“We dropped in for their Christmas pop-up.
They really take it to the next level! We had to wait in a small entryway for about 15 minutes before we snagged a table. Highly recommend getting there early for the Christmas pop-up.

It was worth the wait! The drinks were perfectly crafted and the decorations had me in awe.“

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.“

“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!“

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!“
