Just had to drop a note that neighborhood draft continues to slay the best wings in the city. Love all the sauces, their tap list selection is great (and a surprisingly good wine selection, too, plus great cocktails at reasonable prices). We generally like to mix it up and go new places but find ourselves coming back here again and again. The patio is perfect, and we love the versatility of the vibe here; you could come for a date night dressed smart or roll in in jeans and a t shirt and either way you'll fit right in and enjoy your time. Service is always fast and friendly, too! read more

I frequent this establishment quite a bit. Definitely some of the best bar food in the city. Very cool corner bar type atmosphere with the garage door entrance. Staff here has been here a long time and are very friendly and efficient. My go to meal here is the fish sandwich. Easily the best in the city. It's offered every day on the menu. The fried chicken and wings here are also top notch. All the sauces are homemade and they change frequently. There isn't anything on the menu that i've tried that I haven't enjoyed. Potato pancakes , which are also offered every day , are some of the best in the city. Friday's feature a splendid fish fry. And on sundays , the ham sandwich deal is excellent. Great place to grab dinner or lunch or a cold brew. Tons of different menu options for people to enjoy. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Came back for the second time! This time we came for new years eve dinner. We ordered the kobe beef sliders, fish fry bites with garlic and her fries. The sliders were my favorite!! Absolutely delicious. Everything was tasty! I also ordered a old-fashioned and was offered their in-house made Brandy and it was also delicious. Quickly becoming our new favorite spot. :) read more

Neighborhood Draft - Ope cherry pie seltzer - New American Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Loved the looks of the place but the staff was so unfriendly. Never once did either the bartender or the waiter smile. Waiter didn't even say a word to us when he brought us water. Bartender would throw glass bottles into the trash so hard that I would jump every time. Kind of giggled when I read their menu and they had "not so friendly " chicken as this is definitely a not so friendly place. Maybe you need to be from this neighborhood to get a smile or waited on. I had to go to bar to get some beer. After first beer my husband wanted to try their wings. Bartended finally came out from behind at to take our order. Still not a hello or smile. Food was great and beer was cold and place was pretty full of young happy patrons. Music was a little loud but we will be back. read more

Neighborhood Draft - Tajin dry rub wings - New American Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Food was good , JB3 sauce just tasted like buffalo sauce to me didnt taste like bourbon or brown sugar. What lacked was service it was like a mix of hostess and server and kitchen just did its own thing.My dish came 30.minutes behind my wifes it was a baked cod dish couldnt only imagine if I ordered the wings and the dish at the same time. Multiple servers overlapping each other asking for our drinks when they were already ordered it seemed like a mess and the late arrival.my food seems like there is no cohesion in the place.The food was good not awesome but good read more

Some of the best wings in Milwaukee. A casual place to stop in for libations and food. An impressive tap list matched with a solid offering of bourbon-the bar doesn't disappoint. Their grilled chicken wings are the main attraction with a great selection of accompanying sauces. The wings are large and definitely filing. The rest of the menu items definitely embrace the cozy and laid back vibe of the place. Elevated pub food is where it's at. A great stop to pop into before or after a Brewers game or anytime you have a hankering for rockstar wings. read more

I've been wanting to try this establishment for quite some time since I live very close. We tried the olive brought a salad, which was fresh and delicious. We also tried the empanadas which I absolutely loved. It was served with two sauces a Verde sauce and a chipotle, sour cream, I prefer the Verde sauce, The Parm herb fries, which were actually my least favorite, the kobe beef sliders, and the star of the show which was the grilled wings. I opted for the Korean barbecue sauce and it was spicy and sweet at the same time. I would definitely suggest this adorable little bar. read more

Great service, food, staff. No place I'd rather be. True Milwaukee atmosphere. Always enjoy the food and staff

I think the fried chicken at Neighborhood Draft may be my favorite in Milwaukee - the not so friendly sauce is definitely a stand out accompaniment. We also had a Brisket Grilled Cheese which was delish. Sat at the bar on a snowy night and enjoyed a cozy time. read more

My favorite wing spot in the city. They have a variety of sauces but honestly you can do no wrong on the menu. They have great shareable plates like their Fried fish bites (served everyday) and their salads are always fresh and really tasty. Their staff is extremely welcoming and happy to share some of the new menu items as well as their favorites as well. The space is cozy so if you have a larger group I believe that can accommodate if you give them a heads up and call ahead. The wings are the star of the show - always really flavorful, tangy, and have a really good char and crunch to them yet super juicy. Brance is always such a good time and really insightful around sports and many of the random things he's passionate about. Really good gem within the neighborhood. read more

