The Jock Stop

This place is pretty weird. I don’t get out this direction much and I don’t think I will any time soon.
I went to a party the bar donated to my organization. Which was awesome that they do that! Yay donations!
We were told there would be beer and pizza. I’m not a fan of beer but the others seemed to be happy with the alcohol situation. Really where the disappointment starts is the pizza. They had small pizzas they made themselves which took a long time. The other problem is they only had 2 kinds: pepperoni, and meat supreme. I don’t eat either of those. They didn’t have a single cheese or vegetarian pizza in the entire place. So that was a bust. We happened to be the only people in there on a Monday. I don’t want to see this place on a busy night. I would get very claustrophobic in the tiny hallway that is the bar. They have a pool table and pinball machines and darts which seem to take up all the floor space so not much room to stand, sit, or chat.
Overall not my cup of tea but I can see the desire for locals who just want a chill place to grab a PBR

This bar racially profiles they treat their customers like trash. The bar tender was rude and made the group I was with feel uncomfortable. This bar has bad customer service

Stopped in here again with a friend on a whim to meet other friends. I met some pretty fantastic people here. The manager Trixie was warm and inviting towards her customers. Not to mention accommodating. When I ordered a Kettle One and seltzer she could have said no. But instead she decided to scale the cooler to get the bottle off one of the top shelves injuring herself in the process. But I never knew until I was told later. :(Sorry about that. However, it’s a good place and I thought it needed another star based on my most recent visit for service alone.

So… I *may* have spent what I thought would by my last day on earth (Damn you Mayans) at the Jock Stop. I wasn’t informed there was a costume contest (Read: Ladies in lingerie, fellas in hazmat suits), so imagine my surprise. Imagine it people… West Allis + Lingerie= Fantastic.
Things overheard at the Jock Stop include:
«Lime? Let me check if the limes are moldy.»
«Don’t sit there, the ceiling is leaking. Actually, sit over there and hold this bucket.»
«Psssst…If you use the big stall look at the wall and tell me if it reminds you of me.»
«Jello Shoooooooots»
«Punch me. Punch me in the face.»
You get the picture. Seriously though, some of the sweetest regulars and overall good hearted people I’ve meet in the ‘Stallis. Cheap drinks, friendly bartenders. Craptastic… But, sometimes I’m into crap.

It was an all Stallis weekend my friends. After hitting up a Friday fish fry at The Painted Parrot, we ventured down a block to The Jock Stop. Upon arrival the bartender informed us that all double mixers are $ 2 (Friday special, but it appears most nights have a special that will allow you to pass out with a $ 20 bill including tip). I wouldn’t say the three $ 2 drinks I had were the best ever, but for $ 2 I had no complaints. The bartender was the only one working, but he was very attentive and remembered everybody’s drinks when they were ready for a refill (Truly a refill… make sure you bring your glass back).
For those of you in the area looking for a affordable drink I would suggest you stop in… for those of you looking for a place to download brownware, I would suggest finding a different location with a stall door.

This was the last stop as the 81^st Street Pub Crawl expanded to include The Jock Stop since it was on the way to Pegasus Restaurant. It was 2:15 so we weren’t expecting to get served, but we talked the bartender into a couple of pitchers for our mid-​size group.
The bartender was personable. Didn’t get much of a look at the place but it seemed like it was a nice place. It was a great place for our nightcap.
