My brother still has his 32 ounce plastic "Munster Cup" from O'Donoghue's on Wells. Jamie O'Donoghue has told me multiple times that he will honor it at his Elm Grove establishment - $1 for 32 ounces of Miller Lite.

Peggy's Black & Tan completely ignored. Why skip one of State Street's most revered watering holes?

Wasn't the Talk of the Town on Wells, but a bit longer of a walk? Ardmore, was that still open when this throwback was done?

How could I forget Peggy's Black & Tan? Isn't that where Goose85 took the lead on singing I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas in, shall we say, a very not white crowd?
I believe Talk of the Town was also on Wells.
Ardmore was still open - where the parking structure is now.
I also forgot Conway's.
What about the food places you can see in that video? Wales on Wells, Angleo's..."When March Madness spills into April.... that's the gravy!" - Homer Simpson

Real Chili and Amigos were a few from my day (and of course Real is still there).

Wells Street also had Kernan's which closed in 1980 (God bless Ma Kernan and her son Tommy, a ubiquitous Milwaukee bartending legend). Let us never forget Jim Hegarty's (a personal favorite when I needed to just sit down and put one together).

Goo - correct, I forgot about "Still Friends".
Gato - Didn't Kernan's become Hegarty's extension and then that became O'D's?"When March Madness spills into April.... that's the gravy!" - Homer Simpson

Best part of that video is when they talk about the Mugrack and say, "During the day students can take a break between classes and enjoy a cold one with classmates."
