Editorial Review for Milwaukee Ale House – by Citysearch Staff
The Scene
A huge interior is divided into two spacious floors accented with low lighting and exposed brick. The downstairs holds a restaurant and stage with plenty of seating for dinner crowds and live-music audiences.
The Draw
Brewmaster Jim Olen ensures that Sheepshead Stout, Pull Chain Ale, Louie's Demise and the other beers produced at Milwaukee Ale House keep the good times rolling until closing time. There's swing dancing on Tuesdays. Wednesdays feature regional and national talent, such as guitar master Dana Robinson or Delta blues impresario Honey Boy Edwards. Friday evenings offer folk or jazz at 5:30pm, and a bigger band sound starting at 9:30pm, usually with the snazzy sounds of the 15-piece Swing Nouveau. Saturday lineups feature local favorites.

I have had two horrible experiences at this place and was surprised at how often I heard the same. I recently was on their patio and waited 2 hours for any food - if you could call it that... Reheated nachos with cheese too hard to even chip at with a knife. When I complained, a very rude little man who called himself the "GM" assured me that I could have a cup of soup or chips for free...ARE YOU SERIOUS?? Just wanted $$$ back but was told "My hands are tied." - Sound familiar??? Waitresses even apologized for the rudeness of the GM - When I asked how to contact the owner, they stated that this shifty little *** was an owner....WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE?

I was recently overcharged at this restuarant by 100%. When I called the Milwaukee Ale House they said that there was nothing they could do and that it was "just a mistake". When I confirmed that it was the error of their waitress they agreed that it was , but apparently it didn't matter they wouldn't reverse the charge. The GM and the restaurant manager both claimed "their hands were tied" and that they could not offer me any help. I told them i was dissapointed tha they were burdening the customer, because of the waitresses mistake and the Restaurant Manager practically hung up on me. I guess they are not concerned with keeping my business. I thought lost business was a bad thing. I guess for the Milwaukee ale house bad business is what they do and unfortunatley their hands are tied on changing it!
