I heard they have themed nights too for music so I would definitely want to come here with some friends to check it out. Our bartender took great care of us too!

Had the BEST time coming here for the Saturday flamenco!!!…read more The decor and atmosphere are so inviting, I felt so at home while also being super hyped, it was the perfect balance. They have a nice selection of cocktails, too. My party tried several and we thoroughly enjoyed all of them. I loved the little details, like the hanging flowers from the ceiling and Spanish lanterns that just added to the experience. Very one of a kind spot! We have been to Spain many times and seen authentic flamenco, and honestly I enjoyed this better. I personally enjoyed this show WAY more than the typical flamenco show we went to last time we were in Spain. I liked that it feels like there's almost a slight Cuban influence (which makes it better IMO)- a little looser, more fun and not as serious. Christian is a great musician and host. During the intermission for the music he walked around with a platter of light tapas that he handed out to patrons. We were so excited to see this spot open up and can't wait to come back!

First time here. Camp site 131 transformed into Saloon MKE. Owned by Camp Bar…read more Initially walking into the bar area I felt surrounded by dead deer and their antlers. It is pretty similar to the camp bars but smaller. A giant tv screen is behind the bar and three smaller tv. Seven wooden chanterelles illuminate a wall of booths and tables on street side. A line of campy Aztec stools line the bar on the other side. All beer is canned or bottled. They had a seasonal IPA but normally just two more basic IPAs. No stouts. More of a cocktail bar with the gimmick of $3 to have your drink served in a smoked container. Super friendly staff! Came to see live music, which started an hour later than posted, partly due to not being very busy.

It gives cozy cabin vibes with many different animal mounts. It's like being transported up north while still being in Milwaukee. Servers are so kind and because the bar is small, they are able to have conversations with people sitting at the bar. This is a very chill environment and great for weeknights or a weekend that you don't want to be surrounded by loud dancing people. They have live country music, which is a huge plus for me.

One of our favorite rooftops in the city!…read more A true Milwaukee gem that we enjoy as transplants! This rooftop is always a hotspot choice to enjoy some time with friends be sure to send someone ahead of time to grab a good seating location as spots fill up quickly. I also think recently they adjusted their pricing to give you a better value which is nice. The bartenders are always super helpful and there are good options for everyone. I will also say their food options and selections have increased tremendously recently.

On a recent short weekend trip to Milwaukee with my husband, we were staying at this Kimpton hotel…read moreand got to enjoy their wonderful rooftop bar, The Outsider. We were actually given two complementary drink beverages from the hotel staff for a reservation mixup which was appreciated and we took advantage of. It was a very cold Saturday afternoon and there was plenty of snow both on the ground and coming down. But the view could not be beat and the roaring fire definitely kept the covered patio space plenty warm. Our server was extremely kind and attentive. We had eaten a big lunch so we did not partake in any food but both of the cocktails we ordered were delicious. I ordered a tiramisu-inspired coffee cocktail while my husband ordered a pumpkin inspired old-fashioned. The drinks were strong and one was plenty to enjoy before an evening out.

Great happy hour and espresso martini choice!…read more We decided to try this place one afternoon as we always passed it walking through third ward. This place is known for their craft cocktails and craft beer. Unfortunately, when we went they didn't have any of their beer on tap and were a little short staffed for the night. The team and bartenders their did do a great job with recommendations and helping us navigate the menu. They also specialize in unique twists on espresso martinis which my wife and I enjoyed. This place also brings in some live music from time to time with a real moody date night ambience for you to enjoy. I also would say they also often times offer specials on these so check their social media and you can sometimes score $7 espresso martinis.

Great vibe, especially on a warm day with the garage door open to the patio. The espresso martini…read moreisn't my favorite in town. But the rose is great. Will have to come back to try their beer.

I had heard about the Tin Widow's holiday pop up being one of the best area, the hype was not wrong. From the entrance to the ceiling and walks, this place is the definition of deck the halls. Unless you get here right when they open it early in the holiday season, I would expect a crowd. The drink menu is so fun with holiday themed drinks served in matching glassware. You can even purchase the glass/mug for an additional fee. A lot of the cocktails looked to be batched cocktails which help with the bartender's efficiency. Highly recommend making this place a holiday stop. I'm also curious to stop in after the holidays to experience it without all the holiday decor.

We knew Brownstone would be the perfect place to celebrate. All positive feedback! 1. Cleanliness and Management The establishment is always clean. I was to witness the owner personally wiping down tables and adjusting furniture. Seeing an owner take such visible pride in their business and never being "too good" to work really stands out to me and sets a great tone for the venue. 2. Happy Hour, Drinks, and Vibe Their happy hour is absolutely amazing, with affordable prices and great options. It normally stops at 7:00 PM, but they extended it until 9:00 PM last night! The drinks were made to order, arrived shortly after ordering, and tasted great. They weren't so strong that you couldn't enjoy them, but they definitely packed a punch. The atmosphere was flawless thanks to the staff and 2 DJs who kept the music upbeat and perfect. The entire crowd was having a time, singing along on cue and swaying to the music. 3. The Food We ordered pasta and happy hour appetizers, and everything was delicious. From presentation to taste, the kitchen delivered exactly what we were hoping for. I have absolutely no complaints. It was another fantastic experience celebrating a great holiday with an even better crowd. To answer your question, will I return? Absolutely! In fact, I might even head back after Summerfest this weekend!

Still a big fan of Boone and Crocket…read more I love the masterful mix of taxidermy and chandeliers. I love that they do game nights in style with a big screen and lots of energy. I love that I can slip into a dimly lit booth with my date and enjoy a exquisitely mixed cocktail and maybe even a game of cribbage by candlelight. I truly love it all. I love that they've expanded the food truck offerings and have a small food truck park on their property. You can order from Taco Moto (and maybe others as well, we're just partial to Taco Moto) right from a QR code at your table or booth and they'll text you when your food is ready (which you're welcome to enjoy in Boone & Crocket). It's truly a magical bar on the lakefront with, have I mentioned? Plenty of parking to boot. Get to it!

There are plenty of little nooks and corners to hang out in small or larger groups. I'm sure it's extra good in the warmer months. They have a big patio area. The cocktails on tap were excellent - well balanced and tasty. I tried the Manhattan and the Negroni. They were also pretty reasonable. Service was good. I could really do without all the dead creatures hung everywhere though. It's just not that cool in 2026, even in Wisconsin. Maybe show some respect for animals.

The cocktails are damn good, and the seafood options straight from St Pauls Fish Co are fresh and delicious. Popped in a Monday night to meet a girlfiend and somehow managed two seats at the bar. The bartender was super duper nice and attentive, the twinkle lights were twinkling, the beachy atmosphere was there. A fun little escape in the dead of winter! Big fan of their margaritas, that's definitely a go-to. Had the paloma this time though (aka grapefruit marg), and really liked it. They make their mixings all in house which I SO appreciate. Fresh-squeezed lime juice is 10000x better than any random pre-mix. Tiki stands true as a great Milwaukee rec!
