I wish we got food here but the service and roof top view was spectacular! A must visit if you’re in the area or passing by. The bartender knew his stuff and made an amazing Moscow mule. It’s a simple drink, but some people just don’t do it justice. I didn’t get his name, but he totally nailed it.I also wish we went on a warmer day. The views from the rooftop bar were amazing. It really captures the river and downtown scene of Milwaukee.

My boyfriend and I stopped here to get a quick appetizer before the Bucks game. I liked the vibe of the bar!We ordered the cheese curds and a side of pickles. Both were good. We were surprised when the cheese curds came out on top of seasoned fries, we just didnt read the menu properly! The dish was filling. The pickles were good, just a touch spicy, which is fine! Will come back here again!

Cool place with an interesting menu, excellent service and great specials!The Bahn Mi was on special for FIVE DOLLARS and was delicious! Where else can you get duck anything for $5?! We also really enjoyed their cheese curds. Some of the best curds we had throughout the city.Impressed and would definitely go back if ever in Milwaukee again.

The bartender/server was amazing! The food and drinks were fantastic. They have a rooftop bar where you can enjoy drinks at this time of year, but unfortunately, food is not served there (we were slightly disappointed). However, the service downstairs made up for it.**reply**We completely understand, cant make everyone happy, and that is okay! We still had a great time, and the place is awesome just the way it is!! The rooftop is still great, the food is amazing, and the staff is super chill and very hospitable.

Great place to stop for a quick bite or to watch the game and have some beer. Uncle Bucks has a low key, casual, comfortable and family friendly vibe with a menu typical for the area. Prices are reasonable and food tasty! Check out those giant pretzels! WOW! 🥘 🍺 🌮 🥗 🥨

I kind of like this gin joint. Its fairly expensive, but the food is much better pub grub than youre going to find in the Deer District. It gets really busy before games or concerts, so plan accordingly.They have an extensive selection of bourbon, and other adult beverages. All of our food came out piping hot, and the cheese curds were the bomb. Try it out sometime before a Bucks or Marquette game. Or dont. I dont care.....

This place was a great spot super close to Fiserv for the Bucks game for a pregame bite/drink. Cheesecurds were really good and a huge portion. Ahi Tuna Po Boy was very good for my meal.Waitresses were super nice and it was a great time. I will be back.

Fun Rustic Northwoods themed Sports Bar located near Fiserv and the Deer District.On a scale of (1-5)Cleanliness: 4.5 (Overall Clean Restaurant)Service: 5 (Fantastic Service)Food: 4 (Good Flavors on all the dishes. The Braised Beef Short Rib really needed an acid element given the richness of the dish. The Apple Crisp needed more ice cream as it was overly tart without.)Value: 3.5 (Decent value on the downtown dining prix fixe menu. Slight knock for not providing standard menu items)

Went into Uncle Bucks with my brother and his 2 kids. Place was very family friendly and they’re just FRIENDLY!! Our food was fantastic. The “Nachos” are gorgeous and delicious. I put it in quotes because they’re not your typical nachos. They’re exceptionally better! Great vibe, great service and great food!! Make it your dinner spot before a game!

Great atmosphere, fun selection and literally one of the best servers I’ve ever had. Will definitely be a must-stop when we’re in Milwaukee. Had dinner - went to the game and came back for drinks upstairs!

Popped in for a cocktail before the concert at the Forum across the way. The place was packed...I heard them say it was an hour and a half wait for a table. But, I just wanted a drink and a bathroom break. :) I was directed upstairs to their bar, so I ordered two Titos and soda waters($9 each). It was busy up there too, but the bartender was keeping up. I enjoyed my stop here. Thank you!

