Fat Daddy's - Bars Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

My favorite neighborhood bar! They have volleyball leagues almost year round - outdoor from April to October, 6 nights a week. A fun place to play, watch, or cheer. Their weekend tournaments are great, and they do a great job giving back to the community with charity tournaments. Friday nights in the off-season they host bingo which is always a blast! Ride the Fatmobile to Brewers or Bucks games, or even rent it for your own private party. No food other than frozen pizzas, but the ones they offer are top notch! read more

Stopped by Fat Daddys to catch some friends playing on their volleyball courts out back! Definitely a great venue for casual sports viewing, joining their league, or just grabbing drinks. The inside is small'ish but gives good dive-bar feels. They've got plenty of drink options along with pizzas and garlic breads, and everything is very reasonably priced. Michaela was a wonderful and friendly bartender accommodating everyone in the group with drinks! read more

good classic WI bar. some pizza options but largely a wide variety of beers & some specialty cocktail specials, and other specials of the day. this place gets super lively around volleyball league season. staff has always been extremely nice. some televisions to watch games too!! read more

THE BEST BARTENDERS EVER!!! Thanks for a good time Tiara and Ashley. xo your Bach gals. drinks service vibes!! read more

Fat Daddy's - a bunch of rubber toys in a machine - Bars Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

A sign of a great bartender is one who makes everyone feel welcomed, especially those patrons that are not regulars. When I came here to get a drink and a shuttle ride to the Brewer game, the bartender basically ignored me while she talked to all of her friends/regulars. I definitely felt outside the "clique" and I feel that's a terrible service. The bartender also kept telling me the shuttle was on its way but in reality it wasn't. Driver decided to take their only shuttle out to the suburbs to pick up some people and leave everyone else waiting and waiting at the bar. It was very upsetting. I won't take the shuttle from here anymore to the game and even though I'm not the biggest Stenys fan - I'd rather go there for a drink and a ride and give them the tips as they probably wouldn't pull a stunt like Fat Daddy's! read more

Fat Daddy's has a lot of character and nice volleyball courts. That's why I like it. They also carry this cider that I like but can never remember the name of. read more

This place is great, it's quant and welcoming. I have on numerous occasions seen the staff (Ashley in particular) go out of their was to help their customers, whether it be just a friendly attitude or helping make sure their customers get home safely, they always seem to go above and beyond! Definitely recommend read more

I have a good time every time I come to Fat Daddy's. I feel like I'm usually here for "special occasions" such as Hallowang (that's Halloween in April!), New Years Day - and you get to ride the Fat Daddy's Mobile to the lakefront for the polar plunge (which they sadly didn't run this past year but it may have been due to the frigid temps), and I recently stopped by randomly as I had dinner at the establishment next door. Drink prices are typical and reasonable. The sand volleyball courts look pretty awesome, though I have never been here during volleyball. Other patrons are generally pretty cool and it's far from a pretentious establishment... it's nicer than what you would think of a "dive" but it is rather divey in the best sense of the term: good drinks, good people, jukebox, not too fancy. There is a decent amount of seating - I always have been able to get a table or seats at the bar. Fingers crossed we have a mild and late - extremely late and extremely short - winter so they have the Polar Plunge shuttle and party again next year! read more

Bartender was a complete ASS. Guy with ponytail. Blatantly rolled his eyes at customers who came up to the bar wanting to cash in pull tabs or even getting drinks. Clearly should not be in customer service. Makes you not want to get a drink or feel welcomed at all. Will not be back, strictly because of him. read more

I've never hung out inside but for volleyball, this is the place to be. Happily surprised with the professionalism. It's nice to have refs! They are so friendly and engage the customers. Everyone on the league is a ton of fun! Competitive but not obnoxious. The back deck is great for watching games, finding some shade but a lovely breeze and a bucket of white claw. read more

Great for outdoor volleyball! The fun, typical indoor scene for a casual sports bar. The volleyball is a huge draw-whats more fun than playing volleyball outdoors in the middle of the city? The prices are right, the league is run well, the bartenders are friendly! read more

Volleyball is fun, bathrooms are clean, I won $5 on pull tabs. New patio hose station is great. 4 stars because the music is too loud outside, and I can't hear myself spike. read more

Bartenders were rude and vet unwelcoming. Couldn't get a smile out of them. I heard one was dating the owner. Bad business in my opinion. No reason to ever go back. read more

Fat Daddy's - Bars Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

My favorite sports bar in MKE hands down. They have a different drink special each night, and the wait staff make you feel at home with politeness to newcomers and sarcasm to the regulars. 3 sand volleyball courts for all skill levels and competent and fun refs make this a fun time for those who like bar league sports. Ownership also does plenty of outside activities- trips to breweries, game and trivia night, dart and video bowling leagues, and a great advantage- they have a bus to sporting and music events, which is also rentable for private functions. The bar has also seen an upgrade recently with new floors and walls. If you want to get your drink on at an eclectic place, go to Fat Daddy's! read more

Heck of a place to see people actually having a good time, no matter the time of year. Easy access food, good drinks and the best taps on the corner. Highly recommended- if it's not your first stop, make it your last. You won't regret it. read more

They have daily drink specials and friendly staff. It's kind of a dive but the volleyball courts are great. Stef does a great job of organizing the leagues and hosting tournaments throughout the summer. It's been a blast playing there the past few years! read more

Typical Milwaukee bar. Average priced beers, usually some pretty decent specials. Best thing about it is their sand volleyball courts. They offer leagues 4 nights a week, in all skill levels. read more

I was concerned walking in because the service was almost too overwhelmingly friendly. I think the barkeeps name was Rihanna? Or Shannon? Her friendly disposition was next level. And every sip from my cocktail was like sipping from the fountain of youth. 5/5 stars. I'd give more if I had them. read more

Everyone from the owner, bartenders and patrons, are all the nicest. This is like your Cheers bar where everyone knows your name. Not too mention play some fun sand volleyball. If you don't want to play Volleyball and it is out of season you either play regular bar dice or Fat Daddy's bar dice, which is a interesting twist. Either you, you can get pretty drunk doing shots or buying cheap beer. I have been becoming back for about a year now. What makes it ever better the beer and drink prices won't break you bank. read more

Milwaukee at it's finest. Good staff, fun crowd, great jukebox and 5 out door volleyball courts make this a nice local secret. Hop in a game of bar dice, hopefully the bar ends up buying your shot. Ask for a High Life or for the bartender to surprise you, you won't be disappointed. read more

You come here to do two things: play volleyball and get really drunk. And pretty soon it'll be too cold for volleyball so we're just going to have to get really drunk. read more
