Kokopelli's Pub Grub - Milwaukee

A charming burger tavern with a relaxed atmosphere. The venue feels cozy and offers private rooms that can be rented for gatherings. Although it has limited windows, it features a good selection of local beers on tap and in bottles. While it may have a dive-bar vibe, it's a great spot for locals and residents of Milwaukie to unwind. Plus, there are several nearby bars within walking distance for those looking to enjoy more drinks.

I absolutely love this place! It has a charmingly divey and unpretentious vibe, which I really appreciate. The food is simply outstanding. We’ve visited multiple times—first for a beer and burger (I had the Ragin’ Cajun and the Black and Blue, and both were incredible), and then for the Fish Fry. In addition to the traditional cod, they offer perch, walleye, and grouper, all cooked to perfection. The grouper comes with a delicious potato medley, a mix of potatoes and vegetables that quickly became my favorite. Each Fish Fry dinner also includes a choice of soup or salad. I intend to try everything on the menu eventually! The staff is very friendly, and they even allow dogs on the patio.

I forgot to mention that if you connect with them on Facebook, they frequently share current specials. For example, you can show a specific post to the bartender and get half off a pitcher of beer. They also use their Facebook page to keep customers updated on menu additions and special offers.

This place has awesome food! i was totally surprised the mushrooms were some of the best i have ever had and the gutgers are the bomb

I didn't know when I walked into this West Allis dive bar for a burger that they were voted best burger, #7 of 57 on the 2016 list. Well it's not #1 but 7 out of 57 is not bad so it's up on the list. They are known for the stuffed burgers by the way. The place is a total West Allis dive so I didn't know I was getting into, I will post pictures. The place is small with a bar shaped like a check mark and some high tables and chairs opposite of the bar. Flat screens on every wall with a pool table in back and an ATM inside. Looks like they have fresh popcorn because there is a machine in the coroner. I got there at opening and there was only two people at the bar who were nice to me as a non regular. I sat at the high table as you walk in and tried to read the menu but it was so dim I had to move to the bar to read it better because it had overheard lights. I didn't want to eat at the bar and since my table was so dim I got take out because my pictures would have been poor quality. The woman behind the bar took my order which was the All American and asked how did I want it cooked and I told her I like my burgers rare but I understand the concept of the burger and I could not get it rare, she said she understood and agreed but she said she would get it close and still melt the cheese in the middle. She said she only uses fresh Angus beef and hand forms the patty so no patties lay around and assured me that I would like it. The All American is a half pound burger with American cheese stuffed in the middle with lettuce, onion and tomato. The burger was good and she did a great job at cooking the beef because it was like medium and the cheese center was melted. The onions were red which was a nice touch. The bun was nicely toasted and the good soft one, not the dry dense hard kind. It came with tatter tots which were you're standard frozen and unseasoned. Overall for a West Allis dive bar they are definitely doing burgers different from most places. I liked that she understood how I like my burgers and how she cooked it as close to my liking with out compromising there style of burger, some places just give you lip service and cook the meat to well. It's nice to have a dive bar doing everything good on a first experience and making a great first impression.
