Funky, friendly and fun! The best place we could have waited out a historic climate change event.

Thank you to the whole crew for an absolutely fantastic night at this bar. We rolled in as a group of 10 and the staff had absolutely no problem handling things. They were incredibly grounded, helpful, and kind the entire night, and the drinks were all perfect. Couldn't be happier with the time we spent here on our visit. We'll definitely be back. The bowling is super fun by the way! Definitely give it a try.

Really awesome service — personable bartenders and amazing ambiance. Very retro styled, relaxing vibe with fairly priced drinks. They accommodated our massive group adeptly. Very much recommend!

This is the cutest little date spot! I came here on a recommendation and I fell in love with the atmosphere, the cute retro bowling, and the staff. The drinks were delicious and incredibly reasonable for craft cocktails. I ended up finishing two drinks, and then sticking around drinking water for quite awhile -and at no point did the staff make me feel weird or try to push me out as I was sobering up. In fact, they were incredibly kind and engaged and fun to talk to. I can't wait to come back!

I visited The Pink Squirrel with a friend last week while bar hopping, and I have to say the staff is amazing, and the drinks are fantastic! You can really tell that they put a lot of care into crafting their drinks. Since it was National Margarita Day, we had margaritas, and they were incredible. Our bartender, Ricky (hope I got your name right!), recommended the Millionaire Cocktail, which I really enjoyed. The bar also has Duckpin Bowling! We didn’t play this time, but next time, we’ll definitely check it out along with the great atmosphere. Highly recommend the vibes here! Thanks to the team!
SO CUTE! Retro Wisconsin boozy ice cream drinks, comfy cute booths, and mini bowling.

Fun cocktails, cuter atmosphere! So fun for bowling and trying a fun old fashioned cocktail. We came for the tinsel town pop up. My mom loved it too! Definitely will be back to try some more fun drinks or when they have a fun themed night again!

Only certain races are asked for ID: if you're white and underaged, you can walk in and order drinks here without being carded! What a beautiful privilege. From the moment I walked in, I was met with hostility and suspicion: “I need to see ID. Do you have a reservation???” The tone made it crystal clear—I wasn’t welcome.
Contrast this with my white friend, who arrived just before me. When I mentioned how aggressively I was greeted, she looked genuinely confused: “What? They didn’t say anything to me. I just sat down.”
I decided to confront the bartender about this obvious discrepancy. I asked, “What’s the criteria for asking someone for ID?” The response? “Anyone who walks in that door.” So I pointed out the glaring issue: “My friend literally just walked in and sat down without being asked anything.” The bartender fumbled with a weak, dismissive excuse: “Well, I’m sorry, but she should’ve been.”
This is more than just bad customer service—it’s systemic bias masquerading as “policy.” The dismissive attitude, the double standard, the lack of accountability—it’s all a loud reminder that places like this perpetuate exclusion under the guise of professionalism.
Avoid this place if you value basic respect. They’ve made it clear who they want in their space—and who they don’t.

I’m normally not one to leave a 1 star review, but this was such a bad experience I don’t want others to make the same mistake as I did. I made reservations for a Friday before Christmas to experience their Tinsel Town pop up- all photos I saw were spectacular. The only option to reserve required a prepayment for a $35 per person ($47 after required tax and tip) cookie decorating experience that had 1 cocktail and one shot.
The drink looked like a radioactive Mountain Dew drink from Taco Bell Cantina and tasted like a Halls cough drop. The “milk and cookies” shot tasted like Lemon pledge. I think the prepackaged cookie set came from Amazon. Not all bars should create their own cocktails if they are this bad. When the server asked how the drinks were, I said “like a Halls.” She never asked us how we were doing after that. We made the most by decorating our cookies by how we felt about the experience.
Really a disappointing overpriced experience.

Made a reservation with some friends to do the Tinsel Town cookie decorating. The drinks were good and the cookie decorating was fun, but just as we were getting into it we were notified that we would have to give up our booth soon for the next group. I checked and nowhere on the website or confirmation email did it say we would only have only one hour. That was really disappointing. We were told we could just hang out in the back where we could take photos. Unfortunately there wasn't much in the back other than the smelly bathrooms with one spot for a picture. The night quickly turned awkward as there was nowhere to stand without getting in the way for the people going to the bathroom and getting kicked out of our booth.
