Such a great surprise find! Out in an area I wasn't familiar with, I looked up on Yelp to see what was about for drinks. I loved the name and sign, also very close by. Ran into a bartender I knew from a Milwaukee east side bar. Great drinks, an excellent bartender (Lissa), and a friendly and engaging group of other patrons at the bar. A much larger space than I expected. Pool tables, a kitchen (although in the process of hiring a new cook), and room for good sized gatherings. Very much give a recommend for this very local and energetic bar! read more

I heard from a couple people about the fish fry here, so me and my friend stopped here a week ago to try it out. My friend got there before I did and was able to hold a seat for me and ordered a a double vodka lemonade right away. Our bartender Raphael was super laid back and overall a good egg. They hold your cards to if you're running a tab which is nothing out of the norm when it comes to a bar, but because I didn't have cash on me at the time I had to ask for my card back because I was informed that I would need it to place an order at the kitchen for food. This was a first for me to go a kitchen window to do an order but it was not a big deal for us. Now if you do pay with your card, there's like a $2 or $3 fee so just a heads up. I went with the 2 piece fried cod with french fries and my friend did the same but with the potato pancakes. We didn't wait long before we received our order and I was ready to dig in. The fries were nicely reasoned and received a nice amount with the order. The fish was flaky, crispy and with a squeeze of lemon and dash of salt it was pretty good. I did see there other specials they had for other food items and would love to try in the future. But overall not a bad place and wished I would've stopped here sooner. read more

This is a cute little place in West Allis! They have two pool tables and also host pool tournaments. Additionally they have a kitchen that's serves up pub grub. Note: if you use a credit card there is a $2.50 surcharge so being cash if you can! read more

Braydon was an amazing bartender, very knowledgable in his craft recommending good mixers and shots, he was very friendly and talkative definitely a good vibe. The place itself is a nice dive bar with pool, darts, pull tabs, and late night snacks. 100% coming back for Bray 11am-4pm Friday to Sunday. Sunday is 50¢ wings!! read more

I pulled over to look at some text messages and when I was done I looked up and seen this place with an open sign, hum I have never been here before while driving down this street for the last 11 years. I thought let's get a Sunday afternoon cocktail and check them out. The place is very old looking with old school wooden coolers, long bar and a spacious side room with more tables. The guy bartending was very welcoming to everyone. It started out as a quiet place with just a couple people but before my drink was done the whole bar was full and it was so loud that my Shazam app couldn't hear the song on the music box. I heard the bartender tell someone that the kitchen is closed so they must have some food at least frozen pizza like most bars. It seemed like a nice neighborhood bar to hang out at while I was there. read more

Absolutely a warm and welcoming place!! We had a fabulous time thanks to Blake! We will definitely be back!!

best first date spot. great drinks great vibes order a tequila sunrise and you're set

Great place, Great environment Great Customer Service with great Drinks I highly recommend if you like a chill spot with great people.

Stopped in on Christmas Eve and the bartender was awesome! Huge plus was that my drunk friend fell in love with her in the first 30 seconds he started talking to her. We will definitely be back, and next time hopefully the kitchen will be open. read more

Great corner bar, all the people are friendly, the food is really good, plenty of room to grab a seat at the bar or sit at a bigger table with a group. Close to home too so going to flappers is an easy choice for a night out. Would recommend the pepperjack cheese sticks from the kitchen! read more

I've been here numerous times over the course of 10 years and thought I would leave a review about their food. I've never eaten there before but thought I would give it a try. I had some of their mini tacos which were amazing and some of their loaded tatchos which were very good and if you get the large order it's huge, four people could probably eat off of it and all feel pretty satisfied. The food came out quickly and the girl that took our order and brought the food out was very nice. If you haven't eaten there I would definitely recommend trying it out. read more

Really amazing menu. I was surprised at how diverse it was considering it is a local bar in West Allis. Rumaki is on the menu, suffed portobello mushrooms (the large ones, not tiny ones) and more! The burgers are great, and can be made to order. Lot's of chicken options too. I have tried a variety of their appetizers and they are all pretty good. Poutine on a menu? Yes! It is pretty tasty too. I got delivery and everything is labeled well and even has smiley faces, the food is happy and delicious. Definitely give this place a try. Prices are reasonable. read more

Food is delicious. Service is awesome. Ambiance is cool, mellow and comfortable place to hang out

