Look, this is the truth. You will never have better wings than the wings they make at Club Garibaldi. You'll be minding your own business, relaxing at this fantastic joint. Having a cold beer, watching a game, getting banging service... and you'll watch them make you wings. You'll think "man that's a lot of work for wings" then you'll eat them... and angels will sing. read more

Club Garibaldi is one of my favorite local spots in Milwaukee. Their wings are excellent, the beer selection is solid and the service is always amazing!! What really sets them apart is how involved they are in the community like supporting softball leagues, bowling leagues and other local events. A true neighborhood staple Just here to share their most recent updated menu. read more

Website says kitchen open til 11:00pm m-th, but kitchen was closed at 10:20 on a Wednesday.

My review from 7 years ago still holds true. Great wings here, and yes I think they are spicy though most people would disagree with me on that. Their bleu cheese is delicious. Wing night is Wednesday, $1/wing. With the popularity of wing night, expect a bit of a wait. Three beers of the month, 6 wings, $21 not including tip. read more

A fantastic local spot. Great service, great food and great prices. Who can beat that?

I can't believe I haven't written a review for Club Garibaldi yet. How embarrassing! It's one of my favorite local bars!! Come here to see some of my favorite bartenders around, and friendly customers as well. They keep the drinks flowing and the atmosphere fun. The food is great with specials throughout the week. Think simple, but delicious. Tuesday burger slider special, Wednesday wings, and Thursday BBQ and Korean pork sliders. Ya can't go wrong! This place is also great for watching games. There is a large back room with a huge projector. On Sundays, there's also a beer and wing special! Wings are amazing here! It's casual, fun, and lively with a neighborhood feel. Also offering comedy shows, and music on certain nights! Cheers to Garibaldi! read more

Best kind of dive! Solid food, the ocasional live concert and a friendly, welcoming bar staff make this a gem of a watering hole. The wings are legendary and some of the best in the city. Only prepared one way, but grilled to perfection . Wednesday and Sundays nights are their wing special so be prepared to wait, it's very busy and they fry them up in a small kitchen at the end of the bar. They have a unique taste and a nice kick. They have food specials every day and Tuesdays they have these massive beef sliders for $3 a piece. Juicy and flavorful, highly recommend! Club Garibaldi is also a concert venue and they book some great local and national acts. Great sound in an intimate space. Note: The grill closes early on Friday/Saturday show nights at 8 pm. Great Bay View dive with some solid bar food and shows. read more

Great local bar! The owner is fantastic, good bar food, great music, everything you need on tap.

Arguably the best wings in the city. Great service. Friendly people, they always have food specials

Service was terrible.. I sat at the bar for 30 minutes, the bartender would not serve me he looked right at me but would continue to serve anybody new that walked up or was already there. I even spoke up and said excuse me very loud he ignored me and kept serving others.. He even checked up on others that was sitting next to me but wouldn't speak to me.. It was extremely intentional, I was the only black person at the bar IDK if that had anything to do with it or not but he intentionally refused to serve me or assist me. The bartender name is Julio (according to another bartender that was working) It doesn't feel well leaving this review but I really do hope management see's this and asks questions. Looking forward to sending other black men & women here to raise awareness and encouraging them to leave reviews as well. read more

My wife and I were trying to go to the Palomino Bar and Grill across the street. However, due to TripAdvisor not having the post Covid hours up to date, that place was closed. We decided to try Club Garabaldi and it was the most unfriendly experience we have had in a long time. We felt like we were intruders and were not welcome. The bartender was rude and did not allow us to sit in the band area where they were doing soundtracks even though the band said it was OK that we sat there. My wife ordered the mushroom Swiss burger. However, when it came out it had cheddar cheese on it. Bartender brought us a cold piece of Swiss and mushrooms on the side. I ordered a special of the day, which was the "Wild Bill", described to be a crispy chicken patty with "buffalo wing sauce" and bacon. The chicken patty was so small and rectangular and burnt that I thought it was a frozen fish patty. I pointed this out to the bartender/server for thinking that we got someone else's order. She indicated that the cook was new and it was his first day. She insisted that we do not serve fish in this bar and that it was a chicken patty. I explained to her that there was no "wing sauce" on it like it said in the description and she indicated the wing sauce was fried into the patty. She then very rudely went to the back and got me a side of wing sauce, which I told her I did not want. I should point out that this "wing sauce" was like a sweet and extremely salty barbecue flavored marinade and did not have the consistency or the taste of a sauce at all. Not edible. If it wasn't for the fact that my wife and I were so hungry, I would have sent everything back. However we ate it and it was one of the worst experiences we have had with our food and service in a long time. The bartender/server did attempt to make it right when I paid the bill at the bar stating she took two dollars off for the mushroom Swiss burger. At this point, I could observe behind the bar immediately to my right, where the new cook was frying the food. The fryer vats were visible to me and I could see the fryer oil was black and looked like it had not been changed in months. That would explain the gross burnt crust on my chicken patty. For me, it was too little too late and what she took off in the two dollars is what she got back in a tip. I would not recommend this place to anyone, and will never be back even though the band sounded like they might be pretty good, and we were considering coming back while we sat there and listened to them sound check prior to being told to leave that room. I wish I had taken the photos of our food dishes for this review. I was not expecting to write this review, but after this experience I felt it was necessary to warn people that might be considering going here. read more

