Benchwarmers Sports Pub & Grill
262-820-3500
Benchwarmers, formerly know as Dive Bar and Sussex Place Sports Bar, has been serving up beers and cocktails in its spacious venue since 1995. The bar changed its name to Dive Bar in 2011 to rebrand itself with new managment. It did so again in April of 2012 to Benchwarmers.
Benchwarmers' big draw is its year-round sand volleyball leagues, with both indoor and outdoor leagues for adults of all ages and abilities. There are also pool and dart leagues. The bar itself is huge, with 33 chairs, nine booths, and four large tables for big groups. Food is served all day.
