This Milwaukee Bar Is a Total “Mullet” Experience
Have you ever been to the 4th Base Bar and Grill in Milwaukee, Wisconsin? I just learned about this place today, and it’s definitely a place I need to experience this summer!
Milwaukee’s Mullet Bar
As a lifelong Illinois girl who comes from a family of Chicago Cubs fans, I feel legally obligated to side-eye anything related to Milwaukee and baseball. However, for 4th Base Bar and Grill, I am willing to make an exception.
Google Street View
From the outside, the 4th Base Bar and Grill may look like your average sports/dive bar, but a truly unique dining experience awaits you inside.
4th Base Bar and Grill is often referred to as Milwaukee’s mullet bar, because it’s the best way to describe it: Sports bar in the front, fancy steakhouse in the back.
Please allow me to explain.
What Makes 4th Base Bar and Grill Unique
At 4th Base Bar and Grill, there is no menu.
Instead, there is a full deli case in the back where you walk up and choose what you want to eat, and then the chef whips up a fabulous meal with it.
We’re talking filet mignon, king crab, scallops… the kind of dinner you’d expect somewhere with white tablecloths and waiters wearing bowties… not next to a guy in a Brewers jersey yelling at the TV.
Fun Fact About 4th Base Bar and Grill
Another thing that makes 4th Base stand out is this:
Not only has it been around since the late 1970s, but the bar also had a cameo in the baseball movie Major League released in 1989!
Does this look familiar?
The next time you venture north to Milwaukee, be sure to give 4th Base a try… and maybe leave your Cubs jersey at home.
