I had lunch at your restaurant/pub after golfing across the street today. I ordered a BLT sandwich and the shredded lettuce was brown on the edges and had a sour taste. I server was pleasant but we waited quite a long time on a not busy day. read more

Date of visit: March 28, 2025 Things didn't start out great with a dismissive wave from the serving staff when we entered and looked around with uncertainty as there was no visible sign regarding the procedure for customer seating, but once we got The Wave, we found a high table off to the side in the back like the riff raff we are. Thankfully things got better from there, with the two servers both assisting and providing suggestions for food. Speaking of the food, it was quite good! I went with the mushroom swiss burger and a side of tots, and both were delicious. Initially I was a bit disappointed by the lack of tots, but given the size of the burger and my desire to shed some post-holiday weight, the portions were perfect! The burger was cooked just as I wanted, and the tots had the perfect amount of crisp and crunch. read more

Great fish fry! I've tried a lot of fish fry places, but this one stands out because they have a giant piece of fish instead of smaller slices. Their fish is tender and not dry. The batter is also a light beer batter that isn't too heavy, yet it is still very crispy. This is what makes a solid fish fry. The fries are also perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The only downside to this place, like others mentioned, is that service is very slow, so do not go if you are in a hurry to go somewhere afterwards. They did look understaffed because it took us quite a while to put in our order and there wasn't anyone there to flag down. However, the server was polite, so it wasn't too bad. Side note, their parking lot is very icy and I tripped a few times, so be careful walking if you are visiting in the winter. The food is amazing overall, so I will definitely be back, perhaps I might get takeout. read more

Stopped in for some food and drinks after golf. The food was good, and sitting in the main bar the patio space was open which was awesome for such a beautiful day. The bartenders stayed busy, and we enjoyed stopping by. It did get super loud though as they got busier so keep that in mind if you want to talk! read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I have been here multiple times. Both times mediocre. Horrible service each time. I decided to go back tonight because it was the only place open for my friends and I to go. We walked in and within 2 minutes the younger male bartender looked at us and joked infront of his friends he was serving at the bar and said "this isn't a house party" just because we drank a water the first minute we were in there. We laughed and didn't think anything of it. As our friends were on the side of the bar ordering our drinks and stuff for us, we waited and were doing no harm. Spots opened up at the bar so me and my friends decided to move up to sit at the bar. The second we got there he came up to us so rudely asking for our ID's because again "this isn't a house party" we showed our ID's and I said to him that I had to run and get mine (we weren't going to order anything anyways at the bar we were waiting on our friends to do their thing) and so I was about to run and get my ID and he said "what have you never been to a bar before" in the most disrespectful way. I ran to get my ID anyway, and I came back in and he then was being rude to my friend who had already been ordering drinks from him. So it clearly wasn't about us not drinking within 5 minutes, he just was immediately rude to us. I told him my boyfriend was buying me drinks over on the other side of the bar and that is why I wasn't ordering and he said "nobody is buying a drink for you guys" and it was 3 females he said it to and he said it in a very rude way. Immediately when we walked in the door he was rude to us, and I will never go back. West allis has so many amazing places to go and this is one you can skip by. This bartender was horrible and some of the people he was being rude to tonight work as bartenders and in the service industry as well. Never going again and do not recommend. Horrible people which makes it a horrible place. People make the place. Go to Tommy Amann's, natty oaks, daniels palace, or any other bar but this one. read more

We'll be back! Service was great!! Special burger tonight was "cheese beast" - delicious! Provolone, cheese curds and cheese sauce. Fish fry was a nice serving of two planks of fish, potato salad, I opted for the potato pancakes- got three of them with applesauce and syrup. Two shared stallis cheesesteak and chicken wrap... one ordered fries and the other tater tots. Meat sliced thin, not fatty at all. Chicken wrap had nice pieces of meat, good flavor with ranch, lettuce etc. We will be back here! read more

