How can you not love (or at least vaguely enjoy) this fun and oddball bar in Bayview. But who…read moredoesn't love an oddball? I love Blackbird's wild and eclectic decor. I feel very much at home because we share very similar tastes in home decor. It feels very cozy as soon as I enter this bars. I believe we had two wonderful bartenders who took our order and quickly brought back out drinks. Great service, dimly but warmly lit (which I love to help me avoid migraine triggers), lots of conversation and chattering going on around us. Also, PINBALL! My partner and I spent a decent chunk of change having all the fun. You should really go. And experience it all!

They do the coolest thing I think for a anniversary party. They had three different bars with three different menus represented. It was nice to be able to try a bunch of different cocktails on that day. But they're always serving up great cocktails any day you go. They also have Dooby dogs outback which has some of the best fries with cheese sauce you'll have in the area. It's a small bar and they have a small enclosed patio. They also have I think two or three dollar Hamms.

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!

The drinks were relatively quick and delicious! The outside patio and inside are much different. We went inside due to rain for our second drink. The inside is dark and moody.

It was busy and live bands were already playing in the back. We were hoping for the green lips cocktail which featured melon liquor, chartreuse and titos but alas they were out. However the wonderful bar staff mixed up some excellent blueberry infused vodka cocktails that were incredible. The blueberry flavor really came through tasting fresh and fruity. They mixed them to order also with mine being less sweet and my daughters being sweeter and they were spot on. The crowd is mixed age and there was plenty of tattoos and black leather but my sketchers and office attire is welcome too. I would definitely come back for another cocktail and maybe listen in on a local band next time.

The owner is the only bartender so you will always get quality service. He is friendly and will remember you if you go in enough. It may not look like much from the outside and it is a bit off the main drag, but it is defiantly worth a visit. If you are like me and hate having nowhere to sit and having to stand at a crowded bar for 10 minutes to get ignored by the bartender before getting a drink, then try out this place. Also, its just another way to support locally owned Bay View businesses.
