At the start of the game, the Dodgers had the lead, but the Brewers came back winning 6-4.
"It’s like David beating Goliath. It’s always cool when the underdogs get us and finally we were able to sweep the Dodgers," Gryczka said.
Jeff Schefus was also watching the game at Paulie's Pub and Eatery. He said he went to Game 6 of the 1982 World Series.
"It was unbelievable. I was just a young kid, 22 at the time," Schefus said.
He said he gave his Game 7 ticket to his younger sister because he had to go to work.
"(I) had to give away my ticket to (Game) 7 to my younger sister and she went. They came oh-so close," Schefus said.
He has been waiting 44 years to see the Brewers go back to the World Series.
"It’s overwhelming! When are (the Brewers) coming home? Meet them at the airport," Schefus said just after the Thursday's win.
Fans at Paulie's Pub and Eatery celebrated the win with cheers, applause, high-fives and shouts of joy.
"Just enjoy this moment, Milwaukee. This is once in a lifetime," Gresh said.
The Brewers will play the first game in the World Series on Friday, Oct. 23.
