Linda and Joel are great hosts. True rockers with awesome music playing all the time. The vibe, customers and pizza are all great. Visit, you won't be disappointed! read more

Love the old timey dive vibe. Good bloody mary. Will be back to try the pizza. Bartender super friendly and told us all about the events. Excited to come for karaoke! read more

Came across this place by accident and sure glad we did. Awesome place to see. The bartender and owner were awesome. Plenty of beers to try. They stayed open late for my son and I to watch college baseball World Series and UFC250. Couldn't ask for a better time to cap a night during a road trip. read more

I took my family here for some pizza. The pizzas are pretty good, but be aware They are kind of small if you're feeding a family. We ended up ordering an additional pizza to go. Also, at this time, all they have is pizza. You might see pictures of other food, but that is not available as of yesterday. We will have to go back and try it another time, unfortunately, on our visit, there was a group of about 40 rambunctious patrons. They were having a great time and they were also very loud. This is not the Bar's fault it was just bad timing on our end. All of the staff there were super nice! read more

Pizza was not hot the green olives were whole not sliced very hard to eat on a pizza. The tap beer was warm I believe the drinks are watered down and I'm Sorry I don't want to see my bartenders brown spot through her shirt !! read more

I am leaving a review because I don't think you can leave tips anymore. We didn't eat here, because they no longer offer a fish fry. I guess we were looking at old reviews. Staff very nice and friendly though! Cool old building and we may go back one day when we're not looking for something specific. read more

As soon as I saw this place I knew it was going to be good but I had no idea how good. Linda is amazing but so are Smokey, and Doug and everyone else I met. I'm a long way from home but now I have friends in Milwaukee and what the hell is the point of a bar like the Landmark if it isn't just that?!? The oldest bar in Milwaukee. The coolest bar in Milwaukee. God Speed Linda! See you next time! read more

Landmark has such an awesome vibe! I was staying at the hotel across the street and with nothing to do except coming here - I went! Mickey "like the mouse," is awesome! Super fun and polite and a jack of all trades.... She's tending a full bar and making food in the kitchen all while providing great service. Make sure you tip her well! Great bear selection I had the III Dachshunds IPA and Amber Ale. Both brewed by the former owner's son, both delicious what I loved most about the bar was the architecture and craftsmanship inside. It's really what makes the bar great. Next time I'm in Milwaukee and close to the airport, I will make it a point to stop by here for a cold one and some cheese curds! read more

What a hidden gem! I stopped into this tavern expecting a casual bite and a drink, but walked out seriously impressed. Not only is it the oldest tavern in the area -- which gives it a cozy, historic vibe -- but the staff couldn't have been friendlier. You instantly feel like a regular, even if it's your first time. Now let's talk about that thin crust pizza... hands down one of the best I've ever had. Perfectly crisp, loaded with flavor, and cooked just right. The food overall was spot-on, but that pizza? Next-level. And I'd be lying if I didn't mention the bar staff -- friendly, attentive, and very easy on the eyes! Great food, great people, and great atmosphere -- what more can you ask for? read more

Landmark 1850 Inn - Veggie pizza - Bars Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Wow! This is the oldest bar in Wisconsin. The peer is great, the service is better . And the floors are original!

We went for our Friday fish fry and to our surprise, they are no longer serving fish fry. They mainly offer pizza during business hours.

Fish fry was ok, shrimp was good, but we were disappointed with the fries. It was such a small portion and they were soggy. The old fashioned was good and bartender was very nice. Very cool old school feel and really easy to find parking in their lot. read more

First cheese curds & Spotted Cow in Wisconsin this trip. Loved the deep fried mushrooms and Belgian Trappist Monk Chimay Beer too. So happy to see them reopen. They've made some excellent improvements but kept this beloved historic establishment authentic and original. Be sure to check out the gorgeous tin ceiling in the bar. We're at the historic, oldest tavern in Milwaukee, the Landmark 1850 Inn is less than 5 minutes from the airport and across the street from our Hilton Garden Inn. read more

I'm so happy that the Landmark is open again! This was my go-to place at the airport and when it closed, I was very sad. Now under new ownership, Joel and Linda are doing amazing work to revitalize this historic tavern. It's much brighter and the hospitality, beverages, and food are top notch. We were only here for a bite and a drink, but it's back on the list of go-to places! read more

