Such a lovely place for a unique wine and/or cocktail. You do you, my friend! Please look at their wine menu. Brilliant. I don't know who writes the descriptions for each wine, but I laugh for a ridiculous amount of time. Well done, writer! I do appreciate, knowing little about wine, the expertise of the bartenders as well as their willingness to answer my numerous questions. A fantastic place to stop and have a lovely glass of wine in Bayview. Located in such a wonderful area! Go there! Read the menu! And enjoy your drink! read more

What a great wine bar in Bay View! Mondays they have happy hour all day and you can get a craft of house wine for $15. Such a great deal and you are surrounded by such great people. I would recommend this place for a post dinner date or even catching up with friends over a glass of wine/ charcuterie board. read more

Great drinks that would be even more enjoyable if the bartenders didn't have such terrible attitudes.

Had a great time at Voyager to enjoy a night cap after a date night! I loved the moody lighting and casual but classy space. The wine was great and there were plenty of options at different price points. We had a glass of red wine and chatted while enjoying our surroundings. The bartender was kind and helpful. I will be back for their happy hour! read more

Worth a visit just to read the descriptions on the menu. Went on a Saturday night and it was a lot livelier than I expected. It is cute inside. The music was great and the servers were kind. Love their political views and how open they are with them as well! read more

I love this wine bar. Nothing beats a hot summer day sitting outside at their outdoor seating area. It's right in the heart of beautiful. So if you're looking for a quick beverage before a dinner reservation or just to go having the hour cocktail this is the place. If you're looking for food, they do have an open refrigerator that offers options to make a charcuterie board a la carte which is a really neat feature. This place is a Bayview gem. If you haven't been there you should definitely check it out. read more

Stopped in after dinner for some wine and had a cheese plate. It's a cozy spot that's not to loud so perfect for catching up with friends/loved ones. There are cases of cheese and meat and they put it together for you into a nice little plate. I had a glass of bubbles it was reasonable at $11. You order at the bar and then sit down. I personally really liked this spot no frills but just a nice spot to hangout and visit with cheese and wine. read more

I stopped in for a quick drink on a Tuesday night and I love this place! The ambiance is so calm and intimate but the space is open and inviting. There's big open windows along one wall letting in lots of light (or a good view of the rain tonight). The bartender was very sweet and helpful in choosing my wine and the wine descriptions are hilarious. read more

Finally got around to trying Voyager, as I've heard the ambiance is amazing. They were so correct!! The hippie, plant vibes just instantly relaxes you when you walk in. Even on a busy night, my friend and I felt seen. This place is a great place for date night. The wine selections are amazing. I can't wait to try more when I get back here. The bartender was amazing, although I do not remember his name. I also got a spritz, which is a fav of mine. read more

We went on a Friday night around 7 and it was so lively, the bar was full. The bartender was so helpful and nice! He made us some delicious cocktails and we got a bottle of wine for an affordable price. This is such a good spot to get drinks with friends after dinner and has a plethora of wine options! read more

Another great experience at Voyager. We really love the atmosphere, wine, and charcuterie snacks. The same bartender (owner?) has been there each time we visit and he's great! Wonderful local spot. read more

This place had a cool vibe, and was a need spot to catch up with a friend. For a wine bar their wine list was fairly small and not very impressive, but overall we had a good time. read more

Wine selection is phenomenal and they have other great options for non wine drinkers. Seating inside and out with lovely ambience. So glad they are doing well! read more

Highlights 1. Cozy Atmosphere 2. Great Wine Selection 3. Conveniently Located in BayView Voyager is one of my favorite wine bars in Milwaukee! Conveniently located just off of KK means there are plenty of dining options nearby to grab dinner/lunch before or after enjoying a glass (or two) of wine at Voyager. This last time I was at Voyager was for a Thursday night holiday happy hour. Voyager sets up tables outside in the summer but I love coming here in the winter because the atmosphere is so warm and cozy. We arrived around 6:15pm and it was already quite busy! You order drinks at the bar and I also grabbed a selection of cheese from the cooler. There isn't a "food menu" per se but they have a whole cooler full of cheeses, salamis, olives etc. and you can bring your items to the bar for cutlery and a tray. The wine by the glass, carafe or bottle selection is great and there are always fun wines to try! We love Voyager and will keep coming back! read more

