Established in 1956, Champion’s Pub is tucked away a block from Oakland and North Avenues, on Bartlett Avenue. It’s a great place to escape the usual bustling bar crowds and hide out for drinks and conversation. It’s modest, real, and hassle-free. Champion’s is a great place to get a start on your evening . As a neighborhood pub, there are plenty of unique and friendly folks to chat with, or partner up for a game of shuffleboard, cribbage, Golden Tee Live, Silver Strike Bowling or grab a board game. Music at Champion’s runs the gamut, encouraging conversation rather than drowning it. Champion’s also has an outdoor deck and large backyard, including a large Flat Screen HD TV, a four square court, bags, and a large Connect 4.
Neighborhood hangout offering beers & sports on TV in a quaint tavern setting with a back patio.

What a fun place to see a show outside! It’s like a neighborhood backyard rather than a crowded venue. The staff was super nice to everyone around- everybody made me feel welcome! Tommy Stinson was a great show and Karla Rose played and supported beautifully! Just a great summertime event meeting tons of nice folks.

An under the radar East Side pub with an excellent patio area and very reasonable drink prices. I got a double Old Fashioned for $10 which feels very reasonable these days that was tasty and decently strong too.
We went there for one of the Milwaukey To The City events they host monthly on the bar’s patio and had an absolute blast! The event has a late night TV show format with three guests; one local business, one comedian and one band and its hosted by the excellent Sam Barone. If you get a chance to check one of these shows out I can’t recommend it enough!
I know this bar has a reputation for being a good place to catch a futbol match and with three TVs on the patio and decent space inside as well I can definitely see the appeal.

Champions is one of my favorite Milwaukee bars!! I love the big outside area – it’s perfect for gathering with friends plus they host fun events and Maker’s Markets. Highly recommend!

Stopped here during a dive bar tour and met with the owner. What a gem of a place to visit. Felt right at home and highly recommend going here. Felt right at home like a place back in or town of 4000 residents in northwest Ohio. Will definitely return. Cheers

Super great bar. First time going a couple weeks ago. My apologies, I cant remember the bartenders name, or much else for that matter, but it was a good time

Champions Pub holds a special place in my heart as the quintessential bar on the east side, discreetly nestled on North Bartlett Ave since my youth. Having been a part of my family’s history since the 1930s, the establishment has undergone a transformative journey under Bobby’s stewardship, solidifying its iconic status.
From the nostalgic Green Door to the inspiring Forrest Gregg portrait adorning the wall, and the cherished snapshot of the CHAMPION Family gracing the Family Feud, every corner exudes a sense of history and camaraderie. Undoubtedly, it stands as the premier neighborhood bar in Milwaukee, embodying a welcoming atmosphere that embraces everyone.
The recent expansion outdoors has remarkably broadened the pub’s horizons, providing a spacious setting to accommodate more neighbors and college students alike. There’s a charm in the air as you may find yourself fortunate enough to encounter Bobby himself tending the bar, occasionally joined by his family and their lovable canine companion.
Here’s to Bobby and the Champions Pub—a true gem in our community. Sláinte! I eagerly anticipate returning soon for another memorable visit.

The neighborhood bar. The kind of place where everybody knows your name—and apparently, your reputation, too.
I’ve been coming here on and off for a while. It’s got that cozy, local vibe, the owners are genuinely nice, and Al the bartender? Well, she was definitely two sheets to the wind last time I stopped by, which I guess adds to the ambiance. Who doesn’t love being told to leave by someone who can barely explain the rules of a dice game they’re aggressively not teaching? She literally walked away and started talking about my husband right in front of us. I mean come on… it’s obvious that she would never last at any place other than her safe haven where she has the ability to act like this towards a paying customer. It’s outrageous that she has a job In “customer service”
I know writing this review I’m really outing myself as I do live in the neighborhood and am going to feel uncomfortable but I feel I have to it was completely unjustified.
Anyway, I was sitting outside, when Al came storming out of the bar, hollering at me to leave. This wasn’t a calm, quiet conversation—it was a full-on public spectacle. I was told I had a “bad reputation,” which was news to me, but hey, I guess it’s easier to shout someone out than have a grown-up conversation.
The whole thing was sloppy and bizarre. If this was literally anywhere other than Wisconsin, she’d probably be fired on the spot. But hey—around here, I guess being drunk on the job and kicking out locals without reason is just part of the charm. Honestly, I left feeling pretty disgusted. The whole thing was messy and uncalled for.
Still, the owners are good people and clearly care about the place. It’s just the vibe that’s taken a nosedive. If you’re into unpredictable service, small-town politics, and the chance of being randomly exiled by someone mid-blackout, this is the spot for you. Cheers to low expectations and cold beer.

Champion’s is a neighborhood institution. If you’re looking for a bar with a great vibe and friendly cast of regulars, this place is it! Bobby is an excellent owner who truly cares for his staff and his patrons. This is also an awesome place to watch any sporting event – plenty of TV’s inside AND outside in their awesome backyard patio! Can’t say enough good things about this place. Cheers!

Denied me service after driving 30 minutes to visit their bar. I was completely sober and the bartender refused service after looking at my ID. I walked in and said nothing but “hello how are you”. I am 25 years old, I will we admit I do look young. Even after checking my ID ( I am 25 with a valid ID) they still told me I looked too young!! I have lived next to this bar for 4 years, I have never had an issue until I moved away! Have never had any issues there, this is a joke. Do not go here if you’re under age 55! Absolutely disgusted with with the male service!

Always a good time. Taking the covid seriously with goos precautions. I won’t do drinks inside these days but there fire pit situation outside is outstanding. Think they should do more to promote that and maybe prepare to add a few more chairs if word gets out