First time at Neighborhood Draft. A group of my friends went on a Wednesday night and it was packed! Luckily we were greeted and seated right away. Its not a very large place - about 10ish tables + bar seating. Lots of TVs to watch sports. I love a good bar with a good tap list and they had just that. They have a good variety of 21 beers on tap - most of them local! I was actually surprised at their reasonable prices for their food. We split the fried pickles which were fried pickle chips and were hands down the best fried pickles I've ever had. Very lightly breaded and served with ranch. The grilled wings are where it's at though. You get 10 wings with 1 sauce per order - they have about 10 sauces to choose from. And the wings are huge! I had the carolina sauce which had a great flavor and wasn't overly saucy. Comes served with carrots, ranch, and a mustard sauce. Everyone else with me had great things to say about their food from the brisket grilled cheese to the French onion soup and the fried chicken. Our server was very attentive and checked on our table several times. We heard there's a garden patio in the back so can't wait to come back and check this place out in the summer! Highly recommend! read more

This was the new restaurant of the week and a long time bookmark and I finally made it over for a cocktail and some food. The place is a nice looking neighborhood bar/restaurant with a overhead glass door, nice bar and dining room. I ordered a Gin Rickey and the fish fry with the friendly bar tender. The tables have clip boards with menus so I didn't know if this was one of those places where you fill out the menu and turn it in but no pens anywhere so I go to the bar and I ask and he says no I will come to your table. The gin Rickey was good with a nice presentation. The two piece fish fry with potato pancakes looked good and the potato pancakes look homemade. The fish was flaky beer battered cod and not huge pieces hence the $11. The cod was tender with a thin crunchy batter. OMG the potato pancakes are homemade with a crunchy shell and a soft potato center. The tarter sauce was very average. No rye bread which was odd for a WI Friday fish fry. I had to ask about the potato pancakes and yes they are made in house weekly I was told. The fish fry is on the every day menu which is nice to know because maybe Monday I want a fish fry. Overall this was a decent fish fry and serving homemade potato pancakes was the icing on the cake because few places serve them when frozen is the norm. read more

Neighborhood Draft is an unexpected delight. I've been here on a few occasions--for drinks, for apps, and for lunch--it's great for all. On all visits, if the weather is at all cooperative, I'd recommend sitting on their patio. It's in the back. You can either walk through the bar/restaurant to it or take the side gate directly there from outside. Either way, it's lovely and I highly recommend. Most recently, I visited for lunch. I ordered their beet salad, which is outstanding. It's incredibly fresh and flavorful. I also got an order of their greek fried. These I didn't enjoy as much. They weren't crispy or flavorful at all and had a cardboard-like quality. The dipping sauce was good but it wasn't enough to make up for the lackluster fries (not sure if it was just an off day?). Their beer list is wonderful. I enjoyed a stout with my lunch. The service is also wonderful! Get to it! read more

