Cute wine shop in Wauwatosa!…read more I had been wanting to visit this place ever since they opened and finally was able to check it out! They have a large selection of wine to buy as well as taste at the bar. Had to grab a bottle of my favorite pinot noir rose. The owner was very nice and knowledgeable about the wine. We were able to sample before choosing a pour too. They have a few specials including their $20 wine flights on Wednesdays and $16 champagne and chips on Thursdays. Before 5pm they also have $5 off their charcuterie. You can select from 3/4/5 items off their charcuterie menu. They also have other snacks as well. They were making a burrata, asparagus, and pepita dish that I wish we would have had time to try. Can't wait to come back this summer and sit outside!

The guys that run the shop are super friendly and always up for a good chat. In fact, i've had several friends stop there on the way to my house for dinner, and they always comment to me on how nice those guys at the liqour store are! If you want something that they don't have, they'll do their best to get it for you.

I've been here before, but I don't know that I've ever ordered as well. The special was a giant…read moreburger that my new friends at the bar were splitting, but most of the menu is set up more family style - divided by plate size. The waitstaff will walk you through how that works your first time. We started with some of the taste & share plates - showing off WI cheese to the out of towners - and then a few people shared some gnocchi and beef tartare while a couple people got burgers. We had maybe 4 bites leftover, and no room for dessert, it was a personal victory. I'm sad I didn't get photos because I love the feel of each unique area that's here. The restaurant is bigger than you think because it's subdivided into smaller rooms. We had a group of 7 for a work event (which meant I kept my phone put away) and were in a cozy little nook in the back by ourselves, I'd never even noticed this little spot. What a fantastic time we had!

It's a great environment with a lot of good drink options. I always opt for the Parker rolls which are tasty but again expensive for the amount you get, I typically order the trout (which until coming here I didn't realize was essentially the same as salmon). It's very good and the potato pancake is a nice touch. Over my visits I've also enjoyed trying the short rib gnocchi, butter chicken, and brussels. They also have a small party room which I have attended an event in before which is always a nice touch. It's secluded and of course much quieter than their main dining area which can get pretty loud!

Date of visit: March 6, 2025…read more I stopped here on my way home from work as they were listed as a retailer that carried Minocqua Brewing Company products and I wanted to support their mission while thanking our wonderful dog sitters. Upon entry I was not greeted, just stared at, like I walked in naked. I looked around and found the beer located in the back and spent a good 15 minutes trying to find the Minocqua section. The beer does not seem to be organized in any particular way and I had nearly given up when I found that they carried two varieties, and only in single cans for $4.99/can. While not a beer drinker, that still seemed a bit steep to me. They also had nothing to put the cans in, so I had to gather up the four and walk up to the register. Just before I finished, an employee walked back by me, not to see if I needed any help, but probably to see why I was taking so long. He said "Hi," but didn't ask if I needed any help and the man behind the register wasn't any friendlier. Definitely don't see a need to come back here.

Inside, they stock the basics - beer (mostly domestics with a few microbrews thrown in), wine (lots of "bum wine" but some ok bottles too) and lots and lots of malt liquor. The prices aren't too bad and the guy at the counter was friendly. If you're staying at one of the nearby hotels it's pretty much your only option for liquor in the area.

Skatterbrain Dark Chocolate Banana Whiskey: Skatterbrain produces a plethora of eccentrically…read moreflavored whiskeys. Information on Skatterbrain is next to non-existent, but I can tell you that my "research" revealed all of their whiskeys share one thing in common (well maybe two if you include they're all fun flavors). That commonality is they all have an animal wearing sunglasses on the bottle. In the case of the Dark Chocolate banana Whiskey, it's appropriately a gorilla. Total Wine (where I purchased it) describes it as smooth Canadian whisky blended with the flavors of dark chocolate and banana with rich, fruity, and complex qualities. I question the reliability of that though as Skatterbrain spells it as "whiskey" on their bottle, which is typical of American and Irish Whiskey, but not Canadian "Whisky". I found the chocolate flavor to be stronger than the banana, but the two make an interesting combo. I wasn't bananas about it initially, but it grew on me, making it an acquired taste. I don't know how others drink this, but I found it worked nicely in my version of a "Dirty Monkey" (recipe below). Although I found this whiskey to my liking, I still prefer my go to banana rum for this type of drink. Doughboy approved Doughboy_Food_Reviews Doughboy Dirty Monkey: -30-50ml Dark Chocolate Banana Whiskey -5 oz milk of choice -1 tsp sugar free chocolate syrup -21g chocolate protein powder -1/4 diced large banana or 1/3 medium banana -1 tsp peanut butter -4 medium sized ice cubs -approximately 1/2 tsp xanthan gum to thicken -Blend well in a standard blender, pour and enjoy

Staff was pretty helpful. Internet is kind of spotty when you're trying to search for an item and they do have a rewards program, but you really have to consume a lot to get any benefits as it only lasts a few months and then your points fall off.
