Best bar on/near North Avenue/UWM, 2007: Paddy's Pub
With its unique patio and homey interior, clean bathrooms, good vibes and rollicking music inside and outside, the Irish-themed Paddy's is a neighborhood favorite. Add in bowls of peanut M&Ms and you've got a recipe for success.

Best pickup bar, 2007: Victor's on Van Buren
The phrase "pickup bar" has kind of a sleazy ring to it, but you don't stay open for 45 years without doing something right.

Live karaoke rocks!
I'm the last person to admit that there's fun stuff you can do in Chicago but not in Milwaukee, but last weekend, I found something that simply must make its way to Brew City: live karaoke.

Eating good 'n' cheap in Milwaukee
Pinching pennies until payday? Well, you still have to eat ... and while the higher end, trendy joints seem to get a lot more media play, hometown Milwaukee has more than its share of some great places to get cheap eats that won't bust your budget, and will leave you with a happy tummy and a smiling face.