Review №15

Do not come to uncle bucks during a sporting event. Their bartender is more focused on counting his tips than serving the 50+ patrons waiting for a drink. He doesn’t allow food to be brought up from the first floor. So upsetting with the normal service we receive during bucks games

Review №16

This was our second time at Uncle Bucks and our second disappointment. This time I feel I had to say something. We came in and were seated at a table right away. We ordered a Vodka Cranberry and a High Life. The server came back after several minutes and informed us they were out of High Life and asked if I still wanted a Vodka Redbull, which I politely corrected and said it was a Vodka Cranberry. At the same time we also placed an order for Cheese Curds.Some time later, I received my drink and it was extremely weak and the ice was almost completely melted from sitting for too long. Our food arrived a few minutes later and immediately we could tell something was off. The cheese curds were completely clumped together (literally the size of a baseball- see picture) and had burnt bits in other parts. To add insult to injury, our basket was overflowing with fries??? We double checked the menu and sure enough, the dish they labeled Cheese Curds had a tiny disclaimer in the description that it also contained seasoned fries. Extremely misleading and definitely a cheap move. Our server didnt check back on us, so after we finished our drinks I flagged him down. I stated our Cheese Curds were inedible and showed him the massive chunks of greasy cheese, he immediately took it away, apologized and said he would talk to the fry cook. I thanked him and asked for our check.He came back and said that he talked to the cook and then gave us our bill for full price. It was a complete slap to the face that we were still expected pay for an appetizer that we sent over half of back. Our server was very busy and I would never want to be a Karen, so I just paid it and we went on our way. I dont think we will ever be back to this establishment based on the low quality food and the unfair service.

My Husband had the Ahi Tuna and I had the pulled pork with the duck nachos. The French fries were very good. Hubby loved the Ahi tuna with the bacon. He said it was delicious. The pulled pork was tender and juicy. The bbq sauce was excellent. The staff and owner were great! We will definitely be back when we come up this way again.

Buck decorations on the first floor, dance floor on the second, and a rooftop patio make this bar perfect for many customers, old and young. They also have the best djs in Milwaukee.

Review №21

Unfortunately, the service was terrible, but the food was great. I was charged for an extra $7 beer that I didnt realize until I was home. I was also charged an extra 3% for using a credit card. I guess I thought we lived in 2023... everyone uses a credit card and shouldnt be charged for doing so. Our waitress/bartender rolled her eyes when we asked to add on another appetizer. It was embarrassing to ask for another appetizer which adds to the bill and our waitress rolls her eyes...wow. We will never return to this establishment and will tell everyone we know about our negative review.

Took the kiddo before Monster Jam. Got seated immediately. Server was wonderful and attentive. Food was stellar. The venison bites were amazing with a delightful sauce that we got more bread for. I got the po boy with extra pickles on the side which I highly recommend. My son had the Buffalo chicken sandwich I believe. Both got the wedge fries that were well seasoned. Plates were empty when we left. Highly recommend a visit!

Review №25

Spouse and I went for 1st time before Marquette game a couple of nights ago. Positives..got seated immediately on a crowded Wed night and our server (Hannah?) was very sweet and attentive. The bad...we ordered a smothered steak sandwich and a Caesars salad which we were going to split and we were both amazed at the small portion of both items. The salad had no croutons and was as small of an entree salad as I might have ever seen. The sandwich was a close second. For the price paid for both and the serving size encountered this restaurant would be off my dance card. Disappointing to say the least. Atypical in Milwaukee.

Review №29

We arrived at Uncle Bucks and got seated right away. It was all downhill from there.After 15 minutes of not having been greeted by a server (despite the tables around us receiving service) I inquired with the host as to when we might be able to order from someone.As soon as we met our server we quickly put our food order in. We watched and waited as the tables around us received their food, but never got ours. Nor did our server check in with us. After an hour I again visited the host stand to ask when our food might be out. Our server had no clue, and when she returned to our table from the kitchen she told us there were still 5 other tables in front of ours.We left hungry.

