Pete’s Pub

Loved it!Big Beef burger - this thing is huge, even for my hungry keto stomach. Even sans buns, I could only eat half. Smoked brisket is pork brisket, looks like ham, but with great taste. Don't expect beef brisket. Side of Cole slaw (instead of fries) with the burger was a bigger portion than the side of Cole slaw that comes with fish friesFish fries - one big piece of haddock (very similar to cod. Personally not my favorite fish), with great breading. And tons of fries. No skimpy portions business here. Mushy peas - looks exactly like guacamole. It's mashed peas with butter and fat, so very savory. Sounds "mushy" but it's quite delightful!cheese curds - perfectly fried, with garlic flavor in the breading. Overall on the saltier side, but great with beer. Get a beer. Service was great, pleasant. Server was Chris (per receipt) and he was working alone, so seemed busy (though we were literally the only ones in there at 11:30 on Friday... with a few more customers coming in later, but the place didn't get bustling by the time we left). But as busy as he seemed, he still got everything right and crossed all the t's. I love it when we are taken care of so well! Thank you!

Don't let this 4.5 star standing fool you like it did me. It's a dive bar.Sat at the bar and waited roughly 10 minutes to even be served because the bar tender was too busy chatting and doing shots with other customers.The only praise I have is this place was really clean.The cheese curds were okay, the tomato jam is not great. I hate curds with marinara or ranch but either of those would have been an upgrade.

Popped in during HD fest weekend, which was also Harley fest on Brady Street. Needless to say, the street was packed, as were all the bars on it! To our surprise though, service was still nice and speedy inside Pete's Pub. The group of us ordered a handful of drinks, from tap beers to seltzers. It's bar service only, but it was still easy enough to order. In true day-drinking fashion, we needed some food to offset. My husband and I split two dishes - the burrata ravioli (omg I could have eaten three orders of this deliciousness), and the hen solo chicken sammie. I've heard (and read on Yelp) many good things about this sandwich and the people weren't kidding, it was tasty! And massive. Like this breaded and fried chicken thigh was the size of my face I swear. The pickle chips and honey on top... chefs kiss.Pub food can be hit or miss, but this one is a solid spot for good grub. Thanks, Pete!

Came for a late lunch-Busy- but not too crowded.Good music- bartender was friendly- and really had good food.Order at the bar.Food came out in a timely manner.The cauliflower rings were delish...Grown up cheese sandwich with the tomato jam was tasty...Loved the simple smash burger- got the double and shared it.Engine no 6 patty melt was as hot as they say and my hubby enjoyed it.

Was so pleasantly surprised by the food here. To start we had the poutine. The pork and cheese curds on it were very good. The star was the smash burgers though. I got the hulk which had pork belly and a fried egg on it. It was sooo yummy. Definitely recommend!! Also like the fries and how you can pick your seasoning!!

Me and the boss decided to try new places in work area, and we have been on a sort of smash burger mission. Pete's came up as a smash burger contender, so we headed over. The server/bartender was friendly, and it seemed like she was known in the neighborhood by the locals. I couldn't pass up the English style fish fry. Boss man ordered the single smash patty. The fish was piping hot and the batter was crispy and light. The fish was haddock as well, and I prefer that over cod. Fries are a hand cut variety. The coleslaw was OK and I think I would get the mushy peas next time. Boss man enjoyed the smash burger and would order it again. They have an array of quality tap beers, and that is a win in my book. A good overall experience , and a neighborhood addition for Brady St. that fits right.

Quite possibly the best fish & chips I've had outside of England! I have been wanting to check out Pete's Pub ever since I learned the owner was British (it was hearsay but that's my kind of positive news!). I had seen reviews about the Friday "English Style" fish and chips and was finally about to experience it for myself. However, I am going to detail my experience in chronological order:I arrived relatively early (5:30/6ish) and, surprisingly, there were many available parking spots. Parking restrictions had already ended, which always puts an extra little spring in my step. There were a few patrons sitting at scatters tables and booths and a few sitting at the bar. We chose to sit at the bar (although that is never my favorite as I am short and always feel like the entire space ratio is off for me to be comfortable eating a proper meal. But I digress... There were several employees at the bar that greeted us and were very friendly. Our primary server was great! He offered excellent suggestions regarding beers on tap, was just the right amount of chatty, played a Britney Spears song for me (I was having a rough day/week/month), and there just so happened to be a rep for the in-house "rail" liquor (which above and beyond the sterotypical rail liquor) so we had some samples of various flavors!I already knew I wanted fish and chips (only served on Friday), and my husband opted for one of the specialty burgers.Fish and chips with mushy peas: Well, it wouldn't have mattered if it was bad because there was a tiny little Union Jack flag that 100% made my entire day ;) However, I was SO HAPPY that it was just as good as I anticipated. Better even. The fish was meaty and light, the breading was fantastic. Fries were seasoned (i.e., totally not British style lol). There was a delicious roll and sides of malt vinegar (yay!), ketchup (yay!), and tartar sauce (not a fan, in general). Mushy peas had perfect texture for me but they were a bit too salty (also, not British - they don't salt anything). They still had some slightly whole peas in the mix; I'm not a fan of the pea puree, and were not fall-off-the-fork mushy. The specialty burger (I cannot recall the exact one my husband ordered, but I tried a few bites) was fantastic - meaty, good flavor, cooked to perfection!I will 100% be returning to try other menu items. Hopefully on days other than Friday because Friday will be devoted to fish & chips!!

I'll be honest, I was surprised when I typed "fish fry" into Yelp and the first place that popped up was Pete's Pub, I had heard of this joint on Brady before but hadn't quite made it for a meal yet. And compared to some other Friday fish fry spots in the area I was skeptical, however everything we had at Pete's was fantastic and worth the hype! I ordered the tossed shrimp in the peri-peri dry rub and they were fantastic! My husband was going to do the fish sandwich but than was convinced to do the hen solo sandwich which did not disappoint! We shared bites of our meals and both concluded that this was BOMB! I know the hubby and I will be back for another casual but delish meal with Pete's pub. We also ran into fellow Yelp friends which is ALWAYS a treat - you know it's good when that happens!

This was the first spot my boyfriend and I ate at in milwaukee. The service was great. Our bartender Jim, was extremely helpful, kind and attentive. We ordered the cheese curds, a double smash burger and Buffalo wings. We enjoyed the food and the ambiance, they also had a pool table and other games for good entertainment. On top of that the food prices were very reasonable. The ambience was very relaxed & overall we would rate the food 8/10.

Boneless chicken wings were great. You get a heaping of food for the price. Good place to grab drinks and eat with friends.
