Had brunch here at the end of December; party of six. We sat in a back room; it was quiet and our service was great. Food was great. Chicken wings, a fried chicken sandwich, loaded fries, pulled pork Benedict and the most amazing Bloody Mary. Everyone loved their meals. We have talked about going back to O'Lydia's soon! read more

I've been to O'Lydias quite a few times that I'm surprised that I haven't written a review! I like O'Lydias a lot; outside from being a pub, they are a nice stopping point for shuttle rides during the summertime; for Summerfest and I believe for baseball games! But they also have some good food! I've been here casually and for events. They have room in the back of the bar for private events, which is nice. I've had the pleasure of trying their mozz sticks, sliders and wings! All really good. I don't live the potato skins but that is probably more to do with preference than anything. I hear they also do prime rib on Saturdays which I'm looking to have one of these weekends. The staff are super friendly; street parking. I'll for sure be returning. read more

Great for brunch, their burger and burger special, salads, meetups with friends, a pint before taking the shuttle to Bucks and Brewers games! Bartenders and patrons are friendly, but O'Lydia's is restaurant and bar. There's an indoor atrium patio and an outdoor patio in seasonal months. Milwaukee restaurants and bars are seeing some tough times, so don't let O'Lydia's be the next, with you saying online "I haven't been there in years!" Give it another look! read more

I love their bloody mary. Great energy to watch a game but can get really packed. Even when busy though, the bartenders are fast! Wings are good and on special on Wednesdays - we like most of the sauces but the dry rubs are hit or miss for me. They also always have great soup. read more

We stopped here for an amazing fish fry! The batter was so crunchy but not burnt! It was a little crowded on a Friday night, but what do you expect when they have excellent fish!! read more

My neighborhood bar, O'Lydia's never disappoints. When I can't make a decision on where to go, I know O'Lydia's will never let me down! They have full menu, great fish fry, and always a good selection of soups! Wait staff and bartenders are friendly, even whipping up drinks they don't always know when I'm craving a little something. They offer shuttles to summerfest, Bucks and Brewers games, and area also a stop on the Walkers point Putt Putt. O'Lydia's constantly has a lot to offer. read more

I finally made my way to O Lydia's. I've passed this bar so many times and this was the first time I finally made my way. O Lydia's is your typical Irish bar interior included. We were lucky that they still had the kitchen open apparently it stays open until 1am so this is the best place for a late night bite and some drinks. We had a larger group with us and our server was great, delivered our drinks quickly and food came out fast. We got the chicken strips and they are some solid bar food chicken strips I would definitely come back. read more

My husband and I decided to visit O'Lydias last week for the first time. The food was good however the service was terrible. I believe our servers name was Stacy and she had a bad attitude the entire time we were eating. From the moment we sat down I caught her rolling her eyes like if she was irritated at the fact that she had to serve another table. The entire time we felt rushed and not welcomed. The worse part is when we overheard her talking with another server about a previous table had only tipped 20% rather than a "good tip". We understand how some days can be very busy and tiring however this was unacceptable. read more

Me and my lovely wife that's from Memphis and it's our first time eating here... our bartender Christopher was being very rushy and rude on the menu cuz he says he got to attend other ppl when it was only 6 ppl at the bar... then it took him 15 mins just to give us a cup of water we had repeat asking for it..Then we order wings my wife can't eat hot food she ask for garlic parm she got out wings it was spicy.. he waited until we got our food and said all the sauce are spicy.. bartender attentiveness was very shitty really felt like a burden more than a guest read more

Olydias should win an award for having their kitchen open past 10pm. Chicken tenders were hot, crisp, and delicious. Our waiter was fantastic and had jokes to match our own. There was a slight error on the bill they fixed it without problem. Drinks were quick and great. Olydias is a great stop. read more

I enjoyed the fried shrimp which was also a good value. The service was friendly & pleasant and my fellow guests enjoyed their fare as well.

I will definite continue to go to O'Lydia's for the ambiance and great drinks, but I'm not sure I will make it a priority for food. The servers were extremely friendly and we were seated right next to the kitchen, so we almost received other table's food quite a few times, but it became and ongoing bit with the food runner which was fun for us! I had the chili and the Caesar salad. The chili was really good and had some heat to it. I would not order the Caesar if you are not someone who likes a fishy Caesar dressing. It is usually not my preference and the lettuce wasn't too crispy, so I would not order it again. I really liked the chili and would absolutely order it again! read more

Great stop for dinner on a Friday. Just missed happy hour but will definitely stop another time for some good deals. Our server was friendly and very prompt to check on us throughout the night. The menu is a little off than what they have online by like $1 or $2 across the board. Otherwise, they have what you would expect from an Irish pub. Decently busy that night but still a spacious dining area on the back side of the bar. We got burgers, fish fry and an Irish dip sandwich. The sides were pretty greasy (fries and brussel sprouts) but the rest was good. Plenty of space and parking available so this is always a great option for us. Will come back, probably for happy hour! read more

