    Drinks menu 5/6/26
    Kristin C.

    The Knick is attached to The Knickerbocker hotel. It was a very popular place! There was a steady stream of guests coming in, as well as several takeout orders. The happy hour is very popular. We were sat on the heated, enclosed patio which was surprisingly nice and toasty. We had a peephole view of the lake even! Our server was Nick and he was very accommodating when I asked to substitute a juice in my cocktail and a side with my entree. He didn't even bat an eye and said it would be no problem. He had to do a few iterations of my drink he said, but what he served me was delicious. I ordered the salmon which was prepared perfectly. For dessert I had the carrot cake - also good! I would love to come back for the patio during warmer months.

    Happy Hour Menu - Food

    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.

    The Knick has my favorite meal in all of Milwaukee - the scallop salad. The chunk of iceburg lettuce is HUGE with top notch scallops on top, loaded with Blue Cheese dressing. They have one of the best happy hours the city has to offer. A beautiful inside for cozy dates, or a wonderful outside patio for people watching. They take reservations which is always a plus!

    Spring rolls
    Jerilyn A.

    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.

    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.

    Happy hour martial yum!
    Jody M.

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

    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.

This rooftop is always a hotspot choice to enjoy some time with friends be sure to send someone ahead of time to grab a good seating location as spots fill up quickly. I also think recently they adjusted their pricing to give you a better value which is nice. The bartenders are always super helpful and there are good options for everyone. I will also say their food options and selections have increased tremendously recently.

We were actually given two complementary drink beverages from the hotel staff for a reservation mixup which was appreciated and we took advantage of. It was a very cold Saturday afternoon and there was plenty of snow both on the ground and coming down. But the view could not be beat and the roaring fire definitely kept the covered patio space plenty warm. Our server was extremely kind and attentive. We had eaten a big lunch so we did not partake in any food but both of the cocktails we ordered were delicious. I ordered a tiramisu-inspired coffee cocktail while my husband ordered a pumpkin inspired old-fashioned. The drinks were strong and one was plenty to enjoy before an evening out.

We knew Brownstone would be the perfect place to celebrate. All positive feedback! 1. Cleanliness and Management The establishment is always clean. I was to witness the owner personally wiping down tables and adjusting furniture. Seeing an owner take such visible pride in their business and never being "too good" to work really stands out to me and sets a great tone for the venue. 2. Happy Hour, Drinks, and Vibe Their happy hour is absolutely amazing, with affordable prices and great options. It normally stops at 7:00 PM, but they extended it until 9:00 PM last night! The drinks were made to order, arrived shortly after ordering, and tasted great. They weren't so strong that you couldn't enjoy them, but they definitely packed a punch. The atmosphere was flawless thanks to the staff and 2 DJs who kept the music upbeat and perfect. The entire crowd was having a time, singing along on cue and swaying to the music. 3. The Food We ordered pasta and happy hour appetizers, and everything was delicious. From presentation to taste, the kitchen delivered exactly what we were hoping for. I have absolutely no complaints. It was another fantastic experience celebrating a great holiday with an even better crowd. To answer your question, will I return? Absolutely! In fact, I might even head back after Summerfest this weekend!

I love that I can slip into a dimly lit booth with my date and enjoy a exquisitely mixed cocktail and maybe even a game of cribbage by candlelight. I truly love it all. I love that they've expanded the food truck offerings and have a small food truck park on their property. You can order from Taco Moto (and maybe others as well, we're just partial to Taco Moto) right from a QR code at your table or booth and they'll text you when your food is ready (which you're welcome to enjoy in Boone & Crocket).

The cocktails on tap were excellent - well balanced and tasty. I tried the Manhattan and the Negroni. They were also pretty reasonable. Service was good. I could really do without all the dead creatures hung everywhere though. It's just not that cool in 2026, even in Wisconsin. Maybe show some respect for animals.
