Great place to go before a Bucks game! I enjoyed the Brandy slush and all of the Wisconsin decor and merchandise available.
Looks fun. Unfortunately I can't give the best review as we visited very early on. Thursday afternoon. Staff was very friendly and definitely a good ol' Wisco vibe. Lots of drink selections and different things to do for entertainment. If you're attending an event at Turner Hall, this place is right across the street so you can stalk your favorite preformer before your show!
(From September 2021) Been here twice, once on a Friday and on NFL Sunday week 1. Fridays atmosphere was darker more swingier although it wasn't that packed. That allowed me to try their brandy ol fashion which was served quickly. It was a strong one that snuck up on me but gave me something to sip as I walked around the area. The atmosphere is much better on Sunday especially for football. There's raffles and more diverse groups of people in attendance making for a better experience. Obviously it's a packers crowd so you will stand out if you're not wearing a pack jersey. Chatted up some fans who were bummmed about losing to the Saints but kept it friendly. Better than interacting with cowboys or eagles fans after a loss.
Great place to watch a game, brandy slush is yum as always. The place was filled before a Marquette game and they had one server - turns out they had a last minute call in and the manager was trying his best to run the place. Got a full beer chaser w out bloodys :) so no complaints
It really enjoyed my first trip to this bar. The bartender was super friendly and personable. They have a great happy hour on weekdays and weekends: $5 drafts, $7 brandy slushy (highly recommend), and more. It's so ridiculously close to Fiserv Forum that I imagine it's packed during non-Covid games. They have an excellent Bloody Mary mix and did I mention the brandy shush? A fun space with great explorers. Good drinks. Kind people. What more could you ask for during a drinking excursion??
My partner and I were lured in on our walk home from dinner by a sign outfront that was advertising Old Fashioneds and slushies to go. Naturally, we stopped in and got a drink for our walk back to the hotel. The bubbler that filled our drinks was super cool. It was a good, strong pour, and I love the fact that it came topped with a cheese curd. While we didn't stay for long, I'd definitely come back again to sit at the bar and try other drinks.
I follow the motto drink Wisconsinbly everywhere I go. So it was a must that I check out the restaurant slash bar with this name. And what better night to do this then Friday night. Tons of local beer available here. On Fridays I tend to start with mixed drinks. Old Fashions here are super great garnished with a squeaky cheese curd makes it an ideal favorite for the locals. Tried the cheese curds and also the Bavarian pretzel. Not a fan of the pretzel but the cheese curds were cheesehead approved. We sat outside on the patio and enjoyed watching the pedal taverns bike by while we waited for our food. Wait was not longer then 20 minutes for our food. Settled on two fish fries, seven layer salad, and a chicken sandwich with house-made potato chips. Fish fry was terrific nice batter well seasoned french fries crispy. Seven layer salad was top-notch and thoroughly enjoyed by the guest who ordered it. Chicken sandwich was also very good. Love the Wisconsin atmosphere here great place for appetizers, dinner, or just to catch a drink if you're in the neighborhood. Will definitely return here in the future for all of the above.
Stopped into Drink Wisconsinbly prior to a basketball game. There was one other couple seated and the bar and two staff members. My friend and I were not greeted by a staff member, although took a seat at the other bar. Later to find out, this bar would not open until later in the day. Never the less, we went and grabbed a Bloody Mary. The first bloody was served with a lemon, lime, and meat stick. The Bloody Mary mix was very good! My friend had the brandy slush which is delicious!! The bartender did change the tv for us to accommodate the game we wanted to watch. The crowd began to flood in and it became a popular pregame spot! The bar was understaffed but the manager appreciated everyone's patience. We ordered a second Bloody Mary and this one was served with celery, lemon, lime, cheese curds, and a beer. It was odd the bloody Mary's were not the same, but we thoroughly enjoyed both! We will be back for another Brady slush!
