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 space is intimate and can get crowded but it's worth it. Drinks are unique and are served with a heavy pour.

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!

I went with the Hot Honey Chicken Biscuit this week, the Wednesday special, and it was so good. The biscuit was warm and flaky, the fried chicken was tender and juicy, the hot honey added just the right amount of heat without being overbearing. The fries, as per usual, were crispy and salty -- the perfect accompaniment. My dining companion and I snagged a slice of Cookies n' Cream pie for dessert. It was creamy and a touch chocolaty without being too sweet or heavy. Highly recommend. Service is consistently great. Vibes are immaculate. Visit Palomino.

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!

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.

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.