I've been to O'Lydia's a handful of times now and I consistently enjoy it. Is it the best food you'll find in Milwaukee? No. But it's a little bit dive-y, a little bit cozy, and it's got some really comforting dishes on the menu. This time around, I went for the Irish beef over mashed potatoes. During my last visit, I overheard someone order it without even consulting the menu to evaluate the other options. Their status as a regular and the confidence and enthusiasm for which they placed their order confirmed for me that I must try it. And what an absolute delight it was. It felt like your favorite homemade Sunday roast. I'll be honest, the Guinness gravy did give me pause when I saw it on the menu. But I shouldn't have questioned it! The gravy added a silky, sauciness that elevated the whole experience. The pickles were weird though. Didn't think they were worth putting on the plate. My last few visits I've tried a variety of dishes like the Irish dip sandwich (would highly recommend) and the Wisconsin cheddar mac and cheese (decent, but there's better out there). If you're gonna get fries as a side, go with the hand-cut ones instead of the sweet potato. While the hand-cut fries are rustic and hearty and just crispy enough with a kiss of flaky salt, the sweet potato fries are over seasoned and sometimes hard to choke down. The price point is reasonable, the service is consistently good, and the Thursday night trivia is oh so fun. I know I'll be returning. read more

Great atmosphere and great service! My go to place! I love coming for a beer and watch a game, hang with friends, or play games.

Dive bar atmosphere with a great late night menu. Stopped in for some drinks and decided to order the Reuben and mozzarella rolls (they come in orders of four, six or eight). we did 6, three Rubens and three mozzarella's. They were excellent! Honestly, can't tell you which ones I like better. The inside was packed and the outside was wonton, very light and crunchy. Loved the dipping sauce (nothing special... thousand island and marina... but they hit the spot!). Our waitress was excellent. Friendly, funny and supper cool. Had fun, glad we stopped in. read more

If they have been around for the last 13 years I have driven past them over a 1000 times and I never stopped because it looks small and fills easily on the weekends was my impression. A coworker recommended this place for brunch so I got there before the opened for in front parking and the doors were open so I grabbed a table knowing that nothing will happen for 10 minutes. My impression was completely right because the place filled up in the first 30 minutes. This place has a lot of old school charm with wood floors, nice wood bar and exposed brick walls. I started with a Bloody Mary spicy which was garnished nicely, full meat stick and was good. The chicken fried steak sounded good and sounded house made so that's my order. The chicken fried steak was obviously a real one given the shape with two eggs, biscuit topped with country grave, house potato my servers suggestion and cute fruit bowl. My service was excellent by the way. The country fried real steak was nice because 99% are the frozen food service kind, it only comes well done topped with chunky country gravy. The potato suggestion was right on and complemented the steak, meat and potatoes. The eggs were cooked perfect sunny side up. The biscuit had that signature southern taste topped with more gravy. The fruit bowl is obvious a signature thing because everyone's meal came with one which was pineapple and watermelon, just a nice touch. Overall it's a nice brunch spot and I completely see its popularity because the food and service is great. read more

We decided to go there before our show. My two friends and I ordered three fish fries. Two of us ordered baked and one of us ordered fried. The baked fish was watery and flavorless. My other friend ordered the fried cod fish. Her fish was greasy. The french fries were very greasy. We got done and the waitress was asking us to pay the bill every ten minutes. She was right out rude. I understand that they are busy but this is inappropriate. She was argumentative and disrespectful. Her name was Stacy. The manager wasn't very understanding either when we informed him of the situation. I know they have a difficult time finding waitresses.... but without customers returning you won't need waitresses. read more

We drove into Milwaukee from Dayton Ohio. Choices were limited and this place was within walking distance. I don't feel like my review would truly do this place justice because it was super busy with concert traffic. We had Rueben rolls and a couple of drinks. Everyone was nice and doing their best to keep a standing room only crowd happy. read more

Came here for fish fry. So glad they offer baked cod! The baked cod was tasty. I ordered it with sweet potato fries. Love the seasonings on the fries. So addictive. Service was excellent, Will definitely come back! read more

Popular Irish pub in the Walkers point neighborhood. This place gets very busy during events happening in Milwaukee, like Brewers, Bucks and Summerfest. They offer shuttles to all the major events going around and people seem to favor this pub over many others in the area. They offer game day specials for Packer games, including onion rings, cheese curds and wings. They offer a number of different flavors. I went with the 6 bone-in buffalo style wings and they were decent. I've tried other food here, and it is your typical, standard pub fare. Side note: they used to do a free buffet spread during halftime of Packer games, but they stopped doing this awhile ago. The main bar in front tends to fill up quick so you might be exiled to the back bar area which has lots of windows, and there is an outdoor patio as well. Be prepared to have your eardrums rattled by the many trains and their squeaky brakes that pass along the tracks virtually above you when in the back part of the pub. read more

They have some of the best wings! Wednesdays are their wings night. They have a variety of flavors. Unfortunately you cannot take wings to go but I get it because it's their most popular night. Friendly service and the ambiance is a mixture of young and older crowd. They also have shuttles for Brewer games. read more

