“We were driving by and the outside signage was calling our name. This is an old school corner tavern. We ended up staying longer than intended. We met Marty, the bartender and owner, great guy, had everyone going. Also his mom walked in and sat with us and told us the history behind the bar. Everyone in the place were all laughing and sharing story’s, felt like I had known these people my entire life. We will definitely stop in again when we are in the area. Thanks Marty!“

“Really enjoyed our meal at St Francis Brewery. Stephanie, our server was attentive and friendly. Food delivery was super speedy. Pretzel bites and cheese were so good. We had the Beer can chicken and chicken tenders- both excellent. Also big fans of the sweet potato fries. Live music was fantastic. Altogether a great vibe- we’ll be back!“

“Vegetarian options: Lol. It's a barbecue place with a "literal meat baby" on the menu. Not many vegetarian options. Maybe the pickles

Kid-friendliness: It's a barbecue bar in wisconsin kids gotta bring their parents if they want to go“

“The 5 star review is mainly for Mitch & Juan being so hospitable and friendly. They know customer service! We had an amazing time with friends, drinks and good company. Mitch and Juan got us some balloons to pop on the bullseye. What a good time. Thanks again!“

“I did not have food, so I can't really say how many stars that deserves. My husband brought me out for a much needed night out away from work, school and baby. We met Marlee at the bar and she greeted us with a warm smile and I immediately felt welcome. From there on she was attentive, professional and very friendly. I especially enjoyed how she helped me with my axe throwing skills. I may have a new interest in axe throwing as a hobby ;)
Anyway, she made me a solid drink and checked on us, with unwavering support and encouragement. I would suggest you come while Marlee is working for a great time with extraordinary service! Thanks“

“Best Drinks in Milwaukee 🔥“

“Went for the first time today for a doggo lunch date with muh fur baby. Wonderful staff and quick service. I noticed negative reviews complaining there was dogs, well no crap it’s the business model and there’s an actual picture of a dog on the door and logo. ANYWAYS price is a little steep but when I got my food holy cow it was delicious. And I love that they have dog friendly menu items available as well. The place is super clean for the amount of guests and animals that come through. Loved that the food pickup and service area is separate from dining. The only downfall was I did pay for pickles and there wasn’t any but I didn’t even notice it until I devoured the first half of my food. No big deal. I ordered the steak sandwich and strawberry limeade which I also love is made by hand with fresh fruit. My dog is now sleeping in a food coma as am I.“

“We had a blast .. found Holler House through Google search of oldest bars in Milwaukee. The owners Tom and Cathy are amazing and the locals made us feel at home! We have so many pictures and so much fun! Be sure to do a shotski! These Texans had a blast!“

“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.“

“Great Beer selection, even gluten free options!“

“We had a blast playing on the stage in the center hall these last two times. Definitely a room with a ton of potential and great acoustics.“

“Damond provided outstanding service. Great atmosphere. The Chicken Sandwich is truly the best ever. I’ll be back, working my way through the menu!“

“Awesome atmosphere where everyone is friendly. Great owner and awesome bartenders! If you haven’t been here already, you need to go!!!“

“food is so awesome! everyone is so nice! absolutely loved it!“

“Great people. Good drinks“

“Great burger joint! We each had The Archie burger and added on an onion ring and side of fries. We could have split the burger it was so huge. Be prepared with plenty of napkins - it’s the kind of burger that slides around.

Quick friendly service.“

“Only place around we know where you can play pingpong for free! They had pinball machines, darts and pingpong in the back. We came here for my mother's 64th birthday because she wanted to play table tennis and it was so fun! I haven't seen her smile like that in a long time!“

“We stopped on a Sunday afternoon. The bartender she was great. Personality and vibes were on point. Made us feel welcomed.

They had happy hour on their signature drinks and they were all delish.

