A classic MKE dive. Right off of Brady so away from the busy busy bars. Used to be a firehouse so lots of cool memorabilia. I love the 3 alarm special, and they have free popcorn! read more

A classic dive bar. The bartender was nice and checked in with us before she went out for a cigarette break. There were a lot of fruit flies that were a little frustrating to be around. read more

Hosed On Brady - Sitting at the bar - Bars Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

This is a townie/dive bar that we pop into now and again. Depending on the bartender, you will be treated like a long-lost friend or you will be made to feel like an interloper. The drinks are reasonable and they still do the 3 Alarm which is a shot, a beer, and a pull tab (IYKYK). It's gurvy. The bathrooms aren't terrible, but they ain't great. They don't allow more than one person at a time in the women's restroom. It's no longer cash only. read more

Donna is a terrible business owner. She's rude to her employees. Many of my friends have worked for her for a short time. She threw away my friend's sandwich that he was saving to have later in his long shift. And currently she's withholding a paycheck that she owes to my other friend because she is salty that the person quit on short notice. read more

Tony went out of his way to make me a niche cocktail. Drink was outstanding, service was perfect, vibe hit the spot.

When friends of mine came in from out of town they saw hosed .& said that must be ur neighbourhood bar. Me: 'I've actually never been there before.' But anyhow...I finally found myself in there during a NCAA game. It was a cute little corner bar. Really super friendly bartender...sometimes little bars have jerky bartenders but he was super nice. Whipped cream vodka "on tap" $5 and $3.50 drinks/shots of rumchata! Free popcorn! And...jukebox! Oh yea, and those pics of topless firefighters in the women's bathroom that kinda freaked me out more than anything. So, yea..I like to keep the partying a little farther away from home base, but ill be back here most likely. Also, they have tables set outside for smokers and anyone else who wants to take advantage of the weather or make flirty glances at the real firefighters next door. read more

Hosed On Brady - Ladies? Ladies? - Bars Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I got hosed on Brady st.....I know.....corny. A dive... just like that fancy bar down on Brady St. just with out the fancy stuff on Brady St. The popcorn is with parmesan and SALT! I know what your doing, kindashady -kindahustlin. The regular customers are within walking distance. So carpooling with a designated driver is a good idea in this neighborhood. The space is warm and inviting with a fire house/hose theme running around the bar. The staff is consistent, some are much faster than other bartenders here. Sometimes they are ok. Other times I'm pleasantly surprised especially when it's packed. 107/2014 read more

Was in town for a day and a local recommended Brady Street. Driving around for parking and found a spot across the street from Hosed. Knew from the outside it would be our first and last stop. Walked in and saw the bartender with a Cramps t-shirt and knew it was gonna be a good time. Blatz or Hamms with a shot of Tully for $5. Winner. Beat up dive bar with plenty of local flavor. bathrooms not as horrifying as you would expect. 4 beers + 4 shots +$10 tip is $30 well spent. Great service. Parking sux. I'll be back. read more

A bar slightly off the beaten path on Brady Street. Pretty divey, they have a pool table and some darts in the back. Other than that not much going on here. The drinks are pretty reasonable. However, they are CASH ONLY. So plan accordingly or get dinged by their ATM. I would go back if my friends wanted to-otherwise I would say not your best bet if you're looking for a fun night near Brady Street! read more

Good friendly neighborhood bar with a Fire Department theme. It's the kind of bar you can just go to hang out and feel comfortable. The staff was very friendly during our visit and will recommend anyone to stop in for a few. They had a pool table and a few other games. The bar is small but big on service. read more

Cheap beer? Check Catchy name? Check Off your normal crawl path? Check Add free popcorn ftw. My friend Tim just wants more firemen. Other than that, it's a fun little hole in the wall without pretense. Worth a stop. read more

Hosed On Brady - a gas station at night - Bars Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Hosed on Brady is pretty much your average Milwaukee dive bar. Not a ton going on, but they serve a reasonably priced drink and there's free shots if the fire department next door gets a call. Can't complain about that right! It's got your dim lighting, questionable regulars and sticky floors, welcome to Milwaukee y'all! Quick Tip - They do not accept credit cards. Apparently although we are in 2017, their payment system is not. read more

