Such a great spot! Recently I ate there for the first time in awhile, and it was a wonderful experience. Two friends and I came in for lunch during the week and were quickly seated. Their menu has allll the options- if you're a burger person, they got you. Salads? Yep. Pizza? You bet! The list goes on. I went with the turkey club from the 'handhelds' section and ordered it as a wrap. Plentiful, tasty, and I loved the cranberry aioli! Who knew there was such a thing? Other pros of OnTap: staff are very friendly, their beer garden/patio is huge and so well-kept, and they offer great events like bingo nights, live music, and more.

On Tap is a good lunch/dinner option before events at Fiserv Forum since it's just up the hill to the west of the arena and they were fairly empty on a night in which the Bucks were expecting a large crowd. I ordered the beer battered cheese curds for an appetizer and got mac and cheese topped with chicken tenders for my entree. The cheese curds were great. Clearly homemade and the beer in the batter was subtle. A little greasy, but not too much. The menu said the mac and cheese had a "Wisconsin cheese sauce". Had I thought that meant beer cheese (usually that's indicated), I wouldn't have gotten it. The cheese tasted heavily of beer, which I wasn't a fan of. The tenders on top had a crispy, pleasent tasting breading and helped give me a different flavor to focus on, but I feel like two tenders worth of chicken for $6 is skimpy when the mac and cheese without any add-ons is already $13. This was actually my second visit to On Tap (I don't remember what I had the first time besides the cheese curds). I'll likely return, but won't consider getting the mac and cheese.

Stopped by before an event in the area and we had great service, despite prior reviews saying otherwise. My biggest gripe is parking - if you can find a spot, it's generally free after 6pm, but it can get parked up fast on the surrounding streets. I like the neon beer light coloring on the cream brick and the huge bar. Great space and plenty of room for people. Prices aren't terrible considering what other bars in the area charge. Saw the pizza which looked great - will have to try that next time!

This is a fantastic bar restaurant patio that is connected to the brewhouse Inn and suites in Milwaukee. So much to do you will not find yourself bored at all. From the great food to the amazing cocktails and beers, you should absolutely try out this bar. It has a lovely patio attached as well. Great for groups of friends or on a date night. You cannot go wrong.

This restaurant stands inside part of the PBR factory. They have a lot of signage and pictures but my favorite was the massive Pabst neon sign hanging on the wall. We ordered food right away and split 12 big chicken wings with half in bbq and the other in buffalo sauce. Both flavors are great, but the buffalo was lightly sauced, which was actually okay with me. For my entree, I ordered a bacon burger with cheese and it was pretty good. The bacon tasted smoky, and the burger patty was thick. I really enjoyed their fries. The best I've had to date this year. My friend had the cheesesteak sandwich but he said the Valveeta was a bit too much for him. Other than that, the bread was great and the meat and veggies were paired perfectly. I tried his cheese mashed potatoes and they were pretty good! Their menu selection is great so definitely try some of their apps. I'd definitely give this place another go.

Came during a slower time and the food was served fast. The server was excellent and helped us decide. Loved the fried pickles! The blackened chicken sandwich was very juicy and well seasoned.

GOLD ketchup!

Great. Was served very quickly, lovely waitress Dylann, and staff was very kind and helpful. Dylann recommended some of her favorites, and they didn't disappoint. The blue ribbon burger was EXCEPTIONAL ! The music was snippets from popular songs, an odd choice, but I believe some sort of bingo was being played. Very large portions but my wife and I enjoyed! Would recommend if looking for a big hearty dinner to share and watch some sporting events. Happy St. Patrick's!

Spacious dining room and bar area

Beautiful pub, with high ceilings, cool decor, located in the center of the brewery district. Enjoyed a delicious cheesesteak on a fresh crusty French roll. Portion was a bit small by Milwaukee standards, but tasty, as were the crispy tots. Good, but not spectacular service. Parking is metered, on street.

