50 Best Sports Bars in Milwaukee

“Darts is always a hit on Thursdays, friendly atmosphere, Sports on all the time, Poker on Sundays, and always endless memories to be made😌“

“Friday’s lunch took me to Dale Z’s On Tour at 3585 S Howell Ave, Milwaukee, WI, for the 4th installment of my Fish Fry adventures for 2025. The meal provided a satisfying experience, with a few small areas that could be improved, but overall, a good choice if you're craving a pleasant fish fry. Options for the Fish Fry: Friday Fish Fry – $12.95 for 3 pieces of cod (fried, baked, or blackened), served with coleslaw, buttered marble rye, lemon, tartar sauce, and a choice of fries, potato pancakes (2), or Soup of the Day. Additional cod is $2.95, and tartar sauce is $0.50. Apple sauce or maple syrup available by request. Shrimp Fry – $13.95 for 8 crispy butterflied shrimp, coleslaw, buttered marble rye, lemon, cocktail sauce, and a choice of fries, potato pancakes (2), or Soup of the Day. Additional shrimp is $4.95, and cocktail sauce is $0.50. Apple sauce or maple syrup available by request. In addition to the fish fry options, there was a Side of Potato Pancakes for $3.95, and the Soup of the Day was clam chowder—available in cup ($3.95), bowl ($4.95), or quart to-go ($11.95). The Meal: I went solo this time and started with a cup of clam chowder, followed by the Friday Fish Fry—fried cod with fries. Clam Chowder: While the clam chowder wasn’t the most exciting, it was still decent. It was missing a few of the key ingredients I typically love in chowder, like salted pork, onions, and celery. The texture wasn’t as creamy as I’d prefer, and the potatoes were a bit mushy, but the flavor itself was satisfying enough. It was a nice way to start the meal Fish Fry: The fried cod was pleasant. It was thinly battered and not greasy. The fries were the standard kind you’d expect—nothing fancy, but good. Honestly, I’d go for the potato pancakes next time, as I think they’d complement the fish better than fries. The coleslaw was fresh and creamy, providing a nice contrast to the crispy fish. Shrimp Fry: The Shrimp Fry ($13.95) caught my eye as well, and from the looks of it, it was a solid choice for shrimp lovers. It comes with 8 crispy butterflied shrimp, which are golden and perfectly fried—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. The shrimp are served with cocktail sauce for dipping, and the same sides as the fish fry (coleslaw, buttered marble rye, fries or pancakes). I didn’t try the shrimp this time, but the plate looked well-balanced and a great alternative to the fish. Overall Value: The total for my meal came to $25.21 including tip, which included the cup of clam chowder, the fish fry, and a coke. I felt the price was fair for the portion sizes and the quality of the food. Plus, the service was friendly and attentive, making the experience enjoyable. Final Thoughts: Overall, Dale Z’s On Tour offers a solid fish fry with good value and friendly service. While the chowder wasn’t my favorite and the fries were standard, the fish was pleasant, and the shrimp fry is a great option if you’re in the mood for another seafood option. If you're in the Milwaukee area and looking for a reliable fish fry, Dale Z’s is definitely worth a stop. I will make sure to try the potato pancakes next time!“

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

“friendly people nice bar Always Had fun great Experience“

“Really cool place. Lots of tvs with sports on. Surprisingly good BBQ and Meatloaf. Higher quality than most bar food. While the servers are usually friendly, getting someone to actually come to your table to help you is pretty difficult and can be a little annoying. Also has great trivia on Wednesdays. Besides the slow service, I like this place.“

“A roomy place to grab a bite or pre/post-game for the Brewers. There are lots of games and an indoor/outdoor vibe. Free shuttles too!“

“Bloody Mary gurus! Great bartenders“

“Pizza is like jacks but so much better with service amazing from both Greg and Gwen. Gwen is newer while blowing our minds. Meanwhile Greg is a long timer and amazes me every time. The hospitality and service overall is exceptional. Five stars always.“

“Nice place to get a drink after work“

“1st time there last Friday, didn't know the spot was a bar/dance club. I had a good time the DJ was pretty good and the drinks was great the bartenders real generous wit the alcohol lol. All in all a fun experience, I'll definitely be going more“

“Breanna at District Fore absolutely made our day. We came in for my husband's birthday and had an absolute blast with great food, drinks, and the golf simulator. Breanna is very attentive and personally ensured we had the best time.“

“Our favorite neighborhood establishment! We enjoy stopping in after dinner on the weekends. Richard is a great bartender & always provides excellent service. It looks small from the outside but there is a large back area that hosts many parties year round. A cute back patio for those warm evenings. They serve frozen pizzas from their sister establishment, The Bowery which are delish!
Great, spot to relax or watch your favorite sports!“

“Great Beer Great Wings! Great venue to watch the game“

“I had there pancakes and wow yummy And they are as big as a dinner plate.“

“Thomas was our amazing server for the night. Really liked his laid back, but friendly and helpful demeanor, as well as his professionalism in accommodating our needs. Made our experience super easy and perfectly pleasant.

