George's Pub, Milwaukee

Back last November, a couple of Canadians came into Zoo Bar on a Saturday. They liked to travel, and always look for dive bars when they do. They told us the story of a place in Milwaukee where they met the owner, and older man who crooned a few songs, and how it was their favorite bar they’d ever visited. We googled it as they were telling us about it, and immediately decided we needed to plan a trip to Milwaukee to go see it. Yes, George’s Pub is the entire reason six of us were currently gathered in Milwaukee for a four-day weekend.

Around the corner from the Cheesehead Factory, George’s is in a small house adjacent to a bridge. When we first arrived it was packed, as they are on the Pedal Tavern route and the Pedal Tavern was currently there. So we went to Cheesehead first to buy foam cheese hats. By the time we were done, the Pedal Tavern was gone and it was much less crowded.

George was there! He didn’t stay very long, but we did get to meet him. In the photos below, he’s the one with a dog on his lap.

I had a Riverwest Stein (lager) by Lakefront Brewery and, if I remember correctly, some shots.
