From the outside it is so bland and you are truly unsure if you are walking into an abandoned building or a crappy towny bar. Once you enter, it may take your eyes a moment to adjust if you are coming in from a bright sunny day. Foundation Bar has super low lighting, very moody. There is ample seating and a few different seating options; bar stools, booths, high top tables. Seat yourself. To order drinks you walk up to the bar. There is not table service. The decorations here are great! There are some really incredible pieces and collections! Some I would love to have if I could find them. This is a very laid back atmosphere, very chill not loud or overbearing so relax and enjoy the ambiance. I believe my drink was called El Diablo and was very good. My boyfriend chose a Zombie which is always strong! He preferred my drink!

Just after 8pm on a Friday night we got parking right at the front door which I thought was rock star lucky until we went in, completely empty except for the bar tender which I thought was weird. We sat down and ordered a couple drinks while talking and a big heavy set guy walks in and behind the bar to talk to the bar tender and finally sat down across from us. While having drinks and talking the douchebag had a disturbing laser stare on us non stop and after repeated looking at him, he continued non stop staring at us so we had to leave. I don't know what his problem was but making strangers feel uncomfortable was very natural to him and he was a pro at it. I'm going to spend some time in the area so I was looking regular place to go to but this will not be that place and we will not return again.

They have local beers and my personal favorite cocktails are the Little Prince and the Dirty Sprite.

Drinks are affordable. The bartender was a lovely older woman with kind eyes and a big German Shepherd colleague. The outside space is adorable, although be warned, the lattice cover over the patio screams and creaks like it has been possessed. Even though this feels like a hidden gem, the bar drew constant visitors even early on a Saturday evening. One challenge - parking in the area is extremely limited.

In Paddy's Pub you will find an atmosphere as close to that of a genuine Irish pub as exists in…read moreMilwaukee. Conversations in a normal tone of voice are a given as the music is always soft and the other customers, on a normal night, are always considerate. For example, I belong to a book club who meet there weekly and we are able to read, aloud, without raising our voices and disturbing, or being disturbed by, other customers. Patty, the owner and chief bartender, is always cheerful and accommodating. The people who frequent the pub are friendly and always looking for someone to talk to, be that person another regular or a stranger. The pub has three rooms so you can pick the ambience you want, e.g. tv or no tv, crowd or no crowd (relatively speaking). The decorations are authentic. As I've said of Ireland many times, go once, you'll go back. Slainte!

The bartender was super friendly and we had a nice chat about this place and how a lot of the restaurants in the building use this as a test kitchen before they get their own place. Back to the bar, it's such a cool concept because it shows recognization to how the building use to be Oreintal Drugs. They have a wide variety of drinks to choose from from coffee, beer, wine, cocktails, non alcoholic drinks. Literally, whatever you imagine they have you covered. You can get food from any of the local businesses inside so the combinations are endless for pairings.

Here you'll find plenty of brews on tap, wines, and a solid line up of canned drinks/seltzers. Most notable though, their house cocktails. I opted for the cocorita and was definitely a fan! If you like coconut flavor and margs, then you're in for a treat with this one. So refreshing and even comes with shaved coconut on the side of the glass. If tequila isn't your thing, they've got ya covered with all the other concoctions -- from a sunshine martini to a Gillian's island rum mixer. And even if you prefer NA, there's drinks cleverly called "placebo effects" for ya! Love the sprawling bar, with plenty of seats, that's right in front of the big open doors letting the fresh air in. Friendly faces behind the bar too. Look forward to returning!
