Great neighbor hood bar. No food to speak of BUT on special occasions food is made and brought in! That food is fantastic!
The five stars are for nostalgia and preservation of a time gone by. Gordie’s is frozen in time. A time before technology took away interpersonal, face to face neighborhoods. A time when everyone knew their neighbors and looked out for one another. Gordie’s hasn’t changed for decades. I walked in and looked like I was a “brother from another planet.” There wasn’t many choices on offer, so I had a Tito’s and soda. “You mean a Tito’s and seltzer?” “Yeah.” There were four strangers in the bar at 10:30 on Valentine’s night 2024. One of them yelled at me, “You must be from Whitefish Bay.” I said no. I’m from lots of places, but not Whitefish Bay. By the end of the night, we were all hugging each other and showing photos of our loved ones. Gordie’s was that kind of place. People looked out for each other and had a safe place to go in the neighborhood for a beer and a shot of liquor. Places like Gordie’s won’t last long. Go and enjoy a piece of history.
Sweet hideaway, sneak in some time.
Gordie’s is the perfect, old school neighborhood bar. The bartenders are always friendly, and they fill the space with holiday decorations that just add to the corner bar charm.
Cheap drinks great local corner bar bartenders are awesome!
