    a bloody drink and a glass of water
    Genevieve K.

    Izzy Hops is the best place to go for a yummy brunch, especially if you're looking for (kind of) bottomless mimosas. It a great deal, because they just leave the bottle and OJ on the table and you can make the mimosas yourself. The bottles are cheap and perfect for a group to share. The menu has tons of different choices, so there's something for everyone. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, which is great for the summer. The aesthetic and service are awesome and this should definitely be the spot for your next brunch!

    BINGO, booze, bumping vibes Izzy hops is a great spot for date night, networking, community and to fill that belly up. They host regular trivia and bingo nights so be sure to check out their social media sites to get in on the action. This spot offered a ride range of beers and highlights some of Milwaukee local spots like Indeed Brewing. Get that pistachio beer if you haven't already. YUM! I ordered some fish tacos that would shine a little brighter with some different spices. Love the lighting in this place and the staff is quite helpful.

    Izzy Hops is a bar with nice ambience with a full bar and plenty of tap beers. The servers are friendly. They have a nice city patio for the few months out of the year we get to enjoy such pleasures in life. This bar definitely seems like it has all age ranges, and is not full of people who are freshly drinking age. This is a nice place to grab drinks with friends or even a first date!

    Izzy Hops always has a good selection of beers and the vibe is great for a casual hangout with friends on a week day or weekend night! I've done trivia here in the past, and I remember it being a great event for groups of people!

    Izzy Hops is a really beautiful space, it's hard to imagine it used to be Rascals! It has such a warm, cozy vibe like you're hanging out at home. Or maybe it's just how I want my home to look? We finally tried the food and the bf and I were impressed. The portabella sandwich was tasty and I had enough for lunch the next day. The Philly burger, although messy, was enjoyed thoroughly by my bf. We were a little out of luck the day we went, the first two taps we wanted to try ran out the night before. Their food order didn't come in that week so they were out of slaw and fries. We had the only other option as a side, homemade chips. I normally avoid chips at restaurants but they were actually good! Some were chewy which I liked, but most crispy. They were seasoned with Parmesan and parsley. I'll be back to try their brunch and other menu items. They have happy hour as well with $2 off apps and drink specials. They have several TVs if you want to catch a game. There's a back medium sized room which I believe you can rent out for a more private event.

    I stopped in a couple of weeks ago on a Friday night. The place was quiet when I arrived but the energy picked up within about 20 minutes of my arrival. Several groups of friends entered, set up camp at a table, and continued their fun night. This place seems to have become a popular neighborhood gathering place, which is cool. The crowd was mostly 20 somethings. I sat at the bar and ordered the Cajun Shrimp Wontons app, Italian Beef sandwich, and their J. Henry Maple Old Fashioned. I enjoyed the variety of upbeat, yet softly played music in that background which encouraged conversation. The Shrimp Wontons were delicious. I didn't taste the Cajun spices on the shrimp and the wonton wrap could have been a little crispier, but they were very good, simply filled with shrimp and cream cheese. I would order them again. The Italian Beef sandwich exceeded my expectations. The beef was tender and very well-seasoned. Giardiniera was served on the side, so you can control how spicy you want it, and a bold, flavorful jus was served on the side, so you can dip your sandwich if you want and not have a drippy, sloppy mess or not dip at all and enjoy the sandwich as is. I would definitely order this again and highly recommend it! The sandwich comes with house made potato chips that are dusted with parmesan. I liked them for the most part. I especially appreciated that they weren't cooked in dirty oil, so they didn't have the dark brown, burnt, bitter flavor to them. Most chips were crispy, while some had a stale texture. The J. Henry Maple Old Fashioned was great! If you prefer a slightly sweeter old fashioned, this one does the job. In the category of bars that serve food, I give Izzy Hops and Nosh 5 stars. I would say my expectations were exceeded here.