I stopped in on Wednesday night. The smells were so good it was Amazing!! I went to the back to check out the menu and was fascinated with this Blue Plate Special. I decided to try it. I ordered the 2 pork Chops, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, or came with 2 Hawaiian rolls and I ordered 1 slice of key lime pie. This was TO GO. SO, I get home, find 2 pieces of pork chop ( boneless) that appears to have come from one chop. They had the nice looking black searing on the meat, but these were so dry it took extra chewing, hard to swallow. That was disappointing!! Then there was the broccoli in place of my green beans that I didn't want. I thought the mashed potatoes and gravy would comfort me a bit, but this spoonful of lumpy potatoes was not only a very small serving, but the gravy on them tasted like it came from a jar. I definitely was extremely disappointed with the Blue Plate Special, the portion sizes, the flavor and the way it was over cooked! But wait!!!!!! Remember I ordered key lime pie.... I got a nice size slice of pie that was covered in a white topping that was not whipped cream or cool whip. It was very thick and broke off in chunks when I put the fork in. This is not a Topping I've ever had on key lime pie and I've had plenty of key lime pie!!! But worse than the topping, which I scraped off, was the filling! It was discolored in spots on one side like it was dried out, a last piece that was sitting??? I don't know, but it was not a smooth creamy pie but closer to a piece of hospital pie. The entire meal was an epic fail! Flavor, texture, appearance, portion size...... Not even the dessert could redeem this meal.... I'm not sure what happened here on this night!!! I know they do make good food, I've heard anyway. This was just wrong in every way. I definitely would say to Stay away from the Blue Plate Special. I wasted my money and the food was wasted as well. I'm giving 2 stars because I know they can do better!!! At least I hope!!!! read more

I can't speak to the ambiance because we ordered take out for dinner, but the food was AMAZING. They have clearly labeled keto options on their menu which is awesome for us low carbers. Everything was cooked perfectly and really seasoned well. Portion sizes are good and the price is really reasonable. Did not expect this from a bar! Plus their menu was HUGE...we just planned on burgers but the choices were endless. Also, we ordered thru Grubhub and it came super fast and was still hot. This will probably be our new go to. read more

I had ordered their Becher Street Special pizza. It was delicious! It was a thin, crispy crust topped with artichoke hearts, peppers, mushrooms, and a pesto sauce. I can't wait to try other menu items! read more

Initially ignored by servers. Eventually able to order food (cheese fries and kitchen sink pizza). Food was SPECTACULAR. Service evolved to being really good. I'll be back. Need more beer variety, though. I know it's divey and I'm far from hipster but a man needs heavy dark beer. read more

This was my old watering hole in the early 2010's. Still come by every once in a while. Drinks are still cold, and the pizza and wings are still as great as ever. Come by on a wednesday for wings! read more

Your typical local bar but the big difference is the bar food is a step above. Technically the restaurant is separate from the bar but nevertheless its really good food. My favorite was the Jose Poppers. But honestly I have yet to find something that I don't like. It also nice that they have a few local craft beers read more

Flappers - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Great little bar with a charm that refuses to let it be just another "Stallis" spot. Drinks are fairly priced and the staff is great. And the FOOD!!! The kitchen at Flappers is far and away some of the best pub food I've ever had. I even feel guilty calling it pub food - everything is fresh or as close as can be. They have a substantial menu full of options like made-to-order pizzas, burgers, fried goodies (spicy green beans OMG), greener options for those that are a bit more health conscious (unheard of and much needed!) and an awesome rotation of daily specials. And Sue - She's pretty darn great. read more

I ordered a 1/2 pound "Flapper Burger" and poutine, and the man had the "Boo Bear Wrap" and cajun fries. My review would be lower, but the bf enjoyed his wrap, and the poutine was pretty tasty. My burger hower, not so much. The spread on it was good, but the burger kinda sucked, and I ordered grilled onions (the burger supposedly comes with raw too) and got no onion at all. Didn't seem like 1/2 pound either, though to be honest I wouldn't really want more. I also hadn't eaten all day, so I already had added the best spice. Try the curds, stay away from the burgers, and don't expect onion. read more

A strong looking blue collar bar with a couple of pool tables. The back kitchen makes great bar food and the overall look of this tavern is excellent. A neighborhood bar with all the originals and some newer beers offered. A good number of T V sets as well read more

Friendly staff! Menu has something for everyone. From spicy to pizza to Mac and cheese...can't go wrong. Lots of specials in the kitchen that tie in with Brewers, Bucks and even State Fair type foods. read more

