Not fun when the place is packed full of younguns with fresh IDs. It's smoky and gross.

But after work and before a Bucks game, it's a decent stop on the way to the game. In fact, the free shuttle will pick you up in front if you're so inclined. But after the greasy bar food, walking is much preferred.

The one thing that makes this a good stop is the chicken tenders. They are the best ever. If you're hungry get these, you can't go wrong.

I forgot you can smoke in the bars in Wisconsin! Boo hiss! Oh well. I just bleached my clothes the next day.
Had a fun time here! It's your average college bar and not much else. They have ample seating if you can get one...and the bartenders are pretty fast with filling your request.
Also- I LOVE the doctor. Love it, love it, love it. Love it so much it it was my bff on my birthday this year. And that is about all I remember. ops.
For you youngsters, the doctor is the affectionate nickname for McGillycuddy's. The alcohol. The glorious peppermint flavored alcohol.
If you are in Milwaukee and are looking for a loud, packed bar...definitely the place to go.

I don't know why I agreed to come here for lunch w/my work friends.  The food is even worse than the odd late night bar crowds from years ago when I'd go here.  The only good thing was we were sitting outside and saw some cute young boys, but I felt like we were sitting at an odd abandoned festival ground type setting.

We got salads instead of the greasy bar food.  They were pretty small, dressings were home made it said but very spicy and not in a good way.  

At least we agreed not to come back here sober....

I agree with the other reviewers below.  This place is not really worth your time.  Just your dive of all dives with cheap beer and loud music.  Also, Milwaukee allows smoking in their bars and this place sure had plenty of them.  I felt like I had smoked two packs by the time I left.

Great mix of sex offenders and Marquette freshman.  Just in case either of those are your thing.

A meatmarket with unattractive people in it.  You'd be better off drinking in someone's basement, at least then you'd only spend $5 the whole night.
