26 Best Cocktail Bars near Windsor

“We had such a great experience! The service was fantastic, the cocktails were excellent and it was a great atmosphere!“

“Imaginary Factory (or “If” iykyk) has a Clockwork Orange themed decor. Think Korova Milkbar with fewer sociopaths and more good cheer.

On offer was a Coconut Julius, an Orange Julius inspired frozen cocktail with coconut milk and wine. As a latchkey child of the 90s, I had no choice but to order. The first sip was a proustian moment. I was immediately transported back to the food court of my childhood suburban mall.

The star attraction of Imaginary Factory is owner and bartender Hastings. Think Sam Malone with the affect of Norm and the sex appeal of Frasier.“

“Awesome joint! My only suggestion is that you label any allergen-containing components of the drinks on your menu. The last time I was in, one of my friends got a tiki drink (the one in the butt glass, haha) that came with a cookie as garnish, which was not listed in the drink's description. She has no allergies, luckily, but it would be an issue for people who do! 😊 I would never think to ask if there would be a cookie in my drink before ordering it, LOL.“

“We thought this place was a gem! The bartender Jon was able to make a Ramos gin fizz and hit it out of the park!“

“Thank you Michael and Brandon! First time at the Union Corners . We will definitely be back !“

“Stiff drinks and a loose time“

“We recently did a post wedding cocktail hour here and it was perfect!! I worked with Beaver setting our buyout up. The communication was great and they were very accommodating! The vibe is eclectic and fun, the guests loved the pretzels, and I highly recommend this venue!“

“One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time! My husband and I had a great date night. Fabulous meal, service and atmosphere.“

“Very clean, cozy, comfortable lounge bar.

Staff is friendly, attentive and hard working.

Stopped in with my friend visiting from out of town, perfect place to kill an hour with a couple of drinks.

Nice if you are a local or just passing through.

They also have a pool table, video games (real video games, not poker) and a streaming jukebox.“

“Great pizza and nice ambiance as usual. What made our evening even better were the warm smile and friendly personality of our waitress Mel! She nicely engaged in joking conversation, went above and beyond to accommodate our special request, and frequently checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Outstanding food and service — we’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Haven promises to live up to it's name and rather more. In the midst of many, many new Asian restaurants on or near State Street, Haven stands out for having a warm, open, well-lit and tasteful atmosphere--including not only a few games but a well-chosen, literate bookshelf that welcomes you to linger. The tea selection finally brings us back to the long-lost day of Dobra tea, finally expanding the State Street area Asian dining experience beyond bag tea. The food is equal to these other successes. I had the braised beef noodle bowl. This was a generous, flavorful no-nonsense bowl with a goodly bone-n joint of beef in the midst of the other hearty chucks of meat. The broth and the noodles were up to the same generous, flavorful standard. I observed in passing that they seem to have the liquor selection they will need to fit in with State Street, though that isn't a reason why I stopped in. I will certainly be back.“

“As good as it gets for atmosphere and staff.“

“Top notch atmosphere, great drinks, good food and snacks, dog friendly. Feels like a cabin in the northwoods. I want to decorate my basement to resemble the Muskellounge because it just has the perfect feel. A must stop whenever we are in town. Highly recommend this place.“

“Took my daughter to this 60’s inspired cocktail style restaurant, to celebrate her birthday. We both agree that the overall vibe was sensational. The staff was amazing with our waitress being kind and courteous, as well as prompt with service. The menu is rather eclectic with various options, so there is something for everyone. The design of the place is thoughtful with the music matching the vibe. I am excited to see what the future holds for Lola's!“

“Food is amazing! Best tacos!“

“The catering order placed for our holiday lunch was simply amazing. Legit best value for the price, great flavor, and those homemade sauces are a true chef's kiss. Def. recommend!“

“Kelly carried her hospitality above and beyond. I have never been here before and she was sure to engage in detailed conversation while giving exceptional service. Matt was also an amazing man to meet and sociable with our group!! Definitely recommend visiting for a quick drink or a good while! :)“

“I'm not much for the downtown thing but this little place was awesome last night. Super rad bartenders with great stories :) Also, I got pretty drunk, which is cool.“

“Cozy atmosphere, great food and drinks!“

“It's hard to know where to start. First they have Guinness on tap they have harp on tap they have some incredible drink selections but let's go away from there and go to the food I only had the basically the fish and chips the batter was incredibly light it was not greasy it didn't detract in a fish the fish inside was amazing the chips were great decent french fries fresh as opposed to cook for 2 hours before the coleslaw was superb they've been a two slices of rye bread with it the rest of the menu looked very good it had sandwiches anywhere from 12:00 to $19 main meals anywhere from 22 to 42 or higher market price steak whatever that means in English and the appetizers look amazing so I'd recommend it if you're going to be in a first class hotel in Madison Wisconsin which isn't going to happen to everyone and barely happen to me I recommend this place it's got aesthetics and Keith and they do wear masks“

“good place, good drinks, good food, great atmosphere!“

“Probably my fave Madison bar. Snap pea gin cocktail was baller, thanks. Also had either a diamondback or jersey lightning, cant remember what was on their menu.

Personaable, fun, classic. Bar manager cares about what they're doing. Refreshing.“

“I LOVE ILSA! ILSA is probably one of the best people I have ever met. Ilsa made my experience at the stuffed Olive so much better than I could even explain. This is my second time here, but I thoroughly enjoyed the service that I received from ilsa this time way more. I never write reviews, but today I am going to write one for ilsa because of how much of an impact ilsa made on my experience here today.“

“The Thai chicken bowl is amazing!!! I’ve gotten it 3 times in the past 2 weeks. Great outdoor seating area too! There was even live music tonight. Great atmosphere and food!“

“Fabulous place, omg the view of the capital is amazing“

“Food and Service were great!“
