Good food fast service. Ask for Maggie. She rocks. The buffalo wrap and the Mac & cheese is so good. Don't forget to try the popcorn.

Atmosphere: We walked in here (group of 3) on a Sunday evening around 4:00 and we were seated immediately. Very few tables and it was a nice quiet vibe. They had the packer game on the tvs and there was several people at the bar just watching the game. The table was clean but the bathrooms were a bit sketchy on the clean level. Service: We had a really friendly hostess and waitress. It was our waitress' second day on the job but she was really helpful and did her best. Food: The bacon popcorn was way better than anticipated, not too salty, right amount of bacon flavor, not too greasy, I wish I had a bowl of that to watch with tv at night. The cheese curds had a very thin batter and the cheese was the star of the show. The marinara sauce that came with them was served warm (THANK YOU) and it was nice and light and paired with the curds perfectly. Everyone at the table enjoyed their food and the proportions were great. I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich. The bacon potato salad that was served along with it was phenomenal (I think it might be better than mine and that makes me sad). The chicken was juicy, the batter was super crispy, the bun was toasted perfectly, and the pickles had a nice vinegar level to balance the spice of the chicken. Whoever the chef is here knows what they are doing! I wish I lived closer so I could try more items on the menu, this will definitely be a spot I hit up when I'm in Milwaukee!

Oak Barrel Public House in Milwaukee is a charming spot that effortlessly blends a warm pub atmosphere with a diverse menu. As soon as you walk in, the rustic decor and friendly vibe make you feel right at home.The menu features an impressive selection of classic pub fare, along with some unique twists. I tried the smoked brisket sandwich, which was tender and packed with flavor, complemented by a tangy BBQ sauce. The house-made fries were crispy and seasoned just right--perfect for sharing or enjoying on your own.One standout aspect of Oak Barrel is their extensive drink menu, featuring a variety of craft beers, wines, and cocktails. The staff is knowledgeable and happy to recommend pairings, which adds a nice touch to the dining experience.Service was attentive without being intrusive, making for a relaxed evening. The outdoor patio is also a great feature, perfect for enjoying a meal on warmer days.Overall, Oak Barrel Public House is a fantastic destination for anyone looking for great food and a welcoming atmosphere in Milwaukee. Whether you're catching a game or enjoying a casual dinner with friends, it's a place worth visiting. Highly recommend!

My group of friends and I came in on a Thursday night and were immediately seated. We opted to share the cheese curds, pretzel bites, and a margarita pizza - all of which were delicious. Service was fine - straightforward and quick. And the ambiance was fine as well - not too loud or too crowded. If you are looking for a quick, reliable bite to eat, this is definitely a good option!

Had a couple snacks before the Bucks game, place is very cool and has a ton of food options. We weren't super hungry, but the popcorn was very tasty and the curds were good.

Group of five with reservations for 4:15 p.m. on a Saturday. The servers were great, and were kind enough to let us know when one was leaving and another lady was taking over. Cons: We were seated at a high-top table near the back, which was butted up against a post, and there just wasn't enough room for apps, food and drinks. It was also really loud, so much much so that it was hard to hear the people in our group talking. The menu we were given said to scan an image for the full menu which we did, but when we tried to order off that menu (which is their regular lunch/dinner menu on their website), we were told we could only order off the limited paper menu.Out of the two apps we ordered, the cheese curds were the star, they had amazing flavor; the Grandma's Dip was nothing special. For entrees, we got chicken tenders, the Nashville chicken bowl, the CTM chop salad and the caprizza pizza. I can't speak to the rest of the meals but my CTM chop salad was good. I felt sad looking at the pizza, as it barely had any cheese on it and my friend was scraping an overabundance of sauce off of it.

It took us several minutes to get seated as there was no one at the host stand. Other employees just stared at us. The person who sat us at a table walked in from smoking a cigarette. Was placed at a bad table next to a huge wooden beam. The bar was emptyWe ordered two beers. The waiter never brought them over. I could see that the bartender had poured them. They were just sitting over at the bar. I had to go talk to the bartender to get them. He was pleasant. Im not sure why he let the beers sit there for several minutes. The waiter was rarely at our table. Many of the employees including our server. kept walking upstairs. IDK what was going on up there. But thats where everyone who was employed was spending their time. Food was cold. Mac and cheese was decent. Burger was below average. The waiter said he would bring out more fries because the ones I was served were small, old, and crispy. Truthfully I wouldn't have noticed, but it was noticeable after he pointed it out. He never brought more fries after he walked upstairs to do something other than attend to customers. The tip options on the handheld device were all high. I had a poor experience from start to finish.
