50 Best Pubs near Wauwatosa

“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.“

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

“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.“

“The lemon pepper wings at the event yesterday, was delicious af“

“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“

“Delicious food great service“

“I've been here with my boyfriend a couple times now. We love it! We have stopped by this bar with some friends that live close.The food was good the one time we actually ate there.And we all like to get the Underdog digestif. There is another one sold at the bar, a bit cheaper, and if you buy 4 you get the 5th one free.The bar is loud, but that is expected. It's super fun if a band is playing as well. Such a fun bar. They also have Hammerschlagenthat you can play at the back if you buy nails at the bar. Funnnnn!“

“Perfect ordering to go experience. Cheerful ,happy person who took our over the phone order and thanked us for it. Gave me a pick up time, I got there 3 minutes early, was cheerfully greeted by waitress, within 30 seconds of my assigned time, my two fish dinners came out and the lady cheerfully handled the payment. My wifes Haddock and my Cajun Baked Haddock were excellent, as were the hush puppies. Very impressed“

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

“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!“

“my wife and I had dinner on Saturday 9/2 Ribeyes were good, drinks were good. Had a nice conversation with the owner, who was going around greeting customers, clearing plates. we will be back“

“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.“

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

“I went here a few nights ago with my dad. The Pulled Pork is always a favorite and I really like their fries. My dad ordered the same thing as me and also enjoyed them. The place gets very crowded but I feel like they handled it pretty well.I think next time I'll have to try their pretzel because it looks great on the menu but I didn't order it and looking back I definitely should have ordered it. Service is great and you really get a lot of food for the money. Overall, I highly recommend checking this place out.

Parking: Tons of parking next to the restaurant.“

“This bar was not busy when we stopped on a Friday evening around 6pm. Thus made the experience even better. We had a nice conversation with the bartender and learned that it was owned by the Marcus Corporation and it's connected to the Safe House! We got transported to the Safe House through a secret alcove. So fun!“

“It’s just stupid not to give this place a gazillion stars. If you’re visiting or a local, it’s just stupid not to go here. Amy is hands down the best owner/bar tender I’ve ever run across and if you’ve had a bad experience here, it’s likely you’re just stupid. Just go. Don’t be stupid. And tip heavily because they don’t charge enough for drinks. That is all. Don’t be stupid. Oh, and I’d be up for her changing the name to “Amy’s, the un-stupid bar.”“

“Always has wonderful and friendly service!“

“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!“

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

“Fun place, kind people,great drinks.“

“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.“

“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“

“Yes please! This place and its sister bar right next store are a must visit. It's a dive bar with great drink specials . I went with a large group thinking we would just have a drink and we stayed for hours. I would recommend it highly.“

“The food was absolutely fantastic and the service was outstanding! they were extremely busy but you couldn't even tell! Food came out quickly and nice and fresh and hot. The Brussel sprouts and Tiramasu Cheesecake were out of this world and thr crispy chicken sandwich was crispy and delicious!! 10 out of 10!! Will be back again!“

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

“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.“

“Excellent food, service and ambience.“

“Great owners! Fabulous staff! Amazing patrons! Atmoshpere is outstanding! Best Cheese Curds in South Milwaukee! Definitely a must stop, if u are in the area! 5 STARS FOR SURE+“

“Great staff, fast service, great burgers“

“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.“

“Greg’s place all around. Chill vibe.“

“Giant sports bar. Solid wings. Huge nachos in a pizza box! Attentive & friendly bar staff. Awesome sports memorabilia. There was no table food service when I went, we ordered food at the bar, got a text when ready, picked up at the food window.“

“Great bar and grill. Very reasonable and excellent food. The chicken I think is the best!!“

“This is our neighborhood favorite. The food is really good, and the portions are healthy. I have yet to be disappointed with the appetizers. My go-to picks are the mac and cheese balls, the mini corndogs, and the pretzel bites with cheese. The Reuben rolls and chicken tenders are not to be missed either! The weekly burger special and the bi-weekly Mexican specials are reasonably priced and delicious. George's salsa is to die for! Beware the nacho plate is huge! Be sure to bring a friend or three to help you with the belly-filling app. The shepherd's pie is a winner, and the pizzas really do the trick. The staff is friendly, the drinks are tasty, and kitchen knows their stuff! Let's not forget that they have Trivia on Thursdays, lots of fun events, and awesome shuttle service and drivers to and from the Brewers' games. Old school bar games round out the experience.“

“Wonderful, friendly service. The food was fantastic! Best baked beans I've ever eaten. Great drink options. Fun atmosphere. I would come back often if I lived near by!!“

“Been to Bushy's before, but not for a very long time (due to service issues and food quality). Our friends wanted to try the Friday Fish Fry, so we agreed to go. Go there around 7:00, it was busy, but there were still several open tables in the bar area.

Our server took a while to get to us, but after the initial contact he did a great job (Thanks Trey). We ordered an assortment of fish, and burgers. Everything came out relatively quickly, the temperatures were all good (even the frys were nice and hot). The burger was done to order (medium). The potato pancakes were very good too, nice an crispy.

Overall a really good experience.

My only complaint was the noise level, and there are video games throughout the bar area. We could have done without the extra unnecessary noise.

Glad we tried it again.“

“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!!“

“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 food both for lunch or dinner. Fish fry’s are awesome as well. Prime Rib is spectacular“

“Always the best wings and service! They are busy and may take a few but trust that they see you and will get to you in an orderly fashion.“

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

“The wings were amazing! A semi-spicy dry rub that is completely worth the wait (and there will be a wait, especially on the Wednesday night wing special). Fairly priced beer with an awesome bartender. The only downfall for me was the music was a little loud, and one of the speakers in the back room is blown out so doesn't sound good on certain songs.“

“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!“

“Fish fry was wonderful. Had the baked crusted Parmesan cod. Fresh homemade coleslaw, garlic angel hair pasta that was done to perfection, and of course rye bread that was buttered from end to end. People were very friendly and warm. Can't wait to go back for Mondays Prime Rib. A special thank you goes out to Bud. A true pearl.“

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