Management is a complete joke. If you try to make a reservation here and have any type of question,…read morelike we did, the manager (Morton) WILL NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES respond to you. You can email, you can call...do not plan on a response. The sweet people that answer the phone do their best to answer questions but ultimately they keep referring you to Morton, because he was the only one that could answer, and he refuses to respond. This really caused a lot of undue stress around booking an employee party. Hire better management. This is the worst customer service we've had in the entire Milwaukee area. After all of that...The ambiance is cool, the servers are friendly, and the drinks are good.

The very first time I came here was on Valentine's Day in a small snow storm. This past time, there wasn't a snow storm but somehow coming here is always magical. The bar is always crowded after 6pm so make sure if you're bringing friends to come a little earlier, but either way I'm a sucker for waiting for any of the draft drinks bc they're so unique.

The flavor was on the weaker side, but it wasn't bad. The prosecco they use was in tap and was also kind of bland and not super cold. (This is the reason for the 4 star).

The hotel is a perfect blend of historic charm and modern elegance that makes it a must see for any traveler coming into Milwaukee. Once inside, find the elevators that take you to the 23rd floor and you won't be disappointed. The city views are absolutely incredible. I found a rather tasty Super Tuscan to sip on while enjoying the live music this evening. The staff was friendly without being pushy and made sure we were enjoying the evening. I'll be back much sooner the next time.

There was no menu that I saw, but we ordered 2 old fashioned with bourbon, sweet. The inside looks recently renovated - industrial/metal concrete vibes?, There's pool table, a few TV screens, and high top tables with heavy, counter height bar stools tucked along the windows. It was dark when we visited, but I'd imagine there's a great view of the river during the day. Everything was clean, and I appreciated that the tables/floors weren't sticky or gross. The drinks were just right. We were on a tight schedule to get to another reservation, or I would have liked to hang out a little longer - the bartender was quick to close out or tab. Overall, cool vibe, good drink, fair price. The only downside was parking, but that's a given for anywhere downtown.

I ordered the turkey BLT and loved that it came on a buttery, flaky croissant--such a great touch that took the sandwich to the next level. That said, I tried the chicken katsu sandwich and it was seriously one of the best sandwiches I've ever had--perfectly cooked chicken, the flavors were on point, and the mayo? Everything. I came across a "new menu" on Google & was a little bummed to see it's no longer on the updated menu. I really hope they bring it back or I looked at an "old" or outdated new menu The ambiance was great--I sat in the front near the hotel, but the outdoor lounge area looked super cozy and inviting. I'd love to come back at night, when the string lights and fire towers are lit up I feel like the area would be even cozier and cuter The service was okay; I'm not sure if it's because we were sitting outside but it felt like we didn't get much service at all. Overall, I really enjoyed the food and the vibe, and I'll definitely be returning.

They have happy hour from 4-6pm and it is a first come first serve basis, no reservations. The outdoor patio is very spacious with chairs, tables and couches which includes table service and great music vibes. Our waitress was very kind and tentative the entire night. They offer a seasonal cocktail menu in addition to appetizers, handheld soup, and salad and mains. They have a simple specialty cocktail list to choose from which I felt like, overall, was pretty basic compared to others i've seen in the city. Didn't love the cocktails we tried overall. However, we tried out the wings which were 10/10 very flavorful and affordable! You can get them buffalo or dry rubbed. We also got the beer battered cheese curds which are made with white cheddar cheese- they were amazing! (This is coming from a Wisconsinite too). The patio itself has a great overall ambience, especially on a nice evening. I would definitely recommend checking it out if you're looking for a quaint, semi- hidden outdoor patio in the Walkers Point/Milwaukee area!

The last trip here, the DJ played "teach me how to dougie" which is a beat I have yet to hear in Chicago and I do not know why. This place erupted.
