Played some bar dice, talked with two of the regulars. It DOES get rowdy and loud but no fights. All in good fun. I think it matches the vibe of the neighborhood pretty well. Go next door to County Claire for delicious food.

The inside has a huge bar-top with stools, pool table, tv's to watch sports, and a lot of milwaukee memorabilia on the walls. It's never too loud so it's a great spot for catching up with friends. Drinks are very fairly priced but don't go in ready to order a fancy cocktail. They also allow you or order food into the bar to eat, score! This was my second time to Monica's and I would definitely come back again!

I really like dive bars. This place is definitely a dive bar…read more In a nutshell: tucked off Hampton in Butler, this dive is everything - cheap beer, pool table, old school cigarette vending machine, dice, all that. Plus a really nice internet jukebox, which makes things extra interesting/fun. Luke played two Ghostface Killah songs just after some suburban kid played a rash of Metallica. Juxtaposition for fun and enjoyment! Nothing fancy, which is just the way I (generally) like it. Should you find yourself killing time in Butler for any reason, this is a solid place to do it.

I stopped here after driving down this street for 12 years and I never noticed it until today so I…read moredid a U turn and I stopped. The place is your typical West Allis dive bar with a pool table etc. The bartender and the regulars were welcoming and I'm told that it has been around for about 12 years so how have I missed it. My service was great from the woman working the bar. They couldn't even make a proper Gin Rickey because they had no lime juice and I got the last lime wedge and now we are out of limes. It still amazes me that a bar doesn't lime juice or limes.

It is one of those places where everyone is a regular and knows each other. So, when you walk expect to get the "once over" from the locals. They have a pool table, enclosed smoking patio (with no ventilation), a few gaming machines and the coolest hand dryers in the bathroom! (You are just going to have to go and see for your self!) Nice enough place to stop in when you are just looking to hang out and drink for cheap!

The place is on the corner with street parking and bigger on the inside than it looks. I meet dick while I was there and Liz was my server. For a neighborhood bar everyone was friendly and welcoming, no one of those click bars. The place is definitely dated in a good dive way with pool table, atm, music machine, gambling machines etc etc. I got so tired over the years of the same 4 old pictures so a steve stop by was desperately needed. I ordered a gin Rickey which is like over 140 years old and once popular but not today and I get the same confused look every time I order one. The menu is small and I will post a picture of it but I ordered the hot wings .75 cents with a minimum of 10, $7.50 is great for wings at this time in a restaurant. The wings are deep fried and finished off on the char grill, char grill is my favorite so I will need to try a cheeseburger next time. My wings looked good for a neighborhood bar that were medium sized so not tiny but not jumbo and just right. My wings were cooked perfect and still moist that were average so my favorite wing place is still safe. Overall it's a nice friendly bar that is definitely reasonable with two tall double cocktails and an order of wings for $19.50, hell some restaurants have wings for $16 on the menu now days. It's a great place to meet some new people and a conversations with new people. I would definitely go back again and I will.

There was no menu that I saw, but we ordered 2 old fashioned with bourbon, sweet. The inside looks recently renovated - industrial/metal concrete vibes?, There's pool table, a few TV screens, and high top tables with heavy, counter height bar stools tucked along the windows. It was dark when we visited, but I'd imagine there's a great view of the river during the day. Everything was clean, and I appreciated that the tables/floors weren't sticky or gross. The drinks were just right. We were on a tight schedule to get to another reservation, or I would have liked to hang out a little longer - the bartender was quick to close out or tab. Overall, cool vibe, good drink, fair price. The only downside was parking, but that's a given for anywhere downtown.

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.

Our party of 3 sat there for 7-10 minutes with no service. Fast forward, the bartender proceeded to give IMMENSE amounts of attitude. She gave multiple dirty looks, while treating us as we were not welcome(all while ignoring us). We collectively ordered a round of espresso martinis (which previously was ordered and received a month-ish ago) and apparently that day they "don't have it on the menu". HOG was one of my favorite bars, prior to this horrid experience, I would always recommend HOG to visitors. Its ambience, location, prices and welcoming atmosphere were unmatched.
