Hop Leaf Beer Hong KongJune 17, 2013
Nice selection of beer on draft. The night we went they had New Belgium Rolle Bolle, Abita Purple Haze, Three Floyds Arctic Panzer Wolf, and a selection of imported Belgium and other European brews.

Love the atmosphere! Feels like your back in the old country. The beer selection is great for the German beer fan in your group!

Ben. Damn. He’s got so many different people all taken care of and no one has any idea that he’s not hovering over them. #perfection. Thank you Steve.

Probably the best beer bar in Milwaukee. Sit in the back room for more privacy.

Great beer free popcorn. Awesome environment
Matthew TaubOctober 14, 2017
Awesome place! They are turning it into a cocktail bar; terrible idea.
Tyler LindstadJuly 21, 2012
Close your eyes, open the drink menu, point to something. That is your beer, repeat process if you're a real american hero.

Free popcorn, friendly bar staff, a respectable beer list, and authentic German decor. What's not to like?

The beer list is amazing! Very calm on the inside and a nice patio around back.
Nick LyonsOctober 16, 2011
A borderline on this list, but they've been doing a lot of work with less taps lately. Sophisticated offerings for a place that wasn't always known for this much good beer.

If you are new here try something new... please don't get a miller lite. That is for bro's and people who don't know what good beer is.
Marc GundersonAugust 15, 2017
Good international beer selection.
Matt KosterSeptember 3, 2011
Have Darren make you a Von Griddle. It's a McParty in your mouth.
Jessica JacobsApril 4, 2012
If you're really nice to the bartender, they might give you some pretzels and cheese!

Try a beer you've never tried before - like the Kostritzer Schwarzbier. So good!

All the cocktail servers (except Harmony) are too 'busy' to serve you. Just order from the bar.

Friendly staff and great atmosphere. A must if you are on the east side!
