31 Best Wine Bars in Milwaukee

“My husband and I met a sweet couple at a wine pairing last night who told us about their favorite Italian restaurant, Zarletti and said we should make sure we went when Brian was working behind the bar. We ended up going with them that night and had not only the best Italian food we've ever tasted, but probably one of the best meals! We all sat at the bar and understood why they loved this place and Brian! Outstanding staff, atmosphere, and food! Confident this will be our new favorite place!“

“My second visit to this spectacular place! There are a very few, very special hotels out there -almost like people - with their own charm and character and personality. The Saint Kate is your fabulous, gorgeous, kind, wildly-creative friend with amazing style and a heart-felt smile for everyone, who manages to make you feel special just by proximity. Thanks again, SK, for a memorable visit, outrageous art, a delightful room, divinely unique detail, crazy comfy bed, fantastic lounge music and delicious food. A special shout out to Clay, the truly gracious and hospitable day bartender whose warmth, welcome and insights on the city absolutely made our stay. What a great representation of your brand you have in him! Thanks also to Grace and the super-on-top-of-everything front desk (Madelyn, Ava, Theo and team) for a superlative stay. Look forward to seeing y’all next year!“

I love the wine selections here, a wide variety and the prices aren't intimidating at ALL! Easily went through 2 bottles with a couple friends, NO SHAME. Back patio is PERFECT for nice weather days. Such a dark and moody intimate setting. Ten outta ten, COMING HERE AGAIN! 🍷💦“

“We hosted our 6/7/2024 wedding rehearsal dinner at Indulge Event Venue. The space was perfect for our 25 person group for cocktails and buffet dinner. This venue allows for a more intimate, private event feel with high-quality service. We opted for their Italian catering menu and everything was delicious. We’d recommend for your next event!“

“Champagne flight. Try the pineapple mimosa.“

“Can't speak much about their lunch or dinner, but breakfast at Craft is awesome! We stayed at the The Trade Hotel for 9 days and have tried every item on the breakfast menu. The short rib hash, Killbourn, and the breakfast burrito are my go-to items, but everything else is very solid as well and well priced. Coffee is free too. Plus friendly servers and quick service! Very impressed“

“I wanted to find a good meal in the Milwaukee airport (usually it's hard to come by one in the airport) and Vino Volo did not disappoint! The bruschetta was fresh and delicious. The soup was hot and wonderful. I could have had a few bowls. My waiter was also extremely nice and even gave me a fun glass for my ginger ale! Great services and I will definitely be going back again!“

They also brought us complimetary champagne for a toast and a beautiful complimentary dessert. Angela our waitress went above and beyond to make my mother feel special. And the food was amazing. Their Lobster Bisque is so good. Can't wait to go back.“

“Our favorite local restaurant. Unique and delicious menu with the best brunch!“

“My girlfriend and I came in for dinner and a drink. The truffle fries were good, would definitely get again. The pizza was also good, some of the best in Milwaukee.

“We had an incredible experience dining here! It is a very small, family-owned dining institution and we loved the atmosphere. The server and chef went out of their way to create a great, intentional, and special experience. The food was also incredible!“

“We used the Greige Patisserie for our November 2023 wedding in Oconomowoc, WI. They did our personal cutting cake and dessert bar. We mainly communicated with Miranda, who was very responsive, professional and helpful. The dessert tasting appointment was really fun to try out some of the more popular treats. They delivered and set-up all the desserts on wedding day and it looked perfect. The cake was absolutely beautiful and exactly like the inspo pictures we shared. The dessert bar was a hit and we had multiple guests talking about how good all the treats were all weekend. We had s’mores shooters, strawberry shortcake shooters, lemon bars, salted caramel tarts, snickerdoodle cookies and macarons. We would definitely recommend the Greige Patisserie to future couples. Thank you!!“

“Great relaxing environment. Everyone was so friendly in there and they have a great selection of drinks“

“The food was amazing! The staff was incredible! Very relaxed atmosphere. This is now one of my new favorite places for a Date Night with my spouse or even to just gather with my friends. 👏🏽💜“

“My partner and I went here for the first time today and it was AMAZING!!! We ordered the zucchini fritters, fried calamari, baked chicken, shrimp souvlaki, and got the tzatziki/Tarama/Tirokafteri dips w/ pita bread. Everything tasted impeccable and the presentation of the food was great! Atmosphere was perfect for the sunny day. I also got a Salty Cucumber cocktail and it was super refreshing and tasty. I literally don’t have a single bad thing to say about this spot. We also ordered a pound of the tzatziki spread to go and another pound of the tarama to go 🤣“

“If I lived in Milwaukee, I'd eat there all the time. Loved the eggplant.“

“amazing lasagna and friendly atmosphere and people“

“Great beer and food, and Brandon was an entertaining and informative tour guide!“

“I just came in for a martini. Perfectly made. Lovely view. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. If you are visiting town you need to make it here for a drink and the amazing view from the top of the Pfister Hotel. Cash isn't accepted, and there is no official dress code.“

“Great food and service! There are lots of options at different price points, so there is something for everyone!“

“My best friend and I have been visiting for 8+ years, since we were 14/15 years old! The fusilli is our absolute favorite, and we never go without a cheeseboard or the flourless chocolate cake. We have always had great service and it has made every celebration worth visiting Onestos! ❤️“
