Bryan, Melissa and the staff were incredibly attentive, kind, and accommodating throughout the process of planning and the day if. They made our large group feel so welcome and helped create a beautiful celebration filled with love, laughter, and wonderful memories. Thank you to the entire Vier North team for going above and beyond. We truly appreciate your hospitality and would highly recommend you for any special occasion!

My first time at Vier North was during Summerfest, we were there to take the shuttle which I…read moreappreciate because it's the only one in the immediate area. Not like the good old days when the yellow school bus would pick up from several North Ave bars. Alas... As of 2026, you can ride the shuttle if you either a.) buy two drinks or b.) buy a $10 voucher which can be used for food or drink then or another time. Their shuttle goes to Brewer games as well! We got a drink and the bus showed up not too long after, we were the first on the small bus but it quickly filled. I would say don't be like us, give yourself more time to get there in case the shuttle waits for people or traffic is bad by the destination. My only complaint is on the way back from the fest, the driver took the wrong ramp and we were headed to Bayview until the first exit was available. He didn't communicate that to us which was weird. "Oops, sorry everyone" would have been a normal thing to say. At that point we were Vier South instead of Vier North. Recently we came back to use our vouchers for dinner, the plan was fish fries because we're always on the hunt for a good one. The fish pieces were smaller and you get 4 (my photos make it look larger). We joked it's more like cod nuggets, I'd prefer 2 larger pieces with more fish inside. Some of what you saw was batter and not fish so a little deceiving. The fries and coleslaw were good but we didn't like the sweeter tarter sauce. Overall we were very full but for me, I wouldn't get the fish fry again not due to taste but fish fries are expensive everywhere and I prefer more fish and thinner batter. Next time, I'd try a burger. The cloud bread was on my list to try for a long time but it was just okay in my opinion. Their pizza looks good too so I want to try some other items on the menu. The service was fine, I think we came around a shift change so several people helped us. The interior was well done, it looks so much better now and that patio is a great addition. The bar near the bathrooms has a little sitting area that looked chill. They have poker nights and other fun things so check it out!

From the outside it is so bland and you are truly unsure if you are walking into an abandoned building or a crappy towny bar. Once you enter, it may take your eyes a moment to adjust if you are coming in from a bright sunny day. Foundation Bar has super low lighting, very moody. There is ample seating and a few different seating options; bar stools, booths, high top tables. Seat yourself. To order drinks you walk up to the bar. There is not table service. The decorations here are great! There are some really incredible pieces and collections! Some I would love to have if I could find them. This is a very laid back atmosphere, very chill not loud or overbearing so relax and enjoy the ambiance. I believe my drink was called El Diablo and was very good. My boyfriend chose a Zombie which is always strong! He preferred my drink!

Most recently, we went to the bar and asked for a glass of water and were told we had to wait until our drinks came.

Definitely recommend going but bring your own water bottle and expect a bit of a wait.

There are only two bartenders working at any give time, and while they notice you with eye contact, you'll wait 10 min more for them to actually acknowledge you. They won't fill your water bottles, instead they will point to the water fountain near the bathrooms. Three fish tacos, cooked right on the outdoor grill, with no sides will run you $9 plus tax. They have no fryers, so your side options are basically chips. I ordered a double long island ice tea ($8), which our bartender had no clue how to make, it tasted basically like watered down tequila. They have pre-made bloody Mary's and margaritas in igloo coolers, which seemed to be a draw. Credit cards are accepted.

My out-of-town friends played pool, and I have to say, the red pool table was definitely a vibe. Perfect for those Instagram photo dumps if you're like me!

While we were there, I noticed a sign about their pizzas, which, in my opinion, is a hallmark of a great dive bar. Who doesn't want a late-night snack?
