This is a true Wisconsin drive bar. It was packed on a Saturday. There was one bartender for the…read morewhole bar, about 3 slot machines and a pull tab machine. Their cocktails are $10 but definitely a joint you grab a beer. There was a friendly and wide range of bar goers. At one point the whole bar sung happy birthday to someone so I'd say this is a nice Midwest bar to grab a drink.

Time to update the review since it's under new ownership..well not really new because it's been a…read morefew years. The owner always throws a huge spread for parties. 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 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.

Stopped by this bar in our neighborhood for fish fry takeout after walking past so many times and…read moresaying we need to try it because the sign is so funny. The fish fry was pretty good. I've had better but I've had worse. Absolutely loved the potato pancakes and fries. I got the feeling that everyone there knows each other. It reminds me of dive bars in small town Wisconsin, so it's kind of fun to get that same feeling in the city. I'd like to stop in sometime and sit at the bar rather than do takeout - I think that would give us the full experience.
