“So the review written by "Being Still", I was there with this person. The restaurant reached out to this person through Messenger, but because they blocked Being Still, there is no way to respond to them. And they took the comments off their facebook page and blocked Being Still.... nice.... Seems sneaky to not leave a honest review up for people to see the conversations, but to only have the good ones on your Facebook page. Instead of having to go look in the review section to find honest reviews.“

“A neighborhood bar that tries and comes out on top. Other bars just exist but this place keeps it going.. Its got great food and Pool tables and more than just the water'd beer and rail shots behind the bar. Cider and seltser selection is a little different too“

“You know what they say about first impressions, right? This place!!! Wow!!! To say I was impressed from the moment I walked in would be an understatement. From The smiling Hostess, to the table services… and then wait for it….. the FOOD!!!!! Outstanding, delicious, like yes, I am raving about this place. Ms. Freda was amazing from start to finish. I had #16! The white rice and beans, with the chicharrones, a thinly cut steak, a sausage chorizo, salad, plantains, and a taste of the yuca frita. OH MY OH MY OH MY!!! My hope really is that this place makes it for years to come and expands to other parts of the city! The design of the place has a vibe that invites you in to stay awhile. To enjoy the flavors of the food entries offered. Each one I have to imagine just as good as what I had. This being my first time there I left with a happy heart and a happy tummy! With a mind made up that I will be back! For more of this delicious and wonderful experience! I invite you to come. You won’t be disappointed! I promise!“

“It’s a whole vibe. There’s something exciting about the server asking you what you like and the bartender then mixing a drink using your preferences to surprise you. We went during their 5-7 happy hour on a weeknight and it wasn’t too crowded.“

“Great quality tequila for all the fantasic house cocktails!!“

“The bartender named after the news channel you wish your grand parents would turn off forever, makes the entire experience worth visiting alone. Great drinks and a fun atmosphere. Guaranteed to make friends every time you visit. Can’t recommend enough.“

“Best Old fashioned in the state of Wisconsin“

“We stopped on a Sunday afternoon. The bartender she was great. Personality and vibes were on point. Made us feel welcomed.

They had happy hour on their signature drinks and they were all delish.

I love the dive ish bar feel but the offering of craft cocktails.“

“Didn't get food there... Not sure if you even can. I got the {Name Redacted} cocktail. It was delicious. The ambiance is top tier, and the drinks are good. If you are looking for a gathering place that is a notch above, then this is the place for you.“

“I bring folks from out of town here. It's a well known bar that offers a wide range of beverages. All are at various pricee ranges from inexpensive beer to pricier cocktails. The cocktails are very well crafted. Honestly some of my favorite cocktails in Milwaukee.
The atmosphere is very niche and playful. So much to look at!
I recommend giving this establishment a try.“

“Royal Street MKE formally Daq Shack MKE underwent a beautiful transformation inside but the heart, quality of food and service are the same...wonderful! 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 place inside The Market. Travis was awesome.“

“You've gotta try it here! Owners Kelly and Tom are welcoming and friendly. Creating, with their wonderful staff, a homey, neighborhood spot that refreshes, relaxes and entertains. They have plenty of weekly activities and a private spot for parties and/or events. The pricing of the menu items is fabulous and available for take-out. Chef Dom outdoes himself. Very creative and the food not only electrifies the taste buds but is very generous in portions. Whether an after hours outing with co-workers or with the neighbors, DAILY SOCIAL will surely please! A huge asset to the Hales Corners/Franklin/New Berlin area! Thanks, guys!!!“

“What a great find. Nice place, great energy. The service from hostess, bartender, waiter, and food runner was prompt, polite, and sincere. Food was excellent. The queso was flavorful, melty, and delicious paired with the lovely bread, and assortment of fruits. The empanadas were the obvious stars of the show - soft billowy outer shells that had a nice bite, filled with delicious stuffings. Dessert was great as well, opting for that sinful cookie bar with ice cream.“

“The atmosphere is amazing, drinks are wonderful and it’s an all around vibe.“

“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.“

“I was able to try this place for the first time last weekend and it was awesome! Sugar Maple does a lot of cool pop ups. We went to the Strangers Things one. The cocktails were so fun and tasty. The staff and owner were all so kind!
Highly recommend!“

