West Allis

West Allis grew up around Allis-Chalmers, once one of the world's largest manufacturers of heavy farm and industrial equipment, and today it's also home to the Wisconsin State Fair Park. That working-class heritage shows up in a real bar scene - BarFinder lists 96 venues, one of the largest totals among Milwaukee's suburbs, led by classic bars, sports bars, and a notable dive-bar presence. Local names like Jim Henry's Oval Bar, Flappers, and Still & Oak (a Great Lakes Distillery tasting room) reflect a scene with real depth and variety.
