From the outside it is so bland and you are truly unsure if you are walking into an abandoned building or a crappy towny bar. Once you enter, it may take your eyes a moment to adjust if you are coming in from a bright sunny day. Foundation Bar has super low lighting, very moody. There is ample seating and a few different seating options; bar stools, booths, high top tables. Seat yourself. To order drinks you walk up to the bar. There is not table service. The decorations here are great! There are some really incredible pieces and collections! Some I would love to have if I could find them. This is a very laid back atmosphere, very chill not loud or overbearing so relax and enjoy the ambiance. I believe my drink was called El Diablo and was very good. My boyfriend chose a Zombie which is always strong! He preferred my drink!

Most recently, we went to the bar and asked for a glass of water and were told we had to wait until our drinks came. Which took quite a while (there were 6 of us, but we were there early on a Tuesday evening and waited probably 20 minutes for drinks. And water). Definitely recommend going but bring your own water bottle and expect a bit of a wait.

With some of the best (and…read morestrongest) cocktails around, I will forever recommend this bar to anyone looking for bar recs in Milwaukee. During the summer, the windows are gone, allowing for fresh air and more room to move around both inside and outside the bar. It is always packed, but the bartenders are great at getting to everyone in a timely manner. We had their famous bloody mary, which comes with salmon jerky, shrimp, and of course a full lobster tail! Definitely a drink I will come back for. They also have your classic beach drinks too, including margaritas, pina coladas, and daiquiris. If you are looking for food, they serve food fresh from St Paul's Fish Market!

The drinks were relatively quick and delicious! The outside patio and inside are much different. We went inside due to rain for our second drink. The inside is dark and moody.

Plus, a 1:30 pm brunch reservation is definitely my kind of brunch. The atmosphere inside is awesome, with old school TVs with built in VCRs lining the walls. Our server was very attentive and super helpful in showing us the new menu. He even promised satisfaction with our Hawaiian roll cinnamon bun or he would get us something different, which was so nice of him! We came specifically to try the Dad's 2 cents Weekend Brunch. That is right, 2 cents! What a deal for a can of Spotted Cow. Just a heads up for anyone going, don't forget that you have to buy an entree to qualify for the beer special! As for the rest of our order, my wife got the Salted Caramel shake. She said it was a little too sweet with loads of whip cream, but she really liked the Hawaiian roll cinnamon buns. We split the Fried Chicken & Old Fashioned Gravy Buns. It was good, not amazing, but the vibes and the drink specials totally make up for it. Someone else in our family got the brunch burger and it looked amazing! Bottom line: come for the atmosphere and drink specials, not necessarily the food, but we still enjoyed it lots. Next time I am definitely going to try a smasher, maybe on a 99 cents Wednesday smashburger special!

They do the coolest thing I think for a anniversary party. They had three different bars with three different menus represented.

They also have Dooby dogs outback which has some of the best fries with cheese sauce you'll have in the area. It's a small bar and they have a small enclosed patio. They also have I think two or three dollar Hamms.

We also ordered some of the Prince Edward Island mussels that are steamed in garlic, butter, and white wine.

The velvety Milwaukee chowder was top notch with a superb blend of flavors. On top of that, the crab cakes (with a real emphasis on the crab meat, not fillers and spices) were fantastic with and without the yummy sauce they came with! For dinner, I had the blackened grouper special that was seasoned and cooked better than any I've had before! The Key Lime pie was one of the best in Milwaukee, and the bread pudding was huge with a week executed caramel drizzle that didn't overpower it or make it rediculous gross like so many places that try too hard to impress diners. I'm definitely coming back and working my way through the menu! The staff was great, empty dishes didn't sit around too long, drinks were refilled promptly without having to get their attention, and it never felt too invasive or annoying. The place has two big parking lots, a cool outdoor dining area, and a bunch of access to river docks where they apparently rent kayaks and other water toys. Looks like they have a nice sized sandy area for volleyball too! Can't wait to see it when it's warmer out! I was enjoying the good conversation with the friendly people I was seated next to, at the bar, and into the baseball game, on one of their many tv's, that i forgot to take my usual pictures of the food! All I got was a really fun and cool sculpture out front! I'll get food pictures when I go back!
