I've been crying myself to sleep over the thought.

Champs (Moorland Rd) across from Brookfield Square is a good place to watch a game...

Drinks and food are reasonable, plus, at halftime you can play some sweet arcade games.

That's as close to Waukesha as I get.

Drive downtown and go to the annex, not sure how the crowd will be since its a weekday game during break, but that would be better than staying in Waukesha.

Good God I feel for you. I had to spend my youth in Waukesha. You might want to try Club 400 or Mulligans downtown as those are about the most normal bars you can find out that way.

Mulligans, classic.

Yep. Waukesha is as abysmal as I thought. Tomorrow night is a MKE night.

Will he carry the game tomorrow?

Probably, but don't know for sure - I'm in ATL and don't have his number. Look'em up, ask for Jeff and tell him Romey said to put the game on! I was just there at Christmas.

I've known the owners of the Nice Ash since I was 5. Great people. There's a killer ventillation system in there too so you come out of a cigar bar smelling less like smoke than you would at a non-cigar bar.

Champps is alright, usually crowded at 6:30 with all those needing a drink after work. Not sure if they'd keep the sound on for the Marquette game or switch over to the Wisconsin game, but they have been pretty pro-marquette in the past.

Nice Ash is a great place.

You also might have luck at People's Park right next door at the corner of Clinton and Main. New place, they've got two nice tvs at the bar, not sure if they'd want to put the sound on though. Same owners as Taylors, great beer on tap (Hofbrau Dunkel) and Hoegaarden in the fridge.

The small area of downtown Waukesha has changed quite a bit in the past year with a new Sushi place, two new nice non-smoking food and drink places (Generations? and People's Park), the House Of Guiness went non-smoking, new restaurant on South Street (Ray's on South), and get this... a 5 star hotel.
