"Whether you’re just grabbing a beer after a show at Cafe Mustache or you’ve got your all-night dancing shoes on, a night out on this strip of Milwaukee will probably include a stop at Cole’s. It’s unpretentious and occasionally sweaty, serves reasonably priced drinks, and attracts people from across the city. There’s a weekly comedy open mic in the back, and bands often come through for free shows. If you’re looking to see a band or comic who will eventually blow up and leave Chicago behind for some unthinkable reason, there’s a good chance you can do it at Cole’s." - josh barnett, sam faye, john ringor
