Nine Below

What a fun experience!! We did our team holiday outing here and all had a blast! I am a hater of mini-golf, but this has blown my mind, and now I'm obsessed (I will only come here from now on for mini-golf). We had a reservation, and it was only our group and the staff, which was nice and private for us to go wild. We split into teams and had 30 minutes to build our course. I will say ours was the best. After that, we all took turns trying out each other's courses. It was so much fun, and I would definitely recommend it for a team/office outing or just a party with some friends/family.

Unique experience- was fun building our own course. The monthly cocktail was very good and we had a lot of laughs!

9 Below, nestled in the basement area under Beans and Barley is a unique Milwaukee experience where putt putt golf and drinking go hand in hand. It was fun and entertaining but I'm not sure I'd be back and actually sit through 2 or so hours of chaos again. I wound up enjoying what I will deem "the best thing they got" which is a couple consoles of Nintendo 64 and a boat load of old games. 4 controllers and booze at your fingertips... We played Mario Kart like there was no tomorrow! The overall chaos of setting up your own holes was fun but I am a person who bores easily and thus fell out of sorts with the whole experience pretty quick. I do think the place is A-OK but its not my cup of tea. Good times though!

Ever wonder where those stairs on the side of Beans and Barley go? Well, they go to a create-your-own mini golf course, where else?! Once I figured that out, I wanted to check it out. We went in January for a birthday Sunday funday with a group of 5. Although mini golf sounds like a kid-friendly activity, Nine Below is definitely an adult atmosphere, you walk right into the bar area at the bottom of the stairs. They stick with the golf theme, the bartenders are dressed in polos and visors and they have golf drink specials along with some good beer options. The space is bigger than it looks from the outside, they could have 20+ groups going at once. There weren't a ton of other groups when we went but they had left some holes set up from previous rounds so we still had a lot of holes to golf. We did a round of Maker's Golf. At the beginning of your two hours, the employees explain the rules and then let you have about 45 minutes to create your hole including gathering props from the prop room, giving it a name, and determining par. Each group tries to outdo the next with clever prop and name combos, as well as the trickiness of the set up. When the holes are created, you grab your balls and start golfing! Just like mini golf each hole is fun to figure out, watch your friends shoot way over par, or try for the hole in one. One of my favorite parts was the "golf cart" we got to wheel around with our drinks. After about an hour of mini golf, I felt more than satisfied with mini golfing and ready to reemerge into the daylight.Like mini golf, this isn't something I would want to do every month but I would do it again if a group was going, I like the idea of bringing a work outing. Because it's downstairs, this is best as a cold weather or rainy day activity. If you're curious or just really into golf, stop in for a drink at their bar sometime and check it out. Otherwise if you're bringing a group, it's easy to reserve online. *mini golf clap to round this hole thing out*Have fun!

What a fun, cool experience!! My boyfriend surprised me by taking me here during our weekend getaway to Milwaukee. I had no clue what was going on, but soon learned we would be making our own mini golf courses. The place was packed and we had such a good time interacting with the people around us. It was a silly, entertaining, and great time! The drinks are pretty cheap, and they even give you a little cart to wheel your stuff around in while you're moving from course to course. It's definitely a place that's out of the box, and great for doing something other than going to a bar and drinking. There were a few groups celebrating birthdays and bachelorette parties. The only thing that would make this place better is if they had real food. By the end of the night I was starving, and all they had were small snacks like chips and and soft pretzels. Other than that, I would 10/10 recommended.

This place is such a fun mix on the usual Friday or Saturday night activity for a date or a small group. I went here on a date and it was an absolute blast. He signed us up for a time on a Friday night and it was completely packed. We got there early to grab a drink and scope out the props for our hole. They have a full bar and so many fun and random props to create your hole. It's a lot of fun to see the creative side of everyone. You have around an hour to design your hole and another hour then to play all of the other holes. My one tidbit on this was I think we could have used a little less time to design and more to play the holes, because we weren't able to finish all of them. Overall, I would definitely come back here. I think I would recommend not to have too large of a group, because that's what makes it take longer for each hole.

such a fun activity to do while enjoying some adult beverages!! you make your own mini golf course with all sorts of props, and then spend your 2hr session circling around playing everyone else's. they also have a nintendo 64 with mario kart on it which is my childhood in a nutshell & so fun to play while waiting to get started. drinks are fairly priced -- they have a very good French mule with champagne in it for $6, and you can get a light beer for $3 which I think is reasonable. don't come hungry through because while I believe they have a snack or two on the menu, they really aren't serving food. you need a reservation so make sure to book ahead of time.

Nine below is a great place for any group of people to spend some time together at a bar with an activity to do. The whole place is decorated like a mini put place, which is pretty cool. The concept of this place is to build your own mini put hole (obstacles, paths, etc) and then play a round of mini golf with other holes made by other people. It's usually pretty fun and entertaining, especially given the amount of obstacles and building materials provided. The bar has good prices for drinks too! The only downfall (not caused by Nine Below) is that sometimes groups can make ridiculous obstacles for their hole, which makes it almost impossible to play. If there are too many like this in a round, it can definitely end up being less fun to play.

Place is sick, good drinks and a lot of fun. Shout out Juan for the dad jokes and the bartenders for the great drinks/experience. Definitely going back

Jamie, James and katelyn were great bar tenders!! The place itself has great ambiance and so much fun! Definitely recommend coming here with a group of friends!
