I heard they have themed nights too for music so I would definitely want to come here with some friends to check it out. Our bartender took great care of us too!

Had the BEST time coming here for the Saturday flamenco!!!…read more The decor and atmosphere are so inviting, I felt so at home while also being super hyped, it was the perfect balance. They have a nice selection of cocktails, too. My party tried several and we thoroughly enjoyed all of them. I loved the little details, like the hanging flowers from the ceiling and Spanish lanterns that just added to the experience. Very one of a kind spot! We have been to Spain many times and seen authentic flamenco, and honestly I enjoyed this better. I personally enjoyed this show WAY more than the typical flamenco show we went to last time we were in Spain. I liked that it feels like there's almost a slight Cuban influence (which makes it better IMO)- a little looser, more fun and not as serious. Christian is a great musician and host. During the intermission for the music he walked around with a platter of light tapas that he handed out to patrons. We were so excited to see this spot open up and can't wait to come back!

First time here. Camp site 131 transformed into Saloon MKE. Owned by Camp Bar…read more Initially walking into the bar area I felt surrounded by dead deer and their antlers. It is pretty similar to the camp bars but smaller. A giant tv screen is behind the bar and three smaller tv. Seven wooden chanterelles illuminate a wall of booths and tables on street side. A line of campy Aztec stools line the bar on the other side. All beer is canned or bottled. They had a seasonal IPA but normally just two more basic IPAs. No stouts. More of a cocktail bar with the gimmick of $3 to have your drink served in a smoked container. Super friendly staff! Came to see live music, which started an hour later than posted, partly due to not being very busy.

Camp bar revitalized campsite 131 and made it into a permanent bar called Saloon. This bar sits on…read morethe edge of the third ward. It is very similar to other Camp bars. It gives cozy cabin vibes with many different animal mounts. It's like being transported up north while still being in Milwaukee. Servers are so kind and because the bar is small, they are able to have conversations with people sitting at the bar. This is a very chill environment and great for weeknights or a weekend that you don't want to be surrounded by loud dancing people. They have live country music, which is a huge plus for me.

One of our favorite rooftops in the city!…read more A true Milwaukee gem that we enjoy as transplants! This rooftop is always a hotspot choice to enjoy some time with friends be sure to send someone ahead of time to grab a good seating location as spots fill up quickly. I also think recently they adjusted their pricing to give you a better value which is nice. The bartenders are always super helpful and there are good options for everyone. I will also say their food options and selections have increased tremendously recently.

Just off the elevators there are people who confirm everyone coming in are 21+. The bar is to the right and there's some tables inside and then the rooftop is to the left with multiple other tables. It was pretty busy on a Saturday evening. We sat inside and enjoyed wine and a mixed drink, and enjoyed people watching and enjoying the nice weather. They do have food to order as well and a good amount of drinks to choose from.

Meh. With a…read morebartender attitude that all vodka tastes the same, this isn't a cocktail bar. It's a reason to go anywhere else and not have the assumption that everyone has the same dull palate that the bartender does. And, yes. Bartender. Not a mixologist. Not any type of connoisseur of spirits. A dude with a beard and a holier than thou attitude that tells you just enough about the quality and care that will go into your drink. For such an incredibly welcoming community, this is a standout for its inability to reach the floor. Enjoy your allocation and force that Wheatley garbage into the one vodka drink you make. On the other hand, if you only want whiskey and gin drinkers, I apologize, and 5 stars for the ability to keep those other, less-than, vodka drinkers out.

UPDATE. My friends and I reserved a table for Juneteenth, and we were promptly seated as soon as we…read morearrived. The entire evening had good vibes. We knew Brownstone would be the perfect place to celebrate. All positive feedback! 1. Cleanliness and Management The establishment is always clean. I was to witness the owner personally wiping down tables and adjusting furniture. Seeing an owner take such visible pride in their business and never being "too good" to work really stands out to me and sets a great tone for the venue. 2. Happy Hour, Drinks, and Vibe Their happy hour is absolutely amazing, with affordable prices and great options. It normally stops at 7:00 PM, but they extended it until 9:00 PM last night! The drinks were made to order, arrived shortly after ordering, and tasted great. They weren't so strong that you couldn't enjoy them, but they definitely packed a punch. The atmosphere was flawless thanks to the staff and 2 DJs who kept the music upbeat and perfect. The entire crowd was having a time, singing along on cue and swaying to the music. 3. The Food We ordered pasta and happy hour appetizers, and everything was delicious. From presentation to taste, the kitchen delivered exactly what we were hoping for. I have absolutely no complaints. It was another fantastic experience celebrating a great holiday with an even better crowd. To answer your question, will I return? Absolutely! In fact, I might even head back after Summerfest this weekend!

Tiki bar in the Third Ward is a little slice of beach in the busy city. With some of the best (and…read morestrongest) cocktails around, I will forever recommend this bar to anyone looking for bar recs in Milwaukee. During the summer, the windows are gone, allowing for fresh air and more room to move around both inside and outside the bar. It is always packed, but the bartenders are great at getting to everyone in a timely manner. We had their famous bloody mary, which comes with salmon jerky, shrimp, and of course a full lobster tail! Definitely a drink I will come back for. They also have your classic beach drinks too, including margaritas, pina coladas, and daiquiris. If you are looking for food, they serve food fresh from St Paul's Fish Market!
