Ben made me a list of places to visit and neighborhoods to check out since I had came for a job interview and was looking to move. It gave me a lot of insight of Milwaukee. I was really looking for local advice. I even revisited later that week so celebrate the end of my successful Wisconsin trip with more great conversation and drinks. Awesome place. For now, I live all the way in Southern California, and I will definitely be back! Especially once I make the move!

The bartender was incredibly welcoming and warm and gave us his full attention even though there were plenty of other people already at the bar. As a first timer, that really made me want to return. The atmosphere was so cozy. The lighting and temperature were warm and the music was at a good level - not too loud, not too quiet. Though they don't have a pool table - which is what we were after - they have plenty of board games. We had a beer each and played several rounds of Shut the Box. Thanks for the great service! We will definitely be returning with friends.

As soon as I walked into Foggy Dew I felt comfortable. There was something different about this…read morebar, although the clientele looked typically Milwaukee South Side. They were polite, kind and welcoming. The guy sitting next to me gave up his seat for my friend. I bought him a drink to thank him, but he didn't acknowledge it, probably embarrassed. That's typical of Foggy Dew. Nick was our bartender, and he was friendly and answered my barrage of questions. Foggy Dew will be a destination bar for me. The decor was unique, but the differences were subtle. I loved the fact the Dew was in a residential neighborhood. That added to its panache. It was a cool bar. I liked it. I think you will too.

This was the spot to be at for the World Cup watch parties. They had a bg screen outside with some…read moretables 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!

This the perfect place for conversation, as you can actually hear yourself talk in here. Refreshingly, there are only a few (maybe two?) TVs in the place. They are only on for the World Cup, Packers game, and sometimes Brewers/Bucks if you ask, otherwise it's alternative music playing through an iPad. The taps are filled with imports, as well as some local crafts. The back bar is filled with not just Irish whiskey, but other impressive whiskey/bourbon. Oh, and since the new ownership took over their cocktail game has been strong, which is a warm welcome to Waukesha. Their cocktail menu shifts with the season and features their housemade bitters. The food menu is limited to Emil's pizza, Milwaukee Pretzel Co pretzel with cheese and mustard, and Pop's Kettlecorn. Oh, and how could I forget that they offer free kettle chips. For Packer games I've seen them offer brats or hot ham rolls, among other food patrons have brought in to share. My favorite thing about HoG? Whiskey Club. Come in anytime, get a sheet at no cost, and start drinking some whiskey/bourbon. The goal? Drink 40 different whiskeys. Along the way you'll get incentives, like a whiskey on the house, free pint of beer, etc. Once you hit 40 you're hand a button up shirt and are officially a member. Members have access to special meetings where the bar will be shutdown to just members for speciality tastings, classes and more. Oh, don't just stop at 40, there is an 80 level, and even a 100 level! For someone with little understanding of whiskey other than I like it in my old fashioned, hah, I'm 13 whiskeys in and I've already learned a lot. The bartenders are eager to share their whiskey wisdom, as are other patrons. If I had to list a negative... I wish the food menu was just a tiny bit bigger, as after three double pours of whiskey I need some kind of real sustenance. Perhaps something like a chip dip for the kettle chips and baked chicken wings, since they do not have a full kitchen/fryer.

Our party of 3 sat there for 7-10 minutes with no service. Fast forward, the bartender proceeded to give IMMENSE amounts of attitude. She gave multiple dirty looks, while treating us as we were not welcome(all while ignoring us). We collectively ordered a round of espresso martinis (which previously was ordered and received a month-ish ago) and apparently that day they "don't have it on the menu". HOG was one of my favorite bars, prior to this horrid experience, I would always recommend HOG to visitors. Its ambience, location, prices and welcoming atmosphere were unmatched. However, if I walked in and saw that bartender, I would immediately leave.

To your right is another bar with a bigger area AND a roomy patio. To your left, there is the biggest room with a small stage and the DJ on opposite ends. Wait there is also another patio! There's also a bar across from the patio. You keep walking through Jo cats to the last room in the back with a bar in the middle and another patio! These patios are pretty roomy too. Great places for a fresh breath of air or a smoke break. I've never had a bad time with the bartenders or bouncers. Drinks are solid and do the job. The music is typical bar music. You can definitely wait to hear a song you like. The atmosphere just isnt for me. It can be packed in Jo Cats and it still looks boring. We walked through the entire bar. Not a single song pulled us to the dance floor. I try to only come when there's no cover so I dont feel salty about wanting to leave.

If you go during a busy time and sit at a table, service can be a little slow and the last time we were there my friend had to remind the server several times about her drink order. It's a busy place, I get it but worth mentioning. They have a neat little seating area by a fireplace which is a good place to snag. There's also a side room that is good for groups and probably can be reserved. There's a nice outdoor patio too (closed in winter). I really like the Shorewood location because they have an awesome back patio. Check it out!
