Topping the list is Sobelman's. Located at 1601 W. Wells St. in Marquette, the pub and traditional American spot is the highest-rated inexpensive pub in Milwaukee, boasting four stars out of 124 reviews on Yelp. 

Yelper Emily D., who reviewed Sobelman's on April 23, wrote, "I can only speak for the Bloody Mary's. I learned that I love to eat lunch when it is skewered and affixed atop a large tankard of alcohol infused tomato juice. Tiny hamburgers do, in fact, taste better this way. And I love pickles!"

2. Nomad World Pub

Next is Lower East Side's Nomad World Pub, situated at 1401 E. Brady St. With four stars out of 93 reviews on Yelp, the pub has proven to be a local favorite for those looking for an affordable option. 

Yelper Nicole F., who reviewed Nomad World Pub on July 27, shared, "Love this bar—a must for all soccer fans. We stopped here during a USA match and felt the camaraderie with the American outlaws who were watching as well."

3. The Highbury

The Highbury, located at 2322 S. Kinnickinnic Ave., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the cheap pub four stars out of 42 reviews. 

Yelper Amber G., who reviewed The Highbury on Sept. 5, wrote, "Highbury is a fun atmosphere that's dog-friendly, has plenty of TV screens. Reasonably priced drinks and you can even get a spiked coffee if you're one of the early risers for European soccer."

4. Fluid

Fluid, a pub and traditional American spot in Walker's Point, is another cheap go-to, with four stars out of 17 Yelp reviews. Head over to 819 S. Second St. to see for yourself.
