About Blue Bat Kitchen & Tequilaria

Blue Bat Kitchen & Tequilaria provides a warm and relaxed atmosphere for dining. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, including short ribs, mojo pork, poke nachos, and chimichurri chicken salad. While some dishes, like the chimichurri chicken salad, may not meet expectations for flavor, others such as the street corn appetizer and shrimp bao buns are highly praised. The tuna poke nachos are a popular starter, and the house margaritas are always enjoyed. The patio is a great spot for drinks, although service outside can be slow, especially when ordering drinks. Inside, the decor and vibe are on point, creating a nice environment for a night out or late lunch. The staff is generally friendly and attentive, with some service experiences outside being less smooth. Overall, Blue Bat is a good choice for those seeking tasty food, good drinks, and a scenic setting in Milwaukee’s Third Ward.

We told her about the undercooked app but we were hungry...read full review

Ordered the spare rib bowl, was served 3 chunks of spare rib meat with my meal, however, one of the 3 pieces was nothing but fat. The flavor was good and the portions of meat that I got were tender, but the sauce was extremely salty.

Our waiter was very inattentive of our table, and was friendly but awkward.

Overall, I would rate it 2/10 stars only because...read full review
