The drinks were made very well and we would definitely go back there. It's not your run of the mill bar. It's a specialty bar and they make unique drinks that are awesome.

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 won't claim it's authentic, because I have no idea. I can only claim delicious and it's surprisingly accurate to sauces I've eaten in NORTHERN China, which might tell you something. Suggest replacing jalapeno with any of the common Asian peppers. 3) love the quaint place. There's a small stage in back, which may or may not get good use (I hope it does). Service is friendly and professional. It's OK to dine alone. I'm no expert on Poutine but it's also good comfort food. They have house made cocktails which seem appealing and from what I can tell, people enjoy. Best times to visit: Saturday afternoon, or before a show.

Made me feel dizzy everywhere I looked. We love the large cheese curds here! And we had the sweet potato tots, which were amazing! I really enjoyed the new food menu. We all loved our dishes. Drink menu is.... Ehhh. Especially the Too Buku martini. It was supposed to have green chiles and cilantro. But all I tasted was sweet, pretty tasteless lychee. Restaurant was pretty slow, only 2 other couples in the entire place. But server wasn't around very much until the check came.

The best time to visit is when there is a food truck, otherwise there aren't food options. I would think you could bring your own, but I've never verified. The inside is pretty cute too and has nice vibes if you just want to hang out with a drink or two. They've been understaffed on days when it is surprisingly nice and the place is nearly full outside when they open and they only have one bartender, but hopefully with the season change that gets figured out.

It's family friendly, with lots of green space outside for the kids to play, and they have yard games. The drinks are delicious, and I love trying the different specials they have. They don't serve food, but frequently have different food trucks that come, which is honestly better because then I can try places I haven't before! I can't say enough good things about the Rusty Bee. Our family loves it here!

It is super adorable inside. The woodwork, seating, tables, everything! Really done well! Lots of bar seating as well as little lounge couches and chairs make for a very inviting space. Large dining room tables at the front look perfect for larger groups. The wine selection is made up of all local Wisconsin vineyard selections. Very cool. Live music while we were there - it was low key lounge style and fit the setting perfectly. I was very impressed. I don't get out to Edgerton often, but next time I do I will certainly return to this amazing little spot. Only thing I would change was the color used for parts of the menu - it was difficult to read. The lighting is low and the color palette was just too dark. But that is super minor in the grand scheme of things. We all have cell phones with flashlights anymore so that was what we used (lol).

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.

I have to say one of my favorites is that they open early on the first day of school and the last day of school for mimosas and bloody Mary's.
