street Market Hall, and then my husband had found this spot on Yelp and thought it would be the perfect place for a nightcap. It is the absolute perfect place for a nightcap. The vibes are warm, cozy, and candlelit. The bartender was outstanding. Their cocktail menu is surprisingly wonderful. We had a lovely time. I ordered a sazerac for my first cocktail. It was wonderful. It's a little heavier on the absinthe than some folks make it so something to note if you're not an absinthe lover. My husband got a Manhattan (which I tried) and it was pitch perfect. For my second cocktail, I got the revolver--coffee forward, strong, and delicious. My husband got a last word, which I also tried, and it was a beautifully herbaceous delight. Just when we think we've tried all the great cocktail bars in the area, one sneaks up and surprises and delights. Get to it!“
“Jamos is the best. Where all the east side hidden fame hangs out. If you want to hear some amazing history about the neighborhood and meet some incredible people, come here. Guaranteed to have one of the tastiest old fashionedsin town. Cash only!“
“I like this little place! We stopped in prior to a show at The Rave. It was surprisingly good! I got the smoked brisket and it was SO good! I really wasn't expecting such great BBQ from a little place in Milwaukee, but that was a truly pleasant surprise! My husband got the meatloaf and it was good too. Enjoyed the cheese curds and the onion rings as well. Next time we are in the area, good chance we stop in to this little place. Bartender was really friendly, crackin' jokes and having a good time behind the bar.“
“My partner and I have been going to this neighborhood bar for about 3 years now. They have friendly bartenders and patrons, great rotating craft beer list, classic dart boards, and the fizziest drinks in bayview! If you're looking for a place to relax or cheer on local sports teams, this is your spot!“
“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“
“I like getting into the different neighborhoods for food and drinks because I like having new experiences and today I was going to check out this place. It's a neighborhood dive bar with all regulars which is ok because they let me be the outsider. The bartender was friendly and once again has no idea of what a gin Rickey is. It's an older neighborhood bar with a pool table, wrap around bar, music machine etc. The music was kinda loud for early afternoon with 70s to 90s love songs, maybe a broken heart was in the bar. It has flat screens and cool stone walls with nice character which you don't see a lot but it's charming in a dive way.“
“Every time we are in Milwaukee, we make it a point to stop at this bar. It's the quintessential neighborhood tavern with the best Juke box in town -- the old school kind with CDs! The crowd is always up for a good time, and the bartenders keep the party going. Michelle and Susan are two of the best!“
“A place where everyone knows your name ~. People aren’t afraid of saying hello along with , would you like to play some darts or how about a game of pool … RACK ‘em UP ~ for a shot or a beer ~_~ It’s almost like it used to be — FUN no FIGHTS just FUN …. I will be back, it’s a nice place..?“
“Friendliest bar owner and awesome bartenders. The bar is really clean and also friendly to dogs. The owner puts out fresh water and treats for the neighborhood dogs walking by with their parents. I am from Chicago stayed at an Air bnb in the area. My boyfriend and I stopped by for a refreshment. They were so welcoming and friendly. I probably won't go back to that Airbnb but I would go back to the Riverwest area just to to to the Riverwest Tavern. They also have great pizza.“
“Heaven was easily the GREATEST bartender I think I’ve EVER came across in my time of drinking and going to different bars around the country. I can’t believe how nice she is and how fast she moves around the bar. Most bartenders ignore people for a bit of time before getting to them but she not only got to me and everybody else faster than I’ve seen in the longest time but she also was able to hold conversation and able to do her job at the same time. If she’s here I WILL be back.“
