Caroline's: what do users think?

Stephanie: This place was amazing, such a cozy vibe, great musical talent, and meeting Caroline herself!

Lona Hoade: there was still room in their free parking lot. We were warmly greeted at the door & they were already expecting us. There is a cover charge, but again, free parking & music, so not unexpected. Caroline personally came up & greeted us. We were tended to the entire time by her great bar staff. Drinks were very good & reasonable. The Donna Woodall group was playing & they were some of the best jazz we’ve heard in a long time! A must see & hear! We are not anybody special but were treated that way. Caroline’s deserves more than 5 stars. We will be back!

Brian Kerhin: Fantastic jazz vibe. Loud, bring some ear plugs.

Blu: what do users think?

Faithful Foodie: Amazing atmosphere. Amazing live jazz music. Amazing service. Amazing refreshments. Amazing time!Perfect adult environment to enjoy a great time out. Pfister is a wonderful hotel, but I would go again just to hang out at Blu!

Ivan Corona: The architecture on the first floor of this building is absolutely breathtaking, creating a very elegant and refined atmosphere. Once you ascend to the bar, you are greeted by a beautiful view of the city. The addition of live jazz playing throughout the night was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here.I came here solely for drinks, so my rating is based solely on this aspect.

Mo's Irish Pub Wauwatosa: what do users think?

Debbie Knee: We got there between breakfast and lunchtime. I had no idea that Mo's served breakfast all day and I love breakfasts, so while there weren't a lot of breakfast options, what they did have was delicious and was made exactly how I asked for it. The other person in my party had the french dip and that was great too, along with fries. We'll definitely return!Update - went back today and the food was not as good but the service was great.

Pam Poglitsch: Hector service was exceptional! Attendant to details and was very personable! Good Food for a Friday night fish fry night. I had the glazed fire grilled salmon on some unusual rice.Dietary restrictions: I am a true celiac and never had a problem with the foodParking: The new parking lot really makes parking easy!

Scott Hendrix: Great place for a pint, fish and chips, or to.listen to live music. Good service, a Guinness poured right, and tasty food. What more could you want?Parking: Loads of free parkingWheelchair accessibility: Door is a wee bit tricky in a wheelchair but easy rolling once inside

Quarters: what do users think?

Jesus Perez: Best underground live music. Hidden beautiful place

Amy: Been going there for decades watching all my friends bands play and other live local acts. I like the deck out back where you can smoke and talk to people because 99% of the time everyone gets along and enjoy themselves. Good place for the bands to talk to the people after playing for P.R. I remember Pete Bali....dont know if he is still there and if still running the restaurant, if so reach out im top "boss" of entertainment in Milwaukee and crazy enough and being watched by hundreds of millions of people worldwide. If you want to raise customers and revenue immediately in a huge way let me know

Industrial Strength DJ - Weddings, Events & Parties: Great Mllw dive bar for live bands & DJs.Friendly vibes & cool atmosphere.Parking space Plenty of parking Parking options Free street parking …

Anthony Nilles: Old school dive with a stage in the corner. Cash only. For what it is, it's great. It's like watching a band play in your friends basement -- and I mean that in the best way.

Cindy Steinle: A true gem in the underground music scene and Pete is one of the greatest bartenders in MKE.All bands should play here once. It ain't fancy but the sound is fantastic.

Max Gehrman: Great bar, new established lotsa potential

Emmie Chittick (FELIXX): Love the vibe

Mo's Irish Pub Downtown Milwaukee: what do users think?

The Borg Cooking Show: Chloe is this best bartender in town. If you want the top drawer, front runner, belle of the ball brandy old fashion, you gotta ask Chloe to whip you up one

Rodney Olsen: Really nice staff and a good happy hour.

Alex PR: Good ✌️

Ashley W: Came in from Chicago for a quick bite with my mother and 3 of my girlfriends the day before St Patricks Day. We had tickets to a show at the theater down the street and one hour to enjoy a hot meal in the late afternoon. Considering it was a holiday weekend, we expected it to be busy just about anywhere. We had to wait about 15 minutes for a table which wasn't a problem. When we were seated, we were seated at a small table near the pool table and other arcade game. The manager pushed our table as far back as he could so we wouldn't be in the way of the group of gentleman playing pool. We were sitting there for five minutes before an extremely intoxicated guy started screaming at us demanding us to move because he wanted to play skiball. We explained to him we were seated here by the manager who already moved the table as far back as he could. He continued to scream at us until I got up and decided to find the manager that seated us explaining what was currently happening. He seemed genuinely upset and opened up a separate isolated area for us to sit alone at our table apologizing profusely for how we were treated our first time visiting their establishment. He offered to comp half our meal for the trouble and assigned one of the kindest servers to take care of us. I wish I remembered her name because she deserves the recognition. My only regret is that we didn't have enough time to spend here because the food was absolutely delicious. You can tell they truly care about their customers and did not want to leave a bad impression on some visitors. I'm not angry at the establishment for how we were treated by one patron because these things can and will happen in a bar. I am applauding them for how quickly the management was to respond and rectify this issue to make sure the rest of our visit was an enjoyable experience 👍

