    a bloody drink and a glass of water
    Genevieve K.

    Izzy Hops is the best place to go for a yummy brunch, especially if you're looking for (kind of) bottomless mimosas. It a great deal, because they just leave the bottle and OJ on the table and you can make the mimosas yourself. The bottles are cheap and perfect for a group to share. The menu has tons of different choices, so there's something for everyone. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, which is great for the summer. The aesthetic and service are awesome and this should definitely be the spot for your next brunch!

    BINGO, booze, bumping vibes Izzy hops is a great spot for date night, networking, community and to fill that belly up. They host regular trivia and bingo nights so be sure to check out their social media sites to get in on the action. This spot offered a ride range of beers and highlights some of Milwaukee local spots like Indeed Brewing. Get that pistachio beer if you haven't already. YUM! I ordered some fish tacos that would shine a little brighter with some different spices. Love the lighting in this place and the staff is quite helpful.

    Izzy Hops is a bar with nice ambience with a full bar and plenty of tap beers. The servers are friendly. They have a nice city patio for the few months out of the year we get to enjoy such pleasures in life. This bar definitely seems like it has all age ranges, and is not full of people who are freshly drinking age. This is a nice place to grab drinks with friends or even a first date!

    Izzy Hops always has a good selection of beers and the vibe is great for a casual hangout with friends on a week day or weekend night! I've done trivia here in the past, and I remember it being a great event for groups of people!

    Izzy Hops is a really beautiful space, it's hard to imagine it used to be Rascals! It has such a warm, cozy vibe like you're hanging out at home. Or maybe it's just how I want my home to look? We finally tried the food and the bf and I were impressed. The portabella sandwich was tasty and I had enough for lunch the next day. The Philly burger, although messy, was enjoyed thoroughly by my bf. We were a little out of luck the day we went, the first two taps we wanted to try ran out the night before. Their food order didn't come in that week so they were out of slaw and fries. We had the only other option as a side, homemade chips. I normally avoid chips at restaurants but they were actually good! Some were chewy which I liked, but most crispy. They were seasoned with Parmesan and parsley. I'll be back to try their brunch and other menu items. They have happy hour as well with $2 off apps and drink specials. They have several TVs if you want to catch a game. There's a back medium sized room which I believe you can rent out for a more private event.

    I stopped in a couple of weeks ago on a Friday night. The place was quiet when I arrived but the energy picked up within about 20 minutes of my arrival. Several groups of friends entered, set up camp at a table, and continued their fun night. This place seems to have become a popular neighborhood gathering place, which is cool. The crowd was mostly 20 somethings. I sat at the bar and ordered the Cajun Shrimp Wontons app, Italian Beef sandwich, and their J. Henry Maple Old Fashioned. I enjoyed the variety of upbeat, yet softly played music in that background which encouraged conversation. The Shrimp Wontons were delicious. I didn't taste the Cajun spices on the shrimp and the wonton wrap could have been a little crispier, but they were very good, simply filled with shrimp and cream cheese. I would order them again. The Italian Beef sandwich exceeded my expectations. The beef was tender and very well-seasoned. Giardiniera was served on the side, so you can control how spicy you want it, and a bold, flavorful jus was served on the side, so you can dip your sandwich if you want and not have a drippy, sloppy mess or not dip at all and enjoy the sandwich as is. I would definitely order this again and highly recommend it! The sandwich comes with house made potato chips that are dusted with parmesan. I liked them for the most part. I especially appreciated that they weren't cooked in dirty oil, so they didn't have the dark brown, burnt, bitter flavor to them. Most chips were crispy, while some had a stale texture. The J. Henry Maple Old Fashioned was great! If you prefer a slightly sweeter old fashioned, this one does the job. In the category of bars that serve food, I give Izzy Hops and Nosh 5 stars. I would say my expectations were exceeded here.

    Shoutout to Nadia!!!!! She was the best bartender and had amazing recommendations! We're from Texas so we didn't know too many spots. We drove past this bar as everything else was super packed from shamrock shuffle. It looked kind of empty so we were hesitant. I'm so glad we decided to stop here. We got here around 11pm and kitchen closed at 10pm so we were not able to try the food. We are not IPA people, but the kombucha blueberry basil was super good! Shout out again to Nadia for giving us a sample! The service was amazing. After an hour or two everyone was gone and it was only us 2 and Nadias mom and friend. They were so cool and friendly! Loved everyone!! Sorry Nadia, I know we said we were coming back on Sunday but we kind of overslept and felt sick....LOL. I hope to visit Milwaukee and Izzy Hops again!! 10/10

    So they have trivia on Tuesdays! We popped in for dinner and had a great time! Wings, nachos, cheese curds, and a house salad - everything was good as expected. Heard the nachos were what's up and were a tad disappointed that they didn't come on the usual tray, but still were delicious!

