Some friends and I were looking for a place to watch the presidential debate and someone suggested the Milwaukee st Tavern. I was skeptical at best about watching a debate in a ""sports bar"" on a friday night but I tagged along anyway. We were greeted at the door with a friendly smile and told to sit wherevere we were comfortable. When I asked about the debates I was told they were hosting a debate party and just about every tv would be tuned in. Channel 9 had a camera there and were doing interviews with guests and staff. ""Great, this is gonna be a zoo"", I thought. Our server was very friendly and seemed to be enjoying the crowded atmosphere. We ordered some drinks off the martini list and a few beers from a very eclectic menu and settled in for the night. Amazingly the second the debate started you could hear a pin drop.The experience was fantastic. The triple decker club sandwich was excellent and the burger was as good as any I can remember. Good food, good drinks, solid service and a bar crowd that cares about politics. I will definitely be back.
Pros: friendly service,good looking staff, and lots of specials
Cons: a smoker friendly patio isn't for everybody
