They have an AMAZING back patio which is just a wonderful spot during the long winters of Wisconsin. Highly recommend checking that out. I was honestly quite surprised by how large of an area as well as by the unique decor. I don't believe they serve food. Or I haven't seen a food menu or anything brought out. But there are so many restaurants nearby to order from or swing by. All in all a standout neighborhood bar on the East Side!

Tucked back in a residential neighborhood, Champion's Pub is an unassuming watering for locals. Spacious back patio, dog-friendly, great bartenders, and a nice divey ambiance.

Service and atmosphere were fantastic!…read more Popped in here over the holidays for the first time. The bartender was incredibly welcoming and warm and gave us his full attention even though there were plenty of other people already at the bar. As a first timer, that really made me want to return. The atmosphere was so cozy. The lighting and temperature were warm and the music was at a good level - not too loud, not too quiet. Though they don't have a pool table - which is what we were after - they have plenty of board games. We had a beer each and played several rounds of Shut the Box. Thanks for the great service! We will definitely be returning with friends.

As soon as I walked into Foggy Dew I felt comfortable. There was something different about this…read morebar, although the clientele looked typically Milwaukee South Side. They were polite, kind and welcoming. The guy sitting next to me gave up his seat for my friend. I bought him a drink to thank him, but he didn't acknowledge it, probably embarrassed. That's typical of Foggy Dew. Nick was our bartender, and he was friendly and answered my barrage of questions. Foggy Dew will be a destination bar for me. The decor was unique, but the differences were subtle. I loved the fact the Dew was in a residential neighborhood. That added to its panache. It was a cool bar. I liked it. I think you will too.

I just love a dive bar that's clean with a good pour. Went there for my first time and I was…read moreshocked at how reasonable the prices are and how clean it is. There is a hot pick toilet seat in the ladies room which is a nod to the eclectic vibe. They have some days where they serve hot dogs but mostly there is no food. However there are some really good restaurants within walking distance where you can grab to go and bring it back to the bar. There are tons of regulars that invited us in with open arms. Many corner bars can be so clicky but this one is not. I'll definitely grab a pizza at Papa Luigi's and snag a refreshing drink there with the friendly bartenders.

But sometimes small makes it cozy and with all the holiday decor, it sure was. On a Monday night it wasn't busy at all, aside from us, only 2-4 people were there throughout the time we stayed. I imagine it get's more busy during games and weekends. I don't remember our bartender's name but she was very nice and checked back with us often. They don't have tap beer or food, except for hot dogs (not cooking while we were there) and chips, etc. Everything is pretty cheap so that's a bonus! As I looked around I saw random funny decor and the bathroom has a pink toilet seat! We had a nice time and I'd go there again!

A nice spot for drinks, and a solid bloody mary. Not a lot of varied beer options though…read more Unfortunately dogs are allowed inside, which I wouldn't expect in a place with a kitchen. The bartender was very nice though and they had live music on the patio. I didn't eat because of the dog being inside, if it wasn't for that, this place has a lot of potential to be somewhere I'd go on repeat. Unfortunately allergies will prevent that for me.

Staff very welcoming. Great place to watch sporting events, especially packers games…read more Dog friendly, as long as on the leash, and great patio! Drinks are also great, best Bloody Mary I have ever had (make sure to get it spicy) and good espresso martinis. To top it all off, they have a rumpleminze machine iced! GOAT!!

There's also a bar across from the patio. You keep walking through Jo cats to the last room in the back with a bar in the middle and another patio! These patios are pretty roomy too. Great places for a fresh breath of air or a smoke break. I've never had a bad time with the bartenders or bouncers. Drinks are solid and do the job. The music is typical bar music. You can definitely wait to hear a song you like. The atmosphere just isnt for me. It can be packed in Jo Cats and it still looks boring. We walked through the entire bar. Not a single song pulled us to the dance floor. I try to only come when there's no cover so I dont feel salty about wanting to leave.

On one of our visits the guy behind the bar was so loud and basically stood back there and drank lite the whole time. Then a local (I'm assuming) said something to the bartender and he shouted back "F**k you old man"! I asked someone at the bar does the owner know that his employee uses that kind of language? Much to my surprise he told me that the bartender is the owner! Are you kidding me? If you are visiting from out of town or new to town there are a lot better places to go that they don't use that kind of language. Not that I'm a prude or anything because I've used that language...I guess it's more shocking to hear it when you have people in your bar you've never seen. I was going to give it one star but decided I'd give it two because we just moved here and some friends of mine were in town and I thought I'd give them a second chance. We were met by a very nice bartender named Cassie. She was attentive and probably knew as an EMPLOYEE not to talk that way. Anytime someone came in she greeted them. The kicker here? The "owner" was sitting on the other side of the bar playing dice and still using that language and of course drinking miller lite. We'll go when she is working and/or their daytime bartender Ray. He knows a lot about sports and had a great conversation with my husband.
