Beer and bar dice are lasting Milwaukee traditions
Milwaukee is a bar dice kind of town. Walk into places like Steny's, Tracks or Slim's during happy hour and you're greeted with the sounds of dice clacking and leather cups slamming onto the bar. Unless it's a posh club, you'd be hard-pressed to find a Milwaukee bar that doesn't have a dice cup or two for when the nights are slow.

The Monkey Bar warms up winter with indoor sports
Now on its 12th season, the College House Beer Pong League is gearing up in Walker's Point. Monkey Bar, 1619 S. 1st St., has a Wednesday night league that began Jan. 28 (new teams are still welcome) and a Sunday afternoon league that starts Feb. 7. Required skills? Nothing more than accurate aim and a tough tolerance for alcohol.
