My Bro-in-law took me to the Sugar Maple in Bay View area of Milw. Trendy, storefront kinda bar with 300+ microbrews, 75 or so on tap. Sample what you want, get bigger glasses of what you like.


Wow, this place sounds fantastic, Effective. I'm definitely going to check it out on my next trip up. I used to go to Milwaukee and Madison every couple of months for work purposes, but haven't been able to get there lately.

Here's the website for anyone interested: http://www.mysugarmaple.com/.

Where are the ping-pong clubs?

Also, for anyone heading north but looking to quench your thirst halfway to Milwaukee this is a good
spot in Kenosha just off the highway. http://mikelikesbeer.com/UMhwy.htm

It is on the east side of 94. 86 beers on tap every day and a couple hundred available in bottles.
Food is also very good.

That looks like a good spot, T-Bone. When I'm passing through Kenosha, I usually like to hit the Brat Stop for a nice char-grilled brat from the bar. But I think I'm going to have to give this place a whirl. Is it housed in the building formerly occupied by a restaurant called Taste of Wisconsin?

We were coming back from Chicago yesterday and a guy I work with was talking about this place and said it was fantastic. Would love to try it, but damn that would be a long drive back home.

TM, I think you may be right. It is on the frontage road along the highway just north of the Woodmans
and Gander Mountain there. I know it was some kind of Eastern European restaurant before closing and
becoming Uncle Mikes. I went in there once and didn't see anything that I wanted to try, most of all the
blood sausages. I just took at look at the offerings in bottles and it is quite a selection. Good place to
watch a football game but seating can become limited quickly. Also a nice shuffleboard table along the
front wall is always a good time if you are with friends.

Where are the ping-pong clubs?


Spin is in the "Third Ward", Chicago and Water streets downtown. Hipster area primo! Started by Susan Sarandon and part owned by one of the Indy Car drivers from WI. Full line of Sprecher on tap and nice selection of other micro brews. Rent a table by the hour. People paid to pick up the loose balls. We went on a Thursday night, early, with the kids and grandparents, had a fun time, pretty good food, as well. The college crowd was just coming in when we left, but there were some amazing players to watch around the room.

OK, I know exactly where this place is. Will have to check it out. Thanks for the information.

Now that you have the knowledge, what are you going to do about it? Better involve having a beer there!

Don't let KS fool you, he is a giant tease. I was in his backyard and he wouldn't return my Taylor Swift love calls.

The thumb should try to hold the pointer finger down. I never like when that finger is half way up the middle one.