“We randomly walked in on our way to the bar next door.
I told the bar tender Matt that I like mimosa but with a kick.
He made me an absolutely amazing drink that tasted exactly like a mimosa but with a kick.
I will absolutely come back because this place has real bar tenders that actually know how to make random drinks that will hit a taste.“

“RIP-Best tiramisu I’ve ever had😩“

“Great happy hour 4-7pm Tuesday thru Friday. And the same happy hour Friday and Saturday after 9pm! We were so surprised when we got two craft beers and a domestic for only $10! Decorated nicely and also has pool and darts. My only complaint was that it smelled a little smokey.“

“Best neighborhood bar ever !! A go to when in the area !!“

“Bibi is the absolute best! We absolutely adore her! She makes the bar what it is with her Bubbly personality, tasty bloody Mary’s (even late night) and her fresh friendly conversation. The bar chairs could use more options for the disabled customers they have, but overall A++ for customer service and good quality.“

“free pool..🙂...friendly staff“

“Meow Bar & Lounge is a terrific cocktail lounge with a mid-century modern vibe and a cat theme. The place specializes in ice cream drinks, and no one in our party was disappointed. I was delighted with the Turtleface, a THC-infused cocktail drink with chocolate and caramel.

At the time we went, early on a Friday evening, there was only one bartender working. He did an impressive job of serving the small crowd, but given the time required to mix up ice cream drinks, a little patience was required.“

“I absolutely deleted their Puerto Rican pulled pork sliders. Insanely delicious, 9.4/10“

“Great atmosphere and amazing friendly staff. Owner Ben makes sure you have a great experience!“

“Milwaukee has no shortage of bars worth visiting. Boone & Crockett on the river is one of the few worth planning around.

The setting earns its reputation. The riverside patio is one of the better outdoor drinking spots in the city, and the candlelit interior has a warmth that the rustic, up-north aesthetic could easily feel forced in lesser hands — here it doesn't.

The drinks are classically crafted and genuinely well-executed — the kind of bar where the person behind the counter actually knows what they're doing rather than just following a recipe card.“

“First visit, was amazing! Homemade jalapeño cheddar brat was delicious and generous size. My wife had the green goddess salad, made fresh and the vegetables were delicious. Of course the beer was great as well! Friendly staff, will definitely go back.“

“Super friendly staff. VERY quick order to food on the table time. Had the pork belly Benny and the carnitas con huevos and both were fresh and delicious. The hash browns (added onions) were some of the best I’ve ever had. Got an order of the French toast with Caramel and candied pecans and that was also very good. Heard they feed seniors for free on Wednesday so going to send my parents over there next week! Any place that treats seniors that was is worth patronizing. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Damond provided outstanding service. Great atmosphere. The Chicken Sandwich is truly the best ever. I’ll be back, working my way through the menu!“

“Very good food, great service. Drove 45 mins out of my way to try this place, will be back!“

“Fun bar, great vibes, awesome bartenders!!“

“The menu was pleasantly authentic, service was attentive and the atmosphere welcoming. I look forward to going back.“

“I’ve been wanting to try this place FOREVER. And let’s be honest — I’m perimenopausal and time is not exactly slowing down for me. So for our anniversary, I took no chances. Reservations open 30 days in advance, and you better believe I was poised like an Olympic athlete at 4:00 pm sharp when they dropped. The only slot left? 5:00 pm. The early bird special. Listen — we will dine at 4:37 pm if that’s what it takes. Book it. First of all, the vibe? Chef’s kiss. Mellow, classy, a little dark, lounge-y in that “you feel cooler just sitting there” kind of way. The velvety, cushy seating made me want to cancel all my plans and just live there indefinitely. And then… Carli enters the chat. Mad. Props. To. Carli. She greeted us like we were VIPs, guided us like a culinary fairy godmother, and made recommendations with the confidence of someone who knows she’s about to change your life. We trusted her immediately — as one does when greatness appears tableside. We kicked things off with shared apps: Waygu as Rockfire (buttery, melt-in-your-soul magic), Royal Flower Dumplings, Kinnickinnic Crisp Shell, and the Nobu Spicy Salmon Crispy — which Carli brilliantly suggested we sub with tuna. A visionary. An icon. A leader. Each dish somehow outdid the last. That Waygu? I will be dreaming about it for months. It was so indulgent it should require a warning label. I’m fairly certain food p0rN was invented for that exact bite. Then came the noodle debate: Pad Thai vs. Drunken Noodles. Carli said she prefers the drunken noodles, and at this point she had not steered us wrong once — so obviously we followed her lead. Now let me just say, I once took a cooking class in Thailand and made drunken noodles myself. I’ve tasted the real deal. And this version? Hands down the best I’ve had in the U.S. No question. We added shrimp, and they were light, juicy, perfectly cooked — not a single rubbery overachiever in the bunch. Absolute perfection. We wrapped it up with a hazelnut tiramisu situation. I don’t remember the exact name because we inhaled it in approximately 18 seconds. It never stood a chance. Long story short: completely, wildly worth it. My boyfriend and I live in Madison and we both agreed we will absolutely be making the drive down just to eat here again. We came for our anniversary. We left planning our next visit. And Carli? She deserves a raise, a trophy, and possibly her own holiday.“