Grilled wings
Ooh, these were perfectly grilled. Very tasty sauce (hot honey garlic, at Thomas’ recommendation) that wasn’t overdone or underdone - just the right amount. I usually get my wings naked because so many places go wrong with the amount of sauce (usually just too drenched), but since we were on a timeline tonight, we just ordered without asking for anything else. So glad we did! By the way, not fried wings, so not super crunchy on the outside but still crispy and not at all soggy. And super moist, perfect temp inside.

Tap Guinness
Perfectly poured with just the right amount of cream on top. Hany is usually an IPA man, and went Guinness this time and did not regret it!

Overall, this place is a little bit further away than the new hopping bars on the Deer District. I wanted to try the new places, so kept on trying them while hubby wanted to keep coming back here… and I’m glad we did this time. Sometimes new is good, but they’ve got it right here - I don’t have to keep searching!

Oh just one thing - all the TVs in the bar, and they have to play 60 minutes? Without captions? lol“

“Love the Bowling Center! Always Looks Clean & Very Well Taken Care Of. This Center is a True Jewel That All Bowlers including Other More Serious Bowlers need to try! Staff is Always Friendly & able to take care of any needs that customers have. Love the fact this Bowling Center is open to the public & is not just for Marquette or College Students! Bowling prices are super cheap & the bowling center always offer great deals vs other more corporate type bowling centers. About the only thing missing is - a pro shop! Otherwise I just love this bowling center!“

“No better way to start a Brewers game than to go to Kelly's Bleachers. Affordable eats, small menu, delicious food and any drink you could ever want! Best part is when you are done, jump on their shuttle service to the ballpark! Clean, friendly service takes you directly to the front gate. What else could you ask for! They will also bring you back after the game.“

“Great bar good but not typical, eg the usual French Dip is called an Irish Dip, served with sliced tenderloin steak. Cheese and Brat soup for game day. Wings are delicious with lots of sauces.
On Brewers game days their lot fills up fast, but there's plenty of neighborhood street parking.“

“I was recently in MKE for a week. I went to several bars while there Dukes On The Water was by far my favorite! We were greeted quickly upon entering & Katrina was a GREAT bartender. One of the owners came in while we were there, Tim was GREAT as well!! Highly recommend this place“

“Found this place on a whim by searching food near me on our way home from St. Lukes. We checked out the menu and were sold! I must say the food was hot and tasty! I had the Onion Burger, My friend the Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos. The serving size were plentiful. We will definitely be back and we'll spread the word !! Keep it Up!!“

“Sara is a great martini maker and priscilla has the best hair. Soup de jour was on point“

“A rock solid dive bar in MKE. The lighting is dark and vibes are chill.
Order your favorite beer or cocktail and make a new bartender friend. Play some shuffle board It is that simple. This what Milwaukee dive bars are about. Have fun“

“Best restaurant to hit before a bucks game, amazing staff. Ask for Matt he’s the man🔥“

“estaba riquisimo la comida buen servicio y a un buen precio. me encanto el lugar si buscan autentica comida d puerto rico se los recomiendo“

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

“Super cool little corner bar! They have a very good amount of drink options, I even asked for something I didn't think they would have and they had it. Service was great and the prices were more than fair. I also liked that they had security after it got dark, definitely makes me feel comfortable. They had a pretty decent pool table and lots of video games to play. They also had a DJ that started at 10 and he smashed it! I'll definitely be back with more friends to show. They have frozen pizza but I didn't try it.“

“Best Bar ever! Hosted our recent party there and talk about going above and beyond. Nicest staff, amazing food, tons of space! Games to play and good music as well. If you’re haven’t been, you need to check it out! Super cool spot in a prime location – especially if you’re a Brewer fan! Can’t beat it. A++“

“My neighborhood "cheers". I moved to the area 2yrs ago, and I just started visiting this place in the summer. I like it here. There's always good vibes. Sarah and Dawn are awesome! Sarah makes the best wings and they have a nice variety of flavors! The drinks are well made, and the prices are affordable. It's a nice place for a quick bite to eat and a drink after work. Game days are always a go!“

“My experience at this bar was highly satisfactory. The drink quality, cleanliness, and overall ambiance met a high standard. Skye was attentive and ensured that service was prompt and organized throughout the evening. This location is a solid choice for anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable bar experience.“

“Went for there 11-4pm special. Attendants at the front were pleasant and service at the bar was efficient and polite. Additionally, the tables, including the one I spent several hours on, all appeared to be in impeccable condition. Absolutely fantastic value for the money if you have a weekday off and I definitely plan on returning a regular basis.“

“Tammy the bartender is such a sweet gal, who is always smiling, very accommodating to all the patrons, and doesn't show a bit of anxiety or frustration when the bar gets busy during DJ/KARAOKE Johnny Monday nights!! She handles herself very professional, multitasks very well with delicious Garlic Bread and Pizza orders. I enjoy going there and highly recommend this establishment for fun venues, great service, cozy atmosphere, & all around a good place to relax after a long day at work!!! ??????♥️“

“Great looking bar !!! Awesome country music . The staff was friendly and so much fun. My new favorite bar in Milwaukee !!!!“
