Cherri Pierangeli KasdorfJune 16, 2022Good food, good service, indoor/outdoor seating. I recommend them!
Brian MooreAugust 20, 2011Maybe we got lucky with our server, Jill, but our service (as well as our food) was top notch. She rocks!
TheillKittyKatNovember 17, 2012If u love whiskey...try as many different whiskey cocktails u can put down...deliciousness...
Carrie AyresJune 13, 2013Beautiful rooftop terrace. Great atmosphere. The Smooze is a delicious drink to try!
The beer menu is outstanding*, order any beer and you will be pleased! *It may take up to 15 minutes to choose one, so plan accordingly
Dios mio. One must - MUST - try the tater tots. They aren't tater tots so much as they are a State Fair in your mouth.
Leroy RamosSeptember 22, 2012Turkey wrap is better than deece and the stinking rose bloody is amazing!
With a War and Peace-esque beer menu you are bound to find something you like. And there's a sweet rooftop patio too.
The chicken and waffles and the Mrs. Hollander are my brunch favs!
Jeff KennyJuly 15, 2012Creme brûlée French toast was amazing. Honestly, not too sweet but the side of bacon helped.
Sit outside and enjoy the atmosphere of the third ward. Scott, btw, is the best server!
Stephanie PolusAugust 14, 2015Egg white omelet was too greasy for me, but the Rad Barbie Bloody Mary was awesome!
Skip BeatJune 18, 2012Just a tip...if ur outta strongbow which you shouldn't be...Have a back up plan like magners of crispin...other than woodchuck...jus sayin!
Great food. Simply awesome. A little slow, especially for lunchtime but hopefully they'll figure out soon how to deal with the large crowds. Read more
Roxanne HembdNovember 2, 2011The most amazing beer selection I've ever seen! Try a Leffe Blonde, have a POT of mussels and leave happy.
Jonathon FrancisMay 15, 2013Beer list is very extensive but expensive. Also the only vegan option is an appetizer of hummus and veggies. I probably wouldn't go back.
Duane DrzadinskiOctober 27, 2012Deep fried peppadew peppers in the hand-cut calamari appetizer. Amazingly good! @CafeBenelux
Jeff FuhrmanJune 26, 2011Menu is great. They still have some kinks to work out - new restaurant. But well worth it. Kudos to Ramon & Amy!
Wayne PittsJanuary 1, 2015Beer selection and food are outstanding, but the slow service will make me think twice about coming again.
- Leroy RamosSeptember 22, 2012Classic Eggs Benedict are pretty good. But the hashbrowns arent crunchy.
Be really nice to the hostesses and they'll be nice right back 😉
Great ambiance. Great beer selection. "Meh" food. Expensive cocktails. I go there cos I work a block away.
Not sure what to order? Order a flight, or palette, of beers in strong, light or potpourri styles.
Anthony MassinoSeptember 30, 2012Rooftop seating was the best! May need a jacket or sweater, but it's a great time!
JacobAugust 13, 2011The beer selection is extensive and a lot of the bottles are available to go (unopened of course)
Kat Medina NinoFebruary 10, 2014Amazing Atmosphere, Food & Bloody Mary's → A #ThirdWardMKE Must Try!!!
The raw chopped salad w chicken is my favorite salad here!
Doug CouchJune 6, 2021Order the, “I Used To Be Hot”, without making the server think you’re hitting on her. It’s fun.
Taylor LimmerNovember 12, 2012Get the jumbo tator tots for your appetizer, you won't be disappointed!

"This bar is so cool; 30-50 different tap beers, look all around the bar and see tons of tap handles hanging from ceiling and above the bar. Will be able to go back next time in Milwaukee (I hope)."