Really large portion sizes with a few unique offerings and your standard go to's. Fun atmosphere and great beer on tap from local breweries. Highly recommends the honey hot cheese curds!

Dinner decided on a whim and picked On Tap for the first time. It gives off a Bar vibe more than a restaurant, a spot to grab something to eat and watch a game. The service was spot on and quick and the dining area is huge, the place alone is beautiful. If you're looking for a quick bite to eat with friends (or solo) this is def the spot to checkout.

The Pabst Blue ribbon burger & Fish Sandwich

5 Star place for brunch or lunch! The food was awesome! Our waitress Jo was so upbeat and pleasant. Excellent service. In addition we had a DJ playing happy upbeat music (Every Sunday afternoon!) You could not help but be in a good mood by the time you leave there! Thanks "On Tap" for a first time experience. It will not be the last time!

Nice casual spot to drink and eat some bar food, especially if you're in the area for a Pabst tour or staying at the Brewhouse Inn, otherwise not worth going out of your way to get here. Very friendly waitress and bartenders. Nothing fancy, yet not dive, but relaxed and comfy. $18 Giant Pretzel, served with Spinach & Artichoke Dip, Beer Cheese, and Honey Mustard...a very good, big, thick pretzel! Just seemed a bit overpriced. $17 Milly Cheesesteak...Prime Rib, Peppers, and Onions on a French Baguette, Smothered in PBR Beer Cheese and America's Finest Sliced Cheese...fatty, cheesy, meaty, and delicious!

Stopped in for drinks since this place was closed the last time I was in town. The spot is beautiful. Horrible service. Bartender didn't greet us or introduce himself, just said "are you having food drinks or both". He never made eye contact or acknowledged us as we ordered, legit was like talking to a wall. What was strange was he asked us about opening a tab took our card and kept it. When we closed out the second bartender said that was strange and wondered if that was a new thing because he said it wasn't necessary. I only give it two stars because his relieving bartender was very friendly and if he was our first encounter my review might have been very different. Will not be stopping back in here.

We got lucky and had bar seats open up after about 5 minutes which allowed us to grab cocktails and relax. After a bit we ordered some Brussel sprouts as an appetitizer and before they could show up our table opened up. My wife chose the 2 piece cod fry with chips while I opted for the perch fry with fries. Everything was spectacular. The bartenders were jumping around each other to keep people happy at the bar and the rest of the staff get people's bellies filled with food. If you go keep in mind there are no reservations and will probably be a wait, but they will take great care of you and serve you some awesome fish!

I surprisingly don't have many options in my "MKE - Fish Fry" collection that are near downtown, but Swinging Door Exchange was one of them. I was pressed for time, so I placed a to go order rather than dining in. I got the combo fish fry (two pieces of cod, two pieces of perch, and three fried shrimp) with potato pancakes. I was also very easily talked into the half rack rib appetizer. The ribs were good, even though I prefer sauce that's more sweet and smokey. Their sauce was on the tangy side with a tease of spice that really only became noticeable when the majority of the half rack was gone. If I were in the mood for ribs as my main meal, I'd consider getting theirs as an entree. The two potato pancakes weren't homemade; instead, they were premade hash brown patties that some other restaurants also serve with their fish frys. These were perfectly acceptable in lieu of homemade pancakes. The cod tasted great, but the breading didn't hold up very well. Either the fish itself was too wet or the two block walk back to my car allowed for condensation to wreck it or possibly both. The perch was not yellow lake perch but probably something like pike perch. Even though both kinds of fish and the shrimp were all good sized portions, $29 feels like a lot. I wouldn't say no to it, though, if I were dining in next time and avoid the extra cost of their takeout fee. Shout-out to the bartenders working that night. The bar area was absolutely packed, but both of the ones I talked to about placing my order were friendly and helpful even with being super busy.

They asked me how spicy I wanted it, and I said medium, which I think they nailed. This was one of the best Bloodies I've had in town!
