    Wally's Wisconsin Tavern was such a pleasant surprise! We had flown in late on a Friday night and were looking for someplace that would be open and serving food. Yelp helped us find this gem. We walked in and made our way to the bar. They were still serving their late night bite menu, and this menu actually had a lot to offer. We ordered a pitcher of Bell's, cheese curds, fried pickles, and wings. The staff working the bar was amazing- super friendly and they helped us make our choices on food. We found out from them that people LOVE their blue cheese, and after trying it we agree. The cheese curds were perfect, exactly what you'd expect from Wisconsin, and for $10 the portion was really generous. The fried pickles were pickle slices and were also well done, not too soggy and they had a great dill flavor. Also a great portion for $10. The wings were a bit too chewy for our taste (we like them crispy) but the buffalo sauce was great and the blue cheese they make is awesome. I also liked that it came with celery and carrots. Our beer was delicious, I forget which Bell's it was, but it was a fruity (maybe a berry) one. We had a good time chatting about the midwest, sports, and restaurants with the bartender and would have gone back if we had more time during the visit. The funny thing is, when we mentioned this spot to our local family and friends they all knew the place and were glad we got to experience it. To me, that means Yelp lead us to the right spot- local approved!

    Being from Milwaukee I really wanted to love this place. But honestly the vibe was great. Wife had a stew that was really tasty. But my fish fry was not very good. Fry's were average, Tatar was dull, like eating mayo straight. It needed more relish and lemon juice. The fish was either in the fryer too long or under heat lamp too long. Not a very good experience.

    Sat outside (self serve seating) waited for server and no one came. next thing we know there's a denver fiddler (kind words) and the manger walked up after dealing with said person. DAVID IS THE MAN!! He checked on us after dealing with said situation, gave us free food (receipt machine was down), and was so kind the entire time! THANK YOU DAVID! YOURE AWESOME! will be coming back!!!

    My friend picked Wally's on a lark as we were visiting the area for a conference. Knew nothing about it except that she's from the mid-West and has a Wisconsin connection--ha! We are now patting ourselves on the back for such a great choice. The place is soooo spacious and the vibes were high. Special shout out to our server Monica and to her hella cool supervisor. Highly recommend!

    Wisconsin Cheese Curds

    Forgot to take a picture before most of them were eaten, but these were some of the best curds I've ever had outside of Wisconsin. 10/10 recommend

    Casual bar with plenty of tvs and American food. Service was quick and staff was super friendly!

    Curds

    Ok...this was a random stop after the ghost tour and one of the best food choices we made. Definitely liked the pin cushion at the front and the passion for Wisconsin sports was evident all over. The Wisco cheesesteak was top notch with melted cheese curds and onions and peppers. Of course, you need to try the cheese curds and these were some of the best in the business. Great late meal here.

    House Baked Pretzel

    Ordered from Wally's for delivery to our hotel after a long day. Family of five ordered a couple grilled cheese sandwiches with chili, an order of chicken tenders with fries, an order of chicken wings and a cheeseburger. Also ordered some cheese curds and a homemade pretzel to share. All of the food was pretty tasty, our favorite was probably the chicken tenders or chicken wings. Unfortunately the side salad that was ordered with my burger did not arrive...funny thing is those of us that had chili and/or burger ended up having some wild dreams that night! Maybe not the best late night options before bedtime.

    Wally's is the perfect sports bar to throw back a few brews and eat bar grub. There are some great cheesy food options and plenty of beers to choose from! If you're feeling frisky, you can even do a shot-ski !! Very home-y feeling and TVs everywhere. Also a great place to grab a drink before a game at Ball Arena.

We're not a rowdy bunch, less than a dozen of us, meet just shy of two hours for a thematic discussion in the early evening, but after happy hour.

The prices were incredibly reasonable for craft, microbrew and a most excellent selection as you could want.

I would go back just for him.

Tucked inside the Free Market alleyway at Dairy Block, this smaller satellite location delivers big on atmosphere. The tap list is thoughtfully curated, and the real standout is the space itself. The seating areas feel intentionally designed, cozy, and creative ~ and they rotate the layout every couple of months, which keeps things feeling fresh. When I stopped by, the main room was set up with comfy couches, lounge chairs, and bean-bag-style seating that practically invites you to settle in. I got so relaxed I ended up hanging out for several hours without even realizing it. It's the kind of place where time disappears in the best way. Shoutout to Joy, the beertender working that day ~ she was fantastic. Super knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely helpful when talking through the beers. Great service without being overbearing, which always elevates the experience. If you're looking for a spot downtown that feels laid-back, stylish, and thoughtfully curated, this taproom absolutely delivers. I don't get downtown as often as I should, but this place is officially on my "come here more often" list. Love this new taproom ~100% my vibe!!!

It turned out to be a great decision. We were lucky enough to visit during their weekend brunch specials, offered on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. I ordered the crispy cheese burrito, which was generously sized and very flavorful. I also enjoyed a flight of craft beers that showcased a wide variety of styles, from Mexican lagers to rich stouts. My son was equally pleased with his fish sandwich and fries. The service was friendly, fast, and efficient, and the food arrived quickly after ordering. The brewery offers several seating options, including patio seating, an upstairs patio, and bar seating. Since it was around 90°F that day, we appreciated being able to relax comfortably inside the air conditioning. Overall, we had a very enjoyable experience. The food, beer selection, and service were all excellent, and I would definitely return if I'm back in the area.
