Landmark 1850 Inn

I'm so happy that the Landmark is open again! This was my go-to place at the airport and when it closed, I was very sad. Now under new ownership, Joel and Linda are doing amazing work to revitalize this historic tavern. It's much brighter and the hospitality, beverages, and food are top notch. We were only here for a bite and a drink, but it's back on the list of go-to places!

This is a really nice historic bar with lots of antiques and a cozy atmosphere. There was plenty of seating and the service was great. That said, the food was pretty average. The menu was very limited. After some confusion as to whether they had it or not, Tony got the shrimp platter. They were out of potato pancakes, so I opted for fries with my cod fry. I will say the cod was breaded really nicely, crispy and well seasoned. The fries were seasoned, too. The Cole slaw was bland. It came with a single piece of real marble rye, soft and good. Tony's shrimp was good and we liked the Thai chili sauce, usually reserved for wings. All in all, the food was just okay.

First cheese curds & Spotted Cow in Wisconsin this trip. Loved the deep fried mushrooms and Belgian Trappist Monk Chimay Beer too. So happy to see them reopen. They've made some excellent improvements but kept this beloved historic establishment authentic and original. Be sure to check out the gorgeous tin ceiling in the bar. We're at the historic, oldest tavern in Milwaukee, the Landmark 1850 Inn is less than 5 minutes from the airport and across the street from our Hilton Garden Inn.

Best bar on the South side of Milwaukee. Don't think twice go check it out. This bar has history and is amazing they also have great food and beer selection.

We have been there numerous times for happy hour and dinners. Top notch food and service. A GREAT fish fry, one of the best in Milwaukee. Highly recommend for an authentic Milwaukee experience. This past weekend Landmark 1850 hosted a private luncheon for us at Friday Noon. It was FABULOUS. We had people from across the country and they raved about the food and the coziness of the bar. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

Amazing atmosphere , great food, lots of history , and mostly best staff. Very convenient location if you stay at the hotel across the street

We arrived at the landmark at 6:35 for the fish fry. Didn't seem real busy but we noticed that no one in the seating area had food. We ordered at 6:50 and at 7:15 we one table get their pizza. We overheard the waitress tell other folks that the kitchen was backed up. At 7:25 I asked for a status report on our order. At 7:33 the waitress told us are selection of fish was not available but we could order something else. I told her we were cashing out and paid for our drinks. Our first time back since the new ownership. It's improved with seating and lighting. We will not be back for food.

We've been there a couple of times now since reopening. Very cool old bar, great service and really good food. They have a really good selection of tap beer, a number of craft beers, and imports, as well as bottled beers. And of course a full bar. We had their pizza last week. Thin crust, really crispy, and really good. On our previous visit we had the fish fry, also excellent. They now service lunch so food is available all day. Highly recommended.

Just returned from the newly opened Landmark 1850 Inn had the cod fish fry. Thinking i was going to get an average fish fry, it was excellent. The fish was perfectly cooked, not greasy and fish was moist and not at all mushy or over cooked and dry like i have had at other places. Probably due to the fact that all pieces were the same size so they all cooked the same. Fish was well seasoned, maybe just a touch to much salt but better that then being bland. I choose the sweet potato fries as a side and they were waffle cut and very tasty. Served with marble rye and a cup of coleslaw, easily the best cod fish fry I have had in a long time.
