14 Best Cocktail Bars near Mequon

“We assembled family from out of town to celebrate my brother and SIL's 43rd wedding anniversary. We ordered several small plates to serve as appetizers for our group of 6. Plates emptied while we oood and ahhhed each delectable choice. Entrees were just as enjoyable. Cocktails spot on and a few desserts made it around far sampling. Servers were outstanding and the ambiance, relaxed. We were there on a Wednsday, reservations are recommended. Some folks dining outside, enjoying one of the few comfortable evenings left in Wisconsin. Will definitely return as well as share the experience with others!“

“Great place to eat! They were amazing with our group of 40. Food is absolutely amazing and it’s our 3rd trip here. Amber“

“Royal Street MKE formally Daq Shack MKE underwent a beautiful transformation inside but the heart, quality of food and service are the same...wonderful! It's always like visiting family here, the main bartender always remembers us even though we only come a couple times a year when in the area. Food is always fresh, hot and delicious. Absolutely go if you're in Milwaukee try all the flavors they provide with the daiquiris.“

“We stopped off for a drink when we were visiting from Scotland, UK this February in the snow. The B&B leaflet says “arrive a guest, leave as a friend” and even for us who just stopped for a couple of drinks, that is how we felt. We were greeted with a smile, the atmosphere was brilliant and many of the locals were happy to chat to us. What a wonderful place, thank you for the welcome. Next time we will stay in their B&B, The Stagecoach Inn.“

“Bartenders cute“

“My first experience here was great, the bartenders were friendly and fun, the food was cooked perfect and tasted just as good as it looked (I forgot to take pics and just dug right in) will definitely be back!!“

“I’d been eyeing this place since we booked our stay in Cedarburg months ago. We came in from St. Louis and I knew I wanted to have birthday drinks with my husband and kiddo here on Wednesday evening when we were in town! It didn’t disappoint. The wildfire smoke had cleared quite a bit, the sky was sparkling, and it was a gorgeous evening to sit on the patio and enjoy our drinks. I had the spritzer, my husband had the summer Mule, and our son had the kiddie cocktail with cotton candy. The overall vibe of the place is just perfection, from the second you walk inside until you find a spot to hang on the patio. I wish we didn’t live six hours away. We’d be regulars! Thanks for a happy birthday memory, Art of Joy!“

“Excellent addition to Shorewood. The flavors, the service… Love it.“

“They are dog friendly and have consistently had good options on tap. Do know that they are a bar only, not a resturaunt. They have bags of chips for sale, but no food food. I like it because I like having a place out that I can take my dog. Dogs allowed inside and out on the patio.“

“Don't know why this place has three dollar signs. It's incredibly cheap! $4 for pretty much everything (20 craft taps, well/rail drinks, and wine). They have a great selection of 20 rotating craft beer taps for $4, and also offer growler fills. It's hard to go wrong here.“

“My friend and I visited brunch this am and sat at the bar with Dave as our bartender. Even though it was extremely busy he was very friendly and ensured we had everything we needed throughout our meal from drinks to our food. He was an amazing bartender and enhanced our experience this morning. Carrie was also another worker at Toast behind the bar who would make friendly convo with me and my friend. Despite the business, they were calm and friendly staff members and we would definitely go back because of their service. Thank you Dave and Carrie!

I don’t think the manager this morning seemed very respectful or friendly towards staff with the business. I commend Dave and Carrie for keeping such a positive attitude and being such hard workers.“

“What an unexpected gem this place was! We were in town for an appointment and found this restaurant on Google Maps. It was not only delicious, but the staff was very friendly, helpful and just a pleasure to be with. I believe our server was Claire, and she was just a joy to talk to. If in town, you really oughta give it a try!“

“Amazing place. Best drinks ever. Great charcuterie.“

“The food is amazing! Reasonably priced. However the wait times have been long the few times I’ve gone. One time it was about 15 minutes of sitting at our table before we even were greeted or got waters. Again, great food, just slow. Maybe they’re short staffed“
