This was the spot to be at for the World Cup watch parties. They had a bg screen outside with some tables chairs and bleachers. It of course got packed for the more popular games. You could definitely still find a spot to watch the game. They have tv's everywhere. Watch the game while you order your drink, you can mingle there or find a different tv. The energy was always good. I often went to the watch parties myself and I still had a good time being around this atmosphere. I saw the longest lines for the Mexico games. The line was moving so slow I don't even think it was worth waiting in the line when you can see the screen from the street. I loved that they blocked off Brady St for the final and added another big screen! I noticed that they had a double rail mixer special for $8. I asked if this included vodka red bulls . A bartender told me yes and I paid $8. Next time I paid $10. The next, $12. Thats pretty normal for a vodka red bull anyways. I was just t about the double rail mixer and I wish the pricing was more consistent. The drinks were good every time. The service was also good. Overall, I would come watch other soccer games here. I wonder if they play the Liga MX games. I guess I'll find out soon since that already started! read more

Best alcoholic slushies on Brady to be enjoyed in a fun, comfortable, outdoor environment. The outdoor area has ample bathrooms as well as a full service bar and tacos available. The coffee shop is also very good as their coffee and breakfast burritos are both great. read more

Nomad World Pub - Pubs Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Honestly, I rarely venture down to Brady Street, but I was in the neighborhood around happy hour. The service from the bartender was attentive and friendly she greeted me as I sat down. I've experience a range of customer service across Milwaukee bars so I appreciate how good the experience here turned out to be. A bit loud for me but I am very very old. Just a fun bar experience that is a good introduction to Brady. I do love their attached coffee shop which I often order food and coffee from, but i like that you have two options depending on what you are feeling and where you are in the day. read more

great service! awesome customer attention we felt welcomed and appreciated . we also thought the prices were great read more

I went to Nomad today on the recommendation of several people. Everything was wonderful for a while. I arrived at 2:30, an hour and a half early for the England/Norway match in hopes of getting a seat at the bar. I did and sat there for the entirety of the first World Cup match today. The bartender took amazing care of me. Then, one minute before the Argentina/Switzerland match, someone who works at the bar came by and said he had to take my barstool. The same stool I scoped out well before this match. The same stool I'd sat in for the whole England Norway match. Now all of the sudden my barstool was an issue. I think not. I'll be taking my soccer obsessed patronage somewhere else thanks. read more

We went to Nomad after work on a Monday in February because it was 60° out! They had just opened the back bar/patio for the first time this year and we were thankful we were able to soak up a little bit of sun before it set! Then we moved under the "tent" and stayed warm by the heaters. read more

The patio is so cute and warm (they have a ton of heat lamps). Cute decorations. The bartender was so nice and was very attentive. A

After many years patrioning Nomad's, it was finally time to give one of their boozy-slushies a try! We were recently out on their beautiful back patio during a sunny afternoon, and it just sounded good. Let me preface, vodka and redbull are normally *not* my thing but it honestly made for a pretty darn good slushie I have to say. Drink with caution: brain freeze does happen! Certainly didn't need more than one (reached my sugar high), so we switched to the cold draft beer afterwards. I thought the bar staff was real friendly, and the atmosphere is always great here. Summery, beachy, tiki vibes. What's not to like? read more

How can you go to Brady st without stopping into nomads and enjoying the slushees, the sport vibe patios, Brady beach area, and enjoy some street tacos all in one spot! It's. A great place to grab drinks at any time of the day and can't miss it. The slushies could also not be 13$ a pop! Lol read more

Great bar. Love the slushees.

Nomad World Pub - The bouncer in question - Pubs Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

This is THE place to catch all the big soccer (football) games in Milwaukee. Located on the already buzzy Brady St, Nomad has a colorful and huge outdoor patio with a bar and tons of seating. They have lots of TVs and play multiple games at a time so you can be sure if you go you can watch your squad in action (even if they are playing at 6am!). No matter the weather, they have heaters under the bar to keep you fairly warm. They also have part of the street directly off Brady blocked off to add additional seating and during big events (World Cup, Euros etc) they put up a giant video board and bring in food vendors. Its quite a scene! The opened Nomad Coffee Bar next door to accommodate all those early soccer matches. They have boozy drinks, smoothies and a full breakfast and lunch menu! Come with your favorite soccer jersey and get ready to have a great time hanging out at this wonderful East side pub! read more

