Played some bar dice, talked with two of the regulars. It DOES get rowdy and loud but no fights. All in good fun. I think it matches the vibe of the neighborhood pretty well. Go next door to County Claire for delicious food.

Looking for a chill, kick back kind of bar scene, Monica's is it! One walks down to the lower level…read moreof the building to enter the bar. The inside has a huge bar-top with stools, pool table, tv's to watch sports, and a lot of milwaukee memorabilia on the walls. It's never too loud so it's a great spot for catching up with friends. Drinks are very fairly priced but don't go in ready to order a fancy cocktail. They also allow you or order food into the bar to eat, score! This was my second time to Monica's and I would definitely come back again!

Just after 8pm on a Friday night we got parking right at the front door which I thought was rock star lucky until we went in, completely empty except for the bar tender which I thought was weird. We sat down and ordered a couple drinks while talking and a big heavy set guy walks in and behind the bar to talk to the bar tender and finally sat down across from us. While having drinks and talking the douchebag had a disturbing laser stare on us non stop and after repeated looking at him, he continued non stop staring at us so we had to leave. I don't know what his problem was but making strangers feel uncomfortable was very natural to him and he was a pro at it. I'm going to spend some time in the area so I was looking regular place to go to but this will not be that place and we will not return again.

I stopped here after driving down this street for 12 years and I never noticed it until today so I…read moredid a U turn and I stopped. The place is your typical West Allis dive bar with a pool table etc. The bartender and the regulars were welcoming and I'm told that it has been around for about 12 years so how have I missed it. My service was great from the woman working the bar. They couldn't even make a proper Gin Rickey because they had no lime juice and I got the last lime wedge and now we are out of limes. It still amazes me that a bar doesn't lime juice or limes.

It is one of those places where everyone is a regular and knows each other. So, when you walk expect to get the "once over" from the locals. They have a pool table, enclosed smoking patio (with no ventilation), a few gaming machines and the coolest hand dryers in the bathroom! (You are just going to have to go and see for your self!) Nice enough place to stop in when you are just looking to hang out and drink for cheap!

Time to update the review since it's under new ownership..well not really new because it's been a…read morefew years. The owner always throws a huge spread for parties. They have bands throughout the year and in summer they have an outside tent so you can watch live music in the warm weather. It's a really nice dive bar that she spent money on making nice. The pizza is a definite buy because it's homemade by an amazing Italian cook. I call this place my living room because I can stagger there from my house. It's such a cute place if you haven't been you need to try it.

An absolute gem of a dive bar in the Milwaukee area. It has everything! Fun decor (especially in…read morethe bathrooms :)), a back room with pool tables and darts. Free popcorn with tons of seasoning flavors! A bowl of free dum dums. And HOMEMADE pickle shots! I love getting pickled at Patti's!

I didn't even finish my beer while I was here. I saw some food out and the only thing I could think about was how gross it must be because it's so dirty. I went to the bathroom and no joke, it seemed like it's been months since it's been cleaned. I literally had to wait until we went to the next place. I can usually turn my head at some things, especially being a dive bar, but come on!! Clean the bathroom. It's too dirty if you open the door and 4 flies come out of the toilet and the floor is caked with a layer of dirt and filth is everywhere..it's gross. I'm happy It will not be on Pub Pass next year!

The place had all street parking taken but as I drove around the block I found that they have parking in the rear. The bar tender was friendly with everyone and talked to the regulars. I can't tell if they have any food and I didn't notice a pizza oven but they have chips and candy. I hate to complain about service but the bar tender couldn't even make a Gin Rickey after I told him how to make one, the bar has no lime juice which amazes me because it's only happened a few times to me. This is a dive bar for sure but to not have lime juice is ridiculous.
