48 Best Pubs in Milwaukee

“Hands down best food in Kenosha.“

“Came upon this little gem when looking for a place to have some drinks before a show and so glad we did! This place is so cute, it’s small but it’s very nice inside and has that nice feel of comfort. When we got there it was slow but it quickly got busy and the bartender, Christina, was the only one there besides the cooks and she ROCKED it. She remained collective and calm during the rush that came out of nowhere. The food is also amazing, while we only had a couple of apps, the burgers looked insanely delicious and we are definitely going back to try them.“

“Best place to watch sports ⚽️“

“I didn’t eat anything here. Actually just popped in to meet up with colleagues before a Bucks game. Grabbed a Dunkel and got to know new business associates. Loved this little place. The Nail Game was going on in the back dining area. The bar has personal steins for the regulars.“

“The Stone might be the friendliest bar in Milwaukee. Before I settled my butt into a seat at the bar, someone welcomed me with a hello and a welcome. Soon, more of the customers ambled up to me to talk about a myriad of subjects. This was an eclectic crowd, and obviously, all were welcome. These days, I'm invariably the oldest cat in the joint, but no one at the Stone seemed to notice. Neither did my dark glasses or fedora cause people at The Stone to keep their distance. That was very cool because how I dress is often construed as pretentious in the down-to-earth confines of Milwaukee. However, the regulars at The Stone let my personality and discourse speak rather than my appearance. That meant a lot to me. I left The Stone knowing I always had a welcoming tavern to go to. What a wonderful feeling. The Stone is a special place. BTW, the drinks were fine, and the prices were good.“

“Chelsea was an incredible server and they were just incredible too!!! They were super informative for us! ❤️“

“Delicious food great service“

“Was in Milwaukee for the weekend with some friends and i Went to "Hosed on brady" on a friday night at like 1:00 a.m and was the only one in there besides the 2 employees.. they were nice enough and the service was good. It was nice cause around the corner is like a bunch of crowded bars that i walked by on the way back to the air BnB, and the people that i experienced were exactly what i was trying to avoid by going into an empty bar.. drunk people kind of suck ya know?

Kid-friendliness: Its a bar lol“

“Great drinks good people!!!“

“The best family, food & time. Go see them!!“

“The drinks and food are spot on! An affordable joint to frequent! The staff is welcoming and professional. We all pop over every chance we get! Taco’s are amazing and they play good music and have TVs for sports! Go Brewers. See you there“

“The owner & his employees...just awesome people! It is the coolest little neighborhood bar. A must if in the Brady Street bar area.“

“If you’re looking for a laid-back neighborhood bar with cheap drinks and a welcoming vibe, Gators Pub is the spot. The atmosphere is friendly, the regulars are down-to-earth, and the staff makes you feel right at home. The owner is awesome—always around, making sure everyone’s having a good time. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick drink or planning to stay a while, you’ll get great service without breaking the bank. Definitely a hidden gem worth checking out!“

“Great place! Check it out!!“

“Nice dive bar, must be a darts bar because they had at least 4 of them.“

“My husband is a huge soccer fan so we decided to do the rehearsal dinner for our wedding this summer at the Red Lion out on the back patio. It was the most perfect venue and meal! Our friends and family raved about the food and planning everything (including drink tickets, menu, and dealing with a year long postponement during a pandemic) was easy with their event coordinator. We were able to play games on the deck and mingle and had plenty of room when a few extra unexpected guests arrived. Would recommend for any event!“

“ok. so we got food brought in to work. I got to lunch about an hour after it got there, no problem. the food was so good and such high quality, I didn't need to reheat it. that's right... ate it cold and it was still amazing! 5 Stars my friends, without a doubt.“

“Worked here for 2 years and always have a great time with the customers 🤍“

“Great drinks, burgers and the best fries iv ever had.“

“We had a fantastic meal & will definitely be back. We stopped in after a Bucks game just before the kitchen closed, they were very accommodating and helpful. The food was AMAZING, after just few bites of our meal our entire party (2 kids & 2 adults) was already trying to figure out when we could come back during our weekend trip. Our waiter, Michael was very friendly & attentive, highly recommend!“

“I love Anticipation and the staff. Amber especially is so friendly and attentive with drinks. I always make sure to stop in with my dad when I get back to town.“

“Was never to Oscars before. I didn't expect that I'd be eating the greatest burger I've had in my Life. Meat was thick and juicy. Bun was clean and soft. Onion rings were hot with a firm dense crust. My friend and I were almost in disbelief. Staff was incredibly polite. Clientele, (place was packed), were well-mannered. I'll definitely be back. 10/10“

