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. Get your bootie to Stallis for some of the best bar food around. BTW their French dip was also really tasty.

The owner, Dean, always takes time to talk with us, which makes you feel genuinely welcome every visit. The food is better than you'd expect for a dive bar--we especially love their pizza (sausage, mushroom, and onion is our go-to). This last time we received free dessert too, bonus! They do a solid fish fry every Friday too--definitely worth stopping in for if you're local. If you're looking for a laid-back, friendly place with good food and great conversation, this is a great neighborhood find.

It's a clean looking dive bar full of regulars that didn't make you feel out of place and the young woman bar tending was very friendly. The young woman bar tending had the mouth of a sailor which I really liked, a real person and no dainty proper woman here. I felt like a Makers Mark which I asked if they had and she said let me look, she came back and said only Makers Mark 46. Ok let me get this straight, the dive bar doesn't have regular Makers Mark but they have the more expensive Makers Mark 46 OK. The game was playing on several TVs all over the bar which everything was into and it was not the packers playing. The sign on the wall had limited pizza options for food and all frozen I'm sure. Sundays are $3 mini pitchers of domestic beer which most people were having judging by how many were on the bar and the tip off to me asking if it was a special today. Overall it's a nice neighborhood dive bar with friendly people where you can hav a drink and relax.

It's a small neighborhood dive bar with a pool table TVs etc like any other neighborhood bar. As I walked in I noticed food all over pool table and other tables but no local games were on the TVs which was strange. The place was oddly packed and I got the last stool in the corner end of the bar. As I sat there drinking my cocktail the locals talked to me and invited me to the food which was cool. Suddenly happy birthday was being sung and it all made sense now because it was a surprise birthday party for one of the regulars and I was offered cake, how cool because I knew no one in the place. It's a very friendly neighborhood bar and not clikey at all.

It's a neighborhood dive bar with all regulars which is ok because they let me be the outsider. The bartender was friendly and once again has no idea of what a gin Rickey is. It's an older neighborhood bar with a pool table, wrap around bar, music machine etc. The music was kinda loud for early afternoon with 70s to 90s love songs, maybe a broken heart was in the bar. It has flat screens and cool stone walls with nice character which you don't see a lot but it's charming in a dive way.

I recently met a friend here for drinks after work. Our bartender was very nice and always made sure I had a refill on my drink. The drinks are reasonably priced, and they have delicious popcorn to snack on while you enjoy your adult beverage. The regulars that frequent the place are pretty nice and will chat with you. I will definitely make sure to stop back here again.

Surprisingly this is no West Allis dive bar and it's pretty nice compared to the local competition was my first impression, hell even the mens room was probably the nicest for a West Allis local bar I thought with wood floors, clean looking and modern. It's the typical local bar with flat screens, games, music, taps etc etc. Josh was the bartender and he was very friendly and he did an outstanding job at being the face of the business. Surprisingly josh is one of the few bartenders in probably a 100 plus bars and restaurants who knew what a Gin Rickey is and as always anyone who knows how to make one with out asking how to I buy them a drink which he accepted. Overall it's a nice addition to the area and in now way like the old school dinosaur bars that line NationalAve.

It is the absolute perfect place for a nightcap. The vibes are warm, cozy, and candlelit. The bartender was outstanding. Their cocktail menu is surprisingly wonderful. We had a lovely time. I ordered a sazerac for my first cocktail. It was wonderful. It's a little heavier on the absinthe than some folks make it so something to note if you're not an absinthe lover. My husband got a Manhattan (which I tried) and it was pitch perfect. For my second cocktail, I got the revolver--coffee forward, strong, and delicious. My husband got a last word, which I also tried, and it was a beautifully herbaceous delight.

Jenneca, the bartender who served us the entire time, made sure of that. Not only did she give us great service, but she made us feel like we were part of her community. She spoke to us like we were family and made two Angelenos feel like this was home. I truly did not know what to expect being out here, but I felt like I didn't want to leave. Jenneca was exceptional -- not only in her way of speaking to people, but also made lovely drinks. If I could move to Milwaukee now, I would, solely because I found a community in a place away from home, and that is so difficult to find.
