If you find yourself in the city of West Allis, you don’t have to stumble around too much before you find a bar, from classic taverns like Cap’n Nick’s to the state-of-the-art Westallion Brewing Company.

With so many options, it’s becoming increasingly more difficult to stereotype "Stallis." The changing demographic of residents and the ever-growing entertainment options are morphing it into a less predictable part of the area.

Here are many of the West Allis drinking spots. If you're headed out, please double check to see how particular places have adapted to the pandemic and follow their COVID protocols accordingly. Be safe, be considerate – and cheers!