“Great prices, perfect bar menu, great staff, but what really makes this bar great is the owner's passion for the legacy and history of the bar. The items on display are one of a kind, and knowledge the bar owners have about this establishment and the items on display is rare these days. Their love for this bar spills over into the "personality" of this place. Stop in, get a drink, a bite to eat, look around, ask questions...you'll leave with a truly memorable experience!“

“The pizza is AMAZING!! We tried several pizzas but my favorite was the Tin Widow, deep dish and we added the meatballs! So good!!! AND their customer service is awesome! Love it!!“

“Great place to watch soccer. They also have a nice beer selection.“

“Great food and great service and great people“

“Absolutely amazing place with amazing food. The wings are amazing so are the burgers. karaoke is a bonus on Mondays.“

“The ambience is unbeatable. I feel like you’re enjoying someone’s living room. Each of the different decorative spaces can give you in your party the vibe you’re looking for. Cozy…you loose all track of time.“

“This was my first time visiting Jerseys Pub & Grill. I was there celebrating my cousins 50th birthday party. Had a great time. The atmosphere was free flowing. The service was good. The restroom and establishment was clean. Did not order any food. Food was provided by the party I was with. I did order a Bloody Mary, was delicious. I will visit Jerseys Pub & grill again. ??“

“Great bartenders, atmosphere, and good local beers!“

“Watched English football in a nice atmosphere. The drinks were cheap and the food ok.“

“I love this bar and it is a must visit for me every time I am in Milwaukee. 10/10 I’ve never had a bad time 🍻“

“Great place to eat and have authentic German beer“

“It was a crisp night in Milwaukee as I strolled out of Jack’s. The question of the wise man next door lingered in my head with each step I took. I found my way into Jo-cats I was relieved to find out the questions of the man next door left me for a second. A glimpse of clear thought. It was …. “

“great spot. fun atmosphere and Josh and Eric were awesome bartenders! would recommend to my mother. and my dad's girlfriend!!! thanks guys!“

“Mitchell's has been a Bar from the Stone Ages. They have 2 Kick A** car shows but the normality of Mitchell's is not apparentl. No food, no open mic and no weekend features of a live band. Brent is a nice guy but if I owned this bar, with the size of it, would be one of the nicest places on the near north side of Milwaukee. Other than that, there's no reason to come here.“

“I adore corner bars, this one ranks high. We were in for one quick drink, but I could have sat there for hours. The bartender was very engaging, and she felt like an old friend, not a barkeep in a new place. I will go back, and hope she'll be working again.“

“Yep yep“

“Good People Clean Excellent food Best Bar Ever!“

“I didn't have any food but as an artist playing a gig there for the first time, it couldn't have been smoother. The sound guy was a certified badass, knew his shit and cared about what we were doing. Bartenders were super cool.. load in and out was convenient and quick. Would love to play here again.“

“Great food..awesome bloodies!!!“

“This place is a nice little bar with a litte of everything. Good prices, darts, billiards, a few large televisions for sports and they are open on Thanksgiving. If you are in the area, it is worth dropping in. They also have TouchTunes if you are familiar with the app, so you can pick the music that is played while you are there. There is limited parking, but there is street parking nearby as well.“

“This place is fantastic! We came here with a larger group for Sunday brunch. The commutation when it came to setting up the reservation was great. We were welcomed in and were able to immediately start ordering drinks. The bartenders were awesome the whole time we were there (we stayed there for about 4 hours). You go up to a window to order food and are given a pager. This worked out great because everyone could eat whatever they wanted to. The food was delicious!!! All of it!! They also had vending machines with fun stuff in them and pull tabs so that kept everyone busy for a while. I’d definitely return and can’t wait to try more off the menu! Thank you for everything, Justin!“

“the bartenders are attentive and know how to pour, hence the name…👀“

“Great sports atmosphere with high quality service“

“Came up with friends for Harley Homecoming weekend. Our buddy picked this place and I am glad he did. It was amazing! Try the Scotch Egg and spring roll. Delicious! Get something that has corned beef in it! The staff were awesome and friendly. We will be back to try more when we are in the area again.“

“Could be the LOUDEST bar I've been to in quite some time. Music was blasting but hey....everyone was having a good time. We went for dinner and had a hard time believing a bar like this served food. Food was delicious, service was excellent on such a busy Saturday nite. We were surprised at how good the food and service were..“
