Hands down best dive bar in Milwaukee. Small, warm atmosphere, and in a more quiet part off Brady St. Definitely a stop worth making if you are in the area. Cash only though but it feels like a throwback to an earlier, simpler time.

Loved the ambiance of this cozy dive bar almost as much as I loved Brian the bartender!

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!

Such a great dive bar just off Brady Street. Head here for a little blast from the past and get a great brandy Old Fashioned. Make sure you bring cash though.

This place is a hidden gem. Great “chill”vibe if you’re not keen on the chaos of Brady St.
Great bartender (Brian) and an awesome vibe! Highly recommend! ?

Absolutely love this place! Great cocktails and atmosphere, Jamo is the best! This a must stop when we’re in Milwaukee and always bring “newcomers” to drink at Jamo’s

Visit on Monday when Emily bartends! She is a fu{k!ng queen and will treat you like royalty as well. Jamo's is probably the only place left on the east side with authentic MCM decor. They have swag lamps galore!! Their ladies room has cornflower blue square tile and a matching ceramic sink - swoon! Also, drinks are inexpensive and you will probably make a friend at the bar.

I’ve known Jamo’s for years and spent time there in my younger and dirtier days. I’m older and cleaner now, but still enjoy an occasional buzz out on the town. Jamo’s is the kind of place to lose yourself in. Steal a surreal moment and disappear into the looking glass of Jamo’s. Patrons are friendly, the owner is a Milwaukee icon, and sometimes good looking people show up willing to converse. On the other side of the coin, Jamo’s is a neighborhood bar with a heart, taking care of its regulars. I liked observing that after living with the Seattle freeze here in the Pacific Northwest. The bartender can be greedy if you’re not a regular, so be careful with your cash, but that vigilance is part of getting that buzz on. Jamo’s is Milwaukee noir. Cherish it.

Nice off the beaten path bar. Brian is an exceptional bartender.
