    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!!!!

    Pretty impressed by this place! It's a very unassuming location outside, but once you go inside,…read morethe vibes are immaculate. I love all the air plants they have and the dark interior really does make it more of a "classy dive" as their name suggests. We came here for a Sunday lunch and to catch the Brewers game. They had a three dollar special on domestics when we went, which was cool. Our server was nice and our orders came out promptly. The food was absolutely delicious. I was blown away by it actually. When I go to dive bars, I don't have the highest expectations for the food because usually the food is mediocre. However, at this bar, it really blew me away. I had the ODB smashburger with regular fries. The burger was juicy and flavorful with such a fluffy, soft bun. I love that they put crispy onion straws in it for a little crunch. The fries are steak fries. They had some beer batter type of coating that made them so crispy and yummy. I'm glad I stumbled upon this place. I look forward to coming back to catch another game and eat their delicious food!

    Wow! This may be the best cocktail bar in the city. It is a full vibe that must be experienced…read more Craft cocktails in a charming, warm, inviting space similar to a Victorian era home back in the 1900s. Service is impeccable. They do a tremendous job of explaining the menu and food options in detail, and ensure you have a great experience from start to finish. The drinks? Nothing short of amazing. They vary the featured cocktails menu every 8 weeks, so most likely you'll get a different experience every time you go. However you can always get your classic cocktails like Margaritas, French 75 and Martinis. They also can do any drink NA which is the first of its kind in the US. They have an option called dealers choice, where you can pick the spirit and flavor profile of the drink you want: spicy, sour, floral, smoky etc. no limits! You write down on a card what you want and they craft you a cocktail based on your selections. They also offer a variety of food pairings to go along with the select, featured drink you order. We got spring rolls, a braised, pork infused doughnut, and an incredible bone broth that still has me in a tizzy. Fair warning: it's small and difficult to get a reservation - don't try your luck walking in, this place is a hot ticket and you won't be able to get in without a resy, which could be weeks or months out. This is a true gem of a cocktail bar, and is as good as anything you would find in New York or Chicago.

    Liked the vibe - reminds me of shakers cigar bar but without all the smoke (like, a bit spooky,…read moreold, maybe haunted but also very cool). We stopped here after dinner, so we stuck mostly with the cocktails. Unfortunately, nothing on the seasonal menu really stuck out to me. I stuck with the "traditional" cocktails (spicy watermelon bubblegum, and then banana daiquiri). Hubs went for the halo halo food (which was so cute! All the typical ingredients but served in cubist fashion), and the paired drink. The paired drink was supposed to have different layers of flavor, but they all mixed together quite a bit. Tasty, just not the "layered" experience we thought. I think they almost do themselves a disservice comparing themselves to the aviary - that is a crazy high bar to meet. Granted, maybe we would have been more impressed if we had more of the seasonal cocktails despite them not seeming interesting? Probably wouldnt go out of my way to go here again, but it is a cool vibe and the cocktails were good.

We sat down at one of their cozy booths after a bit and hung out. The vibe is homey, cozy, rustic, and just good vibes overall. They have cool decor with huge plants and wood all around. The lighting makes it nice and cozy but not too dark. It's great during the day or later at night when the sun sets. I ordered their on tap espresso martini. It was super good! It had a strong coffee flavor which I really like, I do wish I saved that for my last drink of the night because it was very dessert like. I also ordered a 5oz Guinness which was perfectly poured and just the right size for what I wanted. It made sense it was perfectly poured since the bartender was Irish! He was great with getting drinks out quickly and always being cheerful with all of the guests, no matter how busy it was. Another must see Tosa/Milwaukee spot because it is just that good!
