The Tasting Room in Monona, WI is a phenomenal lounge to visit if you are a true lover or connoisseur of wine, special cigars, and looking for a relaxing upscale lounge with an outdoor patio with beautiful fire pit with a view of the Yahara River (inlet). I recently, visited the Tasting room for a friend's birthday celebration who loves smoking cigars. When I first walked in, the lounge was dimly lit with an absolutely stunning beautiful bar, a beautiful modern fireplace, cozy furniture, and it wraps all the way around to a back corner that has a large screen tv with couches and huge round table. The vibe was giving me sophisticated, warm/inviting, and extremely cozy! I went on a Saturday night. It was a fully packed lounge with people enjoying themselves! I was really impressed with their bar area where you can also see behind the bar is a stunning spacious walk-in humidor, crafted in classic Spanish Cedar that showcases hundreds of handcrafted premium cigar brands that you can purchase and enjoy in the Tasting Room lounge. They carry some limited edition such as Opus X, Liga Privada and Davidoff cigars. I really appreciated the excellent customer service at the Tasting Room. I myself have worked in the service industry and have high expectations. Although it was really busy, the bartenders were very professional, prompt, friendly, and consistently made sure my friends and I were well taken care of throughout the whole entire night. One of the bartenders even though he couldn't get to us right away made sure to acknowledge us/greet us and that he would be with us shortly when we first sat at the bar. They have a very nice selection of unique sophisticated craft cocktails, an impressive special selection of whiskeys, beer, wine by the glass or bottle, and even great options for non-alcoholic drinks including Sumatra coffee. I really enjoyed my craft cocktail I tried called the "Hydromelon" made with Charentais Melon, Lemon, Amaretto, Sparkling Wine, Barrel-Aged Gin, and Mint. It was a beautifully made cocktail with beautiful presentation that was not too sweet but also fruity. My friends and I enjoyed ourselves the whole time we were there for my friend's birthday celebration relaxing, chatting, and enjoying our drinks and cigars. I highly recommend checking out the Tasting Room if you are looking for a relaxing cozy environment to enjoy great drinks, conversation, and great selection of cocktails. If you are bringing a larger group you can even make a reservation on their website! Make sure to check their website because they sometimes have live music on certain dates! This place is definitely a sophisticated but casual place to unwind!

Amazing aesthetic, beautiful collection of cigars, and right on an inlet of the lake! Indoor and outdoor seating makes for a wonderful spot to spend several hours with friends. Warning: you will walk out of here smelling like cigar smoke!!! But honestly, you should expect that.

Whiskey and coke

Vibes are absolutely immaculate at this spot. Bartenders were very friendly and welcoming, prices are very affordable and the overall atmosphere is really comforting and unique. Sat outside on the patio on a beautiful day and just enjoyed my drink surrounded by the lovely foliage. Highly recommend you can't go wrong here.

It was my son's 21st birthday and he mentioned the Tasting room. I never smoked a cigar and knew nothing about them? Who knew a cigar could last 45 minutes to an hour and a half, well the staff was very helpful and gave us there opinion on a couple of mild stooges. We had fun and a couple of drinks! Nice place.

This place is man cave central! Cigars of all kinds and price points. Beer, wine, cocktails galore. Ample seating in big comfy living room style leather chairs. Many group tables, long bar area. Lots of big windows for natural light. Big HD TV in the back of the main room for watching games as well. Adam the GM is a cool dude who helps you out with anything you need. This is a ideal place for the guys to come after work for happy hour or a weekend guys day out to just chill and watch a game or just shoot the sh*t and be guys period. Prices all reasonable too.

Nice after dinner cigar

See all

Very nice cigar store, there don't seem to be many places in Madison for what I'd call "Full Service" cigar shops.

Shakers is exactly what I need when I need it. I LOVE visiting in the spooky season and taking one…read moreof their many ghost tours. Their staff is great at story telling. They also have cocktail waitresses which is rare to come across in Milwaukee! Beware it is smoky inside, as you know, it is a cigar bar. It is the perfect place to get a fancy cocktail and get spooked by a tour. I love their rooftop bar in the warmer weather, and they often have tarot card readers for some extra fun!

Very unique place! Once a brothel, a speakeasy, and under the ownership of the Capone brothers,…read morethere is an immense amount of history and character to be found here. For obvious reasons, it's a Milwaukee staple. Yes, be prepared to smell like smoke when you leave here, because it is true to the name: a cigar bar. They're sold and smoked inside, and it's clear they have a following for just that. But there's more to this place, for the non-smokers like myself. A full bar of cocktails, brews, and wines. A large menu, which seemed to me like it had a lot of New Orleans style options, plus exotic seafood and game dishes. There are multiple stories of the building, each funky and dressed up in their own way. You'll find live music, ghost tours (it's haunted), decor from decades past, and even a rooftop looking over the city. I've yet to eat here but on a recent visit came for the infamous tour. Our guide was so great and led us from detailing the notable exterior parts of the building, through the basement, and each floor up from there. You'll have to visit yourself to uncover all of the stories and haunted history. Our group also grabbed drinks from the bar (which you can bring with you on tour). I had the gin martini - my favorite cocktail of all time - but asked the bartender to put it over ice, make it dirty, and add a twist. She returned with it made to perfection. Others has old fashioneds and wine, and it all went down a treat. It's probably not for everyone, but if you're looking for an ~experience~ then Shaker's is certainly worth a visit.