Tl:dr this place has the best wings in Milwaukee. I know, I know! People are very aggressive about the wings in this town. I also know that me finally taking a stand and pledging me allegiance to one place for wings is a controversial move during this election season, but it's time. GARIBALDI'S HAS THE BEST DAMN WINGS AROUND. You can order them in increments of 6, yes you can order them with ranch or blue cheese (LOTS of ranch for me) and yes they come with some dumb celery sticks I don't care about. But they come one way, house-made Garibaldi's style and they're amazing. Do not ask them for your wings any other way, they know better than you. Perfectly grilled with little hints of char with a hot sauce that's the flavorful, but not too hot. The wings almost fall off the bone, that's how tender the meat is. Yeah they got other stuff and yeah I'm guessing it's also pretty good, but WHY?! WHY WOULD YOU GET ANYTHING ELSE WHEN THE BEST WINGS ARE HERE?! With football season in full swing, call ahead, get your order in for delicious takeout and thank me later. read more

I stopped here for lunch to use up another bookmark and to try the wings that people are saying are so good. The place is a small neighborhood bar and restaurant with a small bar and a few tables with a small kitchen. The woman working the bar was super friendly and made me feel comfortable but it was 10 minutes after opening and only other customer was in the place. They have a nice amount of taps to choose from so I had a city lights brew with my wings. Some people say that they have the best wings in town so I asked the bar tender what she thought and she said that she is a vegan and has never had them so I ordered them anyway. I don't know if I have ever had a vegan cook my meat for me but it made me think about it. I could see that my wings were cooking on a char grill so that is cool. The wings only come in one flavor which is the house flavor that came with celery and blue cheese sauce. The wings looked pretty good with nice grill marks and average size so not jumbo but not tiny. The wings were moist and tasty and not super messy. The house sauce is something I would never order if it was a flavor on a list from another place judging by the description the bar tender told me. The sauce is best described as hot wing sauce crashing into sweet bbq which was oddly satisfying with some heat. Ok the wings are pretty good with the house sauce I will give them but they didn't topple my favorite wings. This was a nice spot for a leisurely lunch and a beer. read more

This is a quintessential neighborhood bar. A place where everybody knows your name, right? It sure felt that way. Sitting at the end of the bar, I watched local after local enter the bar to a minor celebration. Fellow regulars shouted out the person's first name and followed up with a friendly handshake or a pat on the back. Soon, he or she was holding a cold one and catching up on the recent happenings. It's not a fancy place, but it does well at what it does. Beers and basic adult beverages are served nice and cold. A limited menu of your favorite bar recipes is available if you're hungry. Service is friendly and happy to offer suggestions. read more

A family member was performing so I came to support and wasn't aware of the must be 21! I am 20 was stop by the bar asking for my id which I told him I forgot at home and that I just got off work and that I had a picture of the front and back of my ID and if it was okay just for us to watch our family member play and then leave he went on yelling at me about not having my physical ID and making a big deal outta something so little as in just saying " sorry we have a must be 21 rule we can't let you in" but I don't know if its because I am black young lady that he thought it was okay to yell and talk to me like I'm uneducated about not having my ID on me or slow the music was not that loud because we wasn't yelling and he heard everything we said highly unnecessary read more

Chill spot in a low key area, good music most nights ,cheap drinks, and nice bartenders!

I went on a 75 cent wing Wednesday after my friend told me it was the best wings in town. I would have to DISAGREE. I mean they had a Buffalo tangy flavor with no true spice while too grilled after being fried. Additionally, the wings were as small as it gets. Just look at the 12 wings for 9$ in my pic. Overall, wouldn't go back just because the wings are small and wing flavor is not savory or spicy for my liking. read more

These are uniquely delicious wings. Grilled as opposed to fried, but fall off the bone texture with a char. Something special with the brine and rub. Haven't had them in a while and was very surprised to find them even better today. read more

It was fine and fairly priced. Nothing to write home about though. Just a dive with reasonably priced bar food. Not the place to go to have your mind blown though. Pinball machines were cool. I just stopped in to get some curds and wings while waiting for the show to start at the Cactus Club. I strongly disagree with the people who think the wings were anywhere near the best in the city. They were passable. I think I personally prefer most fast food wings. I also felt it was strangely loud inside, like the volume inside the bar didn't really make sense to me. read more

