Burnhearts

Great atmosphere, with silly and interesting things all over the walls. I don't drink beer, but have been told there's a fantastic selection. The cocktails are unusual, interesting, and damn tasty (as well as strong!). Obviously you should go here.

I want to put a sleeping bag under the shuffleboard table and never ever leave this place! I'm actually contemplating moving to Milwaukee just so I can be a regular here.  

We were headed to Milwaukee for a weekend of metal and love.  They go together, trust me.  Anyways...
We were looking for places to go and I texted the infamous Candice G. for suggestions and this is how we found the love of my life.  I mean my favorite new bar.  

We looked it up online and were slowly falling for this place because of their cocktails and beer list, but then.. there it was... S H U F F L E B O A R D! YESSS! After a quick trip downtown for breakfast and some moonshine (yes those also go together) we headed to Burnhearts.  Thanks to iPhone Maps, we took one hell of a ride to get there too.  We walked in and already loved it.  I had one hell of a time trying to figure out what I wanted to drink but Mick, was patient and helpful with his suggestions.  We grabbed our drinks and headed back to the shuffleboard table where I kicked my boyfriends ass! It was a glorious day indeed.  
Back to the bar so I could grab a drink to celebrate and he could grab a drink to drown his tears in.  New drinks up, AND some pickle back shots.  Mick said he had just had it with tequila instead of whiskey so we were down to try it.  Delicious!

Mick asked our names and when he served our drinks, made sure to use them.  Now THATS friendly service! When we were about to head out, he had asked my boyfriend a yes/no question to which my boyfriend, Nick, responded..."DOES our names rhyme?!"  Maybe we were a liiiiiittle hammed... But in good fun Mick replied... "I don't know... DOES they?"  Yep, cut off.  No not really, but we cut ourselves off.  

All we've talked about is how we want to go back to Milwaukee.  And now that they have sweet snap back hats, that's our excuse (not like we need another one) to go back soon!

I like this bar enough. Situated in an easy to find location, plenty of tap options and friendly/efficient bartenders. I make a point to head to most of their block parties. I wish they'd put more effort into the food options, but Classic Slice is awesome in my book. The music is insanely loud, felt bad for my poor dogs sensitive ears, but I suppose that's to be expected. Strange collection of people, all pretty friendly.
