Red Lion Pub

A beloved Riverwest corner dive bar that shows English soccer every Saturday morning alongside cheap pints, pinball machines, and some of the best free live music in Milwaukee. Named after Bremen, Germany, the cafe sells liter steins at discount prices -- one of only a few non-German bars in town to do so. Originally opened as a cafe in 2004, it evolved into a neighborhood institution where the soccer crowd arrives in the morning and the music crowd takes over at night.

Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund, and Manchester City fans are also regulars. Famous for its enormous Bloody Marys served with half a grilled cheese, free morning soup, and a magic coffee ritual. The bar gets loud before noon on match days.
