    Happy Hour Menu - Food
    Erika A.

    I have been to the Knick a few times for brunch (love the breakfast pasta!), but this was my first time going for happy hour. The happy hour specials were great! The HH menu had a large selection of cocktails and appetizers for $6. I also like that the happy hour goes from 3-6pm Monday-Friday. I stuck with the Knick Mule all night and it was delicious. A friend ordered the margarita in a few different flavors and she enjoyed all of them. The food was amazing! We tried 6 items off the happy hour menu: spring rolls, garlic cheese curds, BBQ chicken flatbread, fried chicken sliders, happy tots, and micho burger. My favorites were the happy tots and micho burger. The tots were not what I was expecting, more mushy than crispy, but I loved it. And the chipotle aioli went perfectly with it. The burgers had a really flavorful tomato bacon jam! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because the service was a little slow. We could see our drinks sitting at the bar service station for about 5 minutes before they got delivered to us. Then we asked for straws and I ended up going to grab some myself from the bar because the server didn't come back with them for about 8 minutes. We sat with empty waters for awhile and then when we asked for water refills, they were forgotten. We wanted to order one last round of drinks before happy hour ended and started looking for our server around 5:30. Finally at 5:55, I had to grab his attention to get the order in before the deal ended at 6. It did get fairly busy, so he seemed to be running around a lot, but it is a small restaurant and I think service could have been improved. But overall, not a big deal. He was a nice guy.

    Spring rolls

    I've been to the Knick multiple times over the years- always for happy hour. They do it well. There are good deals on both food and drinks and the vibe is nice. There's been a menu change since I last went and today I tried the shrimp and spring rolls on the happy hour menu. I also got the black berry margarita which was pretty sweet and didn't taste like much alcohol- which isn't a bad thing to me. I wasn't mad at my food but it wasn't anything amazing. This is always a solid spot for happy hour and I'll have to come and try the real menu one day.

    Traditional Eggs Benedict
    Kaylie P.

    I came to The Knick for the first time for brunch with a few of my friends this past Sunday. Our server was great and attentive! The restaurant is nice and clean with a patio for seating as well, which is nice to know because spring is around the corner! Our coffees and mimosa were good. The food is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Personally, my omelette was great and I love the breakfast potatoes on the side. The special was a breakfast sandwich, which came with toast that was flimsy and slightly soggy. The meat inside was overcooked and the taste overall wasn't great per my friend. My other friend got the Benedict and the eggs were overcooked poached and were completely hard. They were redone and sent out about 10 minutes later and were better, but it seemed as if these ones were a little undercooked (the white part was runny too). I would be willing to try their lunch or dinner menu another time, but I don't think I would go back for breakfast.

    Happy hour martial yum!

    Still a great place to hang out to enjoy a drink, a meal, and people watching. Their happy hour is not to be missed.

    Patio
    Emily L.

    The heated patio is so cute! Very nice vibe for an after work hangout with friends. The blackberry margarita is delicious and the happy hour food specials are all worth trying (and trying again and again if you so wish)! Our server was Devon and he was so attentive! I hope to be sat with him next time I come back!!

    Truffle Burger without onions
    Selena F.

    I've been to The Knick a number of times, I love it every time. Our waiter was very nice and attentive. The restaurant itself has a nice fancy vibe but you can certainly go casually. I've heard amazing things about their happy hour but have yet to try it. The wings are amazing! This time I had the truffle burger which was delicious, I wish I could go in the back and take all of their garlic aioli lol. The frites that came with were also really good and a nice serving. I typically get the bacon cheddar avocado burger but my friend got it this time and she enjoyed it. She did say that the bacon was a bit tooooo crispy but still enjoyable. We also shared the pineapple mule which was fruity and didn't have much of an alcohol flavor. I always look forward to going to the Knick they have good food for reasonable prices, definitely recommend for a date or girls night.

    Loved going to the Knick for happy hour! Super great drink and food specials. Delicious bites and the drinks were great. Good prices too. Ambiance was super fun for Halloween. Service was decent but they were busy! Don't blame them for the good deals. Happy hour is until 6 pm Mon- fri.

    Came here while my friend was out of town. It was actually a recommendation from our other friend, and I'm so glad we tried it. We sat outside and it was super cute! Loved being next to the side street with all the greenery and park views around us, it made for such a nice atmosphere. Our waitress was really kind and patient (especially since we were running late from traffic while meeting our friends). The food was delicious and beautifully presented from the appetizers to the main dishes. Definitely planning to come back for both the food and the atmosphere.

    Lobster Ravioli
    Jennifer N.

    Located inside the Knickerbocker, the restaurant has a cozy charm to it. We came for dinner one night without a reservation. We opted for the outdoor patio seating as it felt like the inside was going to be way too hot for us (summer 2024). We were sat pretty promptly but the patio chairs needed a good wiping and a couple more inches apart from other tables. We really enjoyed our drinks, however, felt like our meal was just alright. I had split the burrata appetizer which was nice and light and ordered the lobster ravioli. A bit too fishy and dry for my liking. I would definitely come back for drinks.

    Shrimp tacos & waffle fries.

    The Knick is everything. It's easily one of the best restaurants in Milwaukee. The food is always top notch, I've never had a bad experience here in any regard. I love restaurants that are consistent. The Knick has a nice outdoor patio, is great for brunch, happy hour, lunch and dinner. And their wings are some of the best in the city.

    Turkey Burger
    Lauren G.

    The food was really good. I ordered the turkey burger and was pleasantly surprised. I would go back just for that. I went with a big group, but the service was fast and friendly.

    We always enjoy going to The Knick for dinner. We recently took my grandma there while she was visiting us in Wisconsin. They have a large menu so everyone can find something they like. My dad got a brandy old fashioned sweet and asked for extra bitters. He was disappointed in the drink and would not order it again. He got the Truffle Burger as his main and loves the charred grill flavor. However, the crispy prosciutto was too thick and hard this time. I got the blackened scallop salad because last time I had it, I was obsessed. However this time there was too much cheese and not enough tomatoes/ bacon. However it was still very good. The ribs were fall off the bone and had a nice layer of bbq sauce! I really enjoyed trying those. Overall, the Knick is a solid place to try if you're ever in Milwaukee.

This place is not a secret as packed busy on a Friday early afternoon. The regulars were welcoming and fun. I had to have my Lake Perch fix and Swingin' Door delivered.

I surprisingly don't have many options in my "MKE - Fish Fry" collection that are near downtown, but Swinging Door Exchange was one of them. I was pressed for time, so I placed a to go order rather than dining in. I got the combo fish fry (two pieces of cod, two pieces of perch, and three fried shrimp) with potato pancakes. I was also very easily talked into the half rack rib appetizer. The ribs were good, even though I prefer sauce that's more sweet and smokey. Their sauce was on the tangy side with a tease of spice that really only became noticeable when the majority of the half rack was gone. If I were in the mood for ribs as my main meal, I'd consider getting theirs as an entree. The two potato pancakes weren't homemade; instead, they were premade hash brown patties that some other restaurants also serve with their fish frys. These were perfectly acceptable in lieu of homemade pancakes. The cod tasted great, but the breading didn't hold up very well. Either the fish itself was too wet or the two block walk back to my car allowed for condensation to wreck it or possibly both. The perch was not yellow lake perch but probably something like pike perch. Even though both kinds of fish and the shrimp were all good sized portions, $29 feels like a lot. I wouldn't say no to it, though, if I were dining in next time and avoid the extra cost of their takeout fee. Shout-out to the bartenders working that night. The bar area was absolutely packed, but both of the ones I talked to about placing my order were friendly and helpful even with being super busy.
