American Express is currently running an ad for their partnership with the NBA about the bars affected by the pandemic. The large credit card company came up with the ‘shop small’ mantra years ago, and now, they’ve also added ‘dine small’ to help restaurants during this time. In this commercial, there are few Milwaukee bars featured such as Steny’s Tavern, The Harp, Nomad World Pub. It was so cool to see all of these bars on a national stage seeing as they’re all places that you and I have been to throughout the years. And Nomad is a place I spent my Saturday night.

The owner of Steny’s explained that the ad agency putting together this spot wanted snow in their commercial hence why Milwaukee got a chance to be featured. The film crew was lucky enough to get some snow shots as well. It is very cool to see these spots featured. If you’re into going to bars right now, a sporting event might be the perfect scenario for it. You have to be seated which is what you want and as long as you’re near a TV, it’s a great experience. The juice isn’t there without people standing, but a seated experience while supporting the industry is a great way to do a Bucks game.
