Jenneca, the bartender who served us the entire time, made sure of that. Not only did she give us great service, but she made us feel like we were part of her community. She spoke to us like we were family and made two Angelenos feel like this was home. I truly did not know what to expect being out here, but I felt like I didn't want to leave. Jenneca was exceptional -- not only in her way of speaking to people, but also made lovely drinks. If I could move to Milwaukee now, I would, solely because I found a community in a place away from home, and that is so difficult to find.

Not overly wild just a group getting together for raffles and a home cooked meal by Debbie! Best part ... the only true blues bar that I'm aware of every Friday. The generosity of this place that supports the community of silver city is admirable.

The place has a dedicated parking lot which is nice but street parking was plentiful at lunch time. As I walked up a sign in front says Sunday $3.50 Bloody Mary with a Miller light chaser so I guess I'm having the Sunday special now because when in Rome. The place is definitely unique with antiques on the walls and ceilings from a stretcher, bikes pedal cars etc. the bar has a long bar with a pool table and games on the upper level. I ordered the Bloody Mary spicy but Pabst was an option for the chaser so since it's a former Milwaukee beer I chose that over Miller light. The Bloody Mary was as expected nothing special and Pabst is Pabst so your typical neighborhood bar drinks. The menu is small and cheap so I wasn't expecting much but I ordered the $3.50 cheeseburger that comes with pickles or onions, raw or fried so I chose raw. I saw what looked to be a hand formed patty come out of a zip lock bag, the pizza oven was opened up and a sheet of foil was inserted and my burger went in, these crazy mofo's are making cheeseburgers in a pizza oven. You get ketchup and mustard set next to you for when your burger is done. There is a hot pot next to the pizza oven with probably the soup or chili of the day. It's a very basic cheeseburger on a generic white bun with raw onions and generic razor thin pickle slices. The cheeseburger was actually good because it was a fresh hand formed patty that was juicy with a nice beef flavor I thought. It's not super huge so if you have a bigger appetite than order 2 or get the soup or chili. This was a pretty reasonable for the experience of a new place with drinks and a small lunch with the $3.50 cheeseburger, 3.50 Bloody Mary with a glass of Pabst and $3.00 tip which = $10. Look I'm not proud because you could find me in a nice place or a hole in the wall because I like trying everything and I don't discriminate.

The guy basically said everyone is welcome, but I'm only one here and I'm slow. He was very nice even with the very drunk people. If you're looking for interesting dive bar this is more interested than many. The guy asked me what I wanted and I was like I'm beyond good. And he gave me a water in a scotch glass and kept telling people it was vodka if it came up. The had Guinness for $8. Otherwise they had several different kinds of light beer and a decent selection of non top shelf liquor. In order to use the stall you have to shimmy/touch the person currently using the urinal. The ceiling tiles in the back look like they are falling down. They have a nice futsbol table and two picnic tables in the back patio.

Many regulars but they are very friendly and don't shun strangers. The owner Mario is a hoot because he loves to play bar dice for shots. He's an old Italian guy who had some interesting ties to the Balistreri family if you catch my drift There is a cute outside seating area during the summers. Prices are very reasonable for a good pour. Every second Saturday of the month they have a raffle drawing plus meat raffles which is so Wisconsin. Don't come here looking for a craft cocktail because this isn't your place Grab a stiff drink, play some games of chance and meet some very friendly people. It's worth the little drive out of your way to find this hidden gem

It's a local dive bar and clearly a regulars place but they were friendly and said hi as I walked in. No food from what I could tell but one regular offered popcorn from the self serv machine which she says was a good batch this time. I live no near this place but as a local bar and I can see it's charm. I ordered a Gin Rickey and it looked dark after explaining twice to the bartender how to make it and it was absolutely awful because he made it with JB whisky and not Gin, whiskey, seltzer and lime juice with a fresh lime doesn't mix very well at all.

Once inside, the friendly host staff will ask you for the password. Heck, if I can figure it out, anyone can. Then we were shown to the table. The ambiance is certainly 80's feeling with the music and the relics of the era. Even though the menu is limited, the restaurant still offers great options. Riley, server, had greet us shortly after arriving. My friend order an Old Fashion (when you're in WI...) and I had ordered the Shamrock Shake with a shot of whiskey (we visited Milwaukee near St. Paddy's Day). Both of us ordered the Fish Fry. The drinks were delivered within a few minutes. The Shamrock Shake was certainly well worth it. Then few more minutes, the entrees were delivered. The three pieces of fish were very meaty and great crust. The well seasoned fries were very tasty. Riley had checked in couple of times with us. Great service, great food and great 80's music. Enjoy!!

All I came here for was mini bowling, and I got that in spades. It was a Sunday night, so two lanes were open with no reservation needed. I opened a tab at the bar, headed back to the awaiting lanes, and proceeded two bowl a couple games in quick succession. Unless you have a large crew, there won't be much sit and wait time, like on a regular lane. Note that it is manual scoring. They do provide a cheat sheet to help with this, and it may help as well to number your frames, just in case you get lost in all the up and down. Since it is residential, you might have to circle the block a few times to find parking, but don't let that deter you. A walk back to the car might be the perfect excuse to stop by the food truck across the street.

A Milwaukee icon on the south side! This is a legendary bar that moonlights as a mini bowling…read morealley. Location is a little sketchy, and this is definitely a dive bar at its finest, but the real star of the show is the duck pin bowling located in the back. For those not familiar, it's a much shorter, elevated lane than regular bowling. Select from different weighted, softball size balls and roll it down the lane. It's much easier than regular bowling and scores tend to be high, so it's a nice ego boost and tons of fun! And instead of a machine re-racking the pins, there are teenagers that sit back there to set them up. Tips: Cash only for the bowling which is $5 dollars a person. Make sure to tip your pin setters! Its best to call in advance to reserve a lane, but walk ins welcome. There are four lanes and you can rent one or more for an hour and a half each. They bowl super late, and is an awesome spot to hang out with a group and play a few rounds! Come knock some pins down at this legendary spot!

As always I ordered agin Rickey and the bar tender had no idea what it is so I had to explain it to her.