Visited for the first time this evening (April 26) to take advantage of Taco Tuesdays. Really enjoyed my meal. You have four versions to choose from: chicken, beef, shrimp and fish. With two or more, they toss in some chips and salsa. I selected one each of chicken, shrimp and fish. The tacos are a good size. Soft shell, they come with a good portion of food. The fish was a breaded filet, and the shrimp taco was stuffed with a half-dozen or so shrimp. Prices average around $4 per taco, which is reasonable considering the amount of food. I brought back two for leftovers. Our server, whose name I didn't get, took care of us well. We had around 16 people in our group. Considering she started just a week ago, she handled all of our drink and food orders like a pro. Overall, a 'thumbs up' for this visit. read more

To the guy I'm the yellow hat. If you don't want to be in customer service then don't be. Ask if they have the regular fish, they didn't have it this time and it was horrible. Don't let me order some shitty fish over cooked and all different sizes then when I ask be rude and dismissive to me. We drove from Madison and chose to eat here and we're very disappointed. read more

So, across from Greenfield Golf course lies the Brass Monkey. Turn right followed by the left U-turn onto Greenfield Ave. The staff's friendly enough. Fairly attentive, too. Yes, it can get loud in here, too. Barring good weather they have an outdoor patio deck to be seated. The menu has your pub grub. Burger (build your own), $11.95, the Stallis Cheesesteak, $14.00. A cold River West Stein draft beer and others for sure, for about 5 bucks. Expect good food but the prices have gone up. Almost everywhere. Expect to escape out of here for about 25 bucks plus a tip. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Unbelievable atmosphere, phenomenal food, spectacular drinks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The best Bloody Mary I've ever had, and I've been to France. Came in expecting an average lunch and I got the best breakfast tacos, probably best in the world, I would know, I've been to France. Service was amazing 10/10 will definitely be coming back for another pint of miller lite. read more

worst service ever. went in with family to get something to eat. First time customers. ignored by staff and waited and waited 20 minutes for someone to take our order which never happened. would never go back there again I would not even give them a star read more

I was here on Tuesday so I got the tacos! They were tasty! Heather the bar tender was wonderful and very friendly. Local beer on tap was delicious! read more

Stopped in to try this place after we picked up our car from service. It was very busy with trivia and a dart league night. The food was decent, but the service at the bar was well below average. We really felt as if we were a bother to the staff. We blew $80 bucks on dinner and drinks, but we definitely will not be back. Probably a good place if your a regular, but if your not I'd go elsewhere. read more

My husband and I found ourselves in a bit of a food jam this afternoon. Our typical wing spot in the area was closed for a couple of days for cleaning. We don't live in this town, so we really didn't have a backup plan. Thanks to Yelp, we landed at Brass Monkey. I was surprised how much open space there was inside. Plenty of seating, and the atmosphere was inviting. Our server greeted us right away, and was very sweet. We ordered some beers, cheese curds, and wings. I was a little surprised that the wings came in only 8 (traditional) or 10 (boneless). I'm used to ordering a dozen wings. However, when they arrived, I in no way felt shorted. The wings had A LOT of meat on them. Definitely didn't miss the extra 4 wings at all. I got the Inferno wings and my husband got the spicy garlic BBQ. They were both excellent. I was very happy with the level of heat with the Inferno wings. They're definitely not for the heat sensitive, but not ungodly hot to where all you can taste is heat. The flavor was VERY good! My husband's wings were also good, very flavorful with a nice kick. The cheese curds were EXCELLENT!! The cheese was extra melty and the batter was perfectly crispy. I am so happy that even though we didn't get the exact wings we wanted, we managed to find a more than satisfactory replacement. My only wish is that there were more sauces to choose from. However, since this isn't a wing specific bar, I think their selection is more than appropriate. I'm pretty jealous that Brookfield has two great places to eat wings within a mile of each other. We don't have any wings that are even close to this good in Madison. read more

