Love Club Brady! This is definitely a go-to spot for my fiance and I, as it is right down the street. This is for sure a neighborhood/local bar and nothing more than that. But if that is the vibe you are looking for, you have found the perfect place for you! Tony (the bartender) is awesome! He is super friendly and will know your drink order in no time! In addition, they have Touch Tunes, darts, pool and air hockey (which I love!). It looks like as of this week, they are making some renovations so I am excited to see what that will bring! The last big bonus to Club is that you can bring in your own food! At times, I will run to JJ's first and bring it in, or I will make my Hello Fresh and eat it at the bar. Either way, you can enjoy a great time there! read more

I am giving 5 stars for bartender LILY! On the evening I visited this bar it was crowded with many interesting men. Lily handled them well while also noticing the few women at the bar and checking in with us to make sure we were set. Amazing bartender!! read more

Chill dark vibe, lots of games and activities you can keep yourself entertained. The bartender usually is a bit slower than I'd like but other than that, I'd go on a slow night where you can just vibe out on your own. read more

David is absolutely the best bartender you can have. He will make your night personal and wanting to come back to enjoy a night of dancing, fun, and great conversation. I've come in here a couple times and both times he has made the entire night. read more

Club Brady - a man behind the bar - Dive Bars Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Full transparency, we only came for a couple drinks, so our experience does not in any way reflect the food. We stopped in on a 40-something pub crawl of sorts on a Friday evening. Being from out of town, we wanted the full Brady Street experience and this place was last on our list of stops. The bar is pretty big, with ample seating and tables for a Friday night, with plenty of fun games to keep people busy. The music is TouchTunes to be prepared to shell some green if you want your songs to play (get the App, it's cheaper). The drink prices are pretty reasonable and the selection is decent. Be aware, their pours are heavy, so remember they are sippers! The low start are for two reasons. First, the somewhat-attractive dark haired scantily clad bartender was good at pouring our drinks, but was better at drinking her own. She was hammered and completely consumed by the numerous games of bar dice she was continually being asked to play. Despite being called out by her handsome co-worker bartender asking her to slow down a a bit, she kept pounding them like a sailor. As expected, her service level kept getting worse and worse so we ended up just leaving. The second was the older gentleman acting as a barback behind the bar. He kept staring at my girlfriend's boobs. Like awkwardly and persistently. Even after she nicely asked him to stop, he just kept on staring and grinning. Maintaining my cool, I got the attention of the sober bartender and he was nice enough to handle the situation. I would say this is a fun place especially if you have a group. But come early or the bartenders may now be physically capable of completing your order. read more

I really don't get the draw that this place has on so many people. Though, I guess I'm not in college anymore and don't seek bars out just for a good deal. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy great drink specials - but I appreciate when they are in anything other than a dive bar. I'm pretty sure I can get $2 PBRs are multiple places, but why would I want to drink in a dark little bar just to save a little cash. I can appreciate a good round of pool, but it is useless if I can't get any room to play. I'm sure if I came in during the day or on a week night, it may be easier to get around. But there are better places to spend my time. It's good for groups - which is a common question for yelp reviews. No, you won't get your drink any quicker, but I saw tons of groups crammed in there. In fact, I only see myself coming back if the group I'm in decides to stop there. read more

Don't let people in that are over 21. Don't go here if you are from Illinois and have a real ID. They will think your ID is fake. Worst security in Wisconsin. Dumbasses. You know who you are. read more

The bouncer picked a fight with me because I "handed him my ID wrong". He then proceeded to follow me throughout the bar, eves-drop on my conversations, only spoke to my boyfriend about my apparently "insulting body language", wouldn't let any of my friends talk, threatened that he would send his girlfriend to the bar to fight me, then told the bartender to escort me out. No one heard my side of the story and they kicked all of my friends out because the bouncer is misogynistic. I am never going here again because he bullied me to the point of tears. read more

