Brass Monkey

One of the best bars in Milwaukee. Frank & Drea are amazing bartenders. Everyone there is super friendly. Brian (Mr. Karaōke) on Thursday nights is the man! If you aren’t doing anything on Thursday’s go to Brass for a drink and some awesome karaōke!

Second time trying the Brass Monkey. The first time brought me back the second. I was exceedingly pleased. Wings took 17 minutes from order to delivery. Great taste, attentive staff and nice atmosphere. Only one drawback, music too loud… man, I’m getting old.

Food is great, but don’t waste time playing any music on the juke box, the staff will just skip any song they do not like… they have no regard for your patronage…

honestly the best burger i’ve ever had in my entire life and the best onion rings aswell! i’m so mad i’ve lived so close since they opened & haven’t tried til a few months back! the months & years i’ve missed out on it, its a damn shame! and i don’t drink so this isn’t the liquor talking type of review, 100% sober & genuine!

Very nice establishment. Good food cooked to perfection I ordered medium I received medium. Huge menu not just bar food. Would highly recommend

pizza here used to be really good. Great for that matter. recently 2 bad, really bad pizzas in a row, I tried contacting them through their «Contact Us» link to discuss problem. no response. Apparently they don’t give a crap. never going back.

An average Milwaukee bar near the airport. Food is A ok and the fries were pretty good compared to the average bar. Nothing too great here just aside from a far away bar near an airport

Went for lunch and sat outside. Definitely enhanced the lunchtime experience as the inside is very dark and very much a bar. Perfect for when you want to be in a bar… and it seemed like a bar I’d enjoy being in… but wouldn’t have been as nice for lunch. We both ordered the pulled pork sandwich and wow, was it better than I think I was expecting. Had an apple-​ginger BBQ sauce mixed in and what seemed like homemade coleslaw. Also got the homemade chips and they were stellar. Went there expecting average bar food… ended up have a sandwich and chips that were damn close to «foodie» level. I’d definitely go here again and recommend it for locals.

This was our first time at this location. The décor is a bit dated. The staff was generally friendly. One thing that I noticed was their air conditioning was not able to keep up. The half of the bar that housed the pool table was especially warm. It seemed to lack adequate ventilation. We didn’t have any mixed drinks, but they did have a good beer selection. What they lacked on tap, they made up for in bottles. They do have a parking lot, but at busy times it may be difficult to find a spot.

Great place. New menu. Taco Tuesday and walking distance from our new pad. Win freaking win baby!

I have driven by this place plenty o time and I never stopped by. I was driving by in my summer toy with the windows down and ac off on a warm afternoon and thought a cold one would hit the spot now so I did a u turn and stopped .
The lot had a big yellow bus in it and plenty of spots open at 3pm on a Sunday. The place is bigger than it looks from the outside with a rectangular bar and side rooms with tables and chairs. The tapper is old and is getting replaced the bar tender said but it did have five taps in it. Spotted cow, 3 domestics and one exotic com paired to the other four. The metal arm rest around the bar did have monkeys attaching them to the bar. It’s not upscale nor a dive bar but just a nice neighborhood bar and not the neighborhood dump.
The bar tender was on point and keeping everyone flowing. I was asked if I was there for the shuttle and I was not. I forget the the name of the exotic beer compared to the other four and that’s what I had, flavorful and higher alcohol than miller. I was offered a menu and accepted it even though I was not hungry. It was small with apps, burgers etc. See my pictures. For future knowledge I asked if the burgers are char grilled or my least fav flat grilled and I was told char grilled.
The couple next to me were there for the shuttle and paid $ 19 for four double beers, maybe the size of a med soda to ride the shuttle to see Neal young at summer fest.
The mix of people were regulars with young and older people with the shuttle crowd. The kitchen was bringing food out to tables so people were eating the food.
Overall my visit was enjoyable and I can’t complain about anything but I would like to try a burger.

I liked this place. Stopped after an afternoon of golf for a drink and an appetizer. They were out of our first choice so we went with chili cheese fries which were decent but greasy. The bartender was really nice too. Probably will return if I’m in the area.

This place is ok, not stellar. It’s clean and there’s plenty of tables, as well as the bar. The music was a good mix, from country to Wild Thing by Tone-​Loc. I can’t speak for the food because I didn’t have any, but my vodka and tonic was strong and tasted good. The prices are definitely reasonable. Brass Monkey just lacks any kind of ambience. For the most part, the people there were in jeans or leggings and sweatshirts. I guess when I go out, I like to step it up a little more than that. It’s also small so you catch a breeze every time someone goes outside for a smoke (like every 30 seconds). Just not really my style.

Grimy. We went for lunch and a beer. The food took a shockingly long time to come out considering how empty the place was. Well over an hour. Nothing special. Wouldn’t return with that slow of service.

Came in for the wings and tryed the house flavors, they were excellent! Otherwise the place was clean and inviting

Unless you’re a regular, there is nothing welcoming about this bar. Came in at dinner time on a Saturday. Music was too loud (though the music selection was good) and the sound system was poorly equalized with broken speakers. Finished our drink fast and left.

Excellent fish fry! A huge piece of fish plus your standard coleslaw & rye bread for a very reasonable price. There’s also potato pancakes for an extra buck. The service was outstanding for a busy Friday night. The inside is nothing to write home about but does the job. There’s a parking lot too.

Pros:
Good selection of beers. Near greenfield golf course is a bonus. Bring in your scorecard for a free beer.
Cons:
Sometimes too dark, not as clean as one might like.

Descriptive phrase: suburban attempt at downtown-​hip bar.
You’ve all seen Brass Monkey on Greenfield Ave across the street from the Greenfield Golf Course and wondered what goes on there. I’m here to tell you: loud drinking.
We ended the night here on our suburban townie bar crawl the night before Thanksgiving. It was fairly packed full of 20-​somethings back from college (or reliving it). Half the inside has tall tables and chairs with a handful of bar games, the other half revolves around a giant square bar.
We took a seat at the bar. It’s actually pretty well set up, with plenty of room, nice decorative brass monkey touches, and nothing to block your view besides the bartenders. There’s also a couple giant TV’s.
The bar had dice, and the tenders were more than happy to serve us up some odd shot requests. It seemed like a townie bar in that everyone knew each other and was having a good time, but was loud and young enough to have been featured down on Water Street in Milwaukee.
Overall it’s not my normal scene, but Brass Monkey could be a fun time if you’re stuck out in the ‘burbs.

We live two blocks away — how have I not reviewed Brass Monkey by now? We’re not «regulars», since we just don’t go out that much. But New Year’s Eve, random nights of playing pool and darts, and various sporting events have brought us in. We love the monkey fingers (cheese sticks) and their pizza is good too — haven’t tried their burgers or tacos yet but we are planning to during one of their weeknight specials sometime soon!
Drinks are always good and they have a nice selection. Prompt service and reasonable prices. I’ve never had any trouble with unfriendly service, though it caught me off guard when they carded me at the door once or twice.
