    Great place for a drink! Super large space with a unique atmosphere that's also dog friendly! Only downside was parking. The lot isn't big enough to accommodate the large number of people there, so we had to park in a gravel lot behind the paved one.

    I would give this place 5/5 if they had more wine options. They have tons of beer obviously which my husband loves. We went to granny bingo on a Sunday afternoon and it was so fun! They had different food trucks which included a BBQ truck and a Mexican food truck. The wait line to get drinks was long. I wish they had servers to come around so you didnt have to wait in line. It is so cute because people bring their dogs and it is just a fun atmosphere.

    We were in town for Thanksgiving and needed to get out of the house, so we headed over to Ope! Plenty of parking available in attached lot! They don't serve food but Chucho's Red Taco truck seemed like a permanent food truck serving up Mexican and American classics. The interior of Ope is quite large and was perfect for our family of ten to hang out together. Fun and eclectic decorations fill out the space. Counter service was very fast and friendly! I had the "Can I Pet Your Dog?" which was their Amber ale! Perfect for fall, while being light enough to crush a few! Extra points for coming in a fun glass. I also tasted my partner's "Perfect Screwdriver" which was delicious, and I don't care for IPAs. A lovely orange juice-inspired beer with just a subtle hop kick at the end. We would definitely come back, especially during the summer to check out the patio!

    Fantastic hang out place and they allow dogs!!! Omg, I asked, can I pet your dog so many times, so fun!! Great selection of drinks with a wide range of places to sit inside and out. They also have an outdoor bar area with lots of different types of seating, some are covered. A large area to play bags/corn hole. Only wish they served food, they had food trucks on site-we didn't order from them though. Fun signs, merch and they host events like trivia.

    Absolutely love this place. Walking in, most of the time they have a live band cranking out great tunes, loud, but not too loud where it hurts your ears or your dogs. Awesome and huge beer selection on tap! This place is massive with an inside bar and outside bar, the outside also has multiple volleyball courts, people were playing bean bags, and i probably missed more. We sat outside the whole time listening to the band, in the sun, with dogs and people that were super friendly everywhere. Everything was clean as could be from the floors to the bathrooms. Food trucks were there with great tasting tacos and bbq as well! We drove over an hour away just to come, and can't wait to do it all over again.

    Love this place. One of our local hangouts with an amazing beer selection. The staff is great and very friendly. We aren't dog owners but this is a dog friendly brewery so we can get our fill of dogs while we're here. Red Taco is always onsite and offer a good selection of authentic Mexican food.

    This place has quickly become a West Allis establishment. Situated in an up and coming part of the city, right by the farmers market, Ope! is a great place to get good beer, enjoy a fantastic atmosphere, and even bring your favorite four-legged friend! Always fabulous service as well.

    Had I known about the food truck beforehand, this would have been an even better visit. They have a great selection which includes a fair amount of IPAs. Prices are reasonable. The open space made it a little chilly so maybe layer up if you're coming in the winter months. Definitely plan on stopping back during a farmers market day to grab some brews and eat some tacos!

    Tl;dr Give me an awesome place where kids and dogs are welcome and you've got a regular in me! So my husband and I recently had twins and they're a little over a year old. Anything new parents can do to run and eat something great or drink something great outside of a "nap window" is a rare golden moment indeed. Ope Brewing has an amazing space and it's very openly accepting of real babies and fur babies. The place is always hopping and has their own lines of not just beer, but hard seltzers as well. Since it's colder and winter now, I definitely gravitate toward a dessert slow sipping type of beer, like the decadent Brown Chicken Brown Cow. My husband really liked A Stop and A Score which was an oatmeal porter with almond. Some beers are seasonal though, so you might as well check the website before you get sad if they're not still there. Also, all of the beer names are hilarious and always give a great nod to Wisconsin - I mean even the bar name itself is perfect, if you haven't awkwardly ran into a coworker or stranger in a hallway or aisle and haven't given an "OPE" then what are you doing here? They are always running fun specialities, whether that's trivia or special holiday-related events, the stage is always empty when I'm there, but I know they must have some fun shows! You'll probably find me there on Sundays between 4-6ish chasing around one to two toddlers while REALLY enjoying a beer. Cheers!

