Great bar/restaurant. We went there looking for Poutine. And we found it! We were just hoping for a nice place to have a drink and get a snack. We had the poutine and it was wonderful. We also ordered onion rings, jalapeno poppers, and breaded green beans. The breading is seasoned very well. All were great. It was served with their homemade ranch. I am not a big ranch fan, but this stuff was delicious. We only planned on the apps, but my wife saw one of their smash burgers and got that to share. The burger was just as good as the appetizers. Juicy and flavorful. They have a couple jigs behind the bar. They are the infused vodka for bloody’s and their mix for old fashions. The bloody is not all gussied up with toppings. But it is made with love. They have a dry mix and a wet mix to go with the infused vodka. It’s the best Bloody Mary I have ever had. And I have tried all the hot spots in Milwaukee. So, the food and drinks were amazing, and the service was just as good. Definitely recommend this place.

Good food and beer. They like to have special events every so often that make it fun to go.

When I saw Layman Brewing listed in the Milwaukee Magazine for one of the best burgers in the area, AND its a dive brewery, I had to check it out. This place is definitely a really unique brewery given that its in a dive bar. You can see the beer tanks right from the bar/tables. They have small batch beers to choose from, and if you finish the batch, your name goes on the board on their wall!
For the food, the burgers were great and the fries were even better! They're homemade and I would go back just for a basket of those fries. Their cheese curds were also delicious. We ordered a pickled egg because if that's listed on the menu we had to try one.
We loved the staff. Very down to earth and fun to talk to. We even got complimentary key lime pie shots, which they make in house, and they were so good we ordered another round.

Friendly corner bar with tasty micro brews and a burger of the month. I was welcomed with this complimentary stick and a shot of there key lime pie.

Five starts and fantastic! Hubby and I have visited breweries all over the country. We walked into a homey, unpretentious atmosphere with kind patrons and a welcoming experience as first-timers. Brianna is not only a fantastic bartender, but, adds to the overall charm of your local neighborhood spot! Most places you visit today show you a QR code for a menu and don’t offer suggestions; the occupied barstools are just another patron. Not here!! Getting to know us by name along with offering food selections paired with their brews sets this place apart from the rest. The local neighbors welcomed us with friendly and genuine banter! We stayed for hours and loved every minute. The two of us legitimately felt like the locals and wish we were in town longer. Definitely first on the list when we head up that way again!! The owners weren’t there at this visit, but, wanted to ensure they knew how much we loved our time there. Make sure to give Bri huge kudos and tell Thee Sandra she is awesome and hello to the rest of the gang from Terri & Robert!

The food was amazing. And the atmosphere was pretty cool live Irish string instruments playing. Also the margaritas were amazing. I recommend this place to everyone. Go there free shots to new faces.

We intended to stop for just one beer to check out one of the few breweries in town we haven’t been to. We ended up staying for multiple beers, trying every brew on the menu, and ordering some food to boot.
Very friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Super cool for a true “corner bar” to make their own beer. The styles on tap were incredibly unique - everything we tried was good, and half of what we tried was really great. The fries boast to be the “best in West Allis”… admittedly I haven’t tried too many places in the neighborhood but I can say for sure they are the best *I* have had.
The bartender realized it was our first time and gave us some free shots and stickers. Before we left I won my first pull tab in my life. Good vibes and a good time overall - we will be back.

Really nice spot run by some people that care! Hard to come by these days its seems. I had to try the smash burger and it was solid. Did a single and was satisfying. My companions had the BLT with some adders and devoured them! Felt like people that care and aren't looking to sell out to the first entity that presents themselves. Refreshing, like the suds and duds.
Had a blast here the other night. Met some old coworkers and left with new friends. Bartender Bri remembers everyone’s name. Beer is tasty and food is delicious. Had the poutine and a smash burger.
Highly recommend. I’ll be back.
