I haven't been here in years and forgot how great this place is for bar food. This is one of my favorite fish fries in the city because it's hand breaded with a flavorful coating with flaky hot fish. The coleslaw is perfect because it's very fine with a celery seed. The rye bread is fresh and not dried out. My best advice is to get the breaded mushrooms. They are some of the best I've ever eaten because again they are hand breaded. On Fridays you must get free fresh cake again homemade not bought. We tried three of the desserts and they didn't disappoint. Drinks are a strong pour and if you're lucky the owners wife will serve you because she's awesome. Get your bootie to Stallis for some of the best bar food around. BTW their French dip was also really tasty.

The owner, Dean, always takes time to talk with us, which makes you feel genuinely welcome every visit. The food is better than you'd expect for a dive bar--we especially love their pizza (sausage, mushroom, and onion is our go-to). This last time we received free dessert too, bonus! They do a solid fish fry every Friday too--definitely worth stopping in for if you're local. If you're looking for a laid-back, friendly place with good food and great conversation, this is a great neighborhood find.

It's a clean looking dive bar full of regulars that didn't make you feel out of place and the young woman bar tending was very friendly. The young woman bar tending had the mouth of a sailor which I really liked, a real person and no dainty proper woman here. I felt like a Makers Mark which I asked if they had and she said let me look, she came back and said only Makers Mark 46. Ok let me get this straight, the dive bar doesn't have regular Makers Mark but they have the more expensive Makers Mark 46 OK. The game was playing on several TVs all over the bar which everything was into and it was not the packers playing. The sign on the wall had limited pizza options for food and all frozen I'm sure. Sundays are $3 mini pitchers of domestic beer which most people were having judging by how many were on the bar and the tip off to me asking if it was a special today. Overall it's a nice neighborhood dive bar with friendly people where you can hav a drink and relax.

It's a small neighborhood dive bar with a pool table TVs etc like any other neighborhood bar. As I walked in I noticed food all over pool table and other tables but no local games were on the TVs which was strange. The place was oddly packed and I got the last stool in the corner end of the bar. As I sat there drinking my cocktail the locals talked to me and invited me to the food which was cool. Suddenly happy birthday was being sung and it all made sense now because it was a surprise birthday party for one of the regulars and I was offered cake, how cool because I knew no one in the place. It's a very friendly neighborhood bar and not clikey at all.

It's a neighborhood dive bar with all regulars which is ok because they let me be the outsider. The bartender was friendly and once again has no idea of what a gin Rickey is. It's an older neighborhood bar with a pool table, wrap around bar, music machine etc. The music was kinda loud for early afternoon with 70s to 90s love songs, maybe a broken heart was in the bar. It has flat screens and cool stone walls with nice character which you don't see a lot but it's charming in a dive way.

Looks like my work schedule isn't changing any time soon so off on Monday is the norm for now and with so many places closed I'm finding out maybe Monday will become a drink in a new place that doesn't have much Yelp exposure or pictures, I can't eat out all the time like I used to but I still want to participate in Yelp. Today was Capt'n Nicks turn for a Steve stop by to check them out. I got rockstar parking at the front door which was cool. This is another neighborhood dive bar and I will try not to do dive bars only. The place is locals and they didn't me feel out of place at all and the woman bartender was friendly and sassy with the patrons, l like when there is a cool personality behind the bar instead of grumpy. Monday is some $1 dollar can special domestic I'm sure and not that I'm snob but my tastes have grown past that to the gins, bourbons and cocktails etc. I'm still a fan of the beer and burger lunch but cocktails is where I'm gravitating to as I get older. I have yet to meet a bartender who knows what a gin Rickey is, it started in the 1890s and it was very popular but no one drinks them today, it's a 0 sugar cocktail and if you're trying to keep your A1C level in check it's perfect. Yes she had no idea of how to make it so I had to explain the drink to her. Overall it's a friendly neighborhood dive bar with a great sassy short hair woman bartender who gives it back to you which makes for good bar banter.

Surprisingly this is no West Allis dive bar and it's pretty nice compared to the local competition was my first impression, hell even the mens room was probably the nicest for a West Allis local bar I thought with wood floors, clean looking and modern. It's the typical local bar with flat screens, games, music, taps etc etc. Josh was the bartender and he was very friendly and he did an outstanding job at being the face of the business. Surprisingly josh is one of the few bartenders in probably a 100 plus bars and restaurants who knew what a Gin Rickey is and as always anyone who knows how to make one with out asking how to I buy them a drink which he accepted. Overall it's a nice addition to the area and in now way like the old school dinosaur bars that line NationalAve.

They also have Dooby dogs outback which has some of the best fries with cheese sauce you'll have in the area. It's a small bar and they have a small enclosed patio. They also have I think two or three dollar Hamms.

It must be fairly new as I'm the first one to write a review of this place.  There may have been 10 seats at the bar and one table for four others. There's a pool table, bowling video game, and my personal favorite an oversized shake down game.  My buddies had a good time playing this game, buying rounds of beer. Not much for beer selection, but it was somewhat cheap.  I would recommend bring cash. I didn't have any and their ATM was out of service and there was $10 minimum for using a credit card....how convenient.
