Great "townie" bar! You have to try the Friday fish fry. So crispy and a portion big enough for two people. Sometimes we order an extra piece if we are especially hungry. Today I tried the nachos, half order. Yum! And on Wednesdays the apps are half price. So my happy hour cocktails and app came to a whopping $8.50. Nice. I'll go back to listening to the music and kicking butt in NTN trivia. But seriously, you have to stop by soon.

Great food. Great staff. Great prices. My go to place in tosa. Never disappointed. Get the Pizza on the weekends!
(5)Al B.
One of the best, if not the best neighborhood dive bar in the Tosa area. Very friendly and attentive staff. You simply can't beat the half price pizza deal on Saturdays & Sundays.
(4)Anne H.
This classy bar has kobe beef burgers! But i have never got one, i usually go with the pizza. Unassuming bar in a great little wisconsin town.
(4)Dallas W.
Your typical dive bar, with good pizza, good service, and good drinks. No complaints! A tosa staple.

I was threatened by the staff to stop cheering for the Packers to stop cheering or close out my tab and leave. Really?
(1)Kelly D.
Cold beers. Good music. The dive bar of Wauwatosa. Enjoy folks - this place is a gem.
(4)Alex P.
Bartender always takes care of my buddies and I after we get off work and stop in. Great service goes both ways between our businesses. Food is relatively creative for being a bar and I've had no problems getting a table during busier hours.

We went recently for $0.35 chicken wings. The wings were very good. They had mild, medium, and hot, and all of them came with a tomato based sauce. The hots are deceiving, because they had less sauce then the rest. Regardless, they were hot, but not ridiculous. We sat in a back booth with a larger than average group, and our servers (must have got them mid-shift) were both nice. One cool thing: I ordered a tap that the server told me about. She came back, and told me that they no longer had that beer on tap. She brought me a different kind of beer from the same company, and she didn't even charge me for it. Along with the wings, we ordered the fries, which were outstanding. I like the place, and I like the atmosphere. There is a lot of really cool, really old sports memorabilia. It would be nice to see them clean a lot of that stuff up, and really display it in a way that people can appreciate it. I think this place is divey in just the right sort of way. I will be back for some wings!

Very disappointed in the service and price of the food! My girlfriend and I walked in for the Friday night fish fry and not one person said hello to us! We then sat at a table for a good 15 minutes before anyone came to take an order. Once we got our cokes the soda was as flat at paper and tastes unlike anything I have had before. The waitress was very slow and didn't have a personality to match either. I have been In the food industry for a good while and this was horrible! Plus 4.50 for a salad at a dive bar??? Uumm yeah no! If you like slow service tons of cigarette smoke and over priced salads then this is for you. If not save the time and money!!

I'm writing a review of Colonel Hart's because Yelp won't stop asking me to. Lived near the CH for about 2 years before moving this summer. I've been there quite a few times and had mixed experiences. (I even smoked my last legal indoor cigarette there last year, just out of spite for the new smoking ban in bars -- which I secretly love anyway). Hart's has nice outdoor seating, but it could have more space which would be nice. I did get berated by a cocktail waitress once and that was kind of an ugly situation. Our group spent about $250 on beer (and for Hart's, that's probably the sale of the century) and I jokingly said to the server, "the next round's on you, right?" and everyone was laughing and having a good time until she freaked the hell out -- literally screamed at me because that was the "worst sin" I could have committed in a bar. 30 years old, who knew? The whole thing was awkward for everyone within a fifty foot radius. For the record, the bartenders have always been more than generous and that waitress I never saw again, so I'll assume that was an isolated incident. Harts gets 4 stars for being Harts. It's like the divest dive bar in the area but a much welcomed alternative to the db's that frequent Leff's after Brewers games in the summer. Will I ever go back now that I don't live near there? Probably not. But I will remember the fond memories of stumbling the half mile home during my rowdier days...Ah, Harts...