Tl:dr quirky bar for a fun night out Sort of obsessed with this bar and have only been there a handful of times. A lot of "Up North" and "your grandpa's basement" vibes, but in a cool way. Flannel, taxidermy animals that have horns (but probably shouldn't), a giant wall with all of Wisconsin's rivers and just other quirky stuff that I dig. THE OLD FASHION COMES WITH A SQUEAKY CHEESE CURD. Need I say more ??? This place knows it's Wisconsin-inspired drinks (the bartenders are super fun, getting people involved in bar dice or guessing the music tracks that are on) HINT: one is probably from "The Goofy Movie" soundtrack .... don't ask. ;) Will definitely be back, we took shelter there on a cold night, but I think it has a cool garage-door-style front that opens in summer, so I'm already looking forward to that.
Really quite enjoyed our visit here. We went on a week night the week before St. Patrick's. There were a few people in there and then a few regulars came and went. Other than that, the bar was empty. And coming from a home-body, this was heaven! I was a little disappointed to see that they took the pork belly BLT off the menu. I inquired about this to Andy, the bartender, to which he said that they change up the menu to go along with the beers that they currently have. So, I opted to get some fried cheese curds because that's the most Wisconsin thing you can do. My ex-wife and her friend shared the poutine fries, which they loved. I'm like meh about gravy on my fries, so I didn't care about it. I then opted to just get the wings, which I thought were very good. They come on a bed of fries, which is not optional. The ex got the fish fry, which I liked too. Andy whipped us up some great cocktails and shots. He's definitely a good mixologist. You want something delicious?! Ask him! He makes great things! And he's good at making Hurricanes too! The whole thing was quite pleasant and although I don't expect most nights to be like that, we'd go just to hang out with Andy! He's very down-to-earth; it made for a great experience. You can order a round of drinks for the cooks in the kitchen, which we obviously did. We love that. My wife being a chef really loved that idea too! We'll be back!
Walker's Point is rapidly becoming my go-to area in Milwaukee for finding great eats and drinks. So many amazing businesses in this area of town! And, Drink Wisconsinbly Pub is no exception. Came here for some late night eats. We bellied up to the bar and began our experience by ordering their Soul Boxer bourbon Old Fashioned (awesome). For dinner, my dining companion opted for their grilled cheese, which comes served on marble rye with a side of their house made kettle chips. Both were delicious (he let me try). The house made kettle chips were beautifully thin, salty, and crispy with a light dusting of parm. Amazing. I ordered their pork belly BLT with a side of cheesy tots. The BLT was solid. The cheesy tots were crisp and fabulous. They serve them with the beer cheese on the side for dipping (and consequently? No sogginess!). Our bartender/server was attentive and friendly throughout our meal. The atmosphere is cozy and super comfortable, offering a chill, casual kind of vibe. All in all? I'll be back. Soon. And, if you haven't yet? You should definitely... Get to it!
Had a great time bringing friends here! Super laid back and had lots of TVs with the badger games on. The waiter was nice and it felt Covid safe. They were happy to turn on whatever games we wanted which was much appreciated! Would be a super fun place to bring out of town visitors to give them an awesome Wisconsin vibe and show them the Deer District!
What a great little spot! Now, I remember (barely, lol) when this used to be Triangle. I had very fuzzy memories flooding back to those club nights as I pulled up in the Uber because I had NO IDEA that it had been converted to this neat little pub and eatery! While I waited for my friends, I ordered one of their beer + shot specials and had the most adorable server. She said "Awesome-sauce!" and all the other quaint Wisconsinisms one takes with you when you move out of state. We ordered Wisconsinachos, Fried Cheese Curds and the Turkery Burger with goat cheese to share. Everything was delicious, the brats on the nachos were a nice twist with great flavor and the atmosphere was amazing. If I could buy one of those custom lamp shades, I totally would. Really impressed and would definitely dine in again!
Drink Wisconsinbly Pub is a Milwaukee staple that everyone needs to check out at least once. The Wisconsin touches are found throughout the bar from Badgers, Bucks, Packers, Brewers, and Marquette decor. They offer several company made beverages, liquors, and other things but I especially enjoy the various ways you can get a WI Style Old Fashioned. The staff is always kind and quick. Definitely stop whenever in the deer district! read more