My husband and I stopped in here for a few drinks while in town. The bartender was super fun and social and the drinks were decent. The decor around the place is definitely cool. It is an outside location and even though it was a bit cold out, the heaters keep you nice and toasty. I enjoyed my time here and would definitely return. read more

Just a heads up, we were there a few weeks ago and while the working staff had masks on, there were about 4 workers who were off shift hanging out at the bar, not distancing, not wearing masks which gave the impression that the Nomad is relaxed about such things. They are not. In general, they're doing a great job. Also, the Nomad Burger is the bomb! A little pricey, but worth it! read more

I love Nomad and always come back here when it's nice outside. It's the perfect place to hangout with friends for a drink and dog friendly which I love. With COVID, they've gotten very strict which is great but the bouncers take their jobs a bit too seriously - to the point of not letting us borrow unused chairs from other tables. They could also staff the bar a bit better, it took awhile to get a drink when it was busy. COVID Precautions: All staff are wearing masks and guests are required to when they aren't eating/drinking. All tables are sanitized in between parties and they are heavily encouraging social distancing and limiting capacity as well. read more

Okay, color me updated. This place is a great, neighborhood bar with puzzles to fiddle with, and books to read. Lots of beers on tap, and SPECIALS. Love the world map on the wall, and the general vibe of this place. Soccer games on the TV. I'm a fan. read more

Long overdue review. During my first time in Milwaukee, I parked my car across the street from the nearby Starbucks, and proceeded to walk down Brady Street to beer crawl. For those first timers in Milwaukee like myself, the Nomad World Pub is one of those venues that you have to stop into first. The confines are a bit small, but okay. Large bar area with plenty of drink & craft beer choices. Great place to watch a game as well, even if you aren't a Packers fan. The IPAs were unbelievably hoppy, yet I would expect no less while in Milwaukee. The bartenders are very laid back and personable. The female bartender that served me (35ish, slender blonde) even recommended other places to pop into while walking on Brady Street. I noted that the bar doesn't serve food. If they do, its usually just snacks. Yet I don't see the reason for it when there are quite a few choices with regard to hot dogs and the like within walking distance. One cool thing that this bar did for me is while keeping my tab open, I walked to another venue to get a couple of hot dogs & fries. I tend to believe that they normally don't do this, yet I felt so comfortable with them that in turn, they felt comfortable with me to return & pay my tab. Of course, it also helps that I left my car keys there as insurance. LOL. Pretty cool place, and close to everything else. Outdoor seating is available, yet very limited. read more

I love this bar but I ordered food from Nomad Burger. They "didn't get my order". 40 minutes later... it was a waste of my time waiting. The bun could not have been dryer, burger had no flavor. read more

Update: unprompted, they opened a brand new bottle of campari for my weird apertif-drinking *** on nfl Sunday (Italian bitter liquors go so much better with packer games then miller lite-come on, people.) So upgrade and a star for making me feel part of the in clique! Original review: The nomad is accurately mentioned as a bar that 30-somethings hang out at.....and it makes me feel like I'm back in high school-- cuz I STILL don't fit it! Yea, I don't no...people seem to love it here, but I always feel awkward and outside the loop here. Not sure why. But you might enjoy urself here, especially if u like soccer. I guess that preix fix is a good deal, but I never smoke. Again, not smoking around the peers--as awkward now as it was in high school. read more

There is only one barista in the coffee shop that knows how to make coffee. The rest give you essentially flavored milk and when you correct them they act and look insulted. Food has been eh and the past 3 visits. Recommend going to rochambo down the street. read more

I love coming here during the summer when it's super nice to just hang out outside. They have a huge patio in the back and blocked off a street to provide even more outside seating. It's nice to casually hang out with a large group of people. read more

Fun and laid back bar to go with friends. They have good reasonably priced drinks. Their special that includes a shot of Jamo, a PBR, and a cigarette seems to be very popular -- However, i don't really like encouraging smoking of cigarettes though. Fun music on a Saturday night -- a bunch of 30 something's loved the Backstreet Boys, Hanson, and other nostalgic music! The main floor is more of the party and sanding floor where upstairs is a bit laid back but still fun! Fun bar on Brady! read more

Love the burger shack! Decent prices and great food. Only downfall is their Facebook posts don't always match what they had to offer, but we did test out their tacos and let me tell you the pork was to die for and I don't even like pork. read more

I can't speak to the indoors of this place, but the outdoor patio is awesome. Tons of tables and seating, lots of TV's, a food truck in the back with snacks and EMACULATE bathrooms. Like, one of those bathrooms that you think might suck because its a backyard/bar, but they were so clean. Drinks are good and decently cheap. Bartenders taking shots while you are waiting to be served- not the best look. But, all in all, we will be back! read more