I have driven by this place plenty o time and I never stopped by. I was driving by in my summer toy with the windows down and ac off on a warm afternoon and thought a cold one would hit the spot now so I did a u turn and stopped . The lot had a big yellow bus in it and plenty of spots open at 3pm on a Sunday. The place is bigger than it looks from the outside with a rectangular bar and side rooms with tables and chairs. The tapper is old and is getting replaced the bar tender said but it did have five taps in it. Spotted cow, 3 domestics and one exotic com paired to the other four. The metal arm rest around the bar did have monkeys attaching them to the bar. It's not upscale nor a dive bar but just a nice neighborhood bar and not the neighborhood dump. The bar tender was on point and keeping everyone flowing. I was asked if I was there for the shuttle and I was not. I forget the the name of the exotic beer compared to the other four and that's what I had, flavorful and higher alcohol than miller. I was offered a menu and accepted it even though I was not hungry. It was small with apps, burgers etc. See my pictures. For future knowledge I asked if the burgers are char grilled or my least fav flat grilled and I was told char grilled. The couple next to me were there for the shuttle and paid $ 19 for four double beers, maybe the size of a med soda to ride the shuttle to see Neal young at summer fest. The mix of people were regulars with young and older people with the shuttle crowd. The kitchen was bringing food out to tables so people were eating the food. Overall my visit was enjoyable and I can't complain about anything but I would like to try a burger. read more

Fun environment, good food. Small menu but quality. The pizza is top notch. Parking is limited but worth the trip.

Best bar in West Allis hands down. Food is incredible and the staff is warm and welcoming. Fish fry, wings, and cheesecurds are the best menu items imo. Staff is great although they used to be better. However, the decline in service is only because I stole their best waitress (she's my fiancé now) read more

First time visit, and definitely won't be the last. Got the 2-piece fish fry, subbed the potato pancakes instead of fries/tots/sweet tots, and that was a spectacular choice. Thicker potato pancake, but SO flavorful, and not cake-y or heavy. I also added a third piece of fish, and the waitress was kind enough to ask if I had tried their fish fry before, as the pieces really are huge. My plan was to have lunch/dinner the next day, so I still went with the third piece, but there really is no need for a third - I'm a big dude, and the 2-piece would have been enough. Sides were rye bread, what looked to be a red potato salad (decent, but I would consider doubling up on the cole slaw instead!) and cole slaw - a red cabbage mix, with a lemon-y hint to it, and what looked to be dill. My wife wasn't a fan, but I thought it was great. Our friends loved the potato pancakes so much, we followed their lead and ordered 3 more to take home, and Saturday night fish fry at home was just as great - use air fryer, any other method of reheating may not be nearly as good. I can't believe I drive by this place ALL the time, and it just never struck me to stop in for a fish fry, so if you're reading this, make it a point to stop passing by, and go get yourself a great dinner on Friday night! read more

Jimmy the bartender is amazing. Wings are on point as well! Highly recommend checking this place out!

Everything from the staff to the food is outstanding! I wish there was more bar space. But it just makes our seats at it more rewarding:)

Thanks to Brass Monkey for caring enough to require masks for those not eating and/or drinking AND to the staff for wearing masks. Granted it is 5:30pm on a Friday so the situation may change as the night goes on. Staff is very friendly, good beers on tap and fish fry is excellent! I may have found my new hang out place when I visit Milwaukee. read more

I've always been a huge fan of the brass atmosphere and going there for drinks! But during this crazy time I decided to try their fish fry for carry out.

Thanks brass for always killing it!! read more

Me and my parter felt very mislead by the website and menu online. The website was really nice and made it seem like a neat modern bar but was opposite of that. Your website does not match your style! Then thrown off by all the positive reviews on here so thought it would be a great place to eat. Friendly staff, good pretzels, awful thin cardboard-like pizza, one of the worst pizzas I've had in years. read more

Recommend trying their pizza. They use high quality cheese. In my humble opinion the cheese is generally what either makes or breaks a pizza. Also enjoyed the cheese curds, mozzarella sticks and fried pickles. Didn't think I'd like fried pickles, but turns out I was wrong. Thank you Brass Monkey for teaching me something about myself. read more

When you're on a streak of bad luck trying new bloody marys, you can always count on 'Stallis bars to give you a boost! This Bloody Mary really hit the spot and the extra beef and cheese was much appreciated. At the time of our visit, they also had New Glarus' Serendipity on tap, so while it was an usual pairing, we go to sample that gem as our chaser. We'll definitely be back here. The food was good, too and it seemed like they had decent specials. read more
