On the town in Milwaukee: How diverse is your nightlife?
It was a conversation sparked by McBob's Bar and Grill. If you've never been, McBob's is part Irish tavern, part sports bar but mainly a local joint drawing a hefty portion of the surrounding Washington Heights neighborhood. They serve heaping mounds of corned beef, Irish beers on tap plus great deals on giant tacos.

On the town in Milwaukee: Do you join in on "Sunday funday?"
Where Sunday was previously reserved for recovery and respite in time for work Monday morning, someone coined the "Sunday funday" slogan, effectively adding another night of late night social drinking to the weekend.

Restaurant Idol
I've been involved in a lot of discussions lately about whose responsibility it is to keep Milwaukee restaurants in business. And it is true that if people don't patronize their favorite restaurants, they may end up having to close. So, please, Milwaukeeans, make sure you're holding up your end.

St. Patrick's Scene: McBob's
St. Patrick's Day started early at McBob's Pub & Grill, 4919 W. North Ave., Tuesday morning. It also started without great fanfare. Moments after the doors opened at 8 a.m. at this West Side favorite, a couple dozen people were already at the free Irish breakfast buffet, which lasts until 10 a.m. and included scrambled eggs, soda bread and Irish stew.
