We happened to just come across O’Lydia’s on our way back from a brewery tour. We weren’t sure what to expect as the interior is not as modernized as other businesses. However, the craft beer selection was great and the food was even better. I ordered the Nashville Hot chicken sandwich and it has to be one of the best sandwiches I have ever had! It was piping hot, the flavor profile was impeccable, and the house made chips were delicious. My husband had a Hangover Burger which looked great, and the crispy fries were amazing! We’re from Chicago, but we will be back!
The best fish fry in the city, IMO. The fish is perfectly battered with a lot to bite. This is not a thin cut at all, and it's juicy and delicious.
The clam chowder was just as good. Great service. There is a shuttle bus to Brewers games for free.
If you're sitting near the patio, you're going to hear the loud screeching from the train passing by right above.
Best place for a Brewers Game shuttle! A bartender at the Copper Turtle said this was her favorite place to catch a game shuttle. It didn't disappoint! Enjoyed a Friday Fish fry and some beer and cheese curds, then grabbed an ol' fashion for the road and jumped on the second shuttle. Bus was clean and driver did a good job. After the game, driver was waiting right up front with a larger bus to bring us back. It worked out very well. If I was a local, you'd find me here often. Great little place that offers both indoor and outdoor seating.
We visited after a concert and the service was amazing! We weren’t even seated for more than 2 minutes and our waitress was there taking our drink orders. She was quick to grab our drinks and take our order! The food came out and it was the best food I’ve had at a restaurant in a long time! My husband had the chicken sandwich and I had the turkey pesto melt… SO GOOD! Highly recommend!!! Plus, they have a late night menu and serve until 1am! It’s had to find places that make food much less great food after 10pm!
O'Lydia's is an awesome Irish Bar. Always great bar food. Decent prices and big portions. A big menu with a lot of options. I've never had a bad meal here. Also a great location, just south of Downtown MKE and the Milwaukee River on 1st St, on the edge of Walker's Point. Shuttles to sports and big events. Pictured is the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and the Triple B Burger (Bacon, blue cheese, Buffalo). The Triple B is awesome and the wings are great. I went back and got the Hangover Burger which was awesome also.
We went here for a quick lunch on our moving day. Marcia was nice and attentive. The salads are huge, and I love that they’re served in a bowl. My dad had the fried chicken sandwich, tossed in buffalo. He said it was one of the best he has ever had! They put raw mushrooms in their side salad, which is kind of unusual, but I love mushrooms so I enjoyed it. There’s lots of space and a variety of seating options. We must have sat close to the kitchen where they wash dishes because we heard plates clank around quite a bit, a little loud for the time of day we went. Overall, great experience and I plan to go regularly.
Excellent tap room, plenty styles of beers. Prices are really good and good was delicious. It’s really a must to lunch and grab a quality pint.
Great Irish bar with delicious food, friendly staff, and lots of quality drink options.
I love that they have a shuttle to and from Summerfest!
Recommend trying the fish fry and Reuben but I know I’ve had other things I’ve enjoyed as well!
Great food, wing night is amazing. Nice sized, great flavor, many variations of seasoning or sauces (Spicy Pineapple were amazing). Nice bev selection as well. We’ll definitely be back to O’Lydia’s.
We were there before a Golf Outing we were attending. The Food was Delicious. Our Server was AWESOME. We had 13 people so they opened the back area so we could all be together. 😁😁😁 We also, rode the shuttle to the Golf Course and Elizabeth was our driver. GREAT SERVICE in all areas!!!! 100% Recommend this for everyone!! 💚💚
