I voted yes.

And boycotting a place because they hosted a UW event is not only lame, it's evidence of the little brother thinking that we claim not to engage in.

Am I being too picky to find it funny it’s a guy in a Bucks jersey in the picture?

MECCA is bad for so many reasons and the UW thing is just a starter.

1) Incredibly thin menu...one hamburger offering (Buck Bradley's has 5 plus build your own)
2) No TV offering...I would be surprised if they have more than 2 maybe 3 cable inputs. For a "sports bar" they are very good at putting one game on every TV .  Goolsbys has 8+ different games on.
3) Staffing is in issue You can tell its owned by the Bucks.  The bartenders aren't bartenders, the servers aren't servers.  They have no service industry expereince. 
4) Crowd control --- they hate you standing in the bar drinking.  They want everyone seated.  Sorry, I thought this was a bar.

It’s in a different area, but I find Sport Club to be my go to Sports Bar in Milwaukee. Good food and drink options and we’ve always had good service.

I cannot imagine having to choose between MECCA and Goolsby's to eat before the game.

Goolsbys can be a touch closer to fast food than you want on a night out but it’s paired  with an incredible amount of TVs + it’s a Milwaukee sports museum. 

If you can get past that you’re basically eating Culver’s, it has some excellence to it.

Agreed on Sport Club.  It's run by the Nomad, and it's well run.  I've watched a few of the Bucks playoff games there in in '21 and it was great.  Haven't watched an MU game there yet.
