I love the bars I've discovered since I moved to Milwaukee. Most with a classic feel, slightly dim with quirky decor. This bar is no different. There is always something new to check out and explore. I loved that my drink had a doily as a coaster. A very good cocktail menu. I found something quickly. It was relatively quiet since we arrived kind of at an off time. but there was a small talkative group of regulars (seemed to be?) at the other end of the bar. The service was somewhat sluggish. The bartender chatted with the regulars and overlooked when we finished our drinks. I never want to be that people who yell at a bartender or is aggressive about having a drink now. Did we waited longer than usual? Yes. But nothing major. And the exceptional cocktails were worth the wait!

I ordered the flannel season and it was one of the best fall season cocktails I've ever had.

The interior was such a fun vibe. We loved the purple lighting and all the decor, made for great photo backgrounds. Also, the view is so underrated.

I recently tried the Aviation Spritz, made with State Line American Gin, Luxardo, Crème de Violette, lemon, Prosecco, and a fancy cherry. It was refreshing, delicious, and the perfect balance of bright citrus and sweetness. Definitely a drink I would order again. I also love that Cordial is away from campus, which makes it feel a little more relaxed and grown-up. The staff is always great, friendly, and welcoming, and parking has never been an issue, which is a huge plus. Another thing I appreciate is that Cordial isn't a loud bar. You can actually enjoy your drink, have a conversation, and relax without having to yell across the table. Great drinks, great staff, easy parking, and a chill atmosphere.

Excellent crab cakes, outstanding salad, had the duck. That was probably the best duck breast…read morewe've ever had. Not greasy, the potato puffs were outstanding, and the spicy thin cut Brussel sprouts were absolutely delicious. Our server was nice, kinda quirky, but nice, and the service was overall very good. We had two old fashioneds, (maple and blueberry) and I'd say they were sweeter than expected. I'd say if you don't want it as sweet, inform them to make it less sweet/simple sugar. You want to taste the liquor... and that I think was a slight shame. It was still good- but ask for less sweet.... Additionally, had the pumpkin cheesecake, and that was very good too. It was heavy, but still very good. Very clean, the bathrooms were clean, and the facility was very organized and this old building has been revamped and is now a nice shiny jewel of Baraboo. Highly recommend. Get the duck... absolutely one of the most underrated platter that goes highly unnoticed. Get it. Thank me later.