Drink Wisconsinbly is one of my go-to spots if I am going to a Bucks game or a show at the Fiserv. It is top tier Wisconsin - from their clever sign, to their Old Fashioned bubbler, to their "beers served counter" all and their apparel. Very big and open lots of space for the pre-show/pre-game drink as you wait. 10/10 is their Brandy OF slushy! read more

The menu has been reduced, but they kept the most popular items, I assume, and are still crushing it! Some of the best cheese curds and wings in the city are here. Seriously, I don't think these wings are getting their due. They are rubbed with a delicious seasoning blend and grilled. The end result is an order of large, juicy, crispy, and super delicious wings! I opted for the DW Burger, which is a double patty topped with caramelized onions, bacon, onion strings, and Merkt's cheddar cheese spread. I also upgraded to the cheesy tots, as a side, even though I love their shoestring fries. Great drinks and food, plus amazing retro videos of beer commercials on the TV make this place a solid go-to for any reason and any time. read more

Stopped in before a concert and had one of the best Old Fashioned's. Bartenders were great and they played the music of the performer that night at the Fiserv. Will definitely be back! read more
This quaint location is now home of a bar to coincide with your local drinking attire. Nestled on the corner of Barclay and National lies what will surely become a staple of the area bar. With not just local taps and bottles on hand but a variety of beers, a liquor bar, old fashions served from a bubbler, you can also swing in for a bite to eat. Cheese curds perhaps?! Make sure to beat the crowd as this is a smaller establishment with a few TVs and will more than likely meet all of your needs to #Drink Wisconsinbly. Give em a visit! read more
This place was a hoot. We came here after the Dodgers Brewers game and had a great time with our server Alyssa who somehow kept up great service while playing What Do You Meme with our group - awesome server! We got a few orders of cheese curds which were fantastic. A mix of two cheeses fried and breaded to perfection so when you bit in the white and orange concoction of cheese oozed out which was a beautiful sight as an out of town visitor. Cool spot and would come back next time in town. read more
Definitely recommend stopping in at Drink Wisconsinbly! It's a small space, so they get busy fast, just a heads up! They have old fashioned specials, a spotted cow and tully special for like 6 bucks, and a few more. Don't forget to grab yourself a DW sticker! The tater tots I had there last were really freaking good and served with beer cheese to dip in. It was weird a few days beforehand I was craving 7 layer salad, my mom used to make it a lot. When I saw it on the menu - YAY! I was happy to satisfy my craving. They had two sizes availble: a small side and a larger bowl. I like having those size options! Not sure how they've been doing with the shirts. I remember going in there awhile back and they had such little inventory which really perplexed me, this is a major draw and a revenue stream to have your shirts in stock? Service has usually been good, my last visit was a little "off" not sure why the server decided to close out all of her checks at the computer instead of bringing me my beer. I finally asked if she wanted me to go grab it myself (a few feet away, again the place is small) and she said she had to wait for bartender to "make" it. It was a beer. My question did at least prompt her to go and look for it and of course it was sitting there. Then when I moved to the bar after spots opened up I had to shout "excuse me" almost every time I wanted something which seemed to annoy the bartender a bit, but how else do I get served? I don't know, service lacked and especially when there was not one but two bartenders working the bar. Don't focus too much time on your pals and playing bar dice, there might be others who actually want to order stuff. Bar dice is great don't get me wrong, but again, two bartenders + small bar = good service. It wasn't terrible or anything, but that was the recent visit. read more
Had to check this place out because I have only heard good things! I went to Drink Wisconsibly Pub for a Packer game earlier this season and it was jam packed. Luckily, a group of friends and I lucked out and got a booth right in front of the TV. I had a hard cider along with the cheese curds. The cheese curds were delicious. The bar was Wisconsin themed, but in a tasteful manner. Loved it! I heard they have a great outdoor patio too. Will definitely be stopping back for a drink or two soon. read more
Hmmm. Torn between 3 and 4 stars. For drinks and Wisconsin fun its a solid four. Very good local tap selection. Decent menu too. Really enjoyed the dry rub wings. Grilled crispy. Service was good as well. Our server was slammed but didn't feel ignored. They only fell short on our chili. The chili was good but when we ordered two bowls our waitress said they only has one bowl left. No big i said, just bring one then. She brought two semi full bowls that we assumed would be charged as "one". Looked split.....nah. Full price. Not that big a deal but still not cool. Will try again and update review then. read more

