Super cool little speakeasy. Would recommend the Arsonist’s Lullaby.

The ambiance of the bar is top notch with darkly dramatic lighting, everyone working was super nice and chill, interesting looking drinks... But my group of 3 just didn't like our cocktails. And unfortunately there was actually something about all of our drinks that kinda turned our stomachs a bit which caught us off guard and no one finished them. After we felt the need to get some sort of starch and detoured for unplanned pizza.Not sure what the issue was, we had eaten prior, weren't sick, not really a group of sensitive stomachs, certainly not new to drinking just... Something was off. I'll be back for the ambiance and the service, but I think I'll be sticking to the straight sake pours.

One of the truly unique places in Milwaukee, with a cozy, elegant, and authentic experience downtown Milwaukee. Additionally, they have a unique set of custom cocktails combining flavors and textures not typically seen in the drink scene. Strongly recommend reservations!

Loved the atmosphere. We had reservations for a Wednesday evening and had the place to ourselves. Enjoyed the drinks, plenty of unique options to choose from!

Such a sneaky place to get to, but it was awesome! I'm from out of town but some folks who were taking photos in Black Cat Alley steered me the right way, as I passed the entrance my first time around. We got seated toward the entrance door and we were shown the drinks and given plenty of time to choose and add on more drinks throughout the night. The ambiance was very relaxed, dim lit, and intimate. Most of the seating, as far as I could see, was against the wall like bar seating and two seat tables. Not sure about farther down the hall though. I believe it's reservation only, but they were easy to do online. We got some yummy drinks-- I especially loved the one I got if you're into sweet fruity cocktails. These had lychee popping jellies in them!

This place is slick as sh*t! Go here. The alley to lead here is magical and doesn't feel like Milwaukee. The drinks were amazing. My husband doesn't even like absenthe (sorry, my spelling sucks) and thinksIt was great. The sake drinks were great and I had gin. Which I swear by and would recommend to anyone. :). Do. It. Now. Do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars.
I understand it’s a speakeasy and reservations must be made via Instagram. I made a reservation for 4 for 745 and my friend made a reservation for 2 for 730. When I booked, reservations were available every 15 minutes. This place seems to be something you have to do if you don’t want to have dinner and then drinks. We showed up on a rainy Wednesday night and we’re told the 730 reservation was cancelled but we could all still come in but the 5 of us could not sit together. We went to Von Trier and had delicious drink and all sat together.

My sister and sister in law each made a reservation as we were going to have more than 4 people. There were reservations available every 15 min so I know they were not fully booked. The group ended up being 5 and they turned us away since we were 5 min late for one reservation and early for the other. The staff insisted it was 4 to a table and suggested one of our party sit alone at the bar. For a business with available reservations they seem to enjoy turning away business. Will not return.
