We came in with a party of 10 and despite being super busy they were able to seat us pretty quickly! It was nice and warm in the 3 season area and the waitress was working her butt off! She was running all around and very attentive to our needs. Food came out fast and drinks were good!

Dive bar atmosphere with a great late night menu. Stopped in for some drinks and decided to order the Reuben and mozzarella rolls (they come in orders of four, six or eight). we did 6, three Rubens and three mozzarella's. They were excellent! Honestly, can't tell you which ones I like better. The inside was packed and the outside was wonton, very light and crunchy. Loved the dipping sauce (nothing special... thousand island and marina... but they hit the spot!). Our waitress was excellent. Friendly, funny and supper cool. Had fun, glad we stopped in.

I just discovered this 2 weeks ago. I amHOOKED. I moved to Milwaukee 6 months ago and this is definitely one of my new favorite spots. The cheese curds are to die for! The Rueben rolls are incredible. The Mac and cheese is out of this world. I love the late night food option, that’s how I ended up here. The place has a very local neighborhood vibe. I will be going back here over and over.

I came here on St Patrick’s day and they had a very limited menu, but the corn beef dinner was pretty good and the bartenders were friendly. There was a lot of seating as well. I’ll have to come back and try some of their other dishes..

This place is well known for its Irish pub atmosphere and food/drink. The food has been good all the way back to when it was Smugglers in the 90's. It was Marlin's on Florida, Slim McGinns, and has prospered as O'Lydia's for years now. Everyone enjoys the food, and yet it is still underrated. The fish fry was so good, I would go back again the next week. The prices are not cheap, but I already said that it hit the mark so you can't complain.

Great food, absolutely fantastic service from both the bar and our server at the table! I also, for whatever reason, fell in love with their beautiful ceiling ?

In front Detroit, in town for St. Patty’s day and decided to come here the day before. Food was awesome, atmosphere was perfect but the staff made this place. They were fun, engaging and just made this place feel like a bar you’d want to come back to.
Great atmosphere and service. Great place for Friday fish fry.

Great times here. Great food selection (try the wings!). There are daily specials for food and drinks. The staff is very friendly and the place is easily accessible. I'll be coming back for sure.
