Part bar, part restaurant, Bay View's Cafe Lulu is as a great a place to stop for a drink as it is for a sandwich, salad or slice of pie. Lulu spans two storefronts on the corner of Kinnickinnic Avenue and Howell Avenue -- one part cafe / diner and the other bar.

Menu: The drink menu is a typical combination of liqour, beer and wine. Find local and regional beers on tap as well as a large selection of bottles. Don't miss the great food menu as well-- better selection and better taste than your typical bar grub.

Price: This is a neighborhood joint and prices reflect it. Beers are standard $4 or $5 and cocktails run between $4 and $6.

When to go: Happy hour specials ($1 off rail drinks, tap beers and wine) run weekdays from 4 to 7 p.m.

Dress: Casual.

Don't miss: Don't miss "Two Wheel Tuesdays" with motorcycle racing on the big screen. And every Wednesday, Lulu treats wine drinkers to "Wino Wednesdays." Get $10 off bottles of wine after 5 p.m.

Parking: There's a small lot just south of the building, otherwise metered street parking is available.
