Ray & Dot's Tap

Give me a good dive bar any day of the week - I am certain Ray and Dot's would take pride in being a dive bar because they are one of the best in the city. This place has been around for decades. Don't tell anyone but when I worked at McD's on 76th street we would go here after close - mostly underage but it was a blast!Fast forward to being a legal drinker for many years - don't ask me how many :) Drinks are reasonably priced and everybody sits at the bar so this is my kind of place. So after a couple of cocktails you may want some food to coat your stomach and yes they have bar food. It's cheap, greasy and will hit the spot after a couple libations. Nothing special but it's solid bar food. The staff is friendly and tries to get to know you and will call you by your first name and remember your drink. The interior is just like a good dive bar but it is exceptionally clean.

Stopped in here on a whim while waiting for a late flight to land at the airport and had a great time! We def were NOT regulars but did not feel out of place when we came in. The bartenders were very friendly!

Great staff. Reasonably priced. Clean. All walks of life patronize this VFW Post bar. This bar has been a neighborhood meeting places for decades and continues to be.

I stopped here after work for a couple drinks and to do some research of the area that I was going out of town to visit the next day. The place is part of a VFW post and it's a good size, not too big with a horse shoe bar, pool table, darts, atm etc etc. They have some extra seating with tables on the floor if the bar is full. The two female bartenders were nice and had no idea what a gin Rickey was but made them correctly with my help. They have a few taps but it looked mostly domestic. It seems to be a neighborhood hang out with mostly regulars except for me. Lots of fried looking food going out and the smell of food filled the bar which made me crave some bar food but I just had lunch so that's a no go.

Ray and dots is one of my favorite spots in the greater Milwaukee area. They're a small bar attached to the Legion in Greendale. The staff are pretty much always the same three bartenders who are super efficient and friendly. We were going here so often at one point they bought a product specially for us which is a personal touch you don't find in many places. The food is pretty typical bar food and they get it out quickly. You can't beat the prices either so it's a great spot to check out for an unpretentious hangout. They do close early on Sundays, no exceptions even for packer games ()

I like this darn place. I don't really know why, but I do. Wait, maybe I like it for the beer selections?? Hofbrau, Guiness and Kostriker!!?? Yes, please!! Appetizers are tasty in a pinch. The patrons are good people and are not pretentious. You can have fun here and hold some small talk style conversations. Check it out. Don't be shy! You never know, you may meet your new best friend here or your next mortal nemesis.

The middle aged blonde bartender was incredibly rude! My bf and I went to meet his siblings as they were out and we decided to stop for a drink. We ordered two drinks and fries from her and she spilt my bfs drink all over because she slammed it down, said nothing and never returned his card! When he asked for it she rolled her eyes and pouted because at this point we asked for our fries to go and called his older brother a bully in the meantime. Overall a sour taste from a bar we spent 30 mins in. She may need more training-or possibly to just retire. If you can't AT LEAST not intentionally spill and be polite to customers, why work in food service?

What can I say about Ray & Dot's? It's a Milwaukee staple. It is where you should be. So go there. Your Grandpa would be proud.

Love this bar! Best Wisconsin old fashions and snacks for cheap!!! Bar tenders are awesome!

Horrible service and they don't put any alcohol in the drinks. Huge stigma here.