    Shoutout to Nadia!!!!! She was the best bartender and had amazing recommendations! We're from Texas so we didn't know too many spots. We drove past this bar as everything else was super packed from shamrock shuffle. It looked kind of empty so we were hesitant. I'm so glad we decided to stop here. We got here around 11pm and kitchen closed at 10pm so we were not able to try the food. We are not IPA people, but the kombucha blueberry basil was super good! Shout out again to Nadia for giving us a sample! The service was amazing. After an hour or two everyone was gone and it was only us 2 and Nadias mom and friend. They were so cool and friendly! Loved everyone!! Sorry Nadia, I know we said we were coming back on Sunday but we kind of overslept and felt sick....LOL. I hope to visit Milwaukee and Izzy Hops again!! 10/10

    So they have trivia on Tuesdays! We popped in for dinner and had a great time! Wings, nachos, cheese curds, and a house salad - everything was good as expected. Heard the nachos were what's up and were a tad disappointed that they didn't come on the usual tray, but still were delicious!

    Mimosas!
    Alison H.

    Super cute place inside! Small but has a nice back room with lots of seating. We went on a Saturday for brunch and it got pretty busy around 1pm. You order mimosas by the bottle for a decent price which is fun! The burger was great but the fries were the star for sure. Great place for brunch/mimosas

They have their menu online, limited toppings, but we called ahead to place the order. He said it would be ready in 10 minutes. The pizza size isn't online but I measured and it's 14". First impression of the pizza when they handed it to me was that it needed more cheese. I still think that's true after baking it. I was tempted to add more of my own but wanted to eat it as it came. Tons of toppings though! The sausage was really good too. Never being there but knowing they have cannoli (no dessert case seen), I asked what flavors and got a strange look like there must be only one flavor lol. Okay, I'll take whatever that one is! The man went into the back to fill it for me and I will say it was delicious and was I guess just a plain cream with maybe some vanilla. They aren't open very late so get there early if you want dinner. Like before 5pm. Several others came in to get sandwiches while we were there and said they are great. The space is not very big, it's mostly counter and register but they do have a few tables if you want to sit. You can tell by who was working that they are a family run business and I'm happy to support them in the future! I will ask for extra cheese!

A good friend of mine cooked at B&B for a while. As young, recent college grads, my wife and I regularly ate there. Along with Oriental Drugs, the Blue River Cafe, The Outpost and Century Hall, B&B was a favorite, comforting go-to spot. Although I couldn't visit very often during my 25 years on the west coast, I was so very happy to know that it was still here, and as wonderful as ever, when I returned to Wisconsin in 2008. How funny to think that this tremendous haven for those wanting to include at least some vegetarian foods in their diet occupied the spot once known for Frenchy's restaurant (the place famous/infamous for its bear and lion steaks)! I'll need a new place to eat before going to the Oriental Theater. And I'll need a long time to process the sadness I feel. All the best to the owners and staff . . . and here's hoping that maybe B&B will live on in another location.

    First time here…read more Food: We were excited to try some Somali/African cuisine. For beverages, we ordered the chai tea and the mango smoothie. I was expecting a plain chai tea, but what I received was actually a chai latte. What a wonderful surprise! It wasn't the type of chai latte I might expect from a local coffee shop, but it was better than many I've had. We started with a couple of veggie sambusas. They were excellent. Hot, crisp, and fresh, with a generous filling and served with a side of mint chutney. Together, they made a fantastic flavor combination. We also ordered hummus and pita bread. Both were fresh, tasty, and well presented. The final part of our meal was the Goat Platter. It arrived hot and fresh, with generous portions. The goat meat was delicious and tender. The serving was large enough that I took half home, and it will make great leftovers. Service: The gentleman at the counter was friendly and efficient. He was very attentive, bringing each item to our table. He seemed genuinely proud of the food, its presentation, and our reaction to it. There was also a woman in the back, whom I believe was doing most of the cooking, and I had a chance to thank her as well. Atmosphere: The restaurant is small and unassuming. It was clean and well lit, thanks to the large front windows. It appears that most of their business is takeout, but there are several tables available for dining in. We were the only people eating there during our visit, so it was very quiet. Overall: We were super impressed with this little spot serving excellent Somali/African food. The quality of the food, the warm service, and the generous portions made for a wonderful first experience. We'll definitely be back.
