So we just walked around and came back and the bar was already full! It is truly the place to be. We sat at the bar and had a blood Mary and a beer.

This little bar is tucked away in the back of Groppi's, that great little market in Bay View…read more Their tap beer selection is quite varied and rotates often. They also have a good wine selection to choose from, by the glass, also. Tuesdays they have 2-4-1 tap beers and Wednesdays there are select $3 wine pours by the glass (Australian Shiraz, last night, $3!). Eric and Stephanie are a great duo behind the bar as they are both friendly and knowledgeable about their beers and wines. If you are feeling a bit peckish, they have pizzas and a good selection of appetizers to nibble on - cheese plates etc. Louie's Coop has a nice feel to it with great people either behind the bar, or in front of it! Be sure to ask about the Thursday night wine classes too - awesome fun and value!

In addition to the still impeccable cocktails and delicious food, this past weekend they were serving up a sanctuary daiquiri with the proceeds heading directly to the Immigrant Law Center in Minnesota. Also, if you didn't know, any evening, you can 'plate it forward' for $20. The food is always delicious and the drinks divine. Offering all this deliciousness and avenues to help? Magical. Get to it! And, order the chocolate stout cake for dessert. You won't regret it.

Another great experience at Goodkind!…read more Our zero-proof beverages were fantastic - we tried the spicy pineapple mock marg and the garden gnome, which was so good I had 2. The food was really good - came out very quickly. We had the Brussels sprouts salad (fantastic), the sourdough with salted butter (so good!), the chicken, the beef cheeks (yum), and the spicy crab pasta. We shared a mini gateau basque for dessert with some coffee - really good! Our server was excellent - friendly, helpful, accommodating with a food allergy, and just generally pleasant. The vibes are great - cozy, laid back, and comfortable. I especially love all the plants mixed in with the eclectic decor.

I had never been to the Midwest before, and all I can say is, I was very lucky to be in Milwaukee…read more My partner and I are beer & cocktail connoisseurs and are always in search of a good time. Jenneca, the bartender who served us the entire time, made sure of that. Not only did she give us great service, but she made us feel like we were part of her community. She spoke to us like we were family and made two Angelenos feel like this was home. I truly did not know what to expect being out here, but I felt like I didn't want to leave. Jenneca was exceptional -- not only in her way of speaking to people, but also made lovely drinks. If I could move to Milwaukee now, I would, solely because I found a community in a place away from home, and that is so difficult to find.
