Reviews for O'Lydia's Bar and Grill in Milwaukee, WI
Had a very nice experience at O'Lydia's. We were there with a party of 9 that included 4 kids aged 4-9 on a Sunday for lunch.... The food was very good and there was plenty of room for seating both in the indoor and outdoor areas. We are from out of town socouldn't take advantage, but I noticed some pretty good happy hour and drink specials each day, as well. All of our meals werequite tasty and would definitely go back.

I absolutely love this place, as it is positively delightful for gathering in groups to enjoy each other's company. Food is... consistently on point, and the drink options are plentiful. Great music, comfortable environs, and delightful staff round thingsout. It just doesn't get much better than this! Read more
O'Lydia's is a delightful bar and grill with a four seasons patio, as well as a traditional outdoor patio. Viewing from the... street, and when you walk in, it doesn't look very big due to the location and style of the original 1800s building. However,with the patio spaces they can accommodate a lot of people. Which is a very good thing when it comes to wings on Wednesday. Wetried three appetizers (mozz sticks, Reuben rolls, and Irish potato skins). They were all very large individual pieces and werejust delicious. Wings are $0.95 each with a one drink minimum. The drink does not need to be alcoholic in nature. Minimum offive wings per sauce. I had the buffalo and the O'Lydia's BBQ (they have 3 BBQ choices). First let me say the wings are notthe chintzy little things you find at a lot of places. These are meaty. And the sauces are fanTAStic. The buffalo has thatexpected tabasco kick without being the burn-your-mouth-so-bad-you-can't-taste-anything-else level of heat. The O'Lydia's BBQis sweet, but not overly, with just a tiny kick for balance. Others ordered in our group: garlic parmesan, honey mustard, andJameson Brown Sugar. All agreed they are the best wings we've had in quite some time. I even ordered an additional 10 to takehome. I will warn you, they are heavily sauced, which is by NO means a bad thing, but it makes them a messy adventure. Ibrought vinyl gloves - I keep them in my kitchen for cooking so I grab some on my way to dinners where I'll be eating fingerfoods. It's just easier clean-up. I also have no shame in using napkin bibs...only one who didn't have sauce on my shirt atthe end of the evening! Our server Kristen was great. She was very attentive and patient with our seemingly ever-changingorders as she went around the table. She was pleasant and not pushy to get us to move along. She checked on us regularly butnot excessively. I recommend O'Lydia's to the wing lover, though I'm sure their regular menu would just Read more
The Buffalo chicken mac is liquid gold. It's the perfect level of Creamy, cheesy, and heat. My two suggestions would be to add... extra chicken and try it with bacon bits! I thought there wasn't as much chicken as I was hoping for but it was still amazingeither way! I used the garlic bread to mop up the leftover Creamy cheese and it was a perfect way to end the meal We also hadthe best Ruben rolls which isn't pictured but they are easily some of the best in Milwaukee. This meal is some of the bestthings on the menu! Read more
If you come here for nothing else than the Rueben rolls, you?re good. They are INSANE. ???? Honestly, I?d go here just for... Ruben Rolls and a drink. But the fish fry is worth a try as well. Great drink offers, even on a Friday. PBR and a jamo shot for$4 and more. The server was a bit off but the food, drink deals, and variety of menu more than made up for it. The websitereally dragged me in when I was deciding a new fish fry and I?m glad I came! Read more
My first time here and couldn't be more pleased with the service the food and the drinks. I had the hangover burger it's a must... when you come here. I sat at the bar Amanda the bartender was really nice and welcoming. Read more
Definitely more than what you expect from a normal bar. The menu here is very generous and won't disappoint a foodie. Two... things I like about this place. First it being very convenient, on more than just one aspect. It's convenient to go to,convenient to park, convenient to order. The second is the wide and diverse menu. The menu is definitely inspired by Irishcuisine but also slightly untraditional at the same time. The place offers multiple seating options including outdoor patio.Whether you prefer dark ambience or light one, you will find an "okay" spot for you in here. The service is very good. Fast andattentive. No complaints here. I like their French Fries. The Reuben rolls are fantastic. Everything we tried here wasdefinitely above okay. I will be coming back again. Read more
We had lunch here after Santa Rampage. We had a group of 8 and were accommodated quite well. Server was super friendly and... efficient and checked on us frequently. Most of us bloodies which were delish and lots of garnish. We ate from breakfast/brunchmenu. Good variety and everyone loved their items...good portion sizes. WE will definitely be back. Read more