    Have admired Ope's beer wherever I've had them and loved my visit to their taproom this past summer. It's large, with lots of space, and dog friendly. There happened to be a gaming tournament going on that afternoon and what a great thing to have in the taproom, building community. Kudos to Ope! who recently won many awards for their seltzers. I can't wait to get back here to try those and their wonderful beer. Ope! I'll just leave this review here, if you don't mind.

    One of my absolute favorite places to go for any occasion. The space is expansive with both a large indoor seating area and outside space. They also have a ton of events happening and have board games, outdoor games, and volleyball nets. Their beer/seltzer/cider selection is robust with a delicious option for everyone. They are also super dog friendly. My sweet 16 year old dog just won their dog of the month contest! They allow outside food and have food trucks available outside for food purchase. I can't recommend this brewery enough.

    First off, if you are not a fan of dogs, you probably want to stay away because it's a very dog friendly establishment. The day I came there was a rescue group there promoting their dogs. In fact they even have a beer called 'Can I Pet Your Dog?' Overall, the place is huge. Many different seating areas, nice patio, space for bags and volleyball and more! The beer is really good also! Also- the bar manager Ali is fantastic!

    Definitely a great place to take your fur buddy while you grab a drink. Service is good and attentive. Atmosphere is great for you and your family, lots of spots to sit down. The beers here are pretty tasty. Charming had a blast here‍

    Stage looks great for live shows.

We started with the really big pretzel and birria nachos. Both appetizers were HUGE! Everyone loved the pretzel. It was soft with a perfectly crisp outside and did not have a dry inside like a lot of the soft pretzels I order out. The cheese dip was excellent too. The nachos were fantastic--loved the pickled onions. They were a unique and tasty addition. After the large appetizers, we realized we didn't have room for full entrees. Everyone ordered some wings. I really wanted to try the hot sauce but was scared to commit. Our server was super friendly and brought me some out to test with bread. Loved the flavor, but it was indeed too hot for me. I went with the garlic parm sauce (so good). My son got a side of the Mac and cheese which I thought was delicious. Cavatappi noodles, breadcrumbs, oh my! ODB's menu might feature some "typical bar food" but it is realllllllly good bar food. The menu has a great variety of choices but isn't too big and overwhelming like a lot of places.

I haven't been here in years and forgot how great this place is for bar food. This is one of my favorite fish fries in the city because it's hand breaded with a flavorful coating with flaky hot fish. The coleslaw is perfect because it's very fine with a celery seed. The rye bread is fresh and not dried out. My best advice is to get the breaded mushrooms. They are some of the best I've ever eaten because again they are hand breaded. On Fridays you must get free fresh cake again homemade not bought. We tried three of the desserts and they didn't disappoint. Drinks are a strong pour and if you're lucky the owners wife will serve you because she's awesome.

If you're looking for a laid-back, friendly place with good food and great conversation, this is a great neighborhood find.

They're homemade and I would go back just for a basket of those fries. Their cheese curds were also delicious. We ordered a pickled egg because if that's listed on the menu we had to try one.

Wandering in after the farmers market not far away, on a Saturday afternoon, this place had a few locals at the bar, and a family at a table. While we sat at the bar, a few musicians showed up and began practicing and it was one of the coolest things I've ever witnessed. It felt like being in an Irish pub, with some interesting batched cocktails behind the bar, staff offering samples of their new menu creations, and a fantastic BLT. We ended up staying longer than planned to enjoy the music and take in the vibes. Its dive bar meets family friendly Irish pub, and they even have a night where they sing sea shanties once a month. We are looking forward to going back to explore more!
