    Espresso martini!
    Karsyn R.

    This was my first time at this Walker's Point classic! I was impressed with the speed of service considering how packed the place was and the craft of drinks they make. This place is cutely decorated and gives great vibes for a date night or guests visiting in town. Provides a great variety of cocktails and had fun music.

    Tin widow is a great local eclectic cocktail bar. Can be on the pricier side, but worth it. When it's not Christmas time, it gives "grandpas den" vibes, but if you get the chance to go to their Christmas pop up- take it! It can be very busy when they do the pop up, but turnover is quick and the drinks are so tasty. They even put them in cute cups you can purchase if you're feeling extra festive!

    Best Christmas pop up bar!!!!! Some friends and I went here the weekend after the holiday and the best time. They decorated outside of the bar and on the inside. Staff are pretty nice and the drinks are amazing! Good music to dance to as well. I will definitely come back and visit.

    Veryyy cute holiday pop up with all the christmas lights and decor. The drinks are served in really cute mugs too. My coworkers got the unicorn and mouse. I got an amaretto sour and it was very yummy so thank you to the bartender! My group liked their drinks as well. Very busy for a Monday night. People just kept coming and coming.

    We were at Don's TV Repair and our new friends mentioned that Tin Widow was decorated for Christmas. Every square inch is decorated! They have festive tiki mugs you can purchase or just enjoy your drink in! We were pretty well lubricated from Don's so we had some non-alcoholic beverages and they were tasty! If you're needing a little Christmas cheer get yourself to the Tin Widow

    This bar really knows how to do it up during the holidays. I was extremely impressed by the holiday decor, so many lights!! There was a limited edition cocktail menu served in awesome glassware (available for purchase for an extra fee), I opted for the mulled wine and it was lovely. I have been to the Tin Widow a few times, and it does get very busy pre- and post-dinner hour especially on Fridays and Saturdays. If you stop by at off-peak areas, you can easily get a seat at the bar or a table and also chat with the bar tenders. They always have excellent recommendations regarding drinks and nearby restaurants. It is a bit pricy but keep in mind it is a craft cocktail bar. It has a cozy, relaxed vibe and I would definitely recommend for date night.

    Stopped by Tin Window with friends for an evening cocktail, a very homie and quaint spot with a variety of bar, couch or table seating options. Would very much be a fun date night spot. We ordered from their house cocktail menu and I of course had to try the espresso martini. Overall it was one of the more coffee rich/dense espresso martinis i've ever tried- different than the typical martini but in a good way (if you like a dark roast vibe). My coworkers also enjoyed their house cocktails as well. The bartenders were very kind and attentive to us all night which was a bonus. It is more dimly lit compared to other bars but otherwise a great spot in walkers point to chill, converse and enjoy some drinks!

    Truly the best Christmas bar in MKE! My husband and I go every year and it's so much fun and the drinks are delicious. We got free shots last year :) highly recommend!

    Came in for their Christmas pop up the other night and it was packed! The service was quick, and we luckily got seats pretty fast. The drinks were delicious, as always, and very on theme. Come early for the pop up though bc they do get to capacity quick!

    Read online that this was a place to go for over-the-top Christmas decorations in Milwaukee. They were in the process of getting them all up, so we were too early to see the spectacle. We'll have to come back later in the month to see sights, but in the meantime we stayed and ordered a couple of cocktails, which were very good. Loved the eclectic interior design, wondered about the history of the place, and also wondered who is/was the Barbra Streisand fan as we saw both a book and and album of hers on the wall. The place is dog-friendly -- a young lady at the bar was holding her very cute and well-behaved dog on her lap. I didn't have my glasses on and I thought at first it was a monkey. The front of the bar looks like a comfy old-fashioned living room, which was what made me want to come here in the first place. I thought that this was a house-turned-into-a-bar, but it's not. I'd like to come back with some whiskey-loving friends so they can sample the selection they're known for. See you in a few weeks!

    We went to the Miracle on 2nd Street for its Miracle Christmas pop-up event. The bar was FILLED with Christmas decorations and ALL of the staff had Christmas spirit. You could tell the staff were excited and wanted to take care of our requests. The drinks had themed names and unique ingredients. A great selection of whiskeys obviously.

