Plenty of tvs to watch sports. Plenty of machines that I assume you can gamble on and plenty of beer. Service was at the bar and was fine since it wasn't crowded.

I stopped over looking to get a Gin Rickey and relax a bit before heading home. The place is a…read moreneighborhood bar with regulars that gossip about other regulars I noticed. The place had all street parking taken but as I drove around the block I found that they have parking in the rear. The bar tender was friendly with everyone and talked to the regulars. I can't tell if they have any food and I didn't notice a pizza oven but they have chips and candy. I hate to complain about service but the bar tender couldn't even make a Gin Rickey after I told him how to make one, the bar has no lime juice which amazes me because it's only happened a few times to me. This is a dive bar for sure but to not have lime juice is ridiculous.

Stopped in at The Sofie late on a Monday night after dinner and found a total gem in Milwaukee…read more It's a dark, intimate basement lounge with an incredible setup and unmatched energy. Even with a lighter weeknight crowd, the DJ was top-tier and had the entire room bumping. The attractive bartending staff were sharp, attentive, and welcoming, serving up excellent drinks with quick service and genuine conversation. If a quiet Monday night feels this electric, I can only imagine what the weekend energy is like. Definitely keeping this on the list for a return visit next time I'm in town.

The bartenders are always friendly, quick with serving, and knowledgeable on crafting quality drinks. The outside patio is spacious and contains multiple seating options and two fire pits. When I went the place was decorated for Halloween under the theme as Lost Lagoon. The decorations were top tier and worth seeing! They do have a food truck on the back patio that sells burgers, sausages, and fried sides. Can't wait to go back and explore this Bayview staple again!

The drinks were also pretty good, and offered a good variety of items that both mask and complement the alcohol taste, of course all with festive presentation. The space is pretty small, and it was pretty full at 10pm, so we ended up having to sit outside with the mysterious animals for a while before we eventually moved to the firepit, and then finally inside to enjoy the scenery. However, Lost Whale does offer that classic Bayview establishment charm that we all know and love.

We stopped here after dinner, so we stuck mostly with the cocktails. Unfortunately, nothing on the seasonal menu really stuck out to me. I stuck with the "traditional" cocktails (spicy watermelon bubblegum, and then banana daiquiri). Hubs went for the halo halo food (which was so cute! All the typical ingredients but served in cubist fashion), and the paired drink. The paired drink was supposed to have different layers of flavor, but they all mixed together quite a bit. Tasty, just not the "layered" experience we thought. I think they almost do themselves a disservice comparing themselves to the aviary - that is a crazy high bar to meet. Granted, maybe we would have been more impressed if we had more of the seasonal cocktails despite them not seeming interesting? Probably wouldnt go out of my way to go here again, but it is a cool vibe and the cocktails were good.

The drinks are all virgin and you can add alcohol. They have suggestions, but you are free to choose what you want. My negative is this: everything was incredibly sweet. Like so sweet it was hard to drink. I think it took me about 1 hour to drink a 20 ounce frozen drink because it was so, so sweet. So be warned. If sweet isn't your thing, this may not be the place for you. I was expecting New Orleans style daiquiris which are sweet but not cloyingly so.