Let me start by saying the food was good. No issues there at all. Walking up to the entrance, the place had that familiar "Drink Wisconsinably" look and feel. Our first impression was genuinely positive, and we honestly thought we had found a new spot to add to our rotation. Which is what makes this review difficult to write. At the end of the day, good food, good drinks, and good times are what these reviews should be about. Unfortunately, that's not how this visit went. My wife and I stopped in midday on our day off, looking for a new bar experience. Admittedly, we were planning to do some heavy day drinking lol..... Based on the reviews, we expected a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Instead, within the first five minutes of entering, we experienced what I can only describe as the most "unwelcoming" bar experience I've ever encountered. Walking in the door, we sat at the bar and there was not so much as a greeting from the bartender. We were then met with lingering, uncomfortable stares. The bartender's demeanor was very sharp, and somewhat aggressive. He was noticeably irritated, and seemed what I can only describe as completely uninterested in serving us and he wasn't subtle about it. The energy at the bar made it very clear that we were not welcome. I do not say this lightly, nor do I rush to this kind of conclusion. But if the phrase "YOUR KIND IS NOT WELCOME HERE" had a face. This experience would be it. As professionals with a day off, spending our hard earned dollar. Our initial instinct was to get TF up and leave immediately--but something in me refused to let this kind of blatant disregard for common decency go unacknowledged. I stayed because I knew he did not want "our kind" there. So, I felt the need to milk the Bartender obvious discontent dry. Having said that, it's still extremely disheartening to know that in 2026, ignorant moments like this still occur--where ignorance overrides basic decency. I know some will disagree with my interpretation, and that's perfectly fine. As I said before, this review does not come lightly. But I know what we felt, and I know what we experienced in real time. I see the many positive reviews regarding this place, and I don't dispute that others may have had great experiences. The reviews are the reason we decided to stop in... On that note, all I can hope is that the bartender was simply having a bad day. But, intent or bad day aside, impact matters--and the impact of this visit was deeply disturbing, and very unpleasant. It was not hard to notice that the racial overtures and uneasiness of us sitting there, was on full display. Full disclosure, my thoughts on this aren't rash or impulsive. I waited several days before writing this review. I wanted time to reflect, calm down, and to make sure I was being fair and thoughtful. All said, I'm still not entirely sure how to categorize this experience and I want to be measured in my wording. So I'll hold back from using full blown inflammatory remarks such as "racist". But I would be doing myself a disservice if I didn't share the reality of what my Wife and I experienced @ the Neighborhood Draft on that day and for those reasons, we won't be returning. Regardless of how good the food might be. Always remember "People never forget how you made them feel! read more

Of late, I've had consistently good food at this very popular "neighborhood" bar. A low key place but very comfortable. Though not promoted as a sports bar, each time there has been a game /sports event when there, the TV's behind the far are tuned in. There are a dozen or more tappers (see my pic) behind the long bar and an array of normal booze as well as high-end spirits. Everyone I've ever been served by here is friendly and accommodating. Of late, Brant was my bartender and server; a very efficient, friendly and excellent mixologist. The fried chicken and chicken wing choices here are outstanding. Owner Brian Felton has the family background and know-how to make fried chicken (see my pic) at its best, so if this is your first time going, try the chicken! read more

Great ham sandwich special on sundays. Staff is great great place to chill and watch golf if you're into that.

These are hands down the best wings, both bone-in and boneless. The sauce selection is awesome, so there's something for everyone. Service has always been good whether I'm eating in or picking up takeout. The place gets pretty lively on game days, which is great if you're into that. If not, just check if there's a game on before you go. It's way more chill when there's nothing playing. 10/10 -- highly recommend for any wing fan. read more

I am 5 minutes away and have drove past this place more times you can shake a stick at and thought it was about time to check the place out especially with the good things I've heard about it. Me and a girlfriend of mine stopped here for dinner this past Friday and it was nice to try something new for a change. It's not a big place, but it is warm and intimate. It was busy so we were in luck and was able to score two seats at the bar. One of the things I did look forward to was the mystery beer machine but was informed that it's out of commission and I was a little bummed, but what made up for it was the Coor's Banquet. I believe this is the first time I ever seen it served in the glass bottles in a restaurant which made me happy. Me and my friend both went with the 2-piece beer battered fish fry. For me I went with fries for my potato and my friend chose the potato pancake. The fish was nice and flaky and the fish was lightly battered. As mentioned in previous fish dinner reviews, I am not a tartar sauce person so I was happy with the provided lemon slices but thought this fish can use some malt vinegar. They didn't have any bottles of it but the guy behind the bar was accommodating and went to the kitchen to get me a little sauce up with some. Also not to mention the fries were hot and crispy and the buttered rye bread. For the price and quality it was worth it. I just know in the future to get here early especially on a Friday and will be back for the chicken dinner. read more

This place is too legit to quit! Everytime I visit, I fall in love with it a little bit more. The service is always stellar and I can't get enough of the wings, the fish sandwich and the housemade chips. Beer selection is on point and parking is usually pretty easy and close by. If you haven't been to this joint yet, what are you waiting for? read more

Been wanting to leave a review for this spot for quite awhile. I bowl in a league at Highland Lanes from October-March and after bowling we usually go to Neighborhood Draft for dinner and drinks. I've had most of everything on the menu but let me tell you this. If you come here you must try the Rueben rolls and the Fish sandwich. Wings are wings. Yes they have fantastic boneless and grilled bone in wings with homemade sauces, but I have been more impressed by their other items on the menu. Oh, and they make really good cocktails as well. A bonus, there is usually never a wait or a long wait for a table either. read more

So I just had the best Caesar salad. I'm new to Milwaukee and I've been hunting for a home made dressing with flavor and crispness. This place did it. I added their famous chicken to the top and literally it's the best dinner I've had in ages. Come for the salad. Eat the chicken. #guiltfree. read more

Great food - Kobe sliders, McDowell fish, boneless wings - all delicious. Friendly service. Cute little neighborhood bar and pub.

