How can you not love (or at least vaguely enjoy) this fun and oddball bar in Bayview. But who…read moredoesn't love an oddball? I love Blackbird's wild and eclectic decor. I feel very much at home because we share very similar tastes in home decor. It feels very cozy as soon as I enter this bars. I believe we had two wonderful bartenders who took our order and quickly brought back out drinks. Great service, dimly but warmly lit (which I love to help me avoid migraine triggers), lots of conversation and chattering going on around us. Also, PINBALL! My partner and I spent a decent chunk of change having all the fun. You should really go. And experience it all!

What a great neighborhood place! We stopped here at the end of our night for one more drink and…read moreloved the vibe and wall to wall decor. They had a great selection of beers and we got a big booth right when we walked in. There's music but not too loud to have a conversation. Worth a visit for sure!

Stopped in for a cocktail before dinner at Maxie's. I assume the place has been there for a long…read moretime it has the old town neighborhood bar feel with a bunch of regulars at the bar. Plenty of tvs to watch sports. Plenty of machines that I assume you can gamble on and plenty of beer. Service was at the bar and was fine since it wasn't crowded. Stop by and have a beer before dinner.

I stopped over looking to get a Gin Rickey and relax a bit before heading home. The place is a…read moreneighborhood bar with regulars that gossip about other regulars I noticed. The place had all street parking taken but as I drove around the block I found that they have parking in the rear. The bar tender was friendly with everyone and talked to the regulars. I can't tell if they have any food and I didn't notice a pizza oven but they have chips and candy. I hate to complain about service but the bar tender couldn't even make a Gin Rickey after I told him how to make one, the bar has no lime juice which amazes me because it's only happened a few times to me. This is a dive bar for sure but to not have lime juice is ridiculous.

We stopped at Malone's on a Sunday Funday afternoon and liked it very well. Inside, there's a…read morestandard bar setup with surprisingly clean bathrooms. No food (I think) but you're here for well poured drinks and a fine 2 for $5 special (a macro brew and a shot of Irish whiskey). It was quiet inside as we were there on a Sunday afternoon, but the bartender was cool and friendly. They even had a reasonably drinkable wine which was both unexpected and welcome. Two thumbs up.

It's an odd shotgun style bar on Brady street with a vibrant and vocal contingency of regulars…read more It's a nice spot to catch games since it's not as crowded as Club Brady or The Nomad. Bartenders are hit and miss, as with any Brady Street establishment. Some are great and friendly, others ignore you unless they know you. The crowd can get quite boisterous and cross some lines that might cause discomfort (i.e. some regulars can get handsy or pop off with off-color statements, not jokes, statements). Drinks are on par pricewise, but they have an eclectic selection of tappers (although like most of Brady, Third Space has a strong presence). All that being said, I don't mind Malone's.

I stopped here after driving down this street for 12 years and I never noticed it until today so I…read moredid a U turn and I stopped. The place is your typical West Allis dive bar with a pool table etc. The bartender and the regulars were welcoming and I'm told that it has been around for about 12 years so how have I missed it. My service was great from the woman working the bar. They couldn't even make a proper Gin Rickey because they had no lime juice and I got the last lime wedge and now we are out of limes. It still amazes me that a bar doesn't lime juice or limes.

I don't feel right getting the FTR when I don't have a photo to add to the page…read more Shamrox is a nice corner bar with cheap drinks. It is one of those places where everyone is a regular and knows each other. So, when you walk expect to get the "once over" from the locals. They have a pool table, enclosed smoking patio (with no ventilation), a few gaming machines and the coolest hand dryers in the bathroom! (You are just going to have to go and see for your self!) Nice enough place to stop in when you are just looking to hang out and drink for cheap!

We're frequent visitors and…read moreabsolutely love spending time on the patio to enjoy an ice cold beer or one of their delicious cocktails. They have local beers and my personal favorite cocktails are the Little Prince and the Dirty Sprite. It's perfect for your first drink or to end the night at (especially with an apple pie shot or two). I really cannot recommend it enough! The best part about Finks, though, is the staff. They always recognize us and make sure we feel super welcome, which is much appreciated! That kind of hospitality makes us always want to go back

There was no menu that I saw, but we ordered 2 old fashioned with bourbon, sweet. The inside looks recently renovated - industrial/metal concrete vibes?, There's pool table, a few TV screens, and high top tables with heavy, counter height bar stools tucked along the windows. It was dark when we visited, but I'd imagine there's a great view of the river during the day. Everything was clean, and I appreciated that the tables/floors weren't sticky or gross. The drinks were just right. We were on a tight schedule to get to another reservation, or I would have liked to hang out a little longer - the bartender was quick to close out or tab. Overall, cool vibe, good drink, fair price. The only downside was parking, but that's a given for anywhere downtown.
