BarNone

about an average bar as you will find in a cool above average neighborhood. This bar is small and simple with some drink specials but being a small place their drinks are limited. it is downtown though and in a walkable area near river.

Best bar on Water and more importantly the best bar tender. Amy is amazing and is worth the visit alone.

Best corner bar in the city of Milwaukee. If you are in town make sure to stop and say hi to Amy the owner probably one of the best around.

Amy is always amazing!

Our favorite bar on Water Street, which is notable, as we are not Water Street type folks. Amy and the rest of the crew at Bar None are more than a little bit of awesome, who know their drinks and are super fun.
It’s a hole in the wall, not huge, a little bit of divey, but comfortable and homey to me.

It was raining the last time I went there. Grumble! Grumble!
Actually, it’s always a good time at Bar None. I should go there right now.

The only bar on water street worth going to. Good people, fair prices, great drinks. Amy, the owner, is usually behind the bar and can make anyone instantly feel at home. If you’re in the mood to be bumped into by douchebags, ignored by the bartender, and over-​pay for under-​poured drinks, by all means head over to any other bar on water street. If you want a good, strong drink, poured by one of the best bartenders in Milwaukee, then definitely check out BarNone.
Oh, and if you love whiskey and/​or work in the service industry, you’ll fit right in.

Pretty gross dive bar. I was there tonight and the waitress actually tossed a die (by mistake) into my full glass of beer. I laughed it off, but she never offered another glass to I reluctantly drank it.
She then said that she would buy us all a round of shots, but when she brought them there was one for her and not one for me.
It’s somewhat of a neighborhood bar, but even for water street bars, it’s not great. Walk 100 ft. in some direction and get better service and better atmosphere

As far as bars on Water Street go, this has quickly become a new fav. It is small and usually only one bouncer and one bartender but you’ll feel at home. Music is good, never had a problem with good service and it’s easy to pull up to the bar or play a quick game of darts. I think this will become one of my new stops whenever I commit to a night on Water St.
If you’re looking for a place to chill, and either on your way up and out or a place to finish the night with good company and some sass, you should stop in and see for yourself. Can’t wait to become a regular!

Water Street. You either love it or you hate it. Personally, I fall into the latter category. If I were to witness Russell Crowe, Chris Brown, Dane Cook, Snooki and Charlie Sheen petitioning to outlaw handicap parking spaces, it would still be less douchey than many Water Street bars on a Saturday night.
That being said… BarNone is like a diamond in the rough. It’s a small, clean bar full of friendly people who are there to hang out and have a good time. No spray tans. No hooker heels. No dudes roaming around looking for a dancing female to randomly dry hump. Here you will find people you actually want to be around.
The bartenders have always been friendly and attentive and the owner is a sweetheart. The drinks are a good deal, too. I’m definitely a fan.

Bar None is in the location that previously held Grant’s Pub and Guitar Bar. Like Grants and Guitar Bar Bar None is still crammed between the much larger McGillycuddy’s and Juneau Ave. Unlike Grants or Guitar Bar Bar None has a glitzy neon sign in front and thus a rating of at least 3 stars in my book.
Bar None is still very cramped although the new owners put in new flooring and counters so for the moment it feels less like being crammed into the basement of a college frat party and more like being crammed into a party at a rented condo waiting for the housing market to rebound.
The night I was there the bartender said the owners were from Madison and her previous bartending experience was in Madison so maybe this will be the spot to watch Badger away games if you want less of a sports bar feel then the Buffalo Wild Wings a half-​block away.
