From the community

I had a great time. The bartender saw I was new since I was traveling for work and quickly introduced me to some regulars, making my night much better while alone in an unfamiliar city. Cute bartenders, fun crowd, low-key atmosphere.

“pop bar”

A new pop bar just opened on 124 National, close to Kruz Bar. It's a good spot for pizza and a drink before heading to Kruz Bar for more drinks and possibly meeting someone special.

I'm biased because I'm originally from New York and now live in Chicago, but for Milwaukee, this is decent. The drinks are strong and good. However, my boyfriend said it has a suburban feel.

“Too bad!”

Maybe the best place people can think of, but it's a sad reflection of what the community needs. Well executed and beyond expectations, yet still a sad story for our community.
