    Definitely some of the best bar food in Milwaukee! They have an inhouse farm so veggies are always fresh and meat is brought in daily from a local shop.

I loved the concept of District Fore, it was like Topgolf meets arcade meets backyard cookout. They offered many different games, such as a golf simulator, darts, and more. They usually only allow customers to rent out a game room in hour-long increments, but we were able to pay for a half hour of darts because we only had that much time before we had to leave for our event. I really appreciated the hospitality from all the staff during my visit to District Fore! We didn't eat dinner at District Fore, so I only got to try the cheese curds. They were so buttery and crispy, and the cheese pulls rivaled those of the Chili's mozzarella sticks! They were also much bigger in size than other cheese curds I have had during my time in Milwaukee. One order of the cheese curds appetizer was the perfect size to share between the four of us. I would love to see a District Fore Social open in my hometown, because I would definitely love to go back!

Made our experience super easy and perfectly pleasant. Grilled wings Ooh, these were perfectly grilled. Very tasty sauce (hot honey garlic, at Thomas' recommendation) that wasn't overdone or underdone - just the right amount. I usually get my wings naked because so many places go wrong with the amount of sauce (usually just too drenched), but since we were on a timeline tonight, we just ordered without asking for anything else. So glad we did! By the way, not fried wings, so not super crunchy on the outside but still crispy and not at all soggy. And super moist, perfect temp inside. Tap Guinness Perfectly poured with just the right amount of cream on top. Hany is usually an IPA man, and went Guinness this time and did not regret it! Overall, this place is a little bit further away than the new hopping bars on the Deer District. I wanted to try the new places, so kept on trying them while hubby wanted to keep coming back here... and I'm glad we did this time. Sometimes new is good, but they've got it right here - I don't have to keep searching! Oh just one thing - all the TVs in the bar, and they have to play 60 minutes? Without captions? lol

We just wanted a drink and a quick bite to eat and being during a baseball game, lots of places in the area were busy. There was a good crowd there watching the game as well. It's an interesting setup, reminds me almost of a living room (with dining tables) and then the small bar area is to the side. To order food, you do it through two wall kiosks which I like because you can look at options and not feel rushed unless there's a line. Outside they have tables and a tv as well. I choose a veggie sandwich which had a good kick to it! The smaller size was good enough for me. It was a bit confusing how to get your food, from what we understood, you have to go through a door to get to the kitchen window (bathrooms are that way too) but no one calls your order number or anything. I'd suggest an improvement on that way you know your food is ready or maybe we missed something. Overall, I would return and would like to try other items on the menu!

The space feels refreshed while still keeping that classic sports bar vibe. We were invited to a birthday party that happened to fall on the same night as a Packers playoff game, so the place was absolutely packed. Parking was scarce, and we ended up parking several blocks away. That said, the setup for the party was great--we had our own area with plenty of TVs to watch the game and reserved tables facing the front of the bar. Pizza was served for the party (we didn't try it), but it looked good--cheesy with a thin crust. We ordered a patty melt and a cheese curd burger, and both were excellent and very large portions. Service was good, especially considering how extremely busy it was. I'd definitely come back on a calmer day or night to try more of the food. Overall, it has a cool sports ambiance with solid food and is a fun spot for game day--just be prepared for crowds during big events.

You do have to place your food order at the bar, which is kind of a downer. It isn't a traditional restaurant but more of a bar that serves food. The bartender was very friendly and took our order quickly. The burger patties were great. A bit thicker than traditional smash burger patties but were cheesy, flavorful and juicy. The fries were awesome and plentiful. You can get a dusting of flavor on your fries and I got lemon pepper on mine. My only "complaint" for the burger is the brioche style bun is a bit overpowering and too much bread for the burger. I ended up just eating the patties, but this is my personal opinion. They had a cooler with self serve water which is what we chose m. Again, not a traditional waitstaff butt we were checked on after we got our food. Plenty of indoor seating, booths, tables etc. they also have arcade games, plenty of beer on tap and lots of drink specials. Give this place a try!
