5 Best Cocktail Bars in West Bend

“We absolutely loved The Orville! Went to celebrate my husband's birthday and Valentine's Day, but decided to skip the hustle and bustle of V-Day. Sam was such a sweet and attentive waitress, couldn't ask for better service! We had the best artichoke dip I've ever had, I think it was the grilled toast that really did it, but the dip was amazing too! I had Lobster Mac & Cheese and my husband had a beautiful salmon dish...both perfect, and can't wait to have the leftovers from my Mac (huge chunks of lobster!). I had a lavender martini, simply lovely and delish! Tried my husband's old fashioned and yummmm to that too, had a cinnamon twist to it. We'll be back, hands down. And the ambience and lighting make for a very romantic time. Oh and they gave my husband a birthday card that everyone signed! Gave him a choice of dessert, just so sweet, no pun intended. It would be hard to find a better salted caramel creme brulee. Then since we had a late reservation Sam so kindly said we could take all of the remaining roses 🌹 🌹 🌹. They smell heavenly. Thank you all, we're so excited to have found you, when I heard it was the sister restaurant of The Norbert I knew it would be fantastic, but that's an understatement!!!“

“I’ve had the pleasure of dining at the Norbert a few times now. Both times my girlfriends and I shared quite a few of the small plates, as well as a few entrees. Every bite of every plate was delicious. Our favorites are the fried shrimp and the beef short ribs. We tried the steak Tatar for the first time last night and it was phenomenal. We have never had anything but a 10/10 meal here. Service is also great, and their martinis always are a hit!“

“great food and staff are great and great at remembering faces been coming since they open definitely recommend beef mazeman ramen“

“We stopped into Dooley’s on a mission to experience a little bit of everything Main Street has to offer — and WOW, our adventure started with a bang!

We began with two of their specialty cocktails: the Rum Punch and the Vanilla Latte Martini.

The Rum Punch was absolutely delightful — the blend of cherry, lemon, blood orange, and spiced apple cider tasted like a perfectly fruity fall dance party!

The Vanilla Latte Martini tasted like dessert in a glass. I’m not even a coffee fan, but the balance of vanilla and whipped flavors made it smooth, sweet, and dreamily caramel-like.

For appetizers, we ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp and the Wild Mushroom Flatbread. I didn’t try the shrimp myself, but my friend was doing a happy dance after every bite! As for the flatbread — oh my goodness! The golden, crispy-yet-chewy crust topped with fluffy goat cheese, roasted mushrooms, caramelized onions, fresh herbs, and a drizzle of tangy-sweet balsamic glaze was pure perfection in every bite. Even my friend, who normally avoids mushrooms, loved it so much they went back for seconds!

Our server was absolutely wonderful — friendly, patient, and attentive. She understood we were sampling spots along Main Street and never rushed us. When she brought us a box to pack up our leftovers she even provided a sturdy to-go bag big enough to carry our future finds from other stops.

Dooley’s gave us an unforgettable start to our weekend getaway. Between the fantastic flavors, warm atmosphere, and exceptional service, it’s a must-visit on Main Street. I highly recommend giving them a try!“

“We have been to Wallers on the Lake several times. We have never been disappointed. This evening was no exception. Started with drinks at the bar. Shelly our bartender was very friendly and attentive. We had a table of 4 for dinner. We all had something different. And we were very happy with our selections, for salads to sandwiches to entrees. In the warmer months they offer complementary boats rides (see included photo). Stunning sunset. We will certainly return. And highly recommend.“
