“Quaint small tucked in bar right off Brady street. Drinks were flowing and bartender and locals were cool. Stayed until the later hours of the night until closing. Not much else to say but a fun place to hit if you want a simple vibe to drink the night away.“

“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“

“This is one of the best bars in Milwaukee. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. The staff and patrons are friendly and artworks from local artists are displayed. It’s got a good jukebox , games, and a great selection of beers. It’s also dog friendly, and they have Packer/Brewer parties , also FREE peanuts!“

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

“Always has wonderful and friendly service!“

“The mini beer hall has authentic vibe and Munich lagers on tap are very smooth. We had the wurst platter (highly recommend) and the pork schnitzel which was ok but lazer thin, any thinner any it would be mostly breading and not what I'm used to.“

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

“This little hole-in-the-wall bar is about as no-frills as it gets, and that's part of its charm. There's just one bartender who also handles all the cooking, so be patient—it keeps the place running. Every sandwich comes on garlic bread, which is a nice touch and sets them apart.

The food was fair overall, the service was fair, and the prices are hard to beat. Just remember to bring cash since it's cash only. If you're looking for an affordable local spot with a laid-back atmosphere, it's worth checking out. I'll definitely stop back and give a few more items on the menu a try.“

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

“Cant say enough good things about the winners circle! The burgurs at both locations are always amazing! the winners circle has some different burgurs that make for a fun variety!!“

“Great bar with welcoming bar tenders and fun patrons! If you want to have a great time, this is the bar for you!“

“Had some time on my hands and was driving by and noticed that the bar was open and decided to stop in for a quick beer and to use the facilities . Swift Kick is a fairly small and simple corner establishment with a one of those neat horse shoe shaped bars with the back bar in the center , you can see pretty much everyone that is there and I thought that was nice . The woman behind the bar was very nice and was eager to ask how she could be of service . The afternoon that I stopped seemed to have an older clientele and they were all friendly . It's clean and I would certainly stop in again if in the area . Parking is all on the street . If ya like quaint little spots , stop by and check out theSwift Kick Pub .“

“👍🏼👍🏼 always have had a good time here. Definitely a great bar especially so close Fiserv Forum!“

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

“was great food n service“

“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!“

“Exciting First Fish Fry Experience of Lent 2025!
Today, I finally had the chance to step into Jerseys Pub and Grill for my first official Fish Fry Lunch of Lent 2025! It's located at 4024 S Howell Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53207, and let me tell you – I’ve passed by this place countless times, but today, I finally got to experience it! What a hidden gem it turned out to be!
It all started when I met the owner, who just so happens to have a son at the same elementary school as my own. That’s when I discovered their Friday Fish Fry – a perfect addition to my Fish Fry Bucket List.
Now, let's dive into the mouthwatering menu options they offer on Fridays:
* Cod Fish Fry: Freshly cut lemon wedge, slaw, rye bread, and your choice of fries, potato wedges, or tater tots, all for $13.
* Fish Sandwich: Served with your choice of potato for $10.
* Shrimp Tacos: A flavorful delight for $9.50.
* Fish Tacos: Tasty and satisfying for $9.50.
* Shrimp Basket: Perfect for seafood lovers at $11.
From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the owner’s warm and friendly demeanor – she made me feel right at home. Her impeccable service really set the tone for the whole experience.
As for the food – WOW! I was served three generously-sized pieces of cod, perfectly battered with just the right amount of crispiness, yet not oily at all (huge win!). I went with the potato wedges, and they were on point – golden brown, crispy on the outside, and warm & fluffy on the inside. The slaw wasn’t the creamy type I usually prefer, but it had a delightful, crisp flavor that paired perfectly with everything else.
All in all, this was a fantastic Fish Fry Lunch that I’d definitely recommend if you’re in the area and craving something new! Another Milwaukee gem to add to your list.“

“Had a great time shot pool for 5 hours drink soda people very friendly the wasn't really that busy but it was busy enough to wear the bartenders were busy had a great time nothing wrong with the bar owner I've known for a long time and he built the bar basically by himself he gutted that building and built everything in there all brass hardwood floors just gorgeous I recommend it to anyone thanks a lot for a good time“

“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.“

“such a fun club, the upstairs is the best part- sometimes too packed but they keep a decent job controlling the traffic flow.
hit or miss music depending on the Dj but usually it’s good!
drinks are good and cheap compared to other bars/clubs!“

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

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

“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…👀“

“We came in close to when the bar opened, I think we walked in around 12pm ish. Sam was working at that time (it was Saturday Aug. 8th) and let me tell you!!! She gave us the best experience. Great personality, easy to talk to, down to earth — seriously the best bartender/waitress you guys have!! We had a couple drinks & left to go explore Milwaukee but came back specifically to see her and see the bar during its busy time. The mechanical Bull was an absolute blast, the outdoor patio was great, just an all around great experience. Shout out to Sam for directing us to the public market & being just a great person to chat with! Will definitely be back whenever we visit Milwaukee again“

“I had the pleasure of bringing 45 people into On Tap with my tour company, Fun Beer Tours Milwaukee, for a luncheon buffet. From the moment we walked in, everything was A+. Glasses of ice water and drink menus awaited us at each table. The GM was on hand and ensured that everything ran smoothly. The bartender/server immediately took drink orders and returned quickly with an array of tasty beverages. The kitchen staff had the buffet line all perfectly set out, even with little placards to identify each item in their respective serving trays. When one participant asked for a special gluten free option, the kitchen promptly replied with an offering that made her happy. As I walked from table to table to check in on things, the consensus that I heard over and over was that the food was "terrific" (full disclosure - the 'house chips' were described as "phenomenal"). Everything was top notch - the service, the timing aspect, and the food. I highly recommend for regular dining but also for large group outings such as mine as well.“