    Mimosas!

    Super cute place inside! Small but has a nice back room with lots of seating. We went on a Saturday for brunch and it got pretty busy around 1pm. You order mimosas by the bottle for a decent price which is fun! The burger was great but the fries were the star for sure. Great place for brunch/mimosas

    Met friends at Zaffiro's for dinner, a place they consider one of their favorites. They have always…read moreraved about how incredible the pizza is, and I have to agree. This old school, family owned restaurant is very much a neighborhood classic that has stood the test of time. The thin crust is the perfect base for the amazingly tangy Italian sauce. The toppings are generously portioned, and the pizza (available in 12" & 14") is cut into squares, which make it all too easy to eat more! We started with the fried mushrooms and eggplant, which were very generously sized. Our table of four barely made a dent. The breading on both was great, trapping in the heat, flavors and firmness of the veggies. The eggplant especially, which in my experience can be mushy, was excellent. I loved how it was served with lemon wedges. The tartness of the lemon mixed with the zest of the marinara sauce made the eggplant something I could have eaten just by itself. The restaurant has a bar area first, then a dining room adjacent. The tables here are packed in pretty tight. We ended up at a corner table, and could bump elbows with the people sitting next to us. Still, everyone was respectful of each other's space and no issues were had. Our servers maneuvered through effortlessly and quickly.

Every time I go, I always think, "They come to take orders or simply check on us the perfect amount"--I know they want to ensure I've got everything I need but they don't feel overbearing (this is regarding servers or the bartender). Finally, I order the same thing each time: garden salad with house Italian dressing and the special pizza (sausage, mushroom, onion). Salad is crisp and the pizza is consistent--the best.

I love the location of this restaurant, a cozy little nook set apart from the business of downtown but still so accessible! With events happening at the fiserv and new music venue in the deer district, it was a welcome reprieve from the action. The restaurant itself is lively but chill - is there a word for that!? lol very laid back, friendly and informed staff. We were able to snag a seat at the bar which was great - it's probably got 12-15 seats. Full dinner service too! My husband got a mezcal old fashioned (not on the menu) and I got a spicy margarita. Both were great! As for food, the menu is eclectic, but everything looks and tasted great! We got 2 appetizers, the bruschetta and stuff pepper - both were delish!! And then we shared the braised beef risotto topped off the night with a spirit free strawberry Fresca & churros (SO GOOD). Great experience for deciding last minute and getting a walk in spot.

    First time coming here…read more Food: The menu has a lot of excellent choices. The drink menu features plenty of specialty cocktails, and I took our server's recommendation and ordered the Whisky Paloma, which was an excellent choice. I loved the chili dust along the rim. If you like pizza, they have an interesting selection featuring ingredients such as peaches, figs, and bacon. It was hard to decide, but I ended up ordering the Burrata pizza with grilled peaches, arugula, and honey. It was very good and would have been even better with a few more grilled peaches. I also ordered the grilled octopus because, if it's on the menu, I just have to try it. It was very good, along with the accompanying roasted potatoes. I prefer my octopus well grilled and firm, and this preparation was a bit softer than I would have liked. We finished with the tiramisu, which was a little disappointing. It was both very cold, as though it had just been thawed, and a bit soggy. Service: The service was very good throughout the evening. We were seated right away, and our server did a nice job of getting us settled in. The drinks and food arrived surprisingly quickly, and we felt well attended to throughout the meal. Thanks, Robert! Atmosphere: The building is a gem, with old brick on the outside and a modern, relaxing design on the inside. There is a foyer where guests are greeted and can wait for their tables. The wood wall treatments and lighting are inventive and upbeat. The many hard surfaces make the acoustics a bit loud, but we were still able to have a conversation comfortably. Overall, it was a very good experience. With a bit more attention to some of the final touches on the food, this could have been an even better experience. We would enjoy coming back again.

Previously we had fluffy garlic knots, smothered in sauce and parmesan however now they are serving burnt pizza crust with a sprinkle of parmesan in place of what they are advertising on their website. The pizza dough was still raw and not edible. Perhaps management has changed, as their phone number and location within the building also have and the previous menu is no longer offered which supports this theory. We did order close to closing time and inquired whether it was too late to place an order however they proceeded to take our order regardless. We would have been more satisfied if they had let us know it was too late and they would not be able to provide the quality service we had been given before. Upset to say that we will no longer be ordering from brute, they have officially lost their game.

I swore off Pizza Shuttle pizza after that, but I decided that I could give them another shot since I received a coupon that covered all but a couple dollars. What I missed the most about Pizza Shuttle was their thick and chewy garlic butter pizza crust.