Love that they are a soccer bar and support early morning games. Coffee bar is great. The general staff seems all right but the bartenders have a 'it's my bar attitude' who don't wash their hands and handle money - fruit for drinks, eat behind the bar and regularly drink while working - often working the free drinks/shots for better tip dollars that I have seen them give away - in the service industry we call that stealing. The bar area is dirty - I would not drink anything out of the frozen machines - it's kinda a filthy place - I can only imagine what the kitchen looks like. Clearly no adult ownership in charge.

Sometimes you just wanna good bar! A place that realizes its a bar and doesn't try to infuse anything or mull something and just serves up good drinks in a friendly atmosphere....Nomad is that place. If you like beer you will love Nomad's they have a huge selection....if you like soccer you will love Nomads because they are a soccer bar however I like to go watch the Wisconsin and Packer games there. I will say I love their Bloody Mary's, because they all make them differently. Every time I have been to Nomad I stand there when they are making it and they ask me questions about how I like it and it always tastes different but alway delicious! I have heard the Happy Hour is great it is at 4:00-4:18 Monday through Friday and you can get a drink for 1.00, but I never can get there early enough to try it (Goal for 2017). Nomad's is on a corner on Brady Street across from the Walgreen's, I mean how can you not enjoy Brady Street? It isn't fancy but you feel comfortable as soon as you walk in the door. Every bartender I have had is friendly and great about making sure your drink stays full. I have been upstairs every time I go for private parties but have also frequented the downstairs to get the bar vibe, but I do enjoy the upstairs room. There is a bar and several televisions up there. It can get kind of crowded in the bar but I like being around that kind of atmosphere. Solid place to get the Brady Street feel and a beer in Milwaukee! read more

What's not to like? Twenty-four beers on tap; smiling, gracious bartenders; a charming eclecticity of "world" decor. It's a little more than just a neighborhood place but it does have character: the old wooden floor is scraped to hell but there's a beautiful cappuccino-colored painted tin ceiling. And they seem to be building something in the upstairs, although right now even the stairs to GET upstairs are not finished. Did I mention the twenty-four beers? This is one of the bars where you can get a free pint of Lakefront with a coupon from the Lakefront Brewery tour. Yesterday they were pouring the Riverwest Stein Beer and the Trocadero White. They also have Lagunitas, New Glarus, Guinness and Smithwick's, a handful of Bell's, four mainstream Belgians, and others. Oh, and if you are frugal and/or down on your luck, try the Recession Prix Fix [sic]: one shot of Jameson, one can of Pabst, and one cigarette for five dollars. read more

Let me take a moment to first reflect on things that make me happy: - Puppies playing with rubber balls - Ice cream cones with rainbow sprinkles - Songs with hand clapping solos - The Nomad patio on a summer afternoon Yes, that is right... The Nomad's "patio" is one of those things that always makes me happy. Now, I use the term "patio" loosely... in reality, its no more than a row of plastic chairs lined up along the wall of the building behind a railing. But don't let that description get you down on this venue, its one of the most fun in Milwaukee. Anything is bound to happen! One time when I was sitting on the Nomad patio, I was cornered by a "biker gang". Not a Harley gang... a gang of bicyclists wearing studded spandex riding suits! Another time at the Nomad patio, a group of my friends watched as several drunken ruffians helped a older neighborhood woman mow her lawn... with a manual rotating lawnmower from the 1940s! Another time at the Nomad patio, I participated in one of the most intense games of Pop-o-Matic Trouble ever possible... it almost resulted in a table being flipped! Well, hopefully you get the idea as to how dynamic the Nomad patio is, but in addition to the patio, the bar itself is great too. Some people refer to it as a dive bar, but I would never classify it as such. Yes, it's small, dark and very smokey, but they taken their beer seriously... and it's not all Milwaukee domestics. One of my favorite breweries in America is Magic Hat (out of Vermont) and early this summer I received word that they got a distributor in the Milwaukee area... my heart skipped a beat. When I began to wonder who would actually carry such a unique and interesting beer right away... there was only one answer... The Nomad! I suggest picking up a pint of Magic Hat #9 on tap. In addition to these unique craft brews, the Nomad also has a wide selection of imports in bottles and on tap. These are real beer people. There is also the option of the Prix Fix, but I've never indulged. My Nomad drinking nights are generally too chill to start taking down Jameson. Nomad does also have a weekly trivia night, but I don't recommend it. First of all, the bar gets too smokey for me to focus my intelligence on random bar trivia. Second of all, the trivia game lasts FOREVER. It's about 4 or 5 rounds and it wouldn't surprise me if it lasted from 8 pm until 11pm. it's a marathon. Overall, Nomad is one of my favorite bars in Milwaukee. Its always crowded and anything goes. read more

