Wine Bars in West Bend, WI

“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!“
