Best suburban bar, 2009: Leff's Lucky Town
But, Leff's Lucky Town isn't flashy, fancy or very remarkable. But, the customers in Wauwatosa love it just the same. Located in a historic building that once housed a silent movie theater and a shoe store that fronted a Prohibition speakeasy, Leff's, 7208 W. State St., was a runaway winner for best suburban bar in the OnMilwaukee.com readers' poll.

Colonel Hart's serves a history lesson with libations
History is a natural topic of conversation at Colonel Hart's, 7342 W. State St., because the bar is named for Wauwatosa's first settler -- Charles Hart -- and the walls and tabletops are filled with sports memorabilia from the glory days of the Brewers, Bucks, Badgers, Packers and Marquette. While it was never flashy and hasn't changed a lot in the past 20-plus years, the bar feels as comfortable as a pair of old jeans.

Bar hopping in Wauwatosa is like a trip through time
Tosa serves as a real-life timeline of 20th century bars: you'll find quaint neighborhood taps on the east side; bigger, more modern sports bars to the west; and even larger, corporately-owned bars on the edge of town.
