Wonder Bar

I wonder bar no longer exists, unfortunately. It was the divest of dive bars. I loved it. I believe it was around for at least 30 years. It's now been sold and rebranded and is a totally different experience.

Good comfort food. Friendly staff. Meatloaf Mac and cheese is delicious. Fast service.

This is a corner bar. They have good beer on tap, there is a pool table and dart board, and it's tiny. They have a parking lot, and it's close to home. I have never seen anyone eat anything other than the peanuts at the bar.

I've been back to WB multiple times since my first review as it my best friend's "favorite new [to her]" bar. Every time I visit, I liked this place less. The one female bartender seriously overcharges for drinks on the "buy one get one free" drink night, which is pretty much any night they feel like offering this special.I visited this establishment last night in attempt to hang out with friends and forget about all the horrible problems I have been dealing with. The bartender was making friendly chatter while trying to get me to order another drink, asking my plans for the following day. I informed him I did not wish to drink much as I needed to get up early and hit the gym, tan, and then I had 3 hours of dance&cheer practice. He took this and ran with it...."So you need to go run on the treadmill like a gerbil because 'that's what people expect you to do'," he says. To which I react, I enjoy working out and challenge myself on a daily basis. Then he starts on the "fake baking": "You might not look orange in this light, but you are orange." {Note: I tan MAYBE once every 7 days, more like once every 10 days and I am far from orange.} I asked him to please stop harassing me and his words would make me cry, but he continued to mock the activities I enjoys/are unnecessary, and then informed me that I wear too much makeup {note: i only wear eye makeup and some lipgloss}.I finally couldn't take it anymore. I yelled at him; I told him he was being mean and I didn't appreciate his words and that I don't go to the bar to be mocked. I quickly snatched up my belongings, along with the $3 tip I had previously left, and stormed out vowing to never return.I am appalled that such an establishment would allow their employees to mock patrons in such a manor, especially after informing him that his words were unkind and I was having a difficult time the past couple days. I won't be returning. Ever.

Cozy and friendly and great beers on tap!

A small dive bar in Milwaukee with the usual old school feel. The place is small and has a limited menu offering made up of locals hanging and chilling at this neighborhood bar. Milwaukee has many fine small tavern with unique interiors often disdained by corporate class. If your tired of the sameness of strip mall big eateries then this plca is for you.

Super awesome small shitty dive bar. It's one of those places where you're basically certain you don't want to see it in the full light of day. Bathrooms work and you're not afraid to sit on the toilet, so that's a definite vote for cream of dive bar crop. The bartender and patrons are super friendly. When the three of us came in a regular asked if we wanted a fourth for our pool game. We, being shy folk, decided not to take her up on it but it started a conversation that drew in other bar patrons and was really fun!Bartender attentive without being creepy and yes, there are peanuts in the shell. You can toss the shells "wherever", which always tempts me to see what would happen if I flung them onto the liquor bottles.

I understand the definition of a dive bar... but this was a little too dive-Y for me.The bathroom was nasty. Like NAAASSTTY, and well, it just was unpleasant all around.Sorry Wonder Bar - ya just ain't for me.

The patrons scared me more than the place itself. They just wouldn't leave us alone. My brother and I wanted to drink and talk to each other, not the several drunks who just HAD to talk to us. It was very uncomfortable. The bartender was trying to be funny and joking with us like he didn't know what one of the tappers was, but he just came off as being arrogant (he did have this kind of cool spin-thing he did with the glasses...a little show if you will). The place is a dive and the beer list is uninspired. Won't be returning. It would have been one star but because it's the closest bar to me and it could have been just that night and that particular bartender I added another one because I do want to go check it out again. My expectations are very low.

We are sorry that we missed the Grand Closing of the Wonder Bar last night. While living in town, it had been a weekly refuge after softball or just getting together with the other "Tosa Tots" and others considered family. George and many others preceding him always treated us like family. Some of our best friendships, and some marriages, were developed while hanging out at amongst the peanut shells and shot glass throwing. Cheers to the locals who will undoubtedly soon have another place "where everybody knows your name". Thanks to George, Murf, Marty, Doug, and Jerry - it's been a great run. We look forward to paying homage when in town for State Fair. I "wonder" if the new bar will have Sammy Addams?Thanks for the memories - Boiler!
