    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!

    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

    **July 2025: Wednesday Lunch Visit**…read more While I was researching iconic food in Wisconsin I came across an item called Butter Burger which sounded so decadent and delicious. My friend and I were only exploring Milwaukee for a day so we wanted to make sure that we picked a good spot to try this region favorite. AJ Bombers came up consistently ranked on top for really great burgers. We came on a weekday so parking was pretty easy, but it is metered street parking. The restaurant is located at the corner of a large building and since we arrived right at opening we were seated right away. We ordered the following -Cheese Curds $9 - These were delicious. Nice and crispy, almost had an airfried texture to it so it tasted healthier than others that I've tried -Bomb Butter Burger $14 - The meat was very juicy and overall a good burger -Milwaukee Burger $12.50 - This was a fantastic burger and I think I preferred this to the Bomb Butter Burger. The flavors were more balanced IMHO -Tater Tots and Fries: The burgers all came with a side and I enjoyed both! They were freshly fried and served hot. The tots made me feel really nostalgic since those were things I remember eating growing up. The unfortunate news is that this restaurant despite all the accolades will be closing later in 2025. It's served Milwaukee for 16 years and while I'm bummed that they'll be closing their doors later this year I'm glad that I got enjoy one of Milwaukee's best. If you get a chance to check them out their decor also has a lot of personality.

I haven't been in years, but it was sad to see that they don't give out peanut like they used to and they were not all over the floor. There was a singular waitress there but she was nice and checked in on us. I ordered the Milwaukee Burger. I loved the onions on it and added tomato to it. I thought the burger itself was ok. Not too much flavor, I wish it was a little more pink. It would've been better if the bun was more toasted as well. I ordered onion rings, fried pickles, and cheese curds. Cheese curds and onion rings were really good, but the frickles were huge and every time I would take a bite the pickle would come out of the batter and I would be stuck with the plain batter alone. Overall loved the ambiance and I was miss Aj Bombers and its history.

While other restaurants in the district had hour and a half plus waits, we practically owned the place sitting wherever we liked. On event days they have a reduced menu. As they were slow, the kitchen gracefully allowed us to place a regular menu Crustless Grilled Cheese with Tomato Bisque order for our kiddo. I ordered the LP Burger with bacon ($14 + $2.5 - double smash, sharp american cheese, shredded lettuce, fresh tomato, shaved red onion, LP sauce, potato roll) and my wife ordered the Potato Chip Crusted Chicken Sammy ($12 - honey mop glaze, mayo, shredded lettuce and pickles). The bar has a fair amount of good bourbons and at decent prices for being in the deer district, such as the double neat pour of Stagg I had. There was one bartender/server for the place, but she knew how to hustle while still being super friendly. The interior could use some art on the walls, but is bright and clean otherwise. The food was delicious and presented very well. That bacon I paid extra for? Oh my goodness. Thick cut, perfectly cooked, so dang good. Usually I regret adding bacon but here it is a must. My 8-year-old kiddo, who is practically a vegetarian at this point, devoured her grilled cheese and half of the big bowl of soup. I never even saw my wife's chicken sammy, so you know it was good when it goes down that fast. Thankfully as our food arrived the place started to fill, as they deserve to be filled! I want to come back on a non-event day to try the shrimp poboy, their house dry rub wings, as well as on the weekend for their brunch.