This was my first time getting food from Club Garibaldi's. I got everything to go so that I could go home and eat in my stretchy pants whilst watching episode #735 of House Hunters. I ordered a lemonade while I waited for my food. The customer service was great. P.S. Be nice to the bartender, they're also the cook. At least tonight they were. You know that Iron Chef, the bald white guy from Cleveland with the noteworthy laugh? The bartender is totally his doppelganger. Although, I haven't heard his laugh. Maybe he's in witness protection in Milwaukee. Well damn, I really screwed that one up. Ooops. The Monday night taco special is highly recommended and the wings are even more highly recommended. Woah! This is good food! I love good bar food! The tacos are grilled flour tortillas, ground beef, beans, lettuce, onion, tomatoes, cheese, salsa, sour cream. I'm usually a corn tortilla, onion and cilantro sort of person but I enjoyed this just as much. Really, really good fries. Okay. These wings. These gd wings. Wow. Just wow. And fresh, crisp celery. Honey, I even ate all of the celery. You know over there on the east side right next to the Pick-N-Save where they have some really good wings? Yeah. You know. These are equally as good if not even better. A very similar preparation. Ladies and gents, these are the best wings in Milwaukee. Seriously. Yumm. read more

Why would I dole out 5 stars for a dive bar you say, because i was treated like family from the minute I came in. I have been by Garibaldi more times than I can count. Never have I been in. This night though was different. It was election night and there was a static in the air that could be felt around Milwaukee especially Bay View as a whole. Garibaldi wasn't packed and wasn't overly busy or maybe because the place has the giant hall in the back people were just comfortably spread out. Either way it was the perfect space to watch who would be crowned the next POTUS. The spread of complimentary food they put out was magnificent and I did several shots and enjoyed several drinks with many of the patrons and possibly the owner. Although the night didn't turn exactly as planned Garibaldi has a special place in my heart for spots to go now. The food and the company I enjoyed made it a good night, one that I will never forget. They turned the music off and played the election results loud and on great flat-screens which all were able to see. Good stuff guys! read more

If you are looking for amazing wings Club G is the spot. With the amazing craft beer menu and the special beer of the week you can go wrong with a nice batch of wings and cheese curds. On Wednesday from 2pm-10Pm the grill stays opens and the wings and rolling. With the updated price of $.65 a wing you can go wrong with the unique flavor on the wings. The wings are Fried first and then put on the grill for the char marks. The cheese curds are also amazing the breading is light and the cheese is cheesy! The staff is also amazing and nice, I will always come back! read more

This batch of wings has too much sauce and some of them were a little cold. They have a little more spice than points east. Honestly I have been here before and had a better experience. The sauce had a little too much vinegar, and honestly 4 out of 12 wings were ice cold. The wings are not crispy and honestly a little limp. The napkins they brought to the table were covered in sauce. The jalapeño cheese curds had more of a flavoring than actual jalapeño. I recommend the normal ones. Price point for these is very high. I'm more inclined to go somewhere else! Or reheat my wings... read more

I had their wings for the very first time and they were fall off the bone tender. The seasoning was excellent, I'd definitely go back JUST for the wings but the owner was very friendly and grateful to have patrons visiting. Lots of delicious beer on tap. The other food is also spot on like the broccoli cheddar bites and the loaded tater tots. Thanks for being open! We'll be back soon! read more

First time reviewing Club G but have dined there multiple times. A no frills dive bar with a small grill at the end of the bar. If you go during peak times expect to wait for wings. Wings are similar to Points East with the deep fry and then finish on the grill. I enjoy the flavor on Club G's wings over Points as there is a bit more heat to their wings but still a medium level of spice. The only side I have had here are the seasoned fries which are solid to go with the wings. Sunday is the best day to go with the pitcher special with wings. Definitely recommend for a Milwaukee wing eater. read more

I have nothing positive to say about this place. We had a horrible experience waiting for wings during a previous visit. I understand they don't have a large grill and the possibility of a long wait time is posted, but we had to cancel our order and leave after waiting two hours and still had five orders in front of ours. We gave it a second chance, only to be shunned by an extremely rude bartender. This visit was about six months ago. We just went to try it again, and basically if you're not one of the regulars, don't expect good service from the bar staff. We ordered wings again, only this time they weren't even worth the "special" price. Never in my life have I been served wings as small as what we received. Can not recommend this place whatsoever. read more

Club Garibaldi has grown on me a lot since moving to the neighborhood. It's a great place to watch a game (or election night), cheap food and drinks, and live music. Club Garibaldi turned into our 2017 Packer Playoff headquarters when our usual spot a couple blocks away became so crowded it was impossible to get a seat. This place did not let us down since they have a perfect set up for the games. High quality big screen monitor on the wall in a spacious room and a busy bar with very quick bartenders. The food is good and they have nightly specials. Club Garibaldi is known for their wings. They're not your typical fried wings. These babies are grilled and have a unique smoky flavor. Burger and fries are also good. But really, we come for the drinks, games, live shows, and overall scene. read more