I don't like wine. Not a problem -- I don't feel like I'm missing out because the cocktails are excellent. Friendly staff and great dog-friendly ambiance! read more

This beautiful bar is a hidden gem in the bayview area. The walls are covered in beautiful and interesting wines and lots of greenery. Happy hour is from 2-5 every day and we managed to snag a delicious carafe of rose for this sunny Sunday. The menu features a variety of wines and cocktails as well. The owners are present as they tend bar and create new events, often with a focus on supporting local. Their new Saturday outdoor market will continue through the summer and it's definitely on my list to come back and check out. This little bar is cozy and beautiful, great spot for dates or girls nights and an awesome vibe!! read more

Cute wine bar in Bayview. I went here to celebrate a friend's birthday and was pleasantly surprised by how nice it was. They have a large menu and the bartenders are extremely helpful. They also have a nice selection of food to make your own charcuterie board. read more

Voyager has the perfect atmosphere for a wine bar in downtown Bayview. They have a wide selection of wines, craft cocktails and NA options- truly something for everyone. I loved that they have a fridge full of cheese and sausages that you can purchase and turn into a charcuterie board to enjoy with your drinks. This would be a perfect spot for a date or anniversary celebration. The bartenders were friendly and made some delicious old fashions! read more

I stopped into the Voyager for a couple of drinks on a balmy Monday night in March. With a modern, European vibe, Voyager was my kind of place. After a couple of vodka cocktails, I wanted to purchase a bottle of wine as I will do what I can to support local businesses. The patrons appeared to know each other, and they weren't particularly kind to strangers. Of course, my age doesn't encourage warmth from younger members of the human race. In this country, older people are scorned rather than revered. Maxwell was our bartender, and he was polite, attentive, but not very warm. Although, his warmth was awarded to others at the Voyager bar. I ended up buying a nice Chardonnay to take home. I tipped 20% on everything including the wine, but that didn't appease Maxwell. I was a stranger in a strange land. However, I liked the Voyager, and I will return with expectations for a good drink and nothing more. The Voyager likes its locals to be between 25 and 38. Although I don't fit the demographic, this is a cool place for Bay View and particularly K.K. read more

This is a great place to come with one or two other people to sit and chat and drink wine if you like any type of wine. If you're like me and like the sweeter wines such as Moscatos, this might not be your favorite place. They did have some "sweet" wines that I was able to slowly (and I mean slowly) drink and manage to finish a glass of but it wasn't what I would have preferred. Definitely worth checking out though! read more

Man, do I love this place. It's just perfect. It's exactly what I want a wine bar to be: great wine, great prices, great ambiance. The space is very small (only a handful of tables), but very cozy. The staff is very knowledgable about their products, and honestly just great to chat with! They have happy hour with house wine for $7/glass or $11/carafe. And let me tell you, you want the carafe (it holds about 3 glasses of wine, so it's definitely worth it!). Voyager also has a build-it-yourself charcuterie board station. You can select any items for purchase - crackers, cheeses, olives, gherkins, you name it! You can buy as little or as much as you want. I've never seen another place that is set up this way, but it's just so charming! Honestly, I have nothing bad to say about this place. It's a solid bet for any happy hour, date night, or wine club outing. read more

This is my first visit to Voyager and I will definitely be back! The inside is so cute and inviting. There is a large bar and several small tables for seating. It would be a great place for a date night or catching up with your friends. Everyday there is a happy hour from 2-5 pm where house wine is $7 a glass or $11 for a carafe, all other wines and cocktails are $3 off at that time as well. Not a wine drinker, there are cocktails and a beer selection as well. During the nicer weather, you can enjoy your drinks outside too. read more

I really want to love this place. Great location. Super cute inside. But I can't support their Covid fee. I understand the need to clean and disinfect. I am more than willing to pay a service fee for this to help the business provide a safe environment for all. But a 9.9% fee added to the bill for "in house consumption" to Covid clean? That's insane. You can't tell me that a $50 bill incurs more cleaning than a $10 bill. Charge a $2.00 fee per person. Don't penalize me for wanting to spend more money at your establishment! read more