I've been a customer of Landmark since 1980..One of their first businesses. Great place to bank at. Good rates and they help the community! They collect for charities, like diaper collection and much more! read more

This is a great place. I had the spicy jalapeno and peach pizza. Well cooked and priced! I had four beers. The bartender was awesome as she indulged my IPA preference for round one, and was also a great guide on the subsequent local brews. There were many locals in the bar and at the same time it was very welcoming :). Slamming of dice (Yatzee?) on a bar table that's been there for 175 years and karaoke = a mellow, warm environment. As I was walking back to the Hilton, someone asked about the 1850 and I said "go!" read more

A very cool place to have some drinks and take in the nostalgia of the oldest tavern in Milwaukee. Mickey was fantastic and was very attentive and gave great service. A must visit! read more

Ok. So I went there on a whim on a day off from my latest work trip and was I surprised!! So this place is recently reopened and all I can say is drop in as soon as you can!!! This place is fantastic! Some would say, "Hey, isn't! This just another dive bar???", and in this case they would be wrong. This is a great bar. Yes, unassuming. Yes, mainly a beer type bar. But it is a darned fun place. I did not have any food, but listening to the other patrons talk their food was awesome too!! Please just go there. Wonderful historic building and great local peeps! Just go!!! read more

Best place ever! Great staff, beer, & food." Great atmosphere, intelligent, interesting folks. They look-out for their patrons!" read more

We have been there numerous times for happy hour and dinners. Top notch food and service. A GREAT fish fry, one of the best in Milwaukee. Highly recommend for an authentic Milwaukee experience. This past weekend Landmark 1850 hosted a private luncheon for us at Friday Noon. It was FABULOUS. We had people from across the country and they raved about the food and the coziness of the bar. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

Late night pizza spot amazing service great beer selections location is good. Karaoke on Wednesday nights is a lot of fun as well

I worked at the airport for 3 weeks and found this place one day, heard it was the oldest bar in Milwaukee, so I had to check it out. Best thing that happened to me finding this place, spent more time and money over that time but worth every dollar spent. Linda the bartender/owner super sweet, can make any drink, great pours, great shots, the pizzas are awesome and like 12 bucks! She makes food like almost everyday she works that she provides for free! Wings are excellent, brats decent, it blows my mind she does this, she really loves her customers. Karaoke is a blast, Sundays game days are fun, plenty of TV', space and history in this old 1850's building. If I lived here, Id be here 5 days a week. I cant say enough great things about this place. They say its haunted as well if thats your thing. Stop in and check out the huge selection of drinks and beers, you wont be disappointed. Tell them you saw Jims review for a free shot! (Really, Im buying, just ask for Linda) Cheers! read more

Service was excellent! Servers and bartenders took great care of us. Limited menu but the fish fry was good. We plan to go back!

Best bar on the South side of Milwaukee. Don't think twice go check it out. This bar has history and is amazing they also have great food and beer selection. read more

We arrived at the landmark at 6:35 for the fish fry. Didn't seem real busy but we noticed that no one in the seating area had food. We ordered at 6:50 and at 7:15 we one table get their pizza. We overheard the waitress tell other folks that the kitchen was backed up. At 7:25 I asked for a status report on our order. At 7:33 the waitress told us are selection of fish was not available but we could order something else. I told her we were cashing out and paid for our drinks. Our first time back since the new ownership. It's improved with seating and lighting. We will not be back for food. read more

We've been there a couple of times now since reopening. Very cool old bar, great service and really good food. They have a really good selection of tap beer, a number of craft beers, and imports, as well as bottled beers. And of course a full bar. We had their pizza last week. Thin crust, really crispy, and really good. On our previous visit we had the fish fry, also excellent. They now service lunch so food is available all day. Highly recommended. read more

Just returned from the newly opened Landmark 1850 Inn had the cod fish fry. Thinking i was going to get an average fish fry, it was excellent. The fish was perfectly cooked, not greasy and fish was moist and not at all mushy or over cooked and dry like i have had at other places. Probably due to the fact that all pieces were the same size so they all cooked the same. Fish was well seasoned, maybe just a touch to much salt but better that then being bland. I choose the sweet potato fries as a side and they were waffle cut and very tasty. Served with marble rye and a cup of coleslaw, easily the best cod fish fry I have had in a long time. read more