Wings wings and more wings! I can't say it more. If you go Wednesday prepare to wait as we often find it about an 1 1/2 wait. My boyfriend generally hates boned in wings and he begs me every week to go now and generally I'm not a huge dry rub fan but man oh man they are an exception! They have a great back area that is nice and big and they often have some good shows go through here with a nice stage. We still can't get over the Mr Deagun Jones album release show. Amazing! Sometimes I feel like on busy nights they should have more bartenders on hand because we felt forgotten about a few times but it happens! They are a great establishment here in the bay view area! read more

My friends and I have been doing a wing circuit for the past year. I had heard the wings at Club Garibaldi were one of the best wings in town. Maybe that was the case several years ago and were quite disappointed. Club Garibaldi has that townie bar feel. We walked in and it felt like everyone stopped their conversation and stared at us. If you are not a regular it is hard to get served at the bar and heaven forbid if you do not know how the ordering works. This alone made us very uncomfortable and would make me not want to come back. The bartenders were rude since we did not realize the menu was on a chalkboard behind us, they do not have menus. But we were here for the wings. It took almost an hour to get our wings, which is not unusual. Once we got the wings, we dug right in. The wings were super tiny, smaller than BW3. They tasted ok but there are much better places out there for wings. I had a burger that was super dry and lacked flavor. I would not go back, there are so many other places out there that have better wings and service. read more

Visited Club Garibaldi on stop 3 on my #Birdy30 wing tour. I absolutely loved the wings. I'm a mild wing kinda girl...But, I still want a little flavor and a tiny bit of kick is good for a person. These hit the spot. Crispy, grilled, seasoned, huge. I love. Haven't been to a show here in quite a while so I'll refrain from reviewing this spot as a venue. I will say that the spacious back room is perfect for waiting it out on your wings, much like other high quality, small grill establishments-You're gonna wait an hour. But, here you'll be comfortable and surrounded with the most interesting array of people...I think these sorts of places, where you see the hipster and the old Milwaukeean, the college kid and the retired city worker, side by side enjoying a local brew, are what I truly love about Milwaukee. It's who we are as a city (Man, that was deep). read more

So I have been looking for new places in the Milwaukee area for decent wings. I did the usual Google search, read reviews on Yelp and also Reddit and this place was mentioned quite a bit as having great wings. It was compared to Points East Pub a lot and I believing Points East has some of the best wings I thought I would try this place. I went on a Tuesday night around 7:00 PM. The bartender was quick to get me a beer and take my order. I got the 5 piece wings for around $7, not a bad price I thought. I was considering the 10 piece but boy am I glad I went with the smaller portion. When the wings were brought out I was less than impressed by their size. Some of the smallest I have seen in a while. The smell well I could smell them from their place on the bar and was not impressed with that either. I decided to take a bite, instant regret. The wings were probably the worst I have ever had. They were soggy and I have no impression they were at all "grilled". Whoever came up with their sauce should be in jail. It had no sense of meaning and was way over powering. The meat slipped off the bone as if it had been sitting in a bath waiting to be heated up and served. I have seriously had better tasting wings from the frozen section of the grocery store. I couldn't even finish the wings I had due to their mushy consistency and terrible sauce. I wish I could comment on their ranch and blue cheese sauces but their wing sauce was so overpowering I couldn't taste either sauce, no matter how much I dipped them. I couldn't wait to get home to wash my hands of the terrible sauce smell. I will never visit this place again for food. read more

Club G's is a dive bar that usually has live music on weekends (and sometimes weekdays). I'll usually go there if I want to go somewhere to watch a sporting event; I wouldn't call it a sports bar, but the three big screen TVs behind the bar are enough for a casual viewing. The bartenders are generally friendly and are pretty generous with taking a drink or two off your tab if you stick around for any amount of time. I recently visited for the Sunday wings and a beer special. This place is highly touted for their wings; no choices, just one fairly spicy dry-rub style. I'm still just not getting it. They're just okay...maybe ranging into pretty good at their best. This time was no excetion. I ordered 6, they were pretty small and just super dry and salty. They do make you want to drink more beer, which is likely the idea. Regardless, I've had other food there that's solid. I used to go every Monday for the taco special. Also good pork sliders and other sandwiches. It really is an all-around great place to hang out...I'm just not a huge fan of the wings. read more

Just such an old school winner, what's not to like. Punk muzak in the back gig room, friendly folks on a Friday night in the bar room, and plenty of cheer made for a nice WMSE event.

Next time its wings and cocktails but any reason is a good reason to grab a seat at this local gem! read more
