They have bands throughout the year and in summer they have an outside tent so you can watch live music in the warm weather. It's a really nice dive bar that she spent money on making nice. The pizza is a definite buy because it's homemade by an amazing Italian cook. I call this place my living room because I can stagger there from my house. It's such a cute place if you haven't been you need to try it.

An absolute gem of a dive bar in the Milwaukee area. It has everything! Fun decor (especially in…read morethe bathrooms :)), a back room with pool tables and darts. Free popcorn with tons of seasoning flavors! A bowl of free dum dums. And HOMEMADE pickle shots! I love getting pickled at Patti's!

True Score: 5 Star Dive Bar…read more Best Decor in Milwaukee This was my favorite bar in Milwaukee. That's saying a lot in this city because old school character dive bars are abundant. You walk into Jamo's and you're immediately and entirely in Jamo's world, which is intimate and unpretentious and dimly lit and anachronistic. It's stuck out of time (it could be 1951 or 1983 or 2002, though the clocks on the wall will tell you it's always after 5) and place (a block from Brady Street, but nestled snugly into its neighborhood, disdainful of the nearby buzz), with its own people and practices, a distinct sense and style. Jamo's is an old corner tavern, the quintessential dive bar. It's the definition of a hidden gem. There are no gimmicks here - besides being cash-only, Jamo's also sells cigarettes, and a young dude comes in and buys a pack at one point - and no real aspirations to be anything more than a simple, straightforward, old-school neighborhood spot with good drinks and good conversation. And it is that. By far the best hidden gem in Milwaukee. A must stop if your visiting. Thanks

I've known Jamo's for years and spent time there in my younger and dirtier days. I'm older and…read morecleaner now, but still enjoy an occasional buzz out on the town. Jamo's is the kind of place to lose yourself in. Steal a surreal moment and disappear into the looking glass of Jamo's. Patrons are friendly, the owner is a Milwaukee icon, and sometimes good looking people show up willing to converse. On the other side of the coin, Jamo's is a neighborhood bar with a heart, taking care of its regulars. I liked observing that after living with the Seattle freeze here in the Pacific Northwest. The bartender can be greedy if you're not a regular, so be careful with your cash, but that vigilance is part of getting that buzz on. Jamo's is Milwaukee noir. Cherish it.

From the outside it is so bland and you are truly unsure if you are walking into an abandoned building or a crappy towny bar. Once you enter, it may take your eyes a moment to adjust if you are coming in from a bright sunny day. Foundation Bar has super low lighting, very moody. There is ample seating and a few different seating options; bar stools, booths, high top tables. Seat yourself. To order drinks you walk up to the bar. There is not table service. The decorations here are great! There are some really incredible pieces and collections! Some I would love to have if I could find them. This is a very laid back atmosphere, very chill not loud or overbearing so relax and enjoy the ambiance. I believe my drink was called El Diablo and was very good. My boyfriend chose a Zombie which is always strong! He preferred my drink!

I could've stayed here for hours! Drinks were strong, authentic, and very reasonably priced. I loved the mystery rum mixes and how every drink is so different.
