The Tracks

True Score: 3.5 StarsPatriots BarMy buddy found this joint trying to find a place to watch a Patriots football game. Come to find out they have a Patriots fan club here. We fit right in. The crowd invited into the group like we've known these people of years. Add in a bit of dumpy run down place with good service and cheap beers and this was a good time. The 4 pitchers of beer that drank might have influenced my review but overall they Tracks was a quaint older place which was a good spot to watch a game. Thanks

The Tracks is one of those places you see, and say "They look like they are having fun playing volleyball!" Well I'm going to say " They are a great place for a Friday Fish Fry!!! Oh man, talk about being on the pleasantly surprised end of not what I expected. I was with my partner, we both ordered "The Fisherman's Delight". This by far is the most delicious fish fry I've had, along with the great service and great price for what all we got. 2 meals, 2 alcoholic beverages comes to a little over $40.00 with gratuity. Well during happy hour-which lasts until 7pm.

Great Milwaukee "neighborhood" place, which I'm so lucky Riverwest abounds in. Sure, I'm also known to frequent newer, sometimes more "hipster-y" bars and restaurants, but part of my heart will always belong to the neighborhood tavern. You can drink beer, you can get a good meal, you can watch a game on TV, you can stumble in to use the ATM during a street festival (or more ordinary nocturnal adventures.) But what really distinguishes a good neighborhood place is the regulars. I like a place where I see the same people a lot, especially if they're of all different ages and social circles. I like a good "everybody" place.If you're craving a good Friday fish fry this is a good place to try. You can get pollock, perch, shrimp, a combination of two, or all three. On my last visit I was hungry but not totally ravenous. I got the shrimp and perch combination and didn't quite manage to finish it. It was one of the better fish fries I've had in recent memory--crispy batter and not too much grease on the seafood, good coleslaw, choice of tots or fries--but it was definitely filling. The menu says it's available on Wednesdays too, which is nice.The rest of the menu is mostly typical "bar food," but it looks pretty solid. I'll have to go back and try a burger. There's one with cheese curds and marinara I'm sure I'll end up trying. It sounds like a total bomb of grease and calories, but there's totally a time and place for that. Also in that vein there's a chili cheese poutine and fries or tots with truffle oil and Parmesan, the latter available with a sandwich for a $3 upcharge. (I should mention I like upcharge items; they appeal to my innate inability to leave well enough alone.)The best part is the food and drinks are also reasonably priced. The all-3 fish fry is about $12. Burgers and sandwiches are mostly $8-$10. Drinks are on par with or slightly cheaper than other places in the neighborhood. There's a good combination of factors to make a person (especially a Riverwesterner) end up here again and again.

Its Sooo like cheers. There's even a cheers sign high up on one of the side walls. It is a lil bit up north sports bar in river west but it gets a pleasant mix of college kids, neighborhood regulars of all ages, and the occasional Hipster. Word is the serve a mean fish fry and burger but I only get hungry there after 11 and that's when the kitchen closes. Other pluses: they hav a parking lot, they play a nice mix of 90s rock and current stuff, everyone is pretty friendly and unpretentious. This is definately becoming my 'end up'

The Tracks. Stuck on the way out of Riverwest and on to the college side of the river. This place has Happy Hour on Saturday and Sunday. Now to me, that's what's up. The food is good and the drinks are spot on. What more can you ask from a neighborhood dive? The Tracks also has a volleyball area and during the warmer months the courts get busy. Great to play or spectate. Tracks is a fun place to kick back and take down a few plus it's well within walking distance of home. Perfection!

Tracks is a fun divey bar on the edge of Riverwest. We hit it up every few months for an after work happy hour spot. The staff is always helpful with drink suggestions, ample parking, and the app selection definitely hits the spot. I guess the only lingering question I have is does someone live in the little house in the parking lot??

Just when I thought I had the kitchen figured out, they keep getting better. Don't get me started on the fish fry.

Great food better service best ambiance. There's a guy named Chris and another guy named Chris and another guy named Chris. All great guys. Also many Mikes, but not all called Mike.

I went there with a very good friend. It was my first time there ever. The bartenders are incredibly efficient. I wish I could say that for their wait staff. I ended up bussing my table. If you go there, sit at the bar. The bartenders are very attentive. I really wish I could say the same for their servers :/

Burger was pretty solid. Kind of salty. More concerned about the hard core porn hung up inside the men's bathroom. Definitely not a family friendly restaurant...
