50 Best Pubs near Wauwatosa

“Good food great service! Would definitely go back!“

“Had great pre-Christmas Old Fashioneds there tonight. It is the most festive atmosphere you’re going find in the city. Great service on a very busy night.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Best place to watch sports ⚽️“

“Great place to shake some dice 🥰“

“Delicious food great service“

“Hands down one of the best establishments in the greater Milwaukee area! The food is amazing and CHEAP, as are the drinks. The bartender is a woman of the highest class, and the patrons open and friendly. It's like a blast from the past, few places of this caliber exist anywhere in the United States. It's up to us to give it the business to keep it here!“

“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.“

“Stopped in Sunday for a burger since it was recommended and it did not disappoint. Food was great and our server Brandon was the best! Brandon was so attentive and fun. His fun personality made dinner taste even better. Danny's is very fortunate to have such a great employee.“

“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!!“

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

“So the review written by "Being Still", I was there with this person. The restaurant reached out to this person through Messenger, but because they blocked Being Still, there is no way to respond to them. And they took the comments off their facebook page and blocked Being Still.... nice.... Seems sneaky to not leave a honest review up for people to see the conversations, but to only have the good ones on your Facebook page. Instead of having to go look in the review section to find honest reviews.“

“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“

“Great location to have a beer and shoot some pool. They have many pool tables, a huge bar, and good food! If you live in the area, I recommend you give them a try, especially if you are a WI sports memorabilia person, this place is a must!“

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

“Great place! Check it out!!“

“Hands down best food in Kenosha.“

“Love the Bosch“

“Always has wonderful and friendly service!“

“I have been here on and off for years, nice little sports bar with tons of regulars. Dennis has been in the Bar game for years and knows what fellow sports people want and need, remember I am a fair weather fan lol. Plenty of Milwaukee sarcasm with pull tabs and raffles. Another great small neighborhood bar. I still go here and always will...I like it.“

“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.“

“Fun place, kind people,great drinks.“

“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.“

“Between Three Lions Pub and its sister bar - Red Lion Pub, I’ve been many times. The food is always excellent with a good selection of draft beers (the fish and chips is top notch and I personally recommend pairing it with a Smithwicks). For any soccer fans out there, it’s definitely the place to watch the game! The bartenders and servers are all fun yet attentive. The place is clearly the kind of pub that has its cast of regulars, which is always a good sign in my book. The atmosphere is cozy and friendly with booths, tabletop, and bar seating. It’s a proper British pub. There is readily available street parking as well.“

“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“

“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!!“

“We stopped by Sunday afternoon to have lunch after dress shopping. It was myself, my 5 yr old, my mom, my Mother-in-law, 2 sisters, and my cousin. The service was friendly and fast and the food was absolutely delicious. I was pleasantly surprised in the variety of food offered and how it was different than most “bar and grill” food. I would definitely eat here again!👏🏻👍🏻it’s like a fancy Unos/Applebees inside a dive bar vibe😃“

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

“Excellent food, service and ambience.“

“Great food and great service and great people“

“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!“

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

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

“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. ??“

“I had the roasted chicken, which was really good. My friend had the bacon burger, large beef patty with lots of bacon. The bartender DJ is just fabulous. The customers weren’t really friendly when I tried to play some music that I wanted to play, but I would definitely go back, but just for a good time, not a long time.“

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

“Great music, nice people & something to do -- darts and pool!“

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

“Stop #6 of My 2025 Lenten Lunch Fish Fry Tour: Joe’s K Ranch – A Must-Visit Fish Fry Gem!** Located at 4840 S Whitnall Ave, Cudahy, WI 53110 If you're on the hunt for the ultimate Friday Fish Fry experience, Joe’s K Ranch in Cudahy is calling your name—and trust me, you *want* to answer.

“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 🍻“

“I’ve lived in Milwaukee since August & this has quickly become my go-to wing place with my girlfriend (who introduced me to it last year). We come here weekly like clockwork now - before moving here it was my choice when I’d come up from IL to visit (when it was my time to pick) - for the Jacks, Ecto Cooler & the Parm fries but also for the EXCEPTIONAL service by Katie. She helps me navigate this large, fabulous menu & she has never steered us wrong. She is so knowledgeable, fast & friendly. I only wish every place had a Katie to accent a menu this delicious. Nom nom nom. Run, don’t walk here.“
