- Men's Health MagNovember 17, 2011Bikers bring some of the best company around. That’s why a stop by this haven of hogs is always worth it. Pay your respects with a few sliders and a couple of pints—preferably Motor Oil beer.
Slynky CatMay 31, 2015Really nice atmosphere, good interior design. Great service and food is really good. Try the weekly special burgers and a Motor Oil beer, you won't regret it. Large portions. No wifi :(
Serious EatsAugust 27, 2013The most chic, upscale biker bar you’ve ever seen, connected to the Harley-Davidson Museum. Big specialty burgers and great rings.Upvoted Jan 11
Thomas JannaroneSeptember 23, 2011This restaurant is right across from the Harley Davidson Museum. It has great food and awesome decor. They serve huge portions of delicious food. There is also a bar in the restaurant.
Gail BurchardtSeptember 30, 2016Stuffed baked potato with BBQ pork was awesome. Everything looked hood, it was hard to decide.
Clarence SchreiberDecember 29, 2012Great food and awesome service. It is worth the money by eating here. Come and give it a try.
Kimbirly OrrOctober 4, 2011Bratwurst Mac N Cheese! I asked for a locals fab and it is worth the calories!! U R in Wisconsin. Eat the cheese!
Katie KempApril 1, 2012The view of downtown is beautiful at night as you are eating. Great first date spot ;)
Erica WrightMarch 30, 2013Was kind of disappointed they would not serve shots or drinks straight up as to avoid a "party crowd". It's called a BAR and restaurant. May need to re-evaluate things Motor. And there's my tip lol
Gotycki RosaMarch 1, 2013Whoever got soggy fish must have got a bad batch not doggy very yummy n crispy nom!
VISIT MilwaukeeJuly 5, 2011Scoot (or Motor!) in for their burger-of-the-month. Scarf it down, and burn off some energy playing shuffleboard.
Laura MJanuary 30, 2012Skip the Friday fish fry... too bad since a good fish fry & Harley's are a Milwaukee staple.
Tiffany DielsOctober 2, 2010Check with IronCupcake: Milwaukee - they hold events here almost every month. Get your food AND CUPCAKES!
Amanda TreptowApril 22, 2012Food great, but we have been sitting at the bar for 20 minutes and no one has asked us what we wanted
Burger of the month for July is the Cherry Bomb... get it with a Tru Evel beer!!!
Aaron WardApril 1, 2010The canal street slugger rocked! Only available during the month of April 2010.
Sarah LorberJanuary 19, 2014Overpriced drinks. Food was not good. Disappointing for a restaurant with the Harley name attached to it...