Place has a fun atmosphere. I have visited twice now and both times had great service (staff is friendly and very attentive), the food was good, and the place is very clean (visited day after St Patricks Day while the city is also hosting NCAA tournament). The first time I visited we brought our kids and I loved that our server was attentive to them (asked them what they wanted directly and not thru us parents). Such a friendly crew! Highly recommend.

While walking from the Hyatt on our way to FiServ, it was right where we needed it to be. They had plenty of room for our very large group around the bar. The food was delicious and the drinks were exactly what we needed. Very attentive staff with an ambiance that was conducive to conversation. Will be back when I’m in the area!

Had a great time at my son’s & future daughter-in-laws engagement party here. They booked a private room through Liz and she was so helpful with everything. Made it all come together really nicely. Bartender serving our event was AWESOME!! Please help me with his name. I highly recommend having a private party here. Loved opening the garage doors for the outdoor breeze. Bravo you guys! Thank you for adding to Awesome memories being made. 💕🎉

First time there and well definitely be back! We had our baby with us and our waiter Nicky made us feel very welcomed with his kindness and patience! Definitely amazing to see workers like him, so happy and accommodating! The food was also amazing, those venison meatballs are to die for and those habanero poppers kick your butt! But so delicious. The place had a very comfortable feel too, and very clean

We were seated but had to ask multiple times for help ordering. Once we got our food our food has no sauce barely on the wings or pulled pork. Shortly after barely eating any of their food I’m puking, hot, probably food poisoning.

Bought tickets for new years party. Never made it in!!! I purchased VIP tickets for an event that started at 9 pm got there right at 9:20 and waited in line which was fine until after 2 hours of waiting in a line that never moved. During the wait asked the person at the door about the 2 lines wanted to make sure I was in the right line. Told me to not ask too many questions and get back in line and of course, tickets are not refundable Not sure how but Im getting my money back. They didnt start letting people in until after 11.

The atmosphere was fun and the servers were nice. Food is pretty bad except for the fries that were seasoned. Ordered the shredded steak sandwich. Beef was not shredded but sliced and soo dry. The meal said it came with au jus but I had to ask for it and when i went to dip into it, it was solid on top. The juice was cold and smelled like soy sauce?? Not a lot people were eating which now makes sense. The drinks were cheap but the food is absolutely disgusting.

Wow! This place began with an obvious racial situation. My twin and I were out celebrating our 55th birthday wearing t shirts that read this fact. We laughed at the request of my twins ID check. My twin gave her ID laughing at the guys seriousness of the request. My sister in law that was right next to my twin was searching for her ID was told she didnt need to worry about getting her ID, she could skip it. I being right next to her was immediately amazed at that. I like my twin had to produce my ID, I MEAN I HAD TO PRODUCE MY ID. There was NO joking by the security ID person. I had my ID ready, but now Im ready to leave. We stayed to have the 1 cocktail we each wanted, that was a mistake. I asked could the bartender make a lemon drop martini? Yes was the answer. No shouldve been the answer. It was vermouth with a lemon wedge (awful). The whiskey sour that was ordered was awful it only has two ingredients and that wasnt made correctly. The last drink was a cranberry vodka, how do you mess up all three cocktails? The bartender also without permission took money off the dirty bar top thinking I guess it was a tip? No not at all. I had to pour hand sanitizer on the bar to clean it before sitting at the bar. Not once did the ladies behind the bar wipe down the bar while we were there. The bar had a paper in the window with a large letter A on it, I cant imagine why? There were other people that came in after us, that turned and left. This was a terrible experience, I obviously wouldnt recommend this bar. BTW My twin and I are biracial women and my sister in law is white, the security gentleman was an older white man. I didnt have to look for inequality I was met at the door by it, that was unfortunate. Do better Uncle Buck!

