28 Best Cocktail Bars near Greendale

“Great service - Cameron took excellent care of us!“

“Classic lounge energy with surprisingly solid bites. I grabbed a small plate alongside a drink and it hit the spot—simple, savory, and well-timed. Dim lights, old-school vibes, and a pace that encourages lingering. Feels timeless in a good way.“

“One of the best bars in the area. All the drinks are great, you can’t go wrong. Just order what you like and they’ll make one of the best you’ve had. They change their menu about quarterly and have really unique drinks. Great old fashioneds! They also frequently have food, but check their Facebook page to see what’s happening.“

“Great quality tequila for all the fantasic house cocktails!!“

“Go here all the time. Fantastic and fun atmosphere, and is my go to“

“Best Old fashioned in the state of Wisconsin“

“I just had my 50th birthday party here, and if I could give 10 stars I absolutely would. The owners were incredibly accommodating throughout the entire process, and checked in frequently throughout the night to make sure we had everything we needed. The food we ordered was fantastic, and the service from the main bartender, Tony, was nothing short of exemplary. I'd recommend this place to anyone, and now that I'm familiar with it, I look forward to taking advantage of all the activities they have to offer throughout the month. Just a fantastic place!!!“

“Stopped in for their Miracle on 2nd St holiday pop-up. We only had to wait about 5-10min for a table, but it does get busy fast, especially on weekends.

They had several seasonal cocktails in special festive cups, which you could also buy to take home.

I got the Cheery Cherry Chocosaurus, which was good, but pricey for what it was. Almost all the seasonal drinks were $15 each and didn’t seem too big.

The venue itself is medium sized, but feels crammed quickly. There’s more people let in at a time than there is seating, so you have to move fast to get a seat.

I’ll likely come back during the summer to try something else.“

“Love this Bay View gem. Great vibes, music, and overall ambience.

Unique, tasty drinks - expect a wait to order at center of bar area. Staff work hard to get drinks out.

Sad to see Maya Ophelia’s vegan food truck go though! Twas such a great compliment to this establishment.“

“The atmosphere is amazing, drinks are wonderful and it’s an all around vibe.“

“This bar is one of Milwaukee's best bars. From the large selection of board games and the large outdoor seating/smoking area to the great vibe and killer service, this place ranks high up there for myself and lots of others. Great place to meet too, as it's easy to find. Highly recommend stopping in sometime to see for yourself if you've never been.“

“I was able to try this place for the first time last weekend and it was awesome! Sugar Maple does a lot of cool pop ups. We went to the Strangers Things one. The cocktails were so fun and tasty. The staff and owner were all so kind!
Highly recommend!“

“Great cocktails and beer, cozy vibes, and a cute outdoor patio. Dog-friendly inside and out! They also do a deal on Mondays where you get a dollar off your drinks if you bring a book. Lots of non-alcoholic, THC, and gluten-free options. They have a couple snacks, but allow you to bring in food from neighboring restaurants.“

“My husband and I came from central IL for work but turned it into a date night. We had so much fun at Lost Whale! We tried nearly all of the cocktails (some twice) and fell in love with the shooters!
We're planning a trip back because we also feel in love with the area and want to explore! Thanks for a great Friday night!“

“What an excellent venue and a fantastic show. Great customer service. We will definitely be back. Marquee & The Moonlighters were so talented. We will definitely be back. A great date night.“

“This is a great music venue, and quite possibly the best Italian restaurant in town. That’s a great combo!“

“Best neighborhood bar ever !! A go to when in the area !!“

“We stopped at Boone & Crockett on a Sunday shortly after they opened. The atmosphere was very welcoming and the bartender was really friendly! We got the sazerac and a mocktail - both were delicious.
We’ve also attended events at The Cooperage and it’s always great - food and drinks, atmosphere 10/10.

Highly recommend - a Milwaukee staple!“

“Bibi is the absolute best! We absolutely adore her! She makes the bar what it is with her Bubbly personality, tasty bloody Mary’s (even late night) and her fresh friendly conversation. The bar chairs could use more options for the disabled customers they have, but overall A++ for customer service and good quality.“

“I absolutely deleted their Puerto Rican pulled pork sliders. Insanely delicious, 9.4/10“

“Yep yep“

“Great atmosphere and amazing friendly staff. Owner Ben makes sure you have a great experience!“

“I've never been to Milwaukee. I asked where I could get a true Milwaukee meal experience and was directed to The Vanguard. it was fantastic and Kelly was an absolute gem of a person.“

“Bartenders cute“

“So the review written by "Being Still", I was there with this person. The restaurant reached out to this person through Messenger, but because they blocked Being Still, there is no way to respond to them. And they took the comments off their facebook page and blocked Being Still.... nice.... Seems sneaky to not leave a honest review up for people to see the conversations, but to only have the good ones on your Facebook page. Instead of having to go look in the review section to find honest reviews.“

“First time there! Had a great time! Was there for the whole afternoon! Such a good time! The owner takes pride in his Bloody Mary's 🙂 The bartender, Lexi, was awesome! Thanks for a great day!“

“free pool..🙂...friendly staff“

“Great happy hour 4-7pm Tuesday thru Friday. And the same happy hour Friday and Saturday after 9pm! We were so surprised when we got two craft beers and a domestic for only $10! Decorated nicely and also has pool and darts. My only complaint was that it smelled a little smokey.“