Um... Eh? Things I noticed upon entering "Hosed," in a perfectly particular order: #1 -- It's really really bright in here. Between the giant ass plasma ass LCD teevees rockin' college football and the neons and the actual lights themselves, you may need shades. Or more booze. #2 -- Maybe I'm just situated in the microcosm that I've created for myself, but they have WHIPPED CREAM VODKA. WTH is that? That shit is just. not. right. WHIPPED CREAM BOMBS BRAH!!!!!! #3 -- Since "Hosed" is situated behind Brady Street's resident firehouse, you can probably use that ol' noggin of yours to figure out what this spot's theme is. Ladders, hoses, patches... all fire dept. stuff, and it's everywhere. There are even pictures of "sexy" firemen in the women's bathroom. (read: not sexy) When I asked the heavily tattooed, friendly bartender if this place was indeed a hangout for the firefighters that work next door, he laughed and replied that the place was usually dead. Why we went here? None of the three of us had ever been, and well, why not? Life's all about adventure, right? I also thought "Hosed" has just opened, when in fact, it's been open over two years. Um. Free popcorn, off the beaten path, yes. These are good things. The rest, however? Sports bar meets Applebee's meets firehouse meets college bar. Not that it's awful, it's just not my scene. End scene. read more

This place is dirty and smells like vomit. The restrooms reek of urine. The drinks are cheap and service is slow. There are many more pleasant places to visit on Brady. Avoid this dump. read more

I learned about this bar recently and have found myself there with various friends 2 times within the last 3 weeks. Random. It's a dive. It's next to a firehouse and has a firefighter theme. It makes me laugh and they serve Sutter Home Pinot Grigio in champagne flutes. I got made fun of for my order but whatever...pass the grig. Dive bar. Firefighters. Brady Street. That's hosed. Oh! I almost forgot. When a firetruck drives past, a bartender walks around and offers everyone a free red shot. The contents of this shot are unknown. BUT, everyone takes it. read more

Yeesh. I don't like giving one star reviews so I was trying to think of something positive to say and I'm coming up empty handed here. This was the only place on Brady that wasn't absolutely packed following a Badgers tournament win. Shoulda been a sign. You walk in, and the space is actually pretty big. Maybe it looks bigger than it is because it's SO bright. I've never wanted to be at a bar that was THAT bright. Yikes. Let me drink in the dark please. I didn't see any sort of sign anywhere that said Hosed is cash only, but they are. The bartender, who took a while to ask us what we wanted, told us it was cash only, but only after he had poured our beers. There's an ATM with a $3 fee. I should mention that I was holding my card out the whole time, and if you see someone is actively trying to pay with a card, you should probably warn them. I almost wanted to leave right then. There was only one bartender and one barback, who looked very sad and not at all like she wanted to be there. She took a while to grab us some popcorn, but whatever. Oh yeah, and LOTS of loud pop-country. Ugh. read more

Cheap drinks, fun staff, and I was with a good group of friends! had fun and would come back again!

Hosed is my go-to dive on Brady Street. Every time I've been: * Friendly bartenders * Drinks at fair prices * Free popcorn with parmesan cheese (life changing--I've started doing this at home) They have taken the "hot" (won't force the pun but will force you to acknowledge the opportunity I had to make one) firefighter photos out of the women's bathroom. If that was a big attraction for you, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news. That said, it's still kitschy and dive-y and a great place to escape the rest of the Brady Street scene. I'm into it. read more

Great spot for cheap drinks on Brady. Friendly staff and a good environment. Cash only so keep that in mind but they do have ATMs inside for customers to use. read more

So.... this bar seems ok from the start. Cheap drinks and no frills. However start to play anything on the jukebox outside of top 40, at 2$ per play if my math serves me correctly, and have your songs skipped. Either limit your selections or own up to the chicanerous garbage you proliferate. First yelp review in about 4 years but this abhorrable trash and service made me come out of retirement. Sorry- if I wanted to listen to your fvckboy music I would have went elsewhere. read more

This place accepts cash only. I bought a $5 White Claw and had $10 in my wallet. I gave the bartender my $10 and he returned no change. I wasn't drunk enough to accept that. He literally did nothing for a $5 tip. I was with a group of girls so he probably assumed I was a dumb bitch and said I gave him $5. When I said I gave him $10 he made a scene and gave me a "free drink chip" or offered me $5 bill out of his tip jar. At that point I was embarrassed and accepted the free drink chip. Won't ever come back by my own choice. read more

I've been here twice. And both were poor experiences. This time around, the bartender was being a jackoff, ignoring customers and getting drunk. It took him 20 minutes to get me a drink, and he had the balls to slam my money down like I owed him something. Nevertheless to say he got a rare $0 tip from me. Will never come here again. Trashy spot on Brady St, with crappy service all around. Worst bar on Brady St by far. Avoid. read more

A place that had stale popcorn and flat beer. The place likely only gets people from its location and they insist on having hockey games from months ago on the TV screen I guess the owner is a fan of the Vancouver Canacks but I a not a fan of this bad bar. read more

If I lived here, I would go all the time. I love the atmosphere and the beer prices are good. They have free popcorn too!

