Drinks are affordable. The bartender was a lovely older woman with kind eyes and a big German Shepherd colleague. The outside space is adorable, although be warned, the lattice cover over the patio screams and creaks like it has been possessed. Even though this feels like a hidden gem, the bar drew constant visitors even early on a Saturday evening. One challenge - parking in the area is extremely limited.

But finally a friend brought me in for a drink. Very cozy bar so I usually sit out among the wild collection of dark wood tables and chairs. There is so much antique, curious, and fascinating furniture, signs, vintage decor to observe and just immerse yourself in the surprise discovery of this collection in a pub! There is usually one bartender working, but they are always friendly, quick to take your order, and friendly. This place is an adventure of a bar in the best possible way!

They now offer food and many promotions like Trivia Night, pool tournaments, South Milwaukee High School fundraisers, trips to Ireland/England, and then there's St. Patrick's week. Morans takes over Milwaukee Avenue with daily events and an outdoor Irish festival, which never disappoints. With World Cup upcoming this summer. I look forward to spending a lot of time and money there :). If you've never visited, this summer is a great opportunity to do so. Cheers!

Service and atmosphere were fantastic!…read more Popped in here over the holidays for the first time. The bartender was incredibly welcoming and warm and gave us his full attention even though there were plenty of other people already at the bar. As a first timer, that really made me want to return. The atmosphere was so cozy. The lighting and temperature were warm and the music was at a good level - not too loud, not too quiet. Though they don't have a pool table - which is what we were after - they have plenty of board games. We had a beer each and played several rounds of Shut the Box. Thanks for the great service! We will definitely be returning with friends.

As soon as I walked into Foggy Dew I felt comfortable. There was something different about this…read morebar, although the clientele looked typically Milwaukee South Side. They were polite, kind and welcoming. The guy sitting next to me gave up his seat for my friend. I bought him a drink to thank him, but he didn't acknowledge it, probably embarrassed. That's typical of Foggy Dew. Nick was our bartender, and he was friendly and answered my barrage of questions. Foggy Dew will be a destination bar for me. The decor was unique, but the differences were subtle. I loved the fact the Dew was in a residential neighborhood. That added to its panache. It was a cool bar. I liked it. I think you will too.

To your right is another bar with a bigger area AND a roomy patio. To your left, there is the biggest room with a small stage and the DJ on opposite ends. Wait there is also another patio! There's also a bar across from the patio. You keep walking through Jo cats to the last room in the back with a bar in the middle and another patio! These patios are pretty roomy too. Great places for a fresh breath of air or a smoke break. I've never had a bad time with the bartenders or bouncers. Drinks are solid and do the job. The music is typical bar music. You can definitely wait to hear a song you like. The atmosphere just isnt for me. It can be packed in Jo Cats and it still looks boring. We walked through the entire bar. Not a single song pulled us to the dance floor. I try to only come when there's no cover so I dont feel salty about wanting to leave.

You could definitely still find a spot to watch the game. They have tv's everywhere. Watch the game while you order your drink, you can mingle there or find a different tv. The energy was always good. I often went to the watch parties myself and I still had a good time being around this atmosphere. I saw the longest lines for the Mexico games. The line was moving so slow I don't even think it was worth waiting in the line when you can see the screen from the street. I loved that they blocked off Brady St for the final and added another big screen! I noticed that they had a double rail mixer special for $8. I asked if this included vodka red bulls . A bartender told me yes and I paid $8. Next time I paid $10. The next, $12. Thats pretty normal for a vodka red bull anyways. I was just t about the double rail mixer and I wish the pricing was more consistent. The drinks were good every time. The service was also good. Overall, I would come watch other soccer games here. I wonder if they play the Liga MX games. I guess I'll find out soon since that already started!

The place is on the corner with street parking and bigger on the inside than it looks. I meet dick while I was there and Liz was my server. For a neighborhood bar everyone was friendly and welcoming, no one of those click bars. The place is definitely dated in a good dive way with pool table, atm, music machine, gambling machines etc etc. I got so tired over the years of the same 4 old pictures so a steve stop by was desperately needed. I ordered a gin Rickey which is like over 140 years old and once popular but not today and I get the same confused look every time I order one. The menu is small and I will post a picture of it but I ordered the hot wings .75 cents with a minimum of 10, $7.50 is great for wings at this time in a restaurant. The wings are deep fried and finished off on the char grill, char grill is my favorite so I will need to try a cheeseburger next time. My wings looked good for a neighborhood bar that were medium sized so not tiny but not jumbo and just right. My wings were cooked perfect and still moist that were average so my favorite wing place is still safe. Overall it's a nice friendly bar that is definitely reasonable with two tall double cocktails and an order of wings for $19.50, hell some restaurants have wings for $16 on the menu now days. It's a great place to meet some new people and a conversations with new people. I would definitely go back again and I will.