Great place, easy neighborhood vibe with great food, menu and service. Husband had the fried chicken which he said was excellent. I had the fish bites and they were great too. Tons of beer options plus a few other choices. Highly recommend. read more

Met up with friends and heard to get there early for a table. Busy place on a Saturday night. The wings were amazing. The table had both bone-in and boneless with two sauces and everyone loved what they had. We also had the steak fries and tagine fries. I wasn't a huge fan of either fries but others in the group were raving about the tagine fries. The wings did it for me. Perfectly crispy with a side of sauce for extra dunking. We were given room to catch up but also had a few servers checking in for drinks and things. May have a wait but it's worth it. read more

Really solid. I tried some wings and the brisket gilled cheese. The gilled cheese was just ok. It needs something else to elevate the flavor profile, imo. The wings were really good. I'd like to try more of their wing sauces and some of their other offerings. read more

My husband and I were here last night and a somewhat angry guy who might've been the manager (he was running all over the place) sat us at a table inside since the patio was booked. It was a nice night so this place was crazy busy. It was also therefore incredibly noisy. Case in point, the woman at the next table was wearing noise canceling headphones!!! I kid you not. And then apparently we were invisible because the only two waitresses in the place kept ignoring us so after 15 minutes of that we just got up and left. It's too bad too because my husband really wanted to try out this place but I think you have to be much younger to enjoy it. read more

Good food, cool place, but the bartender was inexplicably very unpleasant to my daughter and I. Won't be back anytime soon. Unfortunate.

Best wings in Milwaukee! Buff garlic is my favorite. I love the sweet potato fries, too!

I gave it four shots before giving up - I really wanted to love a local little spot I could walk to for dinner and drinks, but it just was really bad every time I tried. The first time we had half an hour to wait for dinner, which is fine. The seating is strange with a large hightop kind of counter smack in the middle where we were getting nudged and bumped the whole time. I ordered an item I haven't seen on their menu since; the server described it to me as a sort of shepherd's pie with potato, meat, and vegetables. It really was a pile of dry fries with barely melted shredded cheese and some random sour cream blobs. I had a couple of bites and didn't even take it home. The second time I tried the Kobe beef sliders and again, barely finished one. It was SO DRY. There were a couple of 'stout onions' and again the slice of cheese was barely melted, which offered no relief to the overcooked meat and dried-out buns. Didn't bring the leftovers home. The third time we went for beer and wings. I haven't heard a whisper of negativity towards the wings and was super excited. The one star is for the wings - they are large and tasty. The sauces weren't very flavorful though, and for $15 per 10 wings, it just wasn't worth it to me. Last time was THE last time. I had a prime rib french dip sandwich to go from the Bastille Days block party. I got home and they had neglected to include the dipping jus, so I had a dry bun with dry meat slices. I just pulled it apart and ate it. Cut to 3:00 am and let me just say it was a couple hours of misery - I'll leave it to the imagination. After being so sick from the last visit, and having no other redeeming visits, I am sad to say I won't be back. read more

Yup, totally get it. The wings are killer good. Grilled and flavored and tender. Pub itself is casual and dark, so come as you are happy and order a pint to wash down the spice. Also, I would put this up against a few other popular wing joints in town and would argue that these wings are far superior. read more

We stopped in for a quick bite and a cocktail last night. The food was, as usual, great, service was good, and the Old Milwaukee half quarts were frosty cold. The brisket cheese sandwich is really good, as is the fried chicken dinner. In past visits, I have had the wings, which are really good. The only issue we had, and not really the staff's fault, were two patrons who were so loud, you could hear their high pitched voices and cackles all the way out on the street. Granted, it's a small room, but had it not been for them, we would have stayed, had a few more adult beverages and watch some college football. read more

Wings were just ok. Service was super friendly and nice. Picked up to go, but the vibe was kinda cute when I walked in.
