The Wicked Hop might just be the perfect spot for a Third Ward happy hour. In the warm months, there's plenty of outdoor seating under the huge metal awning and plenty of people-watching, yet, at 345 N. Broadway, it's enough off the trodden path of Water Street to still feel calm and relaxing after a long day at the office.

The prices ain't bad, either. Happy hour, Monday through Thursday, from 3 to 7 p.m., features $1 off all beer, rail mixed drinks and $5 glasses of wine.

So, what else makes this bar a winner? According to OnMilwaukee.com food writer Amy Schubert, "It's the animated, lively staff, the cocktails, the seemingly omnipotent televisions airing hot sporting events, and a who's who of Third Wardians, who seem to know everyone else's name."

Plus, have you had a Bloody Mary there? They come packed like a meal -- beef stick, shrimp, blue cheese stuffed green olive, marinated mushroom and piles of mozzarella cheese that took the shape of thick Japanese noodles. Not a bad deal for $6.

With a vast menu of both pub food and upscale items, it's a nice place to grab a meal on the weekends, and with the help of the adjoining Jackalope Lounj, it's good for some live music, as well.
