502 continues to be a staple in the Bronzeville neighborhood with quality customer service and inexpensive drinks. My family has hosted many parties at Garfields over the years, and we keep coming back. Go see Tiffany, Jewell, and staff, and order the chicken wings.
We arrived around 11:30pm. I didnt order any food. The drinks were on point (thanks Tiffany-bartender). The music was ok (old school R&B).
This is a great local place anything special is the beach great vibe great service best wings on the planet
502 is a nice place to hang out at before 10 p.m. The crowd changes to a less mature crowd along with the music. It takes too long to be served at the bar and kitchen. They could also use some waitstaff. Overall, okay, but go with patience.
I thought this was an upscale venue. I do not like drinking from a plastic cup after paying $26 for 1 drink. The young lady who served me was very nice. The gentleman was upset because I asked for a glass to serve the bride a drink. Where is the elegance in this establishment. I had no food nor comment.
The food here was trash but I love the vibe.The catfish was too salty
Always a favorite. Older crowd, intelligent conversations. Good food and service. A gathering place in low key hours and a semi-upscale nightclub on bar nights. When the mood hits, its my first pick.
Young lady changed the price@ check out. She knew my order was up and she pretended to act like it wasnt there. Food was barely hot!
Best wings youll find in the city.
Love 502 had a ball every time I go.
Perfection,This place is very much a favorite. Great vibe, wonderful crowd, solid menu, and theres always good music playing.Love the summers outdoor shows and the indoor shows are beyond incredible. Best sound and stage ive seen in years.Highly recommend!2022/11/11(ish) - Days later, still thinking and wondering about how this place delivers the best in house experience. Cant explain it, not sure i want to, but damn skippy i had to say it.2023/03/03~ Maybe this day i mightve has the greatest nights ever because i visited Garfields. Cousins, sweetiee, something, somethings, but sure but damn, people here never fail!Being as i cant work my words, and as i been forgetful, Just go, it will be all that and more.
Crazy awesome establishment was there for a private party but the bar itself was cracking plenty of beautiful women and the men are well-behaved. I didnt see not one outburst the doormen were very gentleman like didnt treat me as an outsider even though it was my first time there I felt very comfortable the bartenders were very nice even bought me a drink or two, of course you got to know how to tip too! you cant go into an establishment thinking youre going to get free rounds from your bartender and you only gave them $1.50 in 4 out of 5 hours youve been there. But from the looks of the place and the people that were there it didnt seem like there were too many people like that anyway! The prices were considerable and the drinks were not watered down by any means. I dont smoke but I believe they had a nice smoking deck outside. And the sound system was bumping. I believe its black owned and operated, and is more of a mature crowd, a gentlemans bar if you will, I would definitely go back. S.Guerrero (Taco)
Them Wangs was hitting... even my kids gobbled theirs down.... it was hot and fresh for a long time and stayed crispy...keep it up 502s!
Food is always good and hot
Good food, friendly staff, and very nice decor. The only drawback is limited parking. Highly recommend!
Used to be one of the meeting places for drinks and food within the Brewers Hill area. My Three Sons and I met there to begin our weekend together they were visiting from Georgia and Oklahoma.
I always come in to order the catfish & it’s never any thawed out. Becoming highly disappointed because I would like to support this establishment & experience what it has to offer.The space is large, there’s vast seating, and fully stocked bar but if I can’t grab some food while I drink it’s pointless.
I love the atmosphere! Lots of people having a good time!
Good food but always bad service. ALWAYS. Ive tried them 4-5 times over the years (pre and post Covid) and its always the same UNLESS Im with a regular. Apparently, thats the only way ur getting any service at this place without an hour wait or a funky attitude.
I came off a friends recommendation and I must say from the food to the bartender to the customer friendly service and atmosphere all is amazingWould come again next time I’m here.
They need bartenders and waitresses. Other then that its a great bar to visit.
Wish the venue was bigger. you will have a good time and no drama!!
Server was slow and all over the place..
I like the atmosphere they were partying outside and inside.
I go every time I visit Milwaukee. Great people!!
My favorite bar. Always have a great time here
My first time everything and everyone was nice 👍
Bad service, but good place .. Waited over 40 min for drink and place was not even full maybe 15 people,,They must know , in order for you to get good service
Maybe it would be better if Willie Elder wasnt so sarcastic to customers. He gives the place a bad image with his attitude.Barbara
Good food great music 🎶 a must
Like the ole school fellowshipGreat meeting place
The food and atmosphere is great!
Always a place to relax, enjoy good music and food and have a great time with family and friends.
Great staff the DJ was amazing
Terrible lazy female bartenders plus the kitchen cooks get mad when you order food because they’re busy sitting at the bar watching sports and taking up the seats with the patrons
Best place to unwind and chill.
Good music and drinks, but everytime Ive gone it lacks to have a good crowd of people
This last time, it showed how much they need help at the 🍸 bar
