The Best Sports
Bars in Milwaukee

Thrillist logo

Milwaukee sports fans are loyal and enthusiastic (just head to the Deer District for all the proof you'll need), even when we've been tapped to pay for new arenas and stadiums. When we can't hop on a shuttle to Miller Park or score an affordable ticket to a Bucks game, we head to sports bars to commune with our people while chowing down on wings and guzzling beer. There are a surprising number of great sports bars in the suburbs around the city, too, so don't count out a little drive. If you're looking for a little camaraderie, these bars are your best bet.