Hosed is a great addition to Brady St. It is always comfortable, even for single women. The bartenders and owner are very welcoming. The outdoor seating in the summer is some of the best on Brady St. Love the free fresh popcorn and playing Cash Cab along with Jeopardy. Come on down and find out what all the hype is about!! read more

it's much nicer inside than it appears to be from the outside. you can go to happy hour eeeryday and scratch off these little cards and maybe get beers for $1 if you choose correctly. you can play dice with nice bartenders. you can watch jeopardy and wheel of fortune with the regulars. you can eat popcorn with parmesan cheese on it, like my grandpa made it. you can move in across the street and have hosed be your nightlight. read more

This place is a great neighborhood tavern! Open early daily! Great friendly staff! Plus in summer the outdoor seating is perfect!

I liked this bar. Until after FOUR consecutive Mariah Carey songs (and not even the good stuff) on Touch Tunes they turned off not only my pick but also my friend's pick that we paid money to play... for another Mariah Carey song. Have a f***ing juke box or don't have one, but don't have one if you're going to piss off people who were perfectly content spending good money getting drunk at your bar and just wanted to hear something else for a couple of songs. I want my 4 credits ($2) and your dignity back. read more

Hosed is a pretty average dive bar. On a good night, you can count on it as a place where its fairly easy to get a drink, play a game of darts, and maybe have a conversation with friends. My main issue is with their dishonest management of their internet jukebox. DO NOT waste your time or money doing this here. If Reed is working the bar, he will play his personal music over the sound system and tell you straight to your face that you should pay the premium to have your song off the jukebox played next. However, its up the bar tender to switch to that music source and play the music in queue on the machine. After speaking with Reed about how I hadn't heard my song after 20 minutes and NO ONE using the machine since I lined it up, a number of people around the bar said Reed won't switch to Jukebox music until well towards the end of the night. This is dishonest and frustrating. read more

Shit hole bar. As others have said, the wonderful aroma of piss and vomit hit you as soon as you enter. I would not recommend patronizing this establishment without being up to date on your tetanus shot. Enter at your own risk. Maybe bring some bleech with you and splash it around the entire bar. That might help. read more

Great place for the older gang, great happy hour, best bloody mary's, love the bartender Brian, best service, and makes great drinks. Had a blast on my b-day St pat's!! read more

Hosed is a friendly little fire station-themed bar. Brian's on duty Monday through Friday afternoons. He'll always greet you with a smile, an offer of fresh popcorn (sprinkled with grated cheese, if you wish!), and often one of his awesome music compilations. Happy hour includes pull tabs, a chance at a $1 or half-off drink. There are regulars seated at the bar, and you're likely to be invited to join the conversation. Daytime patrons are also treated to game shows like Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy -- this is not a sports bar! There are plenty of those around. You can also enjoy a game of pool or video/pinball games. It's not fancy, but it's clean, and it's fun. Try it; you'll like it! read more

This bar is chill. I go there often and I love it. Fun atmosphere with lots of Milwaukee locals. It's a dive bar with a lot of personality. If the fire dept gets called out during your visit you get a free shot. read more

Since I moved by brady St., Im still checking out bars that are local( walking distance). I like this place, Quiet, cheap drinks, and alot of cool locals. Love the roll of the dice happy hour! Get a draft $1, but my favorite is the bloody mary!! read more

I usually love hosed on Brady. Such a wonderful dive bar. Until I had a bartender named Lee. In no way shape or form were we being rude, however the BARTENDER was MAKING FUN of the customers. If the option to give a zero star was present I would. People go to a bar to feel welcomed. Not embarrassed. I'll never be going back. Which is sad, since I used to frequent there often. If I'm tipping you, at least pretend like you want to be there. Not impressed. read more
