Veggas Pub — Restaurant in Milwaukee

One of the best dive bars in the city, without a doubt. Definitely not everyone's flavor but if you're down with a healthy dose of degeneracy and a good crusty atmosphere you'll absolutely love it here. It certainly doesn't look like it on the surface, but this is the only bar in the city that I've never once felt unsafe in - everyone looks out for everyone else and anyone who decides to cause trouble is promptly handled.

Update: several years later and this place is still my favorite spot in the city. Very low threshold for bullshit and troublemakers are handled promptly. They're hosting more shows nowadays too and the daily specials are...

Went one night to meet a black friend, was screamed at by the bartender Travis for being racist and to leave. On my way to avoid conflict and leave he insited a mob who surrounded me to push me towards the door. After shaking lemmings off me I proceeded to walk 6 feet to exit and Travis' boyfriend hits me in the head with a bottle. Apparently, he watches too much TV. The owner Craig is a decent guy and this would have never happened on his watch. I briefly assumed the manchild Travis bought the place because of his hysteria. Thank someone he does not, for drama queens...

Got some attitude from the bartender for spending money on the touch tunes? Apparently their friends were waiting on a song and we skipped them. No idea how we were supposed to know that. And then, for the rest of the night, whenever a song came on they didn't like, the bartender would look across the bar at us and complain about it. We didn't play those songs, bud 😂

I only live a few blocks away, but every time I come here it's a crap shoot whether it will be a good time or just...