I've never been disappointed with O'Lydia's . From the delicious food to the fast and friendly service, everything is excellent. This time I got the Shepherd's Pie and every bite was scrumptious. No wonder this one is a hit! It is advertised as having peas in it, but there were no peas in sight. Instead, tender pot roast made with a garlicky Guinness gravy mixed with a mirepoix of softened celery, onion and carrots in tiny pieces. Serving it with toasted garlic focaccia bread was a genius idea. I couldn't stop eating! And if you get Kimberly for your server you are lucky - she's a gem! read more

WOW is all I have to say about O'Lydias this was the perfect place for my FIANCÉ and I. We stayed right down the street while visiting Milwaukee and visit this place about 5 times during our five day stay. I will have dreams about their Mac and cheese it was probably the best thing that I've ever had in my life. Chloe helped us every time that we stopped in and she was absolutely amazing. Incredibly knowledgeable about everything O'Lydias and even the surrounding areas had to offer. I cannot rave enough about how great this place is. DEFINITELY VISIT! read more

We received Great service prior to the brewers game. We had drinks & sliders, everything was tasty. We took the Shuttle to Miller park and I have to say that the Driver Liz was amazing. Super quick ride there and back, we greatly appreciated it! read more

Fantastic service, good food, nice environment. We called ahead to reserve a table for four at 6:30 pm on a Saturday night. When we arrived we easily found parking and our table was ready to go. We all ordered different versions of the fish fry and some onion rings for the table. Two of us ordered bloodies and one ordered an old fashioned. All good and drinks were really good! On top of that, our server was fantastic! She really stood out time as the best server I've had in a long time. We will definitely be returning! read more

O'Lydia's is a popular Irish bar and grill in Walker's Point. I do not enjoy Irish bars. Most are generic, looking the same in every city and town in the USA. The bars in Dublin are more eclectic than the Irish bars in this country. I also am not a beer or Guiness drinker, and I appreciate the unique. Irish bars are not unique. That being said, everyone else loves O'Lydia's. People poured out of the busses that returned from Brewers games and ran into the bar with reckless abandonment. Our server was great, and handled the crowd with aplomb. Food was the typical pub fare. Close your eyes and you could be anywhere. That makes most people happy. I found the vittles mediocre, and I remember eating a bland Southwestern salad, soggy fries, and some kind of greasy Reuban roll. Yet, my companions ate the heart clogging food with relish, and shoved the stuff down their gullets with satisfaction. So, what do I know? I won't go back to O'Lydia's except with friends who enjoy this kind of place. It's not my flavor, but I would not deny the pleasure to others. Happy slothing. read more

Corner bar vibes with enough space to spread out and dine in. Solid bar food fair, but the cob salad is the best item on the menu. Prices can vary, but their daily specials are always good. They also run a ton of shuttles for various events. Service is usually polite and prompt. I will continue to return. read more

First off, the old menu used to boast a PBR deal on Saturdays - if you look closer, PBRs are always that price regardless of the day. Their steak, Cuban, wings, and cheese curds with the jam were great. We're guessing they have new ownership in 2025 due to updated menus, portion size, and the decline of food quality. This place is not bad, but nowhere near the same quality it recently was; would not recommend to new visitors in Milwaukee. read more

Great food - especially the wings. Friendly service & good prices. Hit this up if you want great bar food and inexpensive drinks.

I absolutely love this place! I stopped in for dinner yesterday and although they are usually busy they somehow have always had tables available when I get there. It's a nice and chill seat yourself vibe. The servers are always kind and helpful. I'm currently pregnant and have very annoyingly specific cravings of what I want and figured I'd ask to see if they could turn their turkey sandwich into a grilled chicken sandwich and add avocado. They accommodated all of this and the end result was delicious! The sandwich was huge and had a large chicken breast grilled to perfection that was super juicy and flavorful. The vegetables on it were fresh and the bread was perfectly toasted but not dry. I expected a decent up charge to go from deli meat turkey to grilled chicken, but there was no extra charge!! Overall great food and great experience. Will definitely continue to come back. read more

You can never go wrong with O'lydias, plenty of seating indoor and outdoor, open until 2am most night, and has a huge selection of food to choose from. I always favor the wings! Been a hot wing spot of mine throughout the years! Always seated quickly, wait staff is always friendly and working hard. O'lydias is usually prwtty busy on the weekends, popular spot to grab food and drinks, lot's of people socializing before sport events, O'lydias is also a shuttle stop that makes trips to Miller Park. Always a good time to sit out on the patio and drink the $5 Margs! Yum! I'll have 3 please. The wings never miss, the Ruebens are delicious, the whole menu is good. Classic milwaukee spot. My only feedback: - wings use to come out in separate boats by flavor and now they come out on plates. The display is nice. However, I ordered two different sauces, and they sort of fused together. And I couldn't tell, which one was which, until I tasted them. -wings have gone up $$$ over the years. Usually cashing out around a $25-30 meal per person including drinks. Little pricey but that never stopped me -if you're sitting on the patio be prepared for the train to come screeching by!! read more
