Men's Health Mag

Bikers 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 Cat

Really 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 Eats

The most chic , upscale biker bar you’ve ever seen, connected to the Harley-Davidson Museum . Big specialty burgers and great rings.

Thomas Jannarone

This 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 .

Yesma Hajile

Great food/service, Leines vanilla porter is great!

Erica Wright

Was 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

Yesma Hajile

Scoot (or Motor!) in for their burger-of-the-month. Scarf it down, and burn off some energy playing shuffleboard .

Sam Weso

Make sure to get the cheese curds tossed in buffalo wing sauce . Amazing!

Skip the Friday fish fry ... too bad since a good fish fry & Harley's are a Milwaukee staple.

Overpriced drinks. Food was not good. Disappointing for a restaurant with the Harley name attached to it...

Avoid the Friday fish fry - it's way too soggy.

Bern Najarro

Booyah it's good.

Very gimmicky. Not worth it unless you are a tourist or motorcycle nut .

Ridiculously overpriced. Will not be back anytime soon
