Was just the vibe we were looking for! Had a great time here on Saturday night and enjoyed great food, drinks, & friendly service. We’ll definitely be back on our next day trip to MKE!

A nice assortment of tropical cocktails. The vibe inside is uniquely Urban-Caribbean. Fun games at the tables like dominoes and Connect Four.

Pretty sad how people are leaving legit reviews on here and the owner has the audacity to comment on the review and say it never happened 😂🤡 What a Joke. This place makes excuses for its burnt chicken. I guess the nature of the seasoning is what made it look and taste burnt 🥱😬🥴 Jon Taffer would be disappointed. People who can't act like professionals shouldn't be in the bar business. You don't understand how goofy you are making yourself look with the responses you are posting on here.

I would stay away from this place never gonna go back. I bought a $12 drink and she charged me $17. I questioned it and she said it’s taxes and the tip. It does not cost that much when I was giving her cash in a a tip, When do people charge you for one drink and already add taxes and gratuity to it. She added another $5 to my bill.

Advertised as a low music lounge but the music is always blasting everything but authentic jamacian music and I spent 30 minutes trying to talk to the person next to me without having to scream at each other. Table games are dirty and missing pieces.

Here for a work trip and came across this location while walking. My goodness, amazing food, great bartenders and amazing atmosphere. The hidden gem of Milwaukee. A must try on the jerk wings. Pick your poison. Dry or sauce. You won't be disappointed.

Tropic truly exceeded our expectations! After picking up my cousin from the airport, the three of us (two from out of town, Georgia and Arizona!) weren’t quite ready to call it a night. It was after 11 p.m., and we decided to enjoy the warm night air and walk around downtown Milwaukee near Water Street to see what was open.
Honestly, we were a little hesitant to go anywhere because we assumed most spots would be filled with a much younger crowd. As 70s babies, we were worried we’d feel out of place. However, we found Tropic and decided to give it a try. We are glad we did!
The vibe was just right. The crowd felt like they were mostly 80s babies. Grown but still ready to have a good time and we felt totally comfortable. The food was delicious, the drinks were and tasty, and the hospitality was everything. DJ Ray Nitty had the place rocking, and the hype man brought the perfect energy. Even the security was super nice.
It ended up being the perfect late-night find. What started as a quick stroll turned into a full night of good food, good music, and even better vibes. If you’re looking for a spot downtown that feels welcoming, fun, and just the right mix of grown and lively? Tropic is it! Thank you for an amazing experience
Food was delicious, environment was chill and well lit, employees very friendly and helpful.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tropic Lounge has truly been a gem in my sobriety journey.
When I first made the decision to stop drinking, I was nervous about how I’d still be able to enjoy a night out. Tropic Lounge was one of the first places that offered nonalcoholic options that didn’t feel like an afterthought and the presentation was everything! It made me realize that sobriety doesn’t have to mean lack, and that I could still enjoy myself socially without pressure.
The staff here is always respectful and treats you like family. I even held my very first Sober event at Tropic Lounge because of how inclusive and welcoming the environment is.
Now, let’s talk about the food—the jerk wings are absolutely delicious, especially with that flavorful jerk sauce. I dip my fries and even my Jamaican beef patty in that sauce! 🔥
The owner, Hyacinth, is one of the most personable and down-to-earth people you’ll ever meet. She truly gets it—how important it is to feel accepted and supported.
This place is a whole vibe. Safe, inclusive, and full of flavor. I’ll continue recommending Tropic Lounge to everyone I know. 💜

I had a great time celebrating my friend at Tropic Lounge. For months after going I dreamed about the jerk wings and pizza until I went back and they were just as good. I’m proud to support this woman owned local establishment! 👏❤️
