Ok, while Real Chili isn't actually a bar, it's definately a Marquette tradition. Located on the south side of Wells St. between 16th and 17th street, Real Chili has satisfied Marquette students for a quick lunch between classes and after a hard night of drinking. As the bumper sticker says, “It's not just for breakfast anymore!”

The menu is pretty simple, chili. (hot, medium, or mild) The different levels of heat actually refer to the amount of chili being served, hence hot is more expensive than medium. The chili is served over spaghetti, beans, or both and you can top your treat with onions, cheese, or sour cream. (for a small charge) If you've been overserved prior to arriving and find the ordering too complicated, simply ask for the “Marquette Special” and you'll receive a bowl of medium with spaghetti and beans. Regardless of what you order, you'll receive a cup of oyster crackers which can be used to top the chili or to be thrown at fellow patrons. (you wouldn't be the first)

The menu also includes chili dogs and tacos, but they serve the same purpose as maps, cameras, and I ♥ NY T-shirts…

Real Chili has several locations in Milwaukee. The campus location does not serve alcohol, but other locations do.