Two words: brandy slush. Damn is it good. It also leaves you with a good buzz after two. Try not to drive here if you want to stay a while. The atmosphere is just what you'd expect from their online brand turned bar - everything Wisconsin. There are homages all to places all over the state including cities many of you can't pronounce. They've got their new DW Lager, too. A very expansive outdoor patio makes this a great stop on a sunny day. You're able to order pizza from their neighbors at Brick3, check out my review on them later. read more

Saw this spot on DDD. It was a MUST on the list to stop. I had a Backwards Mary. I dont normally drink beer, but selected a local craft beer. Cheese curds and brats were selected for dinner... all very yummy. Service was excellent, the place was awesome- the bathrooms didnt say mens or womens- the mens room had a photo of Chachi and the womens had Joannie- if you dont know what that means, ask your parents.. read more

Happy to say that DW didn't disappoint. The drinks: Perfection. They basically had a muddling assembly line going for all the old fashioned they were making. Any place with a Harvey Wallbanger on the menu = solid gold. The theme: Classic "ode to WI" decor without overdoing it (I love me some Camp Bar, but they realllly try to be "up north" - I'm from up north, and bars don't look like Camp - DW finds a nice balance). A nice mix of homey and trendy. The theme is carried throughout with food/drink names - and even the WIFI password is a former Packers player. The space: On the small side - but a good mix of booths, tables, high tops and bar seating. A few TVs throughout the place, but it's definitely not a "sports bar" place. They also have their own small nearby parking lot - or plenty of street parking nearby. The food: Of course I got the Fish Fry. For $13 it was three LARGE pieces of cod and a mountain of skinny fries. Also included the obligatory marble rye bread, tartar sauce (kind of runny, looked like ranch really - but I don't like tartar anyway so I didn't care) and DELICIOUS slaw. I'm a slaw snob and I basically licked the ramekin, so, it was good. The service: All the staff was delightful. The bartenders were great and were really busting tail to be prompt and helpful, even with a full house. They even drew a cartoon on my to-go box for me! Sitting at the bar, our group had a lot of fun for our Friday night happy hour / dinner. Having very recently opened, they are still very busy - so if you want to check it out, try to get there during an "off" time, or just enjoy the fun crowd. And remember, Drink Wiconsinbly! read more

Thank you Gina! We're thrilled you enjoyed your experience. See you…
Made it here on a recent visit to my hometown city. I have lived in Florida for the previous 20 years, but always try to make it back during the summer months. You really can't beat Wisconsin summers. I digress ... I got together with my former West Milwaukee High School buddies, and we decided to check this place out. In the spirit of full disclosure, we went to high school with Rich, one of the guys who helped get this bar up and running, and who is also the person behind the Drink Wisconsinably brand. We had a couple of beers here. Nice place. Good service. The bartender ladies are extremely nice, and they took good care of us. We decided to hang out at the outside tables. They have an outdoor portion that is attached to the bar, too. I would most certainly recommend giving this place a shot. It's another cool addition to the Walker's Point neighborhood. I noticed they get good traffic from the pub crawl industry, too. I haven't tried the food yet, but read good things. read more
