Milwaukee's Most British British Pub

I have visited England and the U.K. several times and I know what an authentic British pub looks like having been in several.  A visit to this fairly new establishment( going on two years old) known as the Three Lions Pub in the Milwaukee east side suburb of Shorewood took me back to a feeling of being across the big pond. This pub has the authentic English atmosphere down with the  wooden oak paneling, lanterns hanging from the ceiling, English ale and lager signs and small corner tables. The food is tasty, and comes in generous portions. It consists of traditional English pub fare such as Fish and Chips with mushy peas, Sheppard's, Cottage and Cheese and Onion pies, and Chicken Curry and Chips. Most of the time, foreign football( soccer) matches are shown on big screen tv's. The owner is also a U.K. native, coming from Lancashire on a soccer scholarship to Cardinal Strith College and some of his employees have an English accent too. You'll hear a lot of " aye  mate" and "cheers" here. I would recommend this pub to anyone craving a bit of unique atmosphere,  and wanting a change from the typical Wisconsin bar ambiance ( Packers, Nascar, Harley stuff).

Sweet Mullets- A gem of a little brewpub

There is a fairly new brewpub in Oconomowoc with a cozy atmosphere, good food, friendly service and some excellent, very flavorful beer which is brewed right on the premises called Sweet Mullets. Their 401 Red Ale has won the 2012 award of 'Best local beer" by Milwaukee Magazine. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a change from the ordinary bar atmosphere and beer selection.
