My friends and I were attending a birthday party at the bar. We had a friend in town from Ireland so we wanted to talk with her but the music was so loud we had to yell to even hear each other. My friend asked if the music could be turned down a bit and one of the bartender's obliged. When the owner came back in he quickly turned back up the music. My friend politely asked the owner if he could turn is back down and that is when he started mocking her and saying "I can't hear you" and saying it is Friday night so let's party. Yes, it is your establishment and you are allowed to do what you want but I also have the ability to choose where I spend my money and I will NEVER step foot back into a place where the owner is messed up on drugs and alcohol and does not care about their patrons.

tl;dr Did I mention the bladder busters?!…read more Mavericks is such a staple to a lot of my dude friends. It kind of reminds me of a college bar type vibe, with the friendliest staff and loads of shots. A lot of bar games are played there and it's way more spacious compared to some of the smaller bars in the more "hipster" parts of town. It has a front bar area with smaller tables and bar space, a pool table hallway/walkway and then a back area with full back bar and larger tables. It's not super swanky, but a great sports/dive bar for all of your game-watching needs. Also, the pub/bar food is amazing! Love the Ruben rolls, jalapeno poppers, the wonton-fried mozzarella sticks, and there's something about the pizza and the light, flaky crust there that keeps us coming back for more. I've been there for quite a few Packers games - it's the perfect spot. They've got a "bladder buster" (usually this is free miller lite or bud lite until someone uses the bathroom) and fun traditions like playing "The Bears Still Suck" song during commercials and Todd and Carol (the owners) often Emcee and make funny comments over the game or sometimes host raffles for cool prizes based off the shots you buy (smart). Todd and Carol are an absolutely delight and are always treat you like family when you're there. Will definitely be back for many more future Packer games (and I don't even like sports!)

Located on 27th street in Franklin, Route 41 was a perfect spot to enjoy a Friday Fish Fry! We…read morewalked in on a busy Friday (I do not believe they take reservations), to a newly renovated space that was bright & clean. The large bar was full, as was most of the dining area. We checked in with the hostess & were surprised that she was able to get us a table right away! Our server, although lackluster, was efficient & our drink & food orders were correct. I opted for 2 piece Cajun style cod-what a nice change of pace! The breading had great flavor, very crispy. The baked potato was standard but who's isn't. My bf chose the traditional 3 piece cod & enjoyed his meal as well. We plan to come back soon to try other things & attend a trivia night!

Decided to try this place for the first time since it rebranded to Route 41, and unfortunately it…read morewas a big disappointment. The service was awful from the start. We were seated in the back of the dining room with only four other tables occupied, yet no one acknowledged us for over 10 minutes. Eventually, a different employee stopped by just to ask if we wanted drinks. We ordered the flaky cod and the walleye--both were extremely disappointing. The fish was hard, bland, and had an unpleasant aftertaste. Honestly, there would have been more flavor in a box of frozen fish sticks. The tartar sauce was overwhelmingly dill-forward, which didn't help salvage the meal. Even the basics missed the mark: the ranch dressing and mozzarella sticks were awful as well. As a lifelong Wisconsin resident who takes the tradition of a Friday fish fry seriously, I can confidently say this was one of the worst meals I've ever experienced. Save yourself the experience and the expense and buy Gordon's fish at your local grocery store. It's about the same, if not better, than Route 41's out-of-the-freezer meals paired with poor service.

Phylo's, hiding on a corner in West Allis, is a wonderful vestige of a time of warmth and welcome. Within ten minutes, we were talking with everyone in the bar.

She cooked up one of the best burgers I have tasted, with a choice of cheese, onions, tomato, lettuce, pickles and whatever else you want. Lou is there to please.

The menu is small with sandwiches and appetizers which is ok for a corner bar. The menu is very reasonable with two cocktails and a burger with side totaling $17.50 flat. Lou is on the ball with drinks when your ready for another one. The place is your typical Wi dive bar. Service is great with Lou being a firecracker opinionated bartender. The sandwich's are all under $10 with choice of side being onion rings, steak frys or tots. I ordered the half pound bacon cheeseburger and battered onion rings. The bacon cheeseburger looked great on a toasted Kiser roll with fresh leaf lettuce, tomato, pickles and raw onion. The battered onion rings were perfectly crispy with tender onion on the inside. WOW my bacon cheeseburger was cooked perfect rare with a delicious deep char broiled flavor. With the fresh toppings this is a really tasty burger to my surprise from an unassuming coroner bar. This is the perfect cheeseburger for my tastes and what I seek out in a cheeseburger so this will become my known good cheeseburger bookmark in my head. I will definitely be back when I'm craving a char broiled flavored cheeseburger and try some more of the menu. This is probably the last place in town where you can get a 1/2 pound bacon cheeseburger with fresh toppings and a side for under $10 so value vs delicious is outstanding.

Cmon now.. The…read moreFarmers Breakfast itself was good. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the bacon was decent, and overall the meal was satisfying. What disappointed me was that the menu specifically advertised Amish butter and homemade jam, which was one of the reasons I ordered it. Instead, I was served two foil wrapped pats of butter spread and two containers of Welch's jelly. When I asked about it, the waitress explained they no longer have the Amish butter or homemade jam and that was why she brought the substitutes. Jelly is not Jam.. sigh I understand that restaurants run out of items or change suppliers, but if something that's specifically advertised is no longer available, it should be mentioned when ordering or updated on the menu. Also, jelly isn't the same as homemade jam. It wasn't a huge deal, but it's frustrating when advertised items are quietly replaced with packaged alternatives without acknowledging the difference. The breakfast was good, but I'd encourage the restaurant to either serve what's advertised or be upfront with customers when substitutions are necessary.
