Reviews
We stopped coming here after the Bears season was over because they only had one lady working the games with no bar back and the service was pretty bad because she obviously needed help. The bartender told us she didn't need help, even though she had told us we could only order beer or wine because she was too busy to make cocktails. We gave it another try today and the bartender Sara was lovely. She was very attentive and took great care of us.
Great selection of good brews and a cool atmosphere. If I lived local, I would visit often. The city tows vehicles parked on Milwaukee at a certain hour (10 pm or Midnight?) so side street parking is recommended for late nights.
