14 Best Cocktail Bars near Hales Corners

“A little late to post but I threw a surprise birthday party for my husband in February at Charmbiance. They were so easy to work with and very reasonably priced for 50-60 people or so. They let a few people come in early to decorate the place and food was served on time and was exactly what we talked about. Would highly recommend this place for your next gathering. 10/10“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Idk if this place serves food but I’m doing 5 stars for the drinks.
Me and my partner came here on a whim the other night and it exceeded our expectations. The Halloween decor was awesome and the drinks were super good and only $7! We are bartenders from Minneapolis where a good cocktail these days will easily run you up to $20 per drink so we were actually pretty blown away at that price point considering the drinks were on par with any other upscale cocktail bar. 100% will be coming back next time we are in the city!“

“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!“

“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!“
