First, I want to say I do reviews to make places better. When I came in here the waitress was complaining about the for sale sign on the building. I agreed it makes people not even want to come in. We usually go to Reds because of it. Today, I decided to try this place. Waitress is a hot mess and really needs some management around this place. Young and clearly has no one overlooking the bar. Also, this place needs some facebooks ads or something to get the traffic in this place. It has so much potential, but management clearly is selling the property. Waitress said they are not planing to close or sell??? Then why the for sale sign? Overall the food was good, but the bartender cooks the food. Overall the waitress is doing the best she can do with the tools management gives her. If I were her, I would go somewhere else asap read more

Great food, great drinks, great service!! Would recommend to everyone, dive bar lovers or college students!

First time in Platteville and we stopped someone on the street and asked for food recommendations, she happened to work there so we gave it a shot. McCoy, Calista, and Lauren were freakin fantastic!! My friend and I have 60 years of food service experience between the two of us and this staff was on-point!! We asked both McCoy and Calista to surprise us with their favorite bar drinks and they were delicious. And they are definite customer service superstars. Lauren not only did a fantastic job on our food but she also has a stellar sense of humor. I would definitely drive the 2 hours for another experience at Brothers on 2nd, especially if these 3 are working!! Management should be more than impressed and proud of them. read more

This bar will always hold special meaning to me, as I have many good memories from college in addition to having my first kiss with my husband here. Every time I come back to town for a visit, I have to stop by for a drink or two. Fun atmosphere and cool ambiance. Friendly bartenders and great food! The burgers are delicious and the sour cream and chive fries are divine. read more

We stopped here on our return drive to Brookfield from San Diego. Hannah greeted us at the door and sat us in the bar. She made some recommendations for several IPAs, which were both very good. She also mixed a mean raspberry Mojito for my wife. I ordered the Italian beef dip sandwich for lunch, which was tasty and HUGE. (I took half of it home.) The house pub chips were very good as well. My wife and bro-in-law both had the bacon Mac and cheese and they agreed it was very tasty. Overall, the place was clean and the staff was very friendly. We'd go there again if we pass that way again. read more

Good bartenders. Good kitchen. Had a wrap that was about perfect and the jalapeño ranch dressing is must for the fries. Thanks to Maddie, Ryan, and Dale. read more

First time here. Stopped by during the week for lunch. The bartender was helpful and friendly. The bar was quiet and clean. I ordered a cheeseburger and Brew City fries. I didn't think the fries were anything special. The burger was fantastic. It was delish and hit the spot. The bartender said the wings are great. They have their special on wings and beer on Monday nights. Check it out if you haven't! read more

Cheap drinks ($4 Long Islands, $5 pitchers), decent bar food (including 25 cent wings on Monday nights), a crowd that will keep you entertained any night of the week, and attentive and attractive bartenders. What more can one ask for? Brothers is wonderful, and don't forget to get your $6 souvenir t-shirt. read more

I work construction a lot and i have spent a large amount of time in platteville they have wings on monday which if they are hot they are good but most of the time when u get the they are luke warm the service is slow and disappointing and when i asked for my second capt and coke she said oh u dont want water with your food read more

I like to go there for the karaoke on Thursday. I like that they only charge one buck for my Mt. Dew. It's nice and cold too!

The Owner Dale is a jerk, he likes to yell and pick fights with his customers. He accuses customers for talking to the bartenders too long, instead of telling his bartenders to move on. The long Island are manly ice and coke, not much Alcohol. He messed up on making a drink for me and i told him it wasn't right, he still made me pay full price for it, and said too bad. Crappy Ownership. read more