Nomad World pub? Seemed more like a soccer bar than a place to taste brews from around the world but okay . . . I'll get with the program. The bartenders were quick with a drink. The crowd was young, mostly male and mostly drinking one of the many beers on tap. The most interesting part of this bar? The guy next to me fell asleep at the bar and had to be removed physically from the premises. Yep- that's just the kind of bar this is! read more

Ohhh nomad! We have been through 2 world cups, the copa America and the euro cup together, it is time for me to review our friendship, and yes! I am pleased. If you love soccer, you know what that is about; loud fun, crazy people, no personal space, booze and chants, if you are all about that life, I recommend you to come here! There are a couple more soccer bars in the Milwaukee area, but I just have found that this one might be the only one doing the block party soccer cup finals that I enjoy so much, so you know... More shoving and more sweaty people, am I convincing you yet? Parking tho: be aware it is not that easy during a final, just saying. And no food, but you can bring your own or order and get it delivered to the bar. I really don't have anything bad to say, so if you want to meet some foreigners and get into a never ending soccer argument, definitely come here! read more

I came here back in 2008 for the very first time when I was showing a GF my hometown. We had a pile of Stone Ruination bottles (we drank every bottle in the cooler), shots, and some Milwaukee guy grabbed her boob when I went to the bathroom. Somehow, and I am not sure how really, I bought this stooge a shot for his birthday and told him he could grab my boob, but lay off the lady. We still had a great time! Well, I moved back here sans GF and Brady Street has become like State Street in Madison - it is full of drunk yuppies, college Jay-holes, and every bar I used to go see great bands play at is either gone, re-branded, and I have to stay that Nomad seems a bit more douche baggy than it did in 2008. Now, a place where a guy grabs a girls boob is a bit questionable, but we had such a good time that we both went back to Nomad when visiting Milwaukee - after breaking up. Hmmm? This is the sign of a good bar! I have mixed emotions since I generally love bars of this sort....... so here goes: 1. Beer. They have great beer on tap, and great beer in bottles, plus lots of the cheap stuff for you folks who want to drink beer that was once brewed in Milwaukee. Top notch beer! 2. Scene. The bar is much bigger now with the expansion to the upstairs. The odd stage means that the first floor is often too crowded. So, if the upstairs is closed this is a hyper packed bar - so this makes it feel a bit too crowded most of the time. 3. Clients. I think I like this place best before 10 pm. You can go here and avoid the 20-something jackasses and UWM go-state kids who ask the DJ to play Kei$ha. Really, these girls (Halloween weekend) were demanding that the DJ play "strip club" favorites - and they grinded away and knew all the lyrics. Some great local bands like The Clams did a reunion here so the place can still be Big C Cool. I have seen many places go from cool to not so cool in my time. I used to hang out at Small Bar Chicago in Logan Square and on Division back in the mid 2000's and loved these places, but now, even with 20+ great beers on tap, the Division Street location fills with douche bags and sorority girls on the weekends. The original small bar in Logan has stayed cool. Brady is becoming a tween get drunk street, and I think Nomad is being forced to confront the reality of the situation. Solution: Second Bay View Location! Small Bar Chicago has several locations and you pick the one that fits your mood (I prefer the original location). Nomad needs a Bay View location for the cool oldsters and hipsters to get away from the Jay-holes. Parking sucks in this area, and Milwaukee has crap mass transit so if you are not an east-sider, get here early or plan an hour of time on the bus or 30 minutes on your bike (when the street-bike parking is available this place gets a 4th star - that is COOL). read more

This bar was so much fun! Will definitely be coming back, they have such a great thing going on here. My friends and I took advantage of the outdoor seating since the weather was finally cooperating with us. We were able to smell the food being cooked off in the distance, enjoy the energy being radiated from all the patrons there cheering on the game, and enjoy a relaxing drink out in the sun where we caught a few rays. Not your average sports bar, definitely a great place to check out if you're bar hopping on Brady Street. I have a new place to add to my list of bars to drag my friends to! read more
