Don't hate on Veggas Pub. It's a Riverwest gem. One off a kind dive. The kind of place you get lost into, literally. I think time stops in here. Neighborhood bar is a serious understatement. This is a neighborhood spot that rocks. Great pinball machines and a vibe all it's own. Something special all in it's own. Five stars hands down. Nuff said!

A one time visit for me! Don't get me wrong, I love corner dive bars, neighborhood bars, or whatever you want to call them, but this one was filthy. I didn't even finish my beer while I was here. I saw some food out and the only thing I could think about was how gross it must be because it's so dirty. I went to the bathroom and no joke, it seemed like it's been months since it's been cleaned. I literally had to wait until we went to the next place. I can usually turn my head at some things, especially being a dive bar, but come on!! Clean the bathroom. It's too dirty if you open the door and 4 flies come out of the toilet and the floor is caked with a layer of dirt and filth is everywhere..it's gross. I'm happy It will not be on Pub Pass next year!

For what the bar represents- 4/5. This place is a local and historic. Normal/ low profile beers. Awesome pinball in the back!! The ladies restroom could use a renovation- or at least a cleaning to remove the spider webs fr the ceiling.

No matter where your night has taken you (Company, Foundation, Art Bar), it's always worth a stop in at Veggas for a nightcap, even with the best intentions it might turn into 2 or 3. Pronounced as you might expect, what happens at Veg(g)as, stays at Veggas. Want to throw some beer die? You got it. Want to beat your friends in some pinball? They got 5 to choose from. Want to dance to your heart's content to your favorite jams in a wood paneled heaven? Better hope you're the first to the Touch Tunes. It's a funny crowd and it's probably a good idea to leave your high brow friends at home. But like a lot of MKE corner bars, it is what you make it, have fun! Personal favorite: don't miss the light up sign with a bear riding in a canoe in the back room, always worth a snap.

If coming to yelp is where you're finding your neighborhood bar, the spot probably isn't for you. With that being said, it is my absolute favorite dive in the riverwest neighborhood. Killer karaoke, cheap strong drinks and pinball to boot.

Great random corner bar found! A very free atmosphere with good elements inside including pinball. Bartender was friendly. I wouldn't suggest getting the beer on tap, however. Or ensure it's a basic one regularly used. Had a Spotted Cow and smelled/tasted horrendous. I never send beer back but that was nasty and had to reorder, being required to buy another. Wouldn't be surprised if the lines weren't cleaned. However, the bottle/can selection was decent and reasonably priced. Would still go back and recommend if looking for something off the beaten path.

I have been here once and once is enough for me. Not quite sure how their yelp page is full of glowing reviews, but I had a pretty horrible time (sorry, not sugar coating it).My band played here once, and typically bars do discounts for their performers. We were treated to free Hamm's and dollar off taps. This is fine, and I'm not complaining about this (also, I have an embarrassingly large soft spot for Hamm's). My biggest problem with this is that one of my band mates is pregnant, and she asked for a glass of water with a splash of cranberry juice and they charged her $2. Excuse me? If I didn't limit my vulgarity on this site, I'd have A LOT of words for y'all. I still fume about this whenever I think of this place.The service was subpar and they were over serving people. You know how I know they were overserving? Because people were falling into my while I was playing. I play an expensive instrument that I prefer not to have other people touch. I play in bars all the time and this has never been an issue. But to have multiple people fall full force into me during a performance and not apologize because they were too drunk? 100% not acceptable.Maybe this was an off night? Whatever the case was, I will not return under any circumstances.

This is your quintessential neighborhood bar. Everybody knows each other and the sound of bar dice can be heard throughout the bar. The pinball machines in the back are great and the drinks are fairly priced. It does seem to be open only hours though.

We love Veggas!! Luke and Precious are the greatest! Great specials and awesome company! Our favorite neighborhood bar :) the only reason why it's not receiving 5 stars is because we never know when it's open! :(