I’m a 20 year licensed bartender who decided to step out with some friends and family this evening. Not sure if my dark skin was intimidating to this fair skinned bartender, if she was having a not so good night, or if she was offended that I asked her to remake a Long Island that was bought for and brought to me by someone else.100% of the time I can smell a drink a tell what is in it. This one smelled and tasted like nothing but mixer. I then went to the bar, greeted the bartender with a smile, then asked her she was the one who made my drink because there was a male bartender as well. She confirmed. I then asked her what she put in it, she told me, the ingredients for a Long Island. I then asked her if she could remake the drink so I could watch how she made it. She did with an attitude. I noticed she put about 1oz of the different liquors combined. There goes the problem…. I asked her if she could “top it off”, assuming she felt like the pours was accurate. She said “if you want to pay for it”. I told her no, I’d rather the money back. Her attitude escalated, she picked up her phone sent a text and said her manager would be up to refund my money. I said ok. I waited patiently for the manager, upon his arrival w/security, she spoke something in his ear, then security walked over to me and told me that the bartender said I cursed her out and I had to leave. She flat out lied. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Why? I explained what really happened to security as well as the manager. The manager listened but made zero eye contact with me the entire time and ended up walking away before I could finish telling him the truth of the matter.I’m a business owner/manager as well and would never treat my customers how they treated me tonight. This wasn’t my first night here but will definitely be my last.

Walked in to Uncle Bucks because we wanted to try something new. We were almost deterred because they had a huge dress code sign near the menu in the front entrance. We thought the dress code was a little ridiculous because the restaurant wasnt that fancy, the servers were all wearing flannel button downs.They had a big beer menu and wine menu, but lacked a specialty drink menu. They did have a fully stocked bar, so I asked for a gin and tonic. I dont think the bartender knew how to make a gin and tonic because my drink tasted like Sprite.We started with the fried cheese curds which were pretty good, it looked like they gave you a huge portion then we realized they put short pieces of French fries in the bottom of the basket to push up the curds. Then I had the burger, which sounded really good because it said it was a custom blend of Chuck, short rib, and brisket so I ordered it medium rare, and unfortunately it came out well done. The cheese and sauce on the burger really didnt have enough flavor, but the bun was probably the best thing on the plate. Unfortunately the fries were disappointing because they were short stubby little pieces.

This place is a great location but run poorly. I went for the bucks game on Saturday. The bartender was not a great guy, pretty mean. If you were at the bar you were waiting at least 20 minutes for a drink. I had a first come first serve table on the second floor to watch the game and was just bullied by a completely overcrowded 2nd floor. I bought 3 buckets of miller lites 18 in total and paid $80 before tip. I honestly cannot say there was one thing I really liked about this place...

Pretty cool place with different levels n rooftop bar. Right next to Firserv so great to grab a drink before n after game/concerts.Careful though they carry an unannounced credit card FEE plus put the tax on top of drinks. So a $6 beer turns into $7. Not cool especially in times of contactless payments...not sure how cash works if you get stuck with a bunch of change??Idk if credit card fee is on food n table service.And each bar has different selection of beers...from rooftop to dance club bar. Otherwise nice to check out.

I highly recommend Uncle Bucks! The owner did a wonderful job renovating this space. The first floor consists of seating, an amazing bar area with huge TVs and clean bathrooms with a perfect mirror for pictures. The second floor is for parties that features a roll open garage door with a beautiful view of Deer District. The third floor has a wonderful bar and a patio with a fire pit! Food and drinks were excellent. Some of my favorites were the Cheese Curds, Wings, tacos, the Margarita and the Uncle Buck!!

I am a regular here because the staff is so friendly…calling me by name or asking my name if they do not know it. The beer selection is extensive and the food options original (not standard bar food). Plenty of TVs and they show BOTH Bucks and Packers if they are playing at the same time. Love Uncle Bucks and Vicky recommend!

Great local place in a popular neighborhood. The menu has a good variety, including vegan options, great BBQ, burgers, and other creative dishes while still featuring the local favorites like fried cheese curds, a Milwaukee-style pretzel, wings and fish fry.

