Bad service. Everytime I tried starting a conversation he just kind of blowed me off. Kicked me out before I got a chance to order a drink. I wasn’t being disrespectful or

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.

Art is a legend who has owned the bar since 1980. We stumbled in here on a whim. Dive bar to the core and an endless entertainment plus $2.50 old style.

If you are looking for a no frills dive bar,you need to visit this place. No stars for the food as I didnt have any. Art the owner is filled with stories of old Milwaukee.Parking: Read the signs so you don't get towed from a lot or just park on the street.

Best place in town, can't beat the happy hour, and the merchandise isn't to be missed. Play a few rounds of dice with the man himself and enjoy a beer or two.

If there was such a thing as heaven on earth, Art's place would be somewhere between the McDonalds and the local gentleman's club. Do not let the worn facade fool you, the friendly confines of Art's Saloon will welcome you with cold, shaky arms. Some would argue that the inconsistent drink replenishment times, dimly lit lights, and the occasional criticism from staff (Art) would cause one to avoid this establishment. I would respond to those concerns with another question; "What more could you ask for?"Go to "The House That Art Built", enjoy a $2.50 miller light (or 6), and befriend the man that will serve you 10 one-liners before he pours your next beer.

Not sure if Art will ever see this but I wanted to say that his place is a one of a kind. The sex on the beach he made me was phenomenal. I’m glad my boyfriend and I got the opportunity to experience it as we were passing through Milwaukee.
We when here after a wedding. Immediately walking in a dog jumped up to me and started balking. I went before the wedding group and asked if it was okay to bring 20-30 last minute. The guy basically said everyone is welcome, but I'm only one here and I'm slow. He was very nice even with the very drunk people.If you're looking for interesting dive bar this is more interested than many. The guy asked me what I wanted and I was like I'm beyond good. And he gave me a water in a scotch glass and kept telling people it was vodka if it came up. The had Guinness for $8. Otherwise they had several different kinds of light beer and a decent selection of non top shelf liquor. In order to use the stall you have to shimmy/touch the person currently using the urinal. The ceiling tiles in the back look like they are falling down. They have a nice futsbol table and two picnic tables in the back patio.

Art is a true renaissance man. He can go from cracking jokes about Italians to quoting Shakespeare in mere seconds.This is a true dive bar in the best sense of the word. Come as you are and enjoy this man. He is a national treasure

Ended up at Art's late on a Saturday after driving in from Seattle via Minneapolis. The infamous proprietor was tending bar and honed in on my ethnic heritage, making irreverent comments that were refreshing in this uptight culture. All the patrons laughed when I responded, "I didn't kill him personally," to his query regarding the following day being Easter.Of course, this is the quintessential Milwaukee bar, Art's representing the working class beer and a shot heritage of the Cream City. Just Art's made me think Henry Meier was still the mayor. Calling it a dive bar is unfair. What Just Arts lacks in slick, it makes up with character.