Jauntéa Maxey: ! The potatoes and carrots were great. All items were clearly made separately, well thank goodness, because those caraway seeds ruined the cabbage. We will be looking elsewhere for the Corned Beef Irish Dinner.The cheese curds on the other hand are the best I’ve had but I’m no true Wisconsinite. Pretzel was excellent the first night and was hard in some places the second night we went, so hit or miss. I know it’s an Irish spot but wish they had the German mustard for the pretzel. The 4 cheese sauce and honey mustard were pleasant surprises.The cookie was good, could have baked a bit more but it is about personal preference.

City Lounge: what do users think?

Randy B.: We have been here a number of times now. The food is great. The cheese curds are the best I have had in a long time. Drink prices are fair, at things the service is slow. The patio music selection o er the summer is very good, the place features various genres of music.Stop in for a cocktail and some food you won't be disappointed.

Ashley “SyrenSong” August: SO COOL!!! Loved the eclectic vibes here. You can tell this bar has been lovingly curated by its owners throughout its history, everywhere I looked there seemed to be something new that made me wonder WHY it was there! I initially pulled over because there were monstera in the windows! Excited to come back to see the jungle this summer. There are also lots of games, pinball, speedball, two billards tables, and more! Food menu looked decent and lots of beer to choose from. Fast and friendly service and plenty of space!Thank you RILEY for your awesome service as well, me and my puppy will definitely be back ✨️

Pablo Baez: Great place to hang out, with nice staff, darts, poker nights, shuffle board, and lots of screens for sports and more. Love it.Recommended dishes Side Salad …

Bar 360: what do users think?

Alexander Avila: Stopped at potawatomi for the first time and not being much of a gambler I stopped at bar 360 to have a drink and just get a view of the whole scenery and I'm glad I did the vibe is very cool with plenty of blue lighting that gives the whole place a nightclub vibe and they were playing good music plus the prices we're not very high like I expected and they even head drink specials which we both enjoyed and overall after doing little gambling it was definitely the best part of our visit plus the bartender was awesome and provided great service so if you're looking to take a break before gambling all your money away definitely do it at bar 360 it's right in the middle of the place you can't miss it lol.

Positivity Prevails: Love the colors and the lighting and I will just say I like the whole look and the mood at the bar 360.

Kristi Piwoni: Here on a Saturday night. Enjoying this electric 2 man acoustic guitar band Joe & Christopher! I'm their newest groupie!

Perez “Bris” BRISIBE: Nice music but expensive

jackie meeks: The d.j was amazing, he had people out on the floor dancing , the drinks were good and strong , the atmosphere was awesome

The Sofie: what do users think?

Dillan Koch: This is a great place to go for a first date between 6-10pm. It's not busy, the music wasn't too loud, and it has a very nice upscale comforting atmosphere. The staff was great, drinks were amazing with an average cocktail price of $12, and plenty of deals on beers, wines, margaritas, etc. They'll turn the music up at 9pm when it starts to get busier, and 10pm is when the main music event starts and it turns into a typical loud fun dance club. Both my date and I were very impressed. I highly recommend The Sofie!

teresa roque: Went here for New Year’s had so much fun had very good drinks atmosphere was great. Only thing is I got my coat stolen and I’m very very disappointed. 😭 called the next day, but I had no luck. Was hoping maybe it got left behind or if they had cameras, they could help me distinguish maybe who it wasAtmosphere: 5/5 …

Ivan Benitez: Great vibes after 10 pm

GAMERxPROx BRO: If you love house music, the sofie is for you

Daniel Towers: The house music on Wednesdays! Awesome vibe and lounge areas.

On this evening we grabbed a drink after a comedy show.This is a classic MKE bar with great service, creative and well-crafted drinks, fun decor and even better patrons. It's worth a stop...even if you just want to look at well-groomed men working behind the bar... You'll have a great time. You will find a conversation. The atmosphere is inviting and I intentionally ordered a fussy drink to confirm they care about their output... they do. They consistently do. And I love that about this place.Fall 2023: consistently great. Chris is dope.