Lived 3 blocks away most of my life, only recently started going, great idea. Great place to grab a drink and catch up with friends or make new ones at an incredibly reasonable price. No mess, no fuss. It's the neighborhood bar you and your neighbors go to. Agree with previous posts -- leave the fancy clothes at home. Your "I'm a normal human being" jeans will do just fine. Simple, well done, fun.
(5)Mary S.
Fun place to go. The wait staff are a real hit or miss. Sometimes they are happy most times they walk by you like you aren't even there. Takes forever to get a drink!
(2)Jon H.
I've only been here once, but the beer was cheap and the wings were SPICY and BIG (which in my book constitutes good)! The wings had good flavor and, I have to admit, I was impressed. It's nothing fancy by any means, but it's a good place to get beer and wings.
(4)Mike K.
I heart Hart's...it's my local watering hole. A new patio and facade on the front of the building give this dive bar a touch of class, and the wood paneled inside reminds me of a long lost uncle's basement. Great specials, 1/2 price pizza and wings are my favorites. Nice selection of local brew and plenty of spirits to go around. leave your heels and popped collars downtown peeps - this is not the establishment for you to have a dance party in or practice looking like you're from Jersey Shore. You will however get very drunk and your wallet will thank you. Also, watch out for Vandenberg. You'll know if/when you see.
(5)Markel P.
Great neighborhood bar and grill. The Happy Hour is awesome. $1 mugs you can't go wrong. Pizza is also really good here and they serve it pretty much all night.
(4)Colin A.
This was our second stop on a recent bar crawl tour and I have to say I left impressed. Solid 'Tosa bar with a power hour (2 for 1 beers) on the occasional evening. Other reviewers have mentioned it, but Leff's has the better "dive bar" vibe...however, the Colonel boasts a, dare I say it, quieter (less crazy) setting. We sat out on the patio and enjoyed a midsummer evening as well as the friendly bar staff whenever we retreated inside for refills. This is just a small representation of bar life in 'Tosa for those that want something a bit more subdued than Leff's -- and that's not an indictment on the latter; sometimes you just need some place a little quieter!
(3)Jennifer R.
My husband and I stopped in here recently with some friends who are regulars. We had a very nice experience. The bartender was pleasant and made sure we were taken care of. They have a lovely outdoor patio that is nice for a warm summer evening. I would definitely recommend coming in here on a Sunday night if you aren't a big fan of crowds. The atmosphere on a Sunday night is pretty laid back. I highly recommend their pizzas.They are freshly made and they are amazing! Even better: they are half price on Sundays (another reason to come in then). If you are a trivia buff, they have trivia on Sunday nights also. I would love to make another trip out here in the future.
(4)Kelly S.
If I chose a bar to be a regular at, this would be it. Great bar food for a great price! Must try their taco Monday, Fish Fry and the weekend half off pizza! Friendly place, good people, true neighborhood bar!
(4)George T.
Ok it's been a while since my last review and confession. I like this place. They have check in specials from Foursquare and Belly. and Yelp. It's small, local, with great happy hour and people here are friendly. They have a Jukebox. a great selection of beers and Bartenders are quick on the spot. Two dart boards near the back door. And Pizza is made to order and some of the best I've had in Milwaukee. F 5 A 4 S 4 L 3 V 4 43/ 2014

Colonel Hart's needs to step up their dive-bar game. Because Leff's is right next door. And having been in both of them in a drunken, beer soaked haze, I prefer Leff's. It took forever to get a drink, and they weren't made too well once we finally got them. The bartender recommended something fruity for a friend. It tasted like cough syrup. If a bunch of friends insist going to Colonel Hart's, suggest Leff's instead. If they say no, go along and you'll be fine. But otherwise go to Leff's.
(3)Phillip M.
Is there such a thing as an upscale dive bar? If so, this is it! This place is great!! The bar, the atmosphere, the jukebox. I rate the food as great bar grubbage. The wings were good and they would be much higher rated if they'd not been overcooked and masked by a pretty awesome house sauce. Nonetheless I'm giving the kitchen a pass on this one as I have high hopes for this place's wings and I'm of the attitude that maybe it was an off night. Next time I'm definitely ordering a pizza as I watched dozens of them pass by my me smelling of crusty pizza goodness. This is a great bar to get out of the house or away from the office for happy hour. I look forward to watching some sports on of the dozen Tv's.
(4)Donnie R.
We have been here once, and I was pleasantly surprised. I probably would have not stopped here, but if not for our friends that are somewhat of regulars. They have a nice atmosphere, and overall moderate noise level. The bartender was pleasant and very prompt. If you like pizza, they offer freshly made pizzas. Just a hint, they are half price on Sunday's. I will definitely stop in again if in the area.
(4)Mark P.
My favorite place for beer, pizza & trivia on Sunday late night. Colonel Hart's offers different specials all week long, Sunday is $2 buck Mickey's & half price pizza. The fresh made pizzas are phenomenal ( for $6 bucks ) & come with your choice of toppings. The crust is on the thinner side. But, satisfying & tasty . Thursday is another good night to go for the wing special. The wings are awesome & come in a variety of flavors. Drinks are priced fairly & the selection is vast. Two dart boards in the rear & NTN Buzztime trivia to test your knowledge. Approximately 20 spots in the parking lot & plenty of street parking. The décor is dated but eclectic.
(4)Laura K.
The food is good for the price but there are so many choices in the area that serve better food and have a better dining experience. Staff is pleasant but not overly friendly. And the bathroom is gross. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees.

