Up & Under Pub

Booze and blues mingle in this smoky joint that advertises its popularity with a wall of famous performers' photos.. The Scene
This pub proclaims itself the blues capital of Milwaukee on its front windows. The marquee confirms the claim; Big Jim Liban, Otis Rush, Hudson, Blues Harp Jimmy and Milwaukee Slim have all played on the pub's stage. The century-old, long, narrow pub has a high ceiling, hardwood floors and an antique wooden bar. Smoke dances around the throngs of music lovers, young and old.

The Draw
More than 20 beers are on tap, with plenty of microbrews from local breweries like Sprecher and Lakefront. There's also Guinness, Harp, Bud and Miller. Need a cocktail? Plenty of the hard stuff awaits at the full bar. Decent pub grub is available, but people really come to smoke, drink and listen to great music. Anything else is just a perk.…