    We went back to the Tin Widow and had a great time. While we're still older than the usual demographic, my spouse and I were treated warmly, and the proprietor took care of us well. It was different than our last experience. My cocktail was delicious, and I think the Tin Widow is one of the best mixology bars in Walker's Point along with Boone and Crockett, Braise, Bryant's, and Red Maple.

    How expensive is this place - comparable?

    Their signature drinks are in the $9-$15 range. Since they have a huge selection of both gins and whiskeys, you can order drinks with some rare/unusual stuff and then the price depends on the liquor you choose.

    Alright let me set the scene: you walk in to Snifters. It's super modern, dark, reclaimed wood on…read morethe wall, mirrors abound. It certainly looks new. You head out to the patio (it's cute). There's couches and you lounge for a bit. Then you get the menu and have to reread it. It's...unusual. Latin meets soul food. Latin. Meets. Soul food. Oh and also, all the drinks come in snifter glasses. ???? Okay, so I'm not usually a fan of super specific, hipstery themes like this. But I decided to give Snifters a chance. And I'll admit, I liked what they had to offer. The signature dish seems to be the empanadas. These empanadas, however, are filled with unusual ingredients. We ended up getting The Manchester (basically mac and cheese stuffed in an empanada. Decent, but confusing to the senses), The Appalachia (pulled pork sandwich empanada. Solidly good), and The Cream City Standard (beans and potatoes. Easily my favorite, most similar to a traditional empanada). Overall, the empanadas were tasty, despite their oddness! We then moved on to an entree option. I went with Los Camarones, which were giant breaded shrimp served on top of cornbread. The shrimp was excellent. Very flavorful and delicious. The dish as a whole, I thought, lacked a sauce on top. It was a bit dry overall. My friend got the chicken and waffles, which was delightfully served with the maple syrup in a snifter glass. She was a big fan, so it must have been delicious. Overall, I'm surprised how much I enjoyed Snifters. I had hesitations, but the food was unique and flavorful. My big issue: the service was painfully slow. As in, I had to get up and find our server myself, which automatically knocks one star off in my books. There was only one other couple in the whole restaurant.

    Loved their brunch menu! We had the old style French Toast infused with jack Daniels whiskey & May…read moremolasses topped with a Dulce de leche crema The carnitas Benedict was super tasty. The salsa is on point with a savory kick that doesn't overpower.

    Wow! This may be the best cocktail bar in the city. It is a full vibe that must be experienced…read more Craft cocktails in a charming, warm, inviting space similar to a Victorian era home back in the 1900s. Service is impeccable. They do a tremendous job of explaining the menu and food options in detail, and ensure you have a great experience from start to finish. The drinks? Nothing short of amazing. They vary the featured cocktails menu every 8 weeks, so most likely you'll get a different experience every time you go. However you can always get your classic cocktails like Margaritas, French 75 and Martinis. They also can do any drink NA which is the first of its kind in the US. They have an option called dealers choice, where you can pick the spirit and flavor profile of the drink you want: spicy, sour, floral, smoky etc. no limits! You write down on a card what you want and they craft you a cocktail based on your selections. They also offer a variety of food pairings to go along with the select, featured drink you order. We got spring rolls, a braised, pork infused doughnut, and an incredible bone broth that still has me in a tizzy. Fair warning: it's small and difficult to get a reservation - don't try your luck walking in, this place is a hot ticket and you won't be able to get in without a resy, which could be weeks or months out. This is a true gem of a cocktail bar, and is as good as anything you would find in New York or Chicago.

    Liked the vibe - reminds me of shakers cigar bar but without all the smoke (like, a bit spooky,…read moreold, maybe haunted but also very cool). We stopped here after dinner, so we stuck mostly with the cocktails. Unfortunately, nothing on the seasonal menu really stuck out to me. I stuck with the "traditional" cocktails (spicy watermelon bubblegum, and then banana daiquiri). Hubs went for the halo halo food (which was so cute! All the typical ingredients but served in cubist fashion), and the paired drink. The paired drink was supposed to have different layers of flavor, but they all mixed together quite a bit. Tasty, just not the "layered" experience we thought. I think they almost do themselves a disservice comparing themselves to the aviary - that is a crazy high bar to meet. Granted, maybe we would have been more impressed if we had more of the seasonal cocktails despite them not seeming interesting? Probably wouldnt go out of my way to go here again, but it is a cool vibe and the cocktails were good.