Went here today for the first time. Sat down for 5 mins and neither of the bartenders approached us. One looked at us and then walked outside to have s cigarette, and didn't bother to tell the other bartender to wait on us. The other bartender came out from behind the bar to look at a slot machine, looked at us and went back behind the bar. We thought she may be going to get stuff to wait on us but instead she started talking to one of the three people sitting at the bar. I will never be going back there. Rude horrible service is unacceptable. read more

The ONLY thing that keeps me from rating this place 5 stars is the jukebox selection. Hip hop and rap is (almost) completely blocked. Obviously those of us that know the genres know our way around the labels... but I think it is quite bogus that every other genre including metal (which I also love) is available... except for these. I try to understand the language aspect... but then I realize this is a bar... why should anything be blocked? If people think it could attract the "wrong" crowd... that's a completely prejudiced outlook on things. Open up the jukebox and yeah maybe you'll get a few more drunk fools just like there are already... but you'll also gain a wider demographic. Isn't that the point? read more

First time there on Saturday night. we were immediately welcomed by a very friendly bartender and made to feel at home. There's plenty to do there. Some customers ordered pizza and it smelled so good that we decided to bring one home and it was great. But more than anything else we really really like the bartender. read more

Stop in when close. Very friendly bartender. Large roomy bar. Goid wings. Been there several times.

Love it!! Great vibe, weird business model (food and bar and different businesses), fantastic food, great drinks. Will definitely be back!!

Flappers was a blast. We took their shuttle on Saturday to Brewer game. We didn't know they serve food, and it was great!!! The bartender Kimy was super friendly too!!! We will definitely be coming back!! read more

My wife and myself were looking for a place close to home to drink at so we decided to check out Flappers. As we walked in, I could see that this was an old establishment (prohibition old?) and it was quite spacious. We sat at a table in the middle of room and that's when we heard the beginning of Billy Jean by MJ. My wife looked at me, I at her, wondering WTF. Then this white, early 30 something guy wearing a pink "preppy" shirt started looking around suspiciously. My wife said "watch him", just then, he "pops" his collar as the beat picks up and breaks out grabbing himself and lip syncing. It was so terrible is was awesome. After a minute watching him he noticed we were doing so, he sits down at our table and asks "so how are you lovebirds doing"? We couldn't stop laughing. The drink selection was normal for dirty Stallis and reasonable. The tender was polite and quick. Will we come back? Sure, why not. read more

Just a great meal try the blue plate special you won't be disappointed, great food great prices great people

We were looking for a bar in West Allis that I've never been to and ended up at Flappers. It far exceeded my expectations. Great bar & friendly staff. Their food menu is vast and enticing. We had stuffed portobello mushrooms, veggies and dip, poutine, teriyaki wings and bruschetta. Everything was excellent, especially the mushrooms. Prices are very reasonable for the quantity and quality.There's a plethora of other food options; pizza, burgers, wraps, fish fry and daily specials, I can't wait to try. They also have several pool tables. We will definitely be going back. read more

Very nice interior, clean and inviting. We ordered the bars brandy old fashion sweet. The drinks were good with the tradition cherry and orange. We ordered the perch and cod fish fry. The fish was very good. Light breading, fried and not greasy. The coleslaw was crisp and fresh. The fries and potato pancakes were delicious. Marble rye bread finished it off. I will definately be back. The menu had a lot of sandwiches I'd like to try. The pizza looked really good too. Another nice Beecher Street gem. read more

Fun bar with great food... half nachos half tot-chos = amazing. During the early hours it has more of a pub and Grill feel but later in the evening it definately turns more into a bar. Pool tables are nice, good music selection as well. read more

I've been coming here for a few years now. The bartenders are usually great - Steve O is a riot. Drinks are good. Food is better. Sue is a magician in the kitchen. For West Allis, Flapper's is where it's at. read more

Love Flappers. Epic kitchen with epic menu. I would love to go there every night if I could.

Fun bar on the weekends, good looking women running around but the bartender on wendsday nights is a flake for real

Hands down best pizza in the city! Whenever we have a Packer party, this is where we order from. I am really picky about sauce, theirs is great and they don't overdo it! read more

Great bar really liked it. Service was fast and friendly. Food was amazing. It wasn't overly priced. Overall great we will be coming back for sure! read more

i love this bar. The food has been great every time I go there. The only issue I ran into was my last time going there the bartender and a friend of the bartender were vaping even though a sign on the front door that says "vape free zone" otherwise love the specials including the siren special ( $2.00 domestic bottles if a fire truck drives past with their siren) read more