Come and knock on my door, we'll be waiting for you.... We stopped here recently for lunch. My husband won a gift certificate in a raffle and we decided to give it a shot. Upon stepping into this place, the thought crossed my mind this was a bar that was "stuck in the 70's." Visions of "Three's Company" danced through my head. I thought for a brief second I mistakenly set foot in the Regal Beagle. I think I saw Mr. Roper wearing a blue leisure suit, hanging out at the corner of the bar with Jack, Chrissy, Janet, and most importantly - Larry. This seems to be a "Larry" kind of bar. It didn't surprise me, considering the clientele for this particular day seemed to be out of that age bracket. Back in the day, I'm sure the same people that were there on Saturday used to hang out with their polyester shirts hanging open to expose all possible chest hair, and their gold chains-a blingin'. Wood paneling, multicolored hanging pendant table lamps ala 1977, creepy ladies room.... yep, got it. It seemed quite busy for a Saturday - and they had ONE guy working. When the bartender actually came by, we ordered our drinks. We waited another 20 minutes to get them, and then we were able to order. When our order finally got out (and let me stress the word "finally") to our table, it wasn't anything to write home about. I got a grilled chicken sandwich, which was served on a limp bun...not much more to elaborate on that. Yikes. It was pretty disappointing. The fries looked pretty gross, but since I can't eat fries, it didn't really matter. They did not offer any substitutions for fries on the side so I got stuck with just my sandwich. I don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon. It was just kind of "meh."

Went here last Thursday night on 'wing night'. On their website it advertises 35 cent wings on Thursday night, but in the restaurant on their menu it actually says 45 cents on Thursday. Service left quite a bit to be desired. There was quite a large group near us and the waitress was obviously flustered by them and even made comments to our group. Everyone but me got the wings. I got a chicken caesar salad. We waited about 2 hours for our food (to be fair, the waitress warned us the kitchen was backed up). The salad was quite small, it was in a small dish and then put on a bigger plate (to make it seem bigger?). It was fine. Nothing special. It was pretty much just an average salad, but the size really makes it not worth the value. Three of the individuals I was with got the hot wings. I can't speak to the taste, but I can tell you they did not look appetizing (and those who ate them said they also did not taste good). Overall a very mediocre dinner. Add that to the combination of mediocre service and this place gets 2 stars.

Went on a Monday with a group of friends and there was plenty of seating, plenty of staff and the kitchen was smelling wonderful. Prices are decent and staff was nice. I would definitely return.
(4)Catherine G.
Thursday is the day to go to Colonel Hart's. The buffalo wings are off the hook -- and on Thursdays they are 35 cent each! Go before 6 and Miller lites are $1. Can't really beat that... Caution - the mild wings are preeettty spicy. Don't get medium or hot if you are a spice wimp like me. Most of the bartenders are nice (including Jared) but some are not. Oh well. Also I wish I could get carry out on the wings but they don't do that :(
(4)Brian M.
It took 40 years and a sh*t-load of beer to get me in this place, and it will take the same to ever get me back. We stopped in here last Saturday for "one for the road". Now I know what I was missing. The place was packed with people having a good time, so for that, they get a couple of stars. This place just isn't for me. It smelled of cheap cologne, glitter perfume, and desperation. It looked like a place where you should probably drink your natty-ice directly from the bottle and use the pull down toilet seat covers to cover the stall floor when you are on your knees hunched over the porcelin throne extricating the 12 shots of Sex on the Beach and Jeager bombs from your upper GI tract. If this sounds like your kind of place and you're in the Tosa area, then come on down! If not, trek about 100 yard east and go to Leff's.
(2)Joanna T.
I think I picked the wrong time to make a date with the Colonel (around 11pm on Saturday) - yech! Don't be fooled by the exterior renovations, it's still a total dump (ala basement rec room) inside. The place was packed solid with bro's, ho's and a fair number of creepers. And, it smelled like Chuck E Cheese pizza with an undertone of BO and Axe Body Spray. Sort of like Milwaukee 's version of the Jersey Shore all came in at once and ordered shitty pizza. It's not my jam, but it might be less horrifying on a weeknight.
(2)Amy H.
In Chicago I am constantly being dragged to dive bars by my friends. They like them for some reason and are always in search of the latest and greatest dive bar. In Milwaukee they don't call them "dive bars", they just call them bars. And Colonel Hart's is one of those bars. I was here for some cocktails with my former classmates over the weekend and I enjoyed myself. The inside is kind of dumpy, but it's got that Wisconsin charm. Our bartender was really nice and at the end of the night (and after quite a few beers) my tab was only $12.75. That's amazing.
(4)Gregory H.
My friends and I call it Colonel Lonely Hart's, sort of mashing it up with the title of the Beatle's album. It's An enjoyable, laid back place to talk with friends, or catch a NBA playoff game. Colonel Hart's helps to create a corner bar facet to the Tosa Village nightlife. It consistently smells like frozen pizzas cooking and has a great jukebox. Tap pitchers are reasonable and their are pretty good specials, I remember a Tecate one specifically(Thursday nights maybe?) As far as a date place, it's a good one-two punch pairing with Cafe Hollander across the street. If a date is going super well stay at Cafe Hollander and enjoy the more expensive drink list. If it's not going so well, meander over to Colonel Hart's, maybe the somewhat vast change in setting will help spark something. And if it doesn't, at least it won't vastly change the weight of your wallet.

