Love this bar! It has the vibes of a cocktail bar meets five and is very cozy inside! The drinks are well priced and the bartenders are friendly! Highly recommend this place!

Maria restored my faith in rum with her incredible interpretation of a classic Mai Tai. Plantation Pineapple was a great twist. I just wish it wasn't Wednesday so I could have more

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!

I love going here because the bartenders expect you to know how to behave, and when you show that you are able to function like a normal, well liked human being, they treat you oh so well and give you tasty drinks.

Not once did I feel compelled to reach over the bar and touch their stuff and put it to my face because I am able to be a nice person when I leave the confines of my own household.

I’ve been here quite a few times and always have a great time. Wish I lived closer. Their drink menu is creative, ever evolving and amazing. All the bartenders are super attentive and fun. The overall vibe is welcoming, hip and cozy. Don’t miss a chance to check this cool bar out.

Took my friend here on her birthday, there were two bartenders a female and a male she was training. The male was nice, gave us menu when we sat down and time to view them. On the bar, there was a three tiered shelf that had cinnamon sticks and multiple bottles with different labels such as peppermint and other scents, to the both of us it looked like it was either essential oils or something you could burn to enjoy the scent, and there was no sign or note on it saying otherwise, I grabbed one of them And proceeded to smell it. The very prissy,snarky and downright rude female bartender game out from the back and said, “ ummmmm no, we probably shouldn’t put our nose on that, since we use it to make people’s drinks” while simultaneously grabbing the bottle from my hand. She then said, now I have to clean that and walked away. She then Proceeded to talk quietly to the other bartender about my friend and I while giving us dirty looks. Well….Maybe you shouldn’t have items you use to make drinks for customers, on the customer portion of the bar; without a sign that explains not to touch. Also, maybe you should get nicer less pretentious bartenders, this isn’t the first time I’ve encountered a rude bartender at this bar, but it will be the last since it’s the last time I will ever go there.

This was kinda of a funky bar which I liked. The atmosphere was cool. The drinks they had were also cool. Although we had to order at the bar so we never got back to our seats.

Had a great experience at the Lost Whale. Drinks were made with perfection. I love how they have specialty cocktails that taste good and pack a punch. Definitely would visit again.

Drinks were very unique and good! We went during the happy hour to enjoy 1/2 off select drinks. Couldn't pass up getting our photo on the wall and pull tabs! ✨️

Fabulous, beautiful craft cocktails and always the friendliest service. Easily one of my favorite watering holes in Milwaukee!

Lost Whale is a Bay View Staple when it comes to the bar scene! It's a fantastic cocktail bar with some of the best drinks in the City of Milwaukee! Between the backyard patio and the cozy bar, there is never a time of year you can't be comfortable here! The staff & bartenders are incredibly nice and fun to hang out with. Lost Whale also now has a resident food truck in the back to keep you full while hanging out!

Lost Whale also let us rent the bar out for a night so we could host our engagement part there! I would be willing to bet that every single person we invited had one of the best nights of their life!

Regardless if you are a local or visiting Milwaukee, Lost Whale should be a bar that's on your MUST VISIT list!