“Great Beer selection, even gluten free options!“

“Stopped in for dinner while I was in from Chicago. Everything from the ambience, service, and food was amazing! We had the shrimp scampi, caesar salad, spicy sausage rigatoni, and the rigatoni alla vodka, with a side of their focaccia. Generous portions so we were lucky to bring some back with us! Definitely will return the next time I’m in Milwaukee! 😊“

“We had a great meal here last night. Great cocktails and their limited wine list fit did the trick. We ordered everything to share. Watermelon salad, spring rolls, tamarind carrots and the beef satay. All outstanding. So fresh and vibrant. Dessert was also delicious. I also thought the prices were very reasonable. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Excellent addition to Shorewood. The flavors, the service… Love it.“

“Stopped at potawatomi for the first time and not being much of a gambler I stopped at bar 360 to have a drink and just get a view of the whole scenery and I'm glad I did the vibe is very cool with plenty of blue lighting that gives the whole place a nightclub vibe and they were playing good music plus the prices we're not very high like I expected and they even head drink specials which we both enjoyed and overall after doing little gambling it was definitely the best part of our visit plus the bartender was awesome and provided great service so if you're looking to take a break before gambling all your money away definitely do it at bar 360 it's right in the middle of the place you can't miss it lol.“

“We ate here this morning and loved the food“

“If you’re in Milwaukee for a Brewers game, the Zoo, or just looking for a new restaurant to try…stop at Sofia’s Kitchen for yummy food and drinks! Definitely recommend! 😋“

“Great service - Cameron took excellent care of us!“

“Just had lunch at Vier North. Everything we had was delicious and the service was great. Try the pulled pork sliders, some of the best I've had in the area.“

“Shockingly good and unique cocktails. They fill a much needed gap in Milwaukee's cocktail scene right now. Their bartendeners really have a passion for the craft and the neighborhood. I can't speak to their spirits themselves, but what they do with them puts them as a top destination for anyone looking for cocktails.“

“This place is an excellent spot for drinks with friends or loved ones for any occasion. The diverse mix of customers and staff creates a welcoming atmosphere, where you’ll find a little bit of everyone in their own private, spacious sections. I was seated on a garden style terrace, decorated with meticulously planned and vibrant plants of all kinds that surrounded me. The terrace showed off exceptional lighting, making it an ideal spot for a cocktail photoshoot. There is no food on the menu so dont come hungry the drinks are delicious and strong. They are also very pricey for the service provided! Overall the service drinks and experience was great!“

“Excellent Italian apricot pastry and espresso.“

“I took my daughter-in-law to Blu at Pfister for Victorian tea. We each enjoyed one pot of tea from a selection of 15 different teas. We had 3 layers of food to enjoy, savory and sweet including scones, cucumber sandwiches, salmon and crab, turkey, pesto, red pepper along with various desserts with chocolate, fruit. We definitely needed to go boxes! Enjoyed the great views of the city and great service. We also each ordered a mimosa too!“

“They are dog friendly and have consistently had good options on tap. Do know that they are a bar only, not a resturaunt. They have bags of chips for sale, but no food food. I like it because I like having a place out that I can take my dog. Dogs allowed inside and out on the patio.“
