On the town in Milwaukee: Bocce, music and art at the Intercontinental
What if, instead of choosing from myriads of bars, restaurants and entertainment venues to cobble together an evening of fun, one place offered food, drinks and unique events? The Intercontinental hotel has fun on tap -- from lobby bocce to an art and fashion show, live indie music and even the occasional free beer.

On the town in Milwaukee: Happy hour daily double
What began as a liquor infused party aboard U.S. Navy ships in the 1920s led us to a late afternoon standard tradition of discounted food and drinks in bars, restaurants and lounges. It's the recessionista's best friend. Often including two-for-one specials, cheap taps and half-price rail drinks, drinkers save a hefty chunk of cash by heading out early.

Best bar in Downtown / Third Ward, 2007: The Wicked Hop
The Wicked Hop might just be the perfect spot for a Downtown happy hour, and with he help of the adjoining Jackalope Lounge, it's good for some live music, as well.

Best bars for a bender
Sometimes, after a long day at work, you need a quick cocktail at happy hour to calm those jangled nerves. Then, there are those days when that happy hour turns into a six-hour bender. You know what we're talkin' about.

Skee-Ball at an Irish pub? Try Bubs
There's Paddy's, Mo's, Judge's, and the Irish pub list goes on. But none of these places flaunts the fun and games that Bubs does. Skee-Ball, dart ball, Air Hockey and plenty more childhood arcade memories come alive at this Germantown pub.

501 mixes drinks, networking, even romance each Friday
They get together every Friday, but don't call it a club. You'll probably meet people who can further your career, but don't call it a networking group. You might even find romance, but don't call it a singles party. Don't call it anything. Just follow their simple slogan, attached at the end of every e-mail invitation: "Giddy Up. Pass it on. See you there."
