Grant A. "I dined in a globe so this review reflects that experience. The globe was warm and beautiful as it was snowing that evening. Our server was very friendly and our food was brought out quickly. I ordered the Sconnie burger with sweet potato fries and it was delicious. They also have my favorite beer the Lowlander Oranje. Overall I had a great experience!"

Gonzo G. "If you are ever in the area to stop by the wonderful find. Please do so and enjoy the Bloody Marys. The spicy pickle ones are the way to go. It's always a must stop when I'm in Wisconsin. The bartender who has been here for years will provide great service and the staff will take care of you. If you wanna sit at a table and enjoy a meal , sit outside along the water."

Carolyn F. "First off - great, friendly service and a clean, open space. Ambiance is a bit corporate feeling, but that's a nitpick. Lots of commenters on here have mentioned the cost. We only did food, so I can't speak to the bar, but for the price, the breakfast burrito was huge. Kids chicken tenders were also good deal and tasted great. Burgers were a bit soggy but the taste was great so it was worth using a fork and or lots of napkins. All the food would benefit from a but more green: arugula on the burger or spinach in the breakfast burritos, etc, but then that's going to increase the price more, so I get where they are coming from. Next time I'd love to try one of their dogs."

This place is so great!! One of our favorite places to go in Milwaukee. Menu has a lot of great options like fries, beignets, drinks...so good every time. I also love their patio. So cute how they have so many seats & umbrellas. Love it & can't recommend enough!! A must go for Wisconsin.

Recently had my first experience at Bass Bay Brewhouse and it was exemplary from beginning to end. My dining companion and I started off with cocktails. I got the sazerac, he got their 1920 classic old fashioned. The sazerac was spot on perfect with just the lightest lovely hint of absinthe. I also tried the old fashioned and it was perfect as well.For our appetizer, we got the spinach artichoke dip. It is huge! Definitely better suited to a table of four but we were happy to have some to box up and take home. The dip was super thick and hearty, not to mention tasty. I've had spinach artichoke dip be kinda soupy--not so at Bass Bay Brewhouse. It was packed with spinach and artichoke. We had to force ourselves to save room for our entree!For my entree, I got the seared scallops which comes served over a hearty serving of beet goat cheese risotto, The scallops were cooked perfectly (cooked through but not rubbery with a nice sear). The beet goat cheese risotto was sensational--so flavorful! One word of warning--eat the scallops separately as the risotto is so flavorful it overwhelms the delicate shellfish. It was so good, though. I would absolutely order this again.We were enjoying the experience so well that we decided to linger for an after dinner drink. I got a boulevardier and my dining companion got a bourbon manhattan. Again--literal perfection. Our server was kind and attentive throughout and the bartender was lovely as well. Do yourself a favor and--Get to it!

Food and drinks have been excellent. Great beer selection, great atmosphere, really nice outdoor hangout area. Lots of space, bag toss, sometimes a DJ.
