"No bar crawl along Milwaukee is complete without a stop at Cole’s. In terms of drinks and atmosphere, it’s what you’d usually expect from a dive: solid draft list, cheap cocktails, a pool table, and a slight mustiness from a place that feels like it’s existed before the dawn of time (despite only being around since 2009.) But the real reason to come here is for the live music and events. There’s a weekly comedy open mic in the back, and bands often come through and perform free shows. If you care about being able to brag about seeing a band or comic before they made it big, there’s a good chance this will happen at Cole’s." - sarah freeman, john ringor