I have only ever gone here for happy hour and I absolutely love it! The prices during happy hour are fantastic and each time I've gone, they offer a variety of red, rose, and sparkling wines. It's a cozy place to sit and unwind with friends and the staff is extremely welcoming. If you have any question about the wines on the menu, they're more than happy to fill you in on the origins and all of the flavor hints and notes to expect. The food/bar snacks offered are meant to be a compliment to the wine rather than the main event, so make sure you're not starving when you walk in! The inside isn't huge, so I would imagine it fills up quickly later in the evening, but it's a great spot to hit before dinner if you're looking for a comfortable place to relax. If you're looking for a calm, cozy place to get a great glass of wine, this is the place to go! read more

Cute place but 9.9% VAT for COVID restart. WTF! On principle only I won't go back. More I spend the more I get surtaxed. Charge extra 1$ per glass so I don't have to see the charges or flat 2$ per customer. That seems reasonable. Let me know when the Covid tax is gone. read more

I can't believe no one has reviewd this gem yet! If you like wine and craft cocktails, this is a must. The owners know their wine and offer unique and affordable wines by the glass and a smaller list of craft cocktails. I visited for the first time about two months ago and cannot remember if they had beer or not! The vibe and music are great ... the owners and other bartenders are super friendly. Check this place out! They typically have weekly specials and also offer "snacks" (oysters included on some days!) read more

The owners and bartenders are so nice and extremely knowledgeable. Fancy wine at reasonable prices. In my opinion, the first great official wine bar in MKE. read more

I could've sworn I wrote a review of this place after I visited back when it first opened...Anyway it's great! Perfect for a first date spot or just to kick back and have a chill drink with friends. They obviously have the wine selection but there were a few beers as well. Think I had a sour from Anderson Valley and some light bar snacks. Definitely a solid option in the area. read more

I am so glad this space is in Bay View! I'd been in and out with friends during various neighborhood events, but last week had the chance to stop in for a proper drink! The vibe is excellent - chill, while still lively. The bartender (Ryan) was absolutely fantastic. I am both picky and not knowledgable about wine, and he was able to make a selection (non-sweet, non-dry, sparkling prosecco) that absolutely met what I wanted - this is exceptional. He also maintained an ongoing conversation with my friends while providing exceptional service! The owner is friendly and supervises without being awkward or overbearing. I do wish there was a bit more in the way of food - or at least a bit more in the way of gluten free snacks (maybe just add the option of gluten free crackers to the charcuterie plate?). Otherwise, fantastic spot and a beautiful alternative for when you don't want beer. read more

I really like it here! The vibe is casual yet rather sleek. The bartenders have all been super nice and helpful. I've come in for a glass of wine twice and think it might be one of my favorite wine bars in MKE. It's casual enough, young, but not overwhelming. The staff isn't too wine-jargon-y when they talk to you. Yet, I've tried unique and interesting wines here that aren't readily available and just think it's a cool place to grab some wine (or cocktails - those looked good as well though I've yet to try)! read more

We went here for the first time tonight. In all honesty, the place is fantastic, the wine selection was great, my GF is a wine snob and she liked it as did her friends. The happy hour oysters were a great size and the sauces were truly great. Just one thing, can you turn the f---ing music down just a bit so your patrons can carry on a decent conversation!!!! As a former rock musician, believe me, I get, I too love loud music, but not in a nice cool place like yours where I would like to sit for hours and spend lots of money, if only I could carry on a decent conversation with my GF and other friends. You do that n I'll give you 6 stars next time!!! read more

Second time here and every single wine has been not only amazing to drink, but insanely spot on in description. Friendly and welcoming upon arrival. Amazingly, not a single wine we have tried has been less than something I still think about days later. Definitely worth checking out, and no way you won't want to go back! read more

Beautiful new wine bar right where it should be, an excellent addition to the neighborhood, long overdue. When you're in the mood for a glass of wine and want to try some great ones, this is the place to go when you're in this part of town. We really enjoyed our time here and will definitely come back. Our second server was knowledgeable and made great suggestions (our first server admitted he knew absolutely nothing when we asked him for recommendations and he went and got the other server to answer our questions). The bathroom selection is interesting - two WCs. No Men's, no Women's - just WC on each door (see photo). We did not try any of the food, so I can't say if this place is good for vegetarians or vegans. As I was walking out I glanced at the menu board and thought it said something about oysters, and they don't yet have a menu posted on the web anywhere I could find, but a newspaper review said, "...cheese and charcuterie, a few pates and snacks including marinated olives and spiced nuts." So make of that what you will. read more
