My kids had a day off of school so I took my boys who are beginners to a two hour bay rental. We were greeted when we entered and the place is very relaxing. The host helped us set up the simulator and asked if we needed anything. Great service. The simulators (8 of them) are great and fairly private which was nice as I had 3 kids with me. Our bay had great recliners and we were able to enjoy our time there. We ordered a bunch of appetizers for food and they all came out hot and we're great to share. Overall the food we ordered was not 5 star but I wasn't expecting that. They have a full bar too which is great to have as well. Overall, STIX is a great place to visit for any level of golfer and a friendly environment. We had a great time there and I love that it is locally owned! The only thing I wished was there were more bays and more open times as it seems to always fill up! I know in the last year they already expanded bays and are adding a small pro shop. I am a fan and will be returning soon!

Tied House is easily one of the best cocktail bars in Milwaukee. From the moment you walk in, the…read moreatmosphere strikes the perfect balance between cozy and upscale--dim lighting, thoughtful decor, and just the right energy for a great night out. The cocktails are exceptional. Every drink feels carefully crafted, with unique flavor combinations that still remain approachable. You can tell the bartenders really know their craft--they're happy to make recommendations and clearly take pride in what they're serving. Service was just as impressive as the drinks. Friendly, attentive, and never rushed, even when the place gets busy. It's the kind of spot where you feel taken care of without it being over the top. Whether you're going for a date night, catching up with friends, or just want a high-quality cocktail, Tied House delivers every time. Definitely a five-star experience and a place I'll keep coming back to.

I'd complain about the pricing because $13-$15 for a 1.5oz shot of Tito's is crazy imo, BUT for the elevated yet relaxed atmosphere? Fine. And I'm not ordering a shot of Tito's when literally everything we tried on their menu was FANTASTIC. The flavors were original and creative. I love the variety of glasses, and the garnishments. Negatives: our waiter brought our check before even asking if we were done. He didn't come back. I eventually had to go to the bathroom and caught up with someone else that could help me as I wanted to get a small bottle of the Banana Ramma to go home. That made up for it. Overall, loved the experience! Not a place to go often unless you have the (which, I'm jelly bc I absolutely would be here more). But a great place for a special night out.

Canned beer was generally about $6-10 and you can see prices with the table side QR. The employees were friendly and I appreciated a staff person also keeping an eye on people as they participated to make sure they were being safe. We also got a quick rundown on what to do and how to stay safe. Very easy to start out but a bit tough to hone your aiming. They have a lot of metal things to shoot at so you can feel good when you hear a "ping!"

Before being invited to a kid's birthday party here, I've never heard of 1st and Bowl. Now my…read morefamily & I want to come all the time! How are local people not talking more about this spot?! What a hidden gem! 1st and Bowl is unique "sports bar" with so many fun things to do for people of all ages. The gaming areas included separate spaces for kids and adults, like the football bowling & connect-4 basketball. There were also pickleball courts, cornhole boards, billiards tables, golf simulators, lots of screens with different live games on, and in my opinion, the creme de la creme: the Nerf Wars arena. Lights off, black lights on, all out fun! I haven't had that much excitement playing with Nerf guns in years! Some other things observed but didn't get to experience were the full bar and a full kitchen --both looked clean, well stocked, and ready for orders. Lots of comfortable seating, tables, and little private "rooms" around the courts to chill in while playing/eating. All of the separate areas looked very clean and organized, with clearly written game instructions for the various games visible by each court. From what I saw and experienced on the day I went, I'm pleasantly impressed with this place. If you're looking for a new place to have a kid's or adult's birthday celebration, a place for a first date (or 2nd or 3rd!), something to do on the weekend with your kids, a place to hang out casually with friends, family, coworkers, literally whatever the occasion -- than look no further than 1st and Bowl. This venue is top notch!

There is a full service bar and kitchen which offers a variety of pizzas, nachos, and other odds and ends. There's also pull tabs and an ATM. The space is available for both kids and adult parties, as well as corporate events and fundraisers. Adult parties, depending on size, run from $250-$760. Kids parties from $195-$500. Food and drinks were basic but good. The space is rather rudimentary, and on really cold winter days gets a bit chilly. Still, the open spaces are well organized and set up. A nice place for friends and families to spend time being active inside when being outside is not an option.

It's great that they offer a few non-beer alternatives for those who prefer our alcohol sans hops. Service was good when I visited. The bartender seemed pretty involved with the patrons already seated inside, but he did what needed to be done efficiently. And yes, it is dog friendly, which is great if you're a dog looking for night out at the bar. I find myself getting a little tired of never finding an animal free patio space anymore - don't get your pitchforks - I love them, but I'm allergic. Also, my cats and I appreciate some "me time" so they're just as glad that I leave then alone when I go out and don't force them to come with me to the bar. I think so dogs might feel the same.

Speakeasies are my favorite type of bar and love that this one is tucked away down Black Cat Alley,…read morewhere you need to press a button to gain access through the gate. We had made reservations so I'm not sure if one can just simply walk up and hit the button to get in for a table. The speakeasy itself is intimate, with dimmed lighting and limited seating. The table we were at was quite small so wouldn't accommodate much more than our drinks, the candle and perhaps if you wanted to reach over for your date's hand. The drink menu isn't your basic drink menu so be prepared for creative concoctions, with ingredients and spirits blended to perfection and served up in a beautiful glass. Our server was friendly and our drinks came quickly. Prices are a little above average but you're paying for the experience as well as the quality of the drink you're not getting everywhere else. The experience was memorable and a place I'd be happy to return to again for a lovely evening.

We ordered a couple cocktails and they were interesting, but not the best I've ever had. They felt like they'd been created to focus on being unique, rather than on winning flavor combinations. Sadly, our server was also distracted and kind of awkward, chasing us out into the courtyard to secure a credit card as if we were going to drink and ditch. His manner did not add to the overall experience. I've been meaning to try this place forever and now I can cross it off my list and move onward to better drinks and service