Review №56

I feel compelled to tell a story about our recent experiences here. These guy are, BY FAR, our favorite kids on the block. Our group is from NW Indiana has been coming up there 4 or 5x a yr for weekend party getaways bc, frankly, Chicago sucks. Anyway, we were in there a couple weeks ago towards the end of the evening and hit the rooftop bar. Their bartendress, Samantha, up there was awesome. Cute as a button, attentive, engaging, funny, sassy and cool. We came back this past weekend and came in on Friday BC of her and the vibe of the joint. We had a blast. Finished a nearly bottle of your top shelf bourbon and the GM Lawrence wasted no time at all, despite how busy you guys were, and found us another bottle without even asking. We would have been perfectly content sampling the rest of your impressive choice of options. My wife later decided she wanted one of your zip up hoodies. Her size wasnt readily available from your stock. Their Ops Mgr, Ricardo, went above and beyond and damn near dismantled the display case to check the size of the display piece. It worked and he made the sale being completely friendly and NEVER pushy. We came back the next evening because of the level of customer service we got on Friday. The SECOND we walked thru the door we were met by your GM Lawrence: Hey, yall are back for more! These people at the end of the bar are leaving, cmon. And walked us over to the seats. He spoke with the bartender, made a motion in our direction and before you knew it the bar was cleaned and we had fresh cocktail napkins and drink orders being taken. TRULY VIP service. We were blown away. I was most impressed with even being remembered, let alone THAT level of customer service. In an area of LITERALLY dozens of options to drink/eat/party at, theyve set the standard for service that will bring people back. Already looking to book our next trip. Thanks for the unforgettable experience, cant wait to come back.Signed, Customers for life.

Review №57

I want this place to be great, or at least good. But it’s not. The management is truly terrible. They lie to their patrons about what is available while simultaneously giving preferential treatment to his friends. These are also some of the WORST cheese curds in the city. And it’s hard to mess up fried cheese curds.If looking for a place before a Bucks game, Marquette game or just headed out for a night in the town, find somewhere else.

Do not go here if you are a man that may need to use the bathroom. In their massive restaurant/bar they had zero functioning bathroom stalls when I visited. The food was ok and and the drinks were a bit overpriced but the bathroom situation was unacceptable.If you are near Fiserv then go to one of the other bars there. Unacceptable

I will never go back. They are racist. I was on the dance floor with my fiancé (who’s black) and was stopped by security and was told he fit the description of someone who was too intoxicated. We got kicked out. I tried to reason with the employees, but got pushed out the doorway.

It was a polar vortex. 0 degrees outside. Spent at least $300 cumulative at this bar. Didnt let my buddies and I stand in the hallway (masks on) for 5 minutes to wait for our Uber. Rather, they sent us to the curb and proceeded to call the police for us “loitering.” Please never spend your hard earned dine at this bar ever again. They DO NOT care about their customers, but only care about revenue.

Great food but pretty sure the bartender water downed my beer unless the purple haze is supposed to taste like fizzy water that sat next to a basket of raspberries for a weekEdit- Ive never second guessed a beer like that before and my friends both agreed it tasted out of wack for a beer considering it was the first beer of the night for my 23rd birthday, but if thats how purple haze is supposed to taste then put it under seltzer cause thats not beer lol also tell your servers to card before they give someone a beer, only reason why I thought they watered it was because she seemed confused if I was of age after she gave me the beer so someone else probably pointed it out which could of been the bartender who poured it 🤷‍♀️ just guessing but seriously, change purple haze to a seltzer if its supposed to taste like water so people dont think its a beer

Great bloody marys, very nice waitstaff. Went prior to MU game and had very nice time. Also very close to Fiserv Forum.

I like how the bartenders tip themselves with other people debit cards. It’s illegal and you’ll be hearing from my lawyer. The security sucks too since win can minors get in the bar for 20 bucks. Shameful

It’s a cool bar but the manager with the curved hat is extremely rude and unprofessional. If I were the owner’s, I would immediately address the situation.
