This is a true Wisconsin drive bar. It was packed on a Saturday. There was one bartender for the…read morewhole bar, about 3 slot machines and a pull tab machine. Their cocktails are $10 but definitely a joint you grab a beer. There was a friendly and wide range of bar goers. At one point the whole bar sung happy birthday to someone so I'd say this is a nice Midwest bar to grab a drink.

It was perfectly balanced with the right amount of kick and came with some garnishes as well. Newport has great vibes, friendly staff, and definitely a new go-to spot for our Bloody Marys!

Time to update the review since it's under new ownership..well not really new because it's been a…read morefew years. The owner always throws a huge spread for parties. 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!

Stopped by this bar in our neighborhood for fish fry takeout after walking past so many times and…read moresaying we need to try it because the sign is so funny. The fish fry was pretty good. I've had better but I've had worse. Absolutely loved the potato pancakes and fries. I got the feeling that everyone there knows each other. It reminds me of dive bars in small town Wisconsin, so it's kind of fun to get that same feeling in the city. I'd like to stop in sometime and sit at the bar rather than do takeout - I think that would give us the full experience.

I may never completely understand Milwaukee. It may look a little scary but nothing bad has ever happened to me here.

How can you not love (or at least vaguely enjoy) this fun and oddball bar in Bayview. But who…read moredoesn't love an oddball? I love Blackbird's wild and eclectic decor. I feel very much at home because we share very similar tastes in home decor. It feels very cozy as soon as I enter this bars. I believe we had two wonderful bartenders who took our order and quickly brought back out drinks. Great service, dimly but warmly lit (which I love to help me avoid migraine triggers), lots of conversation and chattering going on around us. Also, PINBALL! My partner and I spent a decent chunk of change having all the fun. You should really go. And experience it all!
