    Top-notch stop at the state fair. They serve up the biggest best selection of craft beer at the Wisconsin State Fair. The staff is quick, friendly, and extremely fun to chat with. They do a lot of fun activities throughout the fair including making a big announcement if you tap a keg which was so fun!

    Beer lovers take shelter from ordinary beer at The Micro.

    *** to the tune of the Cheers theme song *** Making your way through the fair today takes everything you've got. Taking a break from all the fried foods, a burp would help a lot. Wouldn't you like to kill a keg? So go to The Micro! Where someone just might know your name, and on TV there's a game. You wanna beer that don't taste like pee, the flavors aren't all the same Kill a keg then everybody'll know your name. *** The Micro is where beer lovers rejoice at the Wisconsin State Fair. It's also a nice respite from the swirling, deep-fried madness on a stick that is the Fair. In a pub-like setting, it's a good place to pull up a stool, try a Wisconsin craft beer and check in on the game. If you're lucky, get the last glass of beer from a keg and get a KEG KILLER t-shirt along with the enduring admiration of your fellow swillers. They even have wi-fi. The Micro. My favorite hangout at the Wisconsin State Fair. Cheers!

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.

    I was at the end of my pregnancy and had a killer appetite so my friend suggested we pig out on…read moregood bar food. I had never been to ODB's but it did not disappoint! 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. The bar looked fun too, there was a dj and everything. I'll be back (probably for that birria sandwich I had my eyes on!).

    Super cute corner bar! Not what I expected, much better food and atmosphere. Service was friendly…read moreand attentive. Probably one of the better fish fry's I've had in a while. The wings were good, but small wings. My friend ordered them and would not recommend due to size.

    Such a great surprise find! Out in an area I wasn't familiar with, I looked up on Yelp to see what…read morewas about for drinks. I loved the name and sign, also very close by. Ran into a bartender I knew from a Milwaukee east side bar. Great drinks, an excellent bartender (Lissa), and a friendly and engaging group of other patrons at the bar. A much larger space than I expected. Pool tables, a kitchen (although in the process of hiring a new cook), and room for good sized gatherings. Very much give a recommend for this very local and energetic bar!

    I heard from a couple people about the fish fry here, so me and my friend stopped here a week ago…read moreto try it out. My friend got there before I did and was able to hold a seat for me and ordered a a double vodka lemonade right away. Our bartender Raphael was super laid back and overall a good egg. They hold your cards to if you're running a tab which is nothing out of the norm when it comes to a bar, but because I didn't have cash on me at the time I had to ask for my card back because I was informed that I would need it to place an order at the kitchen for food. This was a first for me to go a kitchen window to do an order but it was not a big deal for us. Now if you do pay with your card, there's like a $2 or $3 fee so just a heads up. I went with the 2 piece fried cod with french fries and my friend did the same but with the potato pancakes. We didn't wait long before we received our order and I was ready to dig in. The fries were nicely reasoned and received a nice amount with the order. The fish was flaky, crispy and with a squeeze of lemon and dash of salt it was pretty good. I did see there other specials they had for other food items and would love to try in the future. But overall not a bad place and wished I would've stopped here sooner.