I love the dive ish bar feel but the offering of craft cocktails.“

“great owner who is really great at incorporating others to feel appreciated . also the food is awesome with great portions“

“My hubby did a pickup order and wow, we were impressed! Pickup fish fry isn’t usually something we do (thanks kidney stones for ruining our night) because it gets soggy but tonight we had to and it was really good. They packaged everything separately so the tartar and the slaw weren’t warm sitting in the container with the hot food, I had the combination platter and the package the baked cod in a separate soup container which was great. My husband had the blue gill and really enjoyed them as did our 5 year old. The food was all really delicious and I can’t wait to dine in next time. My husband said while he had a beer at the bar while he waited for our food all of the employees were friendly and pleasant.“

“This has become my go-to gathering place on Downer Avenue. It's classy, relaxing, quiet enough for conversation, and has beverages to suit just about any mood or taste. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.“

“We had fun designing our golf hole. The staff, Makaylah and Rachel, were very helpful! There were lots of prop to add, but there could be more ramps to add different levels. That said, we saw some ideas how others used the props to make makeshift ramps. Had a fun bar vibe.“

“All they have for food is all they need for food: pizza. They have classic and modern cabinets + enough pinball, skee ball, and hoops games to keep you entertained. Plays are $0.25/player for every game, but they have specials that lower the cost per play even further. Great for small and large parties alike

Vegetarian options: Mona Lisa is a margarita pizza

Dietary restrictions: They have ciders and seltzer, but I do wish they had more rice beers

Parking: More reliable parking is on N Jackson

Kid-friendliness: The bar is strictly 21+

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps to main floor. I believe there's an elevator to the second floor“

“Awesome place!! My uncle used to be part owner years ago and my mom worked there. Supposedly I was conceived on the bar“

“Best date spot for young professionals in MKE. Come for the atmosphere and stay for the even more ambiance. It's like if Einstein invented the Tunnel of Love attraction in all those classic films about yt people wearing sweaters and getting married at age 17 instead of nuclear destruction, but even more.“

“Amazing bar tucked into the neighborhood. Beer list, wine list, and cocktails are all well thought out by someone who really cares. Good vibes. This place is 10/10.“

“Great little Japanese bar. Bartender was very knowledgeable about sake“

“Once we got engaged, we started looking at tons of venues and The Atrium was intriguing and we went to view it. When we were there on our initial tour it was everything we ever wanted including the upstairs bar, outdoor space and the beautiful main level. Working with The Atrium leading up to the wedding was a great experience, we were assigned Lori for our day of coordinator. We met Lori prior to the wedding day, and instantly had a connection. I knew Lori was going to be a great asset for our wedding day, she is full of knowledge and worked on the catering side in her past so every ounce of knowledge helped us. Come wedding day, she was by my side, making sure everything was perfect, including my bustle! I couldn’t have imagined having a better person by my side, bending over backward for me and our guests. Lori is a great asset to The Atrium’s team!“

“Great bar, delicious drinks, and the bartenders are always great. Cody is the best!“

“great spot great owner great fun“

“Nice atmosphere, and they have a cute outdoor area with heaters. The chairs outside had fur covers and they gave people blankets! The only small irritant was that they don't have the best placement plan for their large plants. I assume they're normally on the patio, but you have to keep pushing them out of the way to walk out of the back part of the bar. Otherwise, it was a great visit. We'll return for the summer menu!“

“Great bartenders, fun events!“

“What a hidden gem! The perch and cod were so moist and perfectly seasoned with a light cornbread breading. Tammy cooked and brought out our food. The men serving were comfortable and friendly, very relaxed place. We will be making this place a regular! Love the support for the police in there too!“

“Friendly bar and meet new friends and watch sports“

“As others have said, homey/divey vibe, nothing fancy but perfect for what it is. Feels like it's always been there. Great food too, friendly owner/bartender, an an excellent brandy old fashioned.
If you don't love this place, I think it says more about you than it does about Phylos!“

“Wc's rhythm and blues is a great place to have a nice decent party no drama just fun fun fun come on down and kicking with the family.“

“Walked in as a stop before dinner. Everyone here was quietly watching Jeopardy on the tv and politely saying their answers. We grabbed a booth and joined in the fun. Services was great. Won a $1 off a pull tab and wished we could have stayed longer. Vibes are incredible.“

“One of the few classier places where you can sit outside to enjoy a decent beer with a view. The crowd is not too young, they often play a good selection of dance hits, and typically very friendly. Sundays offer half off on tap beers. Cheers!!“

“Awesome place to grab a drink and actually talk.“

“great place to hang out. has been there for years“

“Crystal is the best!!!!!! I had soooo much fun!!!!“

“never again will I walk into to this establishment 0 outta 5.“

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

“Great place to watch a Packer game!💛💚“

“They are dog friendly and have consistently had good options on tap. Do know that they are a bar only, not a resturaunt. They have bags of chips for sale, but no food food. I like it because I like having a place out that I can take my dog. Dogs allowed inside and out on the patio.“