Lunch Time Review I've been to Colonel Hart's specifically during the day for lunch. I was told they have a good burger and I can safely say they do. If you hate reading I would give it a straight 3. Now onto the breakdown. Colonel Hart's is an odd recommendation as I got it from someone I always associated with higher end restaurants. This could be safely classified as a casual/divey bar in Tosa. They have good customer service from my personal experience. I've been here a number of times and have never been disappointed. Have you ever read my Stack'd Review? The time we walked out we came to Colonel Harts. Why? They are two completely different joints. This isn't a gourmet burger here. But that doesn't stop it from being good. They advertize a Kobe option and those of you reading my reviews know what is coming next ( forbes.com/sites/larryol… ). I am sure the price should make you ask "How is this a Kobe Burger?" at $7.75 That said it is usually cooked to order. Mediums have been medium and done's have been done. I do have a friend that reported an error in what he was served but that must have been an isolated incident. When grabbing a side you should really stick with the chive fries. The combined items are on the greasier side and have that tendency to slow you down. It's hard to describe what you are getting here. It's a step up from fast food options that's for sure but it's not in the same category with burgers that would be considered top tier. Somewhere in that chasm of inbetween is where you find this burger. For the price it's not bad. They do a good job and over all you are getting a tasty burger. If you are on the look out for a different burger I would recommend this to add to your list. If you are solely looking for a gourmet burger or a higher end burger then look elsewhere. It's a regular bar with slightly better then average burgers. Not good enough to merit the 4 star. Other food items have been listed as acceptable when I've discussed with other people. It was always a "good" and I never had anyone tell me "Great" "awesome" or anything like that. The pizza appears to be average bar style pizza and nothing to comment on for the pizza list. Probably worthy of a 3 star. If you are in the area and want a good burger then you can get that here at acceptable prices in a "come as you are" type atmosphere. Joints like these are nice to have if you are in the area. The crowd has been younger during the day and I cannot comment on the nightlife. Perhaps stick to other reviews for that.

I never liked this place until I moved to the Tosa area. Even though it's huge, this is very much a regular bar. Everyone inside knows one another. Decent bar food and good specials on pizza, fish fry, etc.
(3)Jason L.
Local bar to Tosa Village. Some of the best wings and homemade pizza around (yes, this bar makes their own pizza!). I actually thought twice about writing a good review because its a total hidden gem ;) Super friendly bartenders that will take care of you and buy a round. It is a smoky bar but come July 1 it will be more enjoyable. Recent renovations to the front and patio area make this even better.
(5)Steve G.
I love the wings here and they're easily the best wings in town! They taste perfect and are 35 cents each on Thursdays. This is a townie sports bar with a personable wait staff that are always friendly. Give these wings a shot and you won't regret it!
(5)Leigh A.
Local Tosa sports bar where you can be yourself. This is our version of Cheers. Lots of seating, outdoor seating in summer. Great drink specials. Cheap, tasty food that can be eaten there are carried out. Fast, friendly service.