I'm pretty surprised by this place. After having been to most bra on Brady I tend to avoid all the bars on Brady. We thought we would try something new in the area so Club Brady it was. Upon walking in on a Saturday night around 10:30 I was happy to see that it wasn't a standing room only shit show. There were tables open, and even though the bar had all the seats taken, the bar tender saw us right away and served us. Once we had a drink we headed back to explore and found the game area. Ski-ball, air hockey, darts, pool I think and a little back bar too. The juke box had a few interesting plus but for the most part wasn't too bad. The crowd was pleasant and the people watching was pretty good. I'd actually like to return here now and again for some games and some drinks. I just hope that it wasn't a fluke and that this place turns into a typical Brady bar.. Time will tell. read more

Flat Riverwest Stein on tap (on a weekend night). Really?!! The first bartender checked it and then told the other guy behind the counter who didn't believe either of us. In the end they replaced it with another beer, but I'm taken back that a local beer in town was flat. read more

Judge's on North is gone you say?? Wow that bums me out. Wait... they own another bar on Brady?? Club Brady?? I'm down. And that's how it began for me.... $10 bottomless beer on Thursdays drew me in. It's not quite the quarter beers and $1 bombs that I lived on for "Thirsty Thursdays" a few years ago, but this is still a great deal. They have some great brews on tap (Bell's Two Hearted Ale, Riverwest Stein, etc.) and you can make it worth your while after only like 3 beers. Have some great beers, same a few bucks... it's a win-win to me. If you come expecting to find a dive bar, you won't be disappointed. read more

Not a fan of Club Brady. At all... I stumbled in here one night with a sense of adventure. I wanted to check out some of the dive bars along Brady St and this seemed like a great first choice. I was really unimpressed, even for a dive. Maybe it was the fact that the bartenders were too busy playing bar dice to take my drink order, or that the jukebox was blaring the entire Jock Jams 4 CD, or that the women's bathroom was flooded but I was not feelin' this place. The whole place reeked of smoke and this was 3 months after Milwaukee went smoke free. My eyes actually burned when I left. That really shouldn't still be happening. It's only redeeming factor was the air-hockey table and that was actually a ripoff to play. I like all sorts of bars and I am willing to go almost anywhere once but I don't think that I'll be going back to Club Brady anytime soon, at least until they repaint the walls. read more

Got two drinks during happy hour (3.50 each), and they charged 35 dollars to my card. Cool! Bring cash!

If you are looking for a good dive bar in the city, look no further than Club Brady. Great drink specials, air hockey, darts, some golf game, pool and a juke box. There is plenty of space if you are with a big crow and I have always been able to find a place to set my drink and coat. The bar tenders are really nice, along with the bouncers. Not to mention they have some great drink specials. ( Love it so much, I mentioned it twice. There is a night they have every once in a while where it's all you can drink for $10. Awesome.) If you like dives, you will like this place. If you don't like dives, well, I don't want you there anyway. read more

I came to Club Brady for the first time tonight. Our bartender, Val, gave us amazing service and amazing drinks. She always had a smile on her face and gave us our drinks promptly. I aspire to be as good of a bartender as she is. Give her a raise, she deserves the best!! read more

Nice space. Clean. It was absolutely dead on a Tuesday night. There's video games and other games. They serve pizza.

This, is not my jam. I feel like it should be, but it's just not. I find the crowd kinda weird, and the bartenders kinda crappy. It's average. It's average on a street where there are much better options. Maybe I haven't been in the right mood for this place. Maybe I'm not the target audience. I dunno. I like the Summerfest Shuttle in the summer, and that's about it. read more

Yes dive bar. Great place when school is out...kick ass drink specials. Fu#k yes to air hockey and pool tables. Gets waaaay to crowded on Thursdays during the cold months. read more

Bearded bartender refused to put an nba playoff game on one of the 8 TVs for April brewers game. But free popcorn that's kinda of cool I guess read more

There's a reason it's been there forever: it's the best dive in Milwaukee. The crowd is generally a good mix of regulars, college students, young professionals, drifters; everyone you'd expect to see on Brady Street. The drinks are cheap, the bartenders are friendly and there's a general "neighborhood" vibe to the entire place. I don't know what more you could want. read more
