About This Place

Nestled in the heart of Milwaukee at 1641 S 68th St, GM's Dog House is much more than your typical local bar—it's a genuine community hub where friendliness and fun are poured with every drink. From the moment you step inside, you're welcomed by Glenn, the owner, whose warmth and genuine hospitality set the tone for an enjoyable and relaxed evening. Patrons rave about the inviting atmosphere created by the bartenders and regulars alike, making it a perfect spot to unwind after a long day or to kick off a memorable night out.

What truly sets GM's Dog House apart is its vibrant and lively environment. Whether you're a fan of bar dice, free pool tables, or trying your luck on a wheel spin for a chance at a free drink, there's something for everyone. Customers like Donovan Koeberl and Medea Klima emphasize the laid-back, fun-filled vibe that keeps them coming back—highlighting the clean premises, cool slots and games, and the engaging bartenders, especially the ever-popular Dolly, who clearly knows how to keep the energy high and smiles wide.

Notably, GM's Dog House embraces its identity as a pure bar experience rather than a full-service restaurant. While food options are limited to light snacks such as bags of chips, warm nuts, and frozen pizza, the focus remains squarely on delivering exceptional drink service and a welcoming social scene. This makes it an ideal destination for those looking to enjoy expertly crafted beverages in a no-fuss, friendly setting.

Special events and themed parties add another layer to the Dog House's allure. Big Country shares the excitement of attending a Halloween party with great drinks, top-tier service, and even Packer ticket giveaways, underscoring the bar’s commitment to delivering memorable community gatherings. Steven Guerrero’s reflections on weekly visits and hopes of reigniting his connection with the venue speak to the lasting impression GM's Dog House leaves on its patrons.

In essence, GM's Dog House delivers an experience that feels both authentic and welcoming—like your favorite neighborhood watering hole with a heart. Whether you’re after a chill evening with friends, some friendly competition over pool or dice, or simply a place where the drinks flow and laughter resonates, this Milwaukee gem promises a genuine, spirited escape from the everyday.

    Awesome friendly bar from the owner Glenn, bartenders & fellow patrons! My buddy & I wanted to go to a new place after a Fish Fry and relax and we loved GM's Dog House!

    This is a nice little bar I use to go to every week w/my man Bobby! But Bobby had to go, so I stopped going too. However tonight I'm going back to see the changes that have been made and see if they still do the wheel spin, I always loved a chance for a free drink. Also free pool to boot. We always had fun there I hope I can reignite the old flame I had w/the Dog House, and in doing so turn on some new friends to a great little spot from my past. See you soon GM'S Dog House. Taco & Friends.

    The wife and I went last night for the Halloween party. It was a blast! (Thank you for the Packer tix.) Great drinks and service and friendly atmosphere. Kind of a hidden jem and one of the better bars in the area. I would recommend this place to others.
