The service and food in this place does not allow it to be categorized as a "dive bar". It should be categorized in the never visit this dump ever category. Two individuals in our party never received their order and we had to seek out the "waitress" at the end to pay so we could make it to the game. This normally wouldn't be that big of an issue but we finished with our " meals" about a half hour prior to us seeking her out. The quality of the food was atrocious. This place sucks.
Review Source:I'll admit I'm biased. Â I was destined to like this place since my sister in law is a bartender there and SOB's seems to be a second home for my Milwaukee family. Â But that being said I would like this place anyway. Â It's a dive bar, totally unpretentious, and fun.
This place is crawling with all walks of life, I saw a girl there who was doing some serious man hunting - I thought her boobs were going to fly out. Â I also had a very not-hot guy try to impress me with his white guy dance moves. Â
There are darts, billiards, a nice jukebox. Â The bathrooms are nice for a bar and the prices are totally reasonable. Â SOB's is just a fun place to hang out and drink.

Three shots of Beam and a Guiness later we realized this bartender either didn't speak English, had an affinity for our easy-going-ness, or had an ability to just not care that was steadily approaching Big Lebowski type proportions. Â Either way, this dude abides.
I really can not tell you if this is a sports bar, a ye olde pub, or something more prolific. Â What I can tell you is that you will enjoy the randomness and the genuine awesomeness of some great peeps living the good life in Sconny nation. Â I will be back to have a third and fourth go round during my next Miller Park visit just to be sure I get the full effect. Â
All in all, this is a nice place to grab a few or bear hug thirty. Â In either case, the laid back atmosphere of the early evening crowd is a solid class to consume beverages or food items with.
S.O.B. is a pretty average bar. Â The interior is dark and wood paneled with plenty of dart boards and pool tables. Â The food is pretty average--the pizzas and fried apps seem frozen, but, apparently the fish fry is tasty. Â
It doesn't really have enough tv's to be considered a sports bar, but it's filled with sports fans since it's so close to Miller Park. Â After the games it gets pretty crowded. Â But, one especially nice thing is that S.O.B.'s has their own van, the "Brew Crewser," that takes you to and from the game for free.
