    I don't know exactly why it has taken me so long to see a show at Turner Hall Ballroom, but here we are. A stunning building. Cream city bricks and lovely embellishments (as one would see in a historic building and (maybe) ballroom. The bar was very quick and on point drink wise. It did not take long at all to be served. The show was fantastic! I did appreciate the digital boards sharing upcoming shows and events. I do have a question about the ceiling of Turner Hall. There was a giant swath of netting underneath the ceiling. It appeared to be there to catch the falling ceiling? I don't understand the lack of restoration on (what I thought) a historic building. Plaster was all over the netting. So confused. Money? Politics? Lack of interest? Indifference? Yet, a lovely place to see a show!

    Got a good spot!

    Great venue!! I was a little worried about queueing in the cold before the doors opened, but the staff are clearly very seasoned and had a plan to have us wait in line inside downstairs. The ballroom itself is on the second floor. I could feel the whole floor shaking when the crowd was really into the act and jumping around, which I just loved. There was a cash coatcheck (needed), and the bar was able to run cards for those w/o foresight. I'd love to see a show here again!!

    If you wan't to support squatters from Haiti eating family pets, then go here I guess?

    Arguably the venue I went to (hosted here) went well, but patrons shouldn't have to view banners of nation-destroying, far-left ideologies as they enter the hall. There were also a lot of ticket fees tacked on to the event. A 25 dollar ticket turned into 40 dollars at checkout. I would assume these are fees being pushed onto the customer by the ballroom to cover bar expenses? I will note that the bars were well-tended and drinks were quality. The negatives combined with the extremely dangerous traffic around the area ensure that I probably won't ever attend an event here again. I'll take my money elsewhere so I don't support communism or die in a car accident leaving the area.

    Drinks before the game

    Service | games | pre-game Service: definitely ranks in terms of the bottom 10 restaurants of my life with regards to sit down meal service. Monica and I made a day trip to Milwaukee to watch a Bucks game on New Year's Day. We were walking around and wanted to grab a drink, some food and watch the first half of the rose bowl game before heading over to the arena. We sat for 24 minutes, talked To the hostess 3 times before our waiter took our order. We were Not the only ones in this spot... we were sounded by 6 other tables and 5 had similar experiences, since we all were sat within 5 minutes of each other. One table with six people (looked to be grandfather, father, and son group) did not receive drinks until After we were already half way through our meal (about 50 minutes). - the restaurant wasn't overwhelmed, it appeared their staff lacked a handoff system or had successfully identified who had what tables. GAMES: They have a lot of games. Two pool tables and two shuffle board tables, so it's the perfect spot to kill time and enjoy a game. Pre-game: along with the games they have a lot of TVs with all the sports packages. It is about a 3 minute walk from the Bucks Arena, so it's the perfect spot to start your night before watching the Greek freak. Pro tip: - Park in the designated parking area by the hospital. Parking is cheap and it is easy to get in and out of. - street parking is a bit sketchy, so if you care about your vehicle, the. Go either the covered parking by the arena.

    I've been to several shows at Turner Hall and have never been disappointed! Crowd has always been friendly and there's usually enough personal space for a little dancing. Bathrooms are always clean and I haven't run into a line, and the bar has a decent selection at pretty good prices for a concert venue. The ballroom is standing room only and features a balcony area on the second floor with great views, though I prefer to be on the main floor. At the shows I've been to the venue always ends up pretty full, so depending on the artist get there close to when doors open if you want to be close to the stage!

    I recently visited Turner Hall for the first time for a Monday night show. I'm a little surprised I haven't been here before, but it was an enjoyable venue. The acoustics were nice, the set-up is solid, and it was a good experience over all. I will say the drinks are fairly reasonable considering the usual cost of a beer at a concert venue. A tall boy of a good, local craft beer such as Lakefront or Third Space was only $7, which I'll take, especially for something other than PBR. They take credit cards and the service was pleasant. The bartender noticed he over-charged me and even took it upon himself to let me know and offer a refund, which I appreciated. There was plenty of standing room and we arrived 15 minutes before the show and were still able to be right up front. The building is pretty cool - definitely full of history. I'd like to grab a drink in the tavern downstairs, which my significant other said was in disrepair and not open the last time he went to a show there. I imagine being close to the new Bucks stadium has been some incentive for this. The hall itself could maybe use a bit of tidying or care, as the ceilings and walls looked a little dicey with the netting up - to catch falling pieces of the ceiling? But all-in-all, I would gladly see another show at Turner Hall. We had an enjoyable evening.

