Sadly, no bumper stickers here. The Stone does have a pretty great beer list, great bartenders, darts and a really cool jukebox. Popcorn with all the delicious flavors of popcorn shaker thingies. I think that they're dog friendly too.

The place: Two is easy to overlook. From the outside, it…read morelooks like another indescribable dive with the stone exterior and only one window up high. The sign is a single numeral, 2. Hubsy gushed about this bar enough that I resisted until Saturday night when I felt restless. Inside, Two is a low-lit neighborhood bar. There's a fair number of large tables for groups and the booths noted by other reviewers behind bead curtains. Two glows like the inside of a supernatural heart. Warm, red, and playing some solid music -- some I recognized (Death Cab for Cutie) and others I didn't (the bluesy tune). There's a jukebox. The location: Located next to its flashier cousin, Art Bar, it's easy to miss Two. About 3-4 blocks west of Humboldt on Burleigh, use Art Bar as your landmark. There's plenty of unmetered street parking on Burleigh or the residential streets. The service: When we walked in, we were greeted immediately by the bartender. She also asked if we had ever been there before. Based on the people who came in after us, my guess is that she knows the regulars. Very cool. The drinks: My first sip of Dark and Stormy was all rum. I didn't mind, so when I stirred, it was perfectly balanced. Good ginger beer, good rum. The Moscow Mule Hubsy got was sweeter than my drink which was surprising but delightful. Each of our drinks were $8.50. I didn't pay attention to the beer specials, but maybe next time. Next time: I'll probably stay longer to do some people-watching and writing. Maybe I'll check out the beer.

The common vibe is retro quirk and Two is the ultimate in decor. Be sure to check out the cute two-seater booths behind the curtains. The event pricing and catering is quite reasonable. They offer a great balance of veggie friendly and omnivore options. We went for their artichoke dip (so good!), little pigs in blankets (super popular with the crowd), bruschetta (excellent, fresh), General Tso's style chicken sliders (people raved), pork sliders (I heard good noises), a salmon sandwich and a Mediterranean veggie sandwich (very good). The food was a hit. I think some of the bread got a little overly firm and the salmon was a tad fishy, but everything else was amazing. Kudos to the staff for bringing us to-go containers for the excess. My guests were thrilled. We went with an open bar system, up to a limit and provided our guests with our own drink tickets. Our dedicated bartender, Erin, was super. She was friendly and patient, even though our 20 guests kept her hopping the whole time. Since the ice cream drinks are time-intense, we might have benefited from a bar back to help her out. The one problem, that couldn't be resolved, was terrible AC and no air flow. My fun, retro-elegant cocktail party was filled with hot, sweaty guests. I was disturbed to hug all comers with visible perspiration. Ack. They really, really, really need to upgrade the cooling. I love this place, but that was wilting. Still, a good time was had by all. Kudos for having CBD and non-alcoholic options to cover the spectrum,

It's no frills, but perfect for a beer (I got a Modelo!) and pool game on a chill night with friends. Plus, their pepperoni pizza made for the perfect snack--something you don't find just anywhere at a bar pretty late in Milwaukee. And the staff brought the pepperoni pizza out so quickly! I will most definitely be back.

They have 3 tables and some of the best shots in the city are regulars. You will definitely learn a thing or two! If that's not your thing just stop in a for a few drinks and enjoy the atmosphere.

The place has a rectangular bar in the back with a couple pool tables in front of it and gaming machines on the side. They have plenty of TVs to see from all angles. I didn't like the bar height to stool height was my first thought because it felt unnatural because they didn't match well. Four taps was all I could see but I couldn't read them and probably all domestic considering the bar, it's definitely dive but not in a good way. The drinks were reasonably priced with the tall rail gin Rickey at $3.50 and I think my Makers mark was about $7 so I downed a $20 spot with tip for a leisurely 3 drinks. As far as I could tell popcorn and frozen pizza is as good as the food gets with the pizza next to me looking dark and over cooked but the customer could have asked for it that way. The woman bar tender was nice and talked to me but the place is definitely a clicky crowd and you definitely know you are an outsider. I really didn't like the vibe of the place at all and my buddy talking about playing pool there got me in but it's not a bar for me.
