    Bar area.
    Mike R.

    Driving from St Louis to Milwaukee and was looking for a bar to watch my Green Bay Packers. Came across JP Kelly's (via Packer bar search). Kelly's is normally not open Sundays... with exceptions of Packer games. Wow, were we lucky to find this place. Great staff, great patrons. Hospitality was amazing. Even though I was there for watching football, you can certainly see why this is an excellent Irish bar. Spoke with the namesake whose parents were from Ireland (his daughter owns the place and he has a son helping out as well). The bartender expertly poured Guinness' and Black & Tans. If you are in the area, stop in. Or if you are a Packer fan make a special trip! (Hint, bring some food for the potluck if you think of it).

    Saturday morning!

    Nice place downtown. Just a couple blocks from our hotel. Bartender was more than helpful suggesting places to go

    Good place to grab a drink but nothing special to keep those of us with a short attention span from leaving.

    We quickly discovered the cool Bloody Mary bar where you can select from a menu of condiments and a beer chaser!

    What a fun place to visit. Located just a block off rt66 George Ranks is under new ownership and…read morehas went through some nice changes. The food here is amazingly good. Its a very nice mix of burgers and "sammiches" for anyone to enjoy. Appetizers are also available. Buffalo wings here are my favorite!!! Then there is the cocktails!!! Very inexpensive and great specials daily. Highly recommend this "dive bar" for any locals or anyone passing through.

    The building at 6th & Laurel has been many things since being built in the late 1950s. It started…read morelife as the Triple Treat Drive-In. Then morphed to Sir Pizza, a pizza place with an Arthurian theme. When local musician George Rank picked it up and opened George Rank's Spirits and Sandwiches it was well-received and of decent quality. Alas, nothing is forever and George is no longer with the living. The location has had many names and themes since then, often returning to the "George Rank's" meme. The latest iteration started out well as the owner had owned a popular chilli parlour and brought Nancy, the lady who made the chilli and soups over to the bar and grill. As noted above, nothing is forever. Nancy has moved on. There are no soups, the chilli would make a Pennsylvania diner or truck stop proud - but certainly is not fit to be served in the "Chilli Capitol of the Civilised Universe". The ambiance has changed, too. Noisy video poker machines spew their racket into the smallish room, making conversation difficult. And the video jukebox flashes its adverts garishly into the gloom. I ordered a roast beef and pepper jack sandwich on a wheat roll. After a few minutes and after my dining companions had received their food I was told that "the roast beef is still frozen" (this was after 12 noon) and asked would I like another choice of meat. So, I asked for the Virgina ham, pepper jack cheese on a whole wheat roll. What I got was ham, yellow cheese and a white roll. And the above mentioned horrid cup of chilli. None of us will be back under the current owners.