    As other reviews have noted, there are nets im place across the ceiling to catch any plaster pieces that may drop at any moment. Turner Hall is a dated venue but sometimes a classically dated facility is the perfect place to catch the right type of show. I've only been here one time for the Mondo Lucha wrestling. For this type of event Turner Hall is the perfect venue. Not a bad view in the house. For that matter there's really not a bad view in the place. I can see it could get overcrowded quickly and definitely not enough bathroom space to accommodate large crowds. There was a band associated with the wrestling and as other reviewers have noted the building acoustics are not the best. A glass of soda & bottle of water were $7. I thought that was a little steep for the venue. Guess I should be glad I had enough to drink before the event started because I likely would really not have liked the prices for a beer or mixed drink. Had a blast at Mondo Lucha and Turner Hall was the perfect spot.

Lots of live music, and the joint really does get jumping! It has everything a music venue needs. The area around the stage area is expansive.

Friendly bartenders, great drink specials, nice pours, CLEAN BATHROOMS. They also have delicious Heineken 0.0 if you do not wish to imbibe (as I did not on the night I was there), but still want to look and feel like you're drinking a beer. Try that too! At Georges!

The special was a grilled cheese and meatloaf sandwich (with a side of their special pineapple coleslaw) The sand- wich was large was toasted to perfection. It even had pickles on it. It was different and seriously delicious!! My daughter-in-law had the mac 'n cheese with chicken strips. It looked amazing. The portion was so big, she had to take half of it home. The salads are huge and one of those will be my next choice. This bar as been around for years. (the owners retired) There is live music often and there are two area with tables, one in the primary bar room and another where the band would be. There are also booths along the back wall. The bar was clean and the new owner, Caleb, was very friendly. I bet people don't think of George's as a lunch or dinner destination, but I highly recommend it.

Staff was not prepared at all, actually telling people the guy who usually does speech did not come and they do not know what to say actually. For any alcohol you will buy you will pay in addition which is fine BUT the price for that drink(s) will be surprising you a lot. For 5 sake drinks the bill was around $370. Last two glasses were having less sake than first glasses we were provided, probably because people who already drunk something would not notice the difference. It's ok to have expensive alcohol pairing with high end dinner but in this case the sake was very regular. By the way, at bar 10 steps away from the Dark room (same hotel, same floor, same the floor area) the same sake did cost $23 for two glasses. Well... I understand people try to run business and earn money but everything should not cross some decency borders. These guys did cross the line in my opinion. Alcohol prices are not mentioned in Menu by the way. I do not recommend this place not only due to drinks pricing policy but due to "ok" food/service/price ratio

We had a 2:00 reservation and got seated around 2:35. Meanwhile I enjoyed a delicious rasberry/lemon drop martini at the bar. Check photos posted, it pretty much listed what was on the buffet. The only disappointment was the didnt have much of a childrens section and my grandchildren are very picky eaters. I did ask our server if they could order off the regular children's menu but I understood that that was not possible but it was okay. They filled up on bacon, strawberries, croissants and deserts. Our server was very efficient and there was definitely enough staff to handle this crowd. Very positive experience

Unfortunately, this second dinner was even worse than the first. The rice was undercooked, the short ribs were dry, and the scallops were gritty. I realize that, for some people, the Buy One, Get One promotion is a big draw. However, I suspect that the menu prices are inflated to offset the BOGO savings, so it doesn't end up being much of an actual benefit. My wish is that they would focus on improving the quality and consistency of the food and charge prices that appropriately cover their costs while still allowing them to make a profit. I don't think we'll be coming back anytime soon, which is sad because there is so much to like about the location and atmosphere.
