I only have one visit under my belt and I have been torn on a review, but I am familiar with a…read moreregular that tells me my experience is pretty typical of their own experiences. So, very interesting building and space. There appears to be a fun patio area for the summer months and there's a big screen tv that I'm guessing shows sporting events. My review for atmosphere would be 4-5 stars. Unfortunately too much time doing nothing but waiting and looking around killed the visit. I was there on a Saturday at the noon hour. It was not exceptionally busy, especially for the space they have. We were just there to get a coffee and go. Should be in/out in a few minutes right? Wrong, there was one girl managing the counter and two guys visible in the back area. We waited a full 10 minutes at the counter while the girl took one order ahead of ours. I was getting the this is going to take forever vibe and would have left, but we weren't in a hurry and my wife wanted to try the coffee. So once our order was placed and paid for we proceeded to wait another 20 minutes for two drinks and a scone. In that time the counter girl certainly kept moving, although not with any deliberate speed. The two guys in the kitchen did not come out to help her at all and when delivering only two plates to tables did so at a snail's pace. The place really wasn't busy, but the staff they had struggled mightily to keep pace. This is similar to what my friend reports experiencing time and again. To give credit the counter person did apologize for the wait time to place our order and apologized again for the wait to receive our order. So the drinks (coffee and a chai) were average and the blueberry scone was on the dry side of mid. All in all, really nice atmosphere and decorations. Maybe a place to bring your own drink in, because you may not get one from them for awhile. Definitely not a good place to stop if you are in a rush to get somewhere else.

Always great service! Comfortable. Really good food!…read more Reading a couple of the reviews on here from the elitist, whiny, entitled children are hilarious. Go grab your banky and nuk-nuk and take a nap. You need it!

After enjoying Five Festive Friday Eves we popped into this adorable little pub because our car was…read moreparked in front of it. Boy I am so glad we did! Set inside a historic bed and breakfast, The Five20 Social Stop is like something you'd see in a Hallmark movie set in a sweet little town. So welcoming and inviting, we were immediately comfortable. The room is small with vintage rock/stone walls. The antique bar fits the room perfectly. Warm lighting with whimsical decor, the whole vibe is reminiscent of an antique lodge. There were just a few people enjoying the live music - a duo singing classic tunes. They sounded fantastic! Given we are in the middle of a pandemic I was surprised they offered live music and relieved everyone was spaced out. It was my friend's birthday so they sang Happy Birthday along with everyone in the entire pub! I later found out that the singer was one of the owners. The woman at the table across the way was his wife and was the other owner. This husband and wife duo could not have been more gracious and hospitable. I noticed that there was an air purifier right next to our table which made me feel a little better. I wasn't sure I wanted to socialize quite as much as we were doing, but it was my friend's birthday so we kept our masks on and enjoyed a few songs before we headed out. Once the crazy virus gets under control, I would love to come back and stay at this dear little bed and breakfast situated in the heart of downtown on their main street. It would be perfect for a romantic get away, a girlfriend's weekend or a family vacation. I plan on enjoying their authentic little pub every night that I'm there. During warm weather they have a great outdoor patio in the back and offer live music out there. I am very much looking forward to returning because of the quaint atmosphere, delicious cocktails, talented entertainment and kind owners!

The service and the people are very friendly and accommodating. They had live music and it wasn't too loud where you couldn't hear your neighbor.

One thing that's great about this spot is that they offer all of their drinks as 0 ABV so it makes it super easy and enjoyable for those who are not drinking to still feel catered to and can enjoy a fancy beverage - however I will note that they are as pricey as the cocktails since they use a fancy alcohol in the drinks that is zero proof! Service is super easy ordering at the counter indoors and you can peruse and look at all of the cute curated items, books & records while you wait. The outdoor seating is ample and lovely with their giant striped umbrellas and blue Adirondack chairs as well as other seating options - and fire pits for when the weather turns chilly! Overall love this spot and will continue to pop in when we have the chance.

Finally checked out Art of Joy! Man have I been missing out…read more My friend and I are cohosts for One of a Kind Milwaukee a podcast and we celebrated our one year anniversary at Art of Joy with family and friends. Their cabana you can rent for FREE! for 2 hours which is so amazing. You can bring in food as long as it's from a formal kitchen caterer. The drinks are all so fun and what's so great is they all can be made zero proof! Plus it's kid friendly as well and most nights they even have some type of entertainment. Our server was amazing! The decor is adorable. Needless to say will definitely be making the 30 minute drive more often.

The only reason this place is not getting 5 stars is because that bathroom was GROSS. Seriously the worst bathroom I've been in ages. I will not go into detail because seriously, barf. Hold it if you need to go while here. Service: Our waitress was friendly and split the bills accurately. She did a great job clearing plates as they were emptied and refilling water too. Drinks: Amazinggggg. They make really great craft cocktails. I would definitely come back here just for the drinks. Our table ordered a bunch of different drinks but the one that really stood out was the Codependant. I don't know if I can recreate that at home but I sure as heck am going to try. Food: We obviously ordered a bunch of plates for the table. The one that REALLY stood out was the whipped feta appetizer. I could eat two plates of that all by myself and order nothing else. An item that was really interesting was the Blueberry Goat Cheese Pinsa, it is literally dessert pizza, super unique flavor combo, everyone liked it. I recommend ordering this to end your meal! The rest of the dishes were good but nothing I would rave about to other people. Next time I'm down here visiting family I would definitely come back for the Codependant and the Whipped Feta app!

I especially recommend the Thai Peanut Shrimp--it was incredibly flavorful and came with a generous amount of shrimp. The Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer was another standout. It was served hot and fresh with a light, crispy breading and a delicious dipping sauce. So good! We also had cocktails, which were just okay for me. They tasted a little watered down and weren't as spirit-forward as I prefer. I also thought the décor felt a little tired and didn't quite match the more interesting menu. Overall, though, we really enjoyed our dinner and would recommend Twisted Willow if you're looking for something a little different and flavorful while visiting Port Washington!

The floor to ceiling windows would provide a great view of the lake and on a return visit, I would come in earlier. Unfortunately I missed the view as I came in for a nightcap. Thankfully the space was decorated for the Halloween holiday and very festive. There is a nice variety of wine and cocktails on the menu. There is also some small bites available for purchase ie cheese and crackers. The cocktail menu is curated by an external consultant and changes seasonally but creative nonetheless. This meant I couldn't ask as many questions about how the cocktails were conceived or what they were planning for the upcoming season. There were definitely some that were combinations that I've not seen before! The staff were kind and engaging. I genuinely appreciated the company and conversation as a solo drinker.

Came recently with some girlfriends and really enjoyed their outdoor patio space. The building is a little off the beaten path of the main street in Cedarburg, so it allows for a quieter experience.

Known for the wine, which some of the gals got, but I personally enjoyed the espresso martini. As far as I could tell, they don't do food, but instead more snack-like options: charcuterie, trail mix, nuts. Solid spot for a cozy night.
