decent beer and food. we were in town to get out of minneapolis for a long weekend and checkout the local brewing scene and rock bottom just happened to be 2 blocks from our hotel.
nice location right on the river (it was early spring so the outdoor seating wasn't setup but it would have allowed for a very nice atmosphere to enjoy a couple beers and some food). indoors it was like any other rock bottom. bf off to one side, dining area separated from the bar area.
food is the same at all rock bottom locations (as is the decor) so if you've been to one you've been to them all. typical burger and fries, steaks, a little seafood, some pasta, and pizzas. most is pretty good and the prices aren't bad.
the beer features 5 full-time beers and rotating seasonals (usually 1 or 2 seasonals on at a time). at the time they only had one seasonal that didn't have much to offer. some of the rock bottom locations offer beers by the same name as other locations (maybe to save the corporation some $$ on copyrighting multiple names). although the feature the same name they are totally different beers. erik the red is also served at the minneapolis location but the minneapolis version is much maltier with a much tastier final result. nothing impressive beer wise here in milwaukee.
should note that if you enjoy rock bottom you should sign up for the free mug club. you get a .5 liter glass instead of a pint and earn free prizes. much better then the lame club at old chicago (also owned by rock bottom).
overall rock bottom isn't a bad place to go for a couple beers and a meal but there are better brewpubs in town that exceed it by far.
