This does not feel like an establishment that truly welcomes everyone. My friend and I, who are…read morestraight, visited to enjoy the entertainment while celebrating her 50th birthday, and we were made to feel unwelcome from the moment we arrived. We approached the main entrance just before 10:00 p.m. and were told it was too early, so we went back downstairs as instructed. When we returned shortly after 10:00, security allowed us in and we sat at a table. Within minutes, a man named Santiago, who identified himself as a manager, told us we were not supposed to be there and said the bar was not open yet. Despite explaining that security had let us in, he continued to speak to us in a condescending and dismissive manner, making us feel as though we had done something wrong. The interaction was disrespectful and left us feeling unwelcome and insignificant. This was a very disappointing and unfortunate experience.

(I now live in Chicago) and I'm not joking when I say it's only gotten better. Tonight's bartenders were Christopher and Eric (aka PUDDY) and they didn't disappoint.

I forgot to grab a pack of cigs out of my bag before I left my hotel and when I asked one of the bartenders if they sold them he offered me a couple of his and he was super nice and attentive.

I had heard about the Tin Widow's holiday pop up being one of the best area, the hype was not wrong. From the entrance to the ceiling and walks, this place is the definition of deck the halls. Unless you get here right when they open it early in the holiday season, I would expect a crowd. The drink menu is so fun with holiday themed drinks served in matching glassware. You can even purchase the glass/mug for an additional fee. A lot of the cocktails looked to be batched cocktails which help with the bartender's efficiency. Highly recommend making this place a holiday stop. I'm also curious to stop in after the holidays to experience it without all the holiday decor.

They had several seasonal cocktails in special festive cups, which you could also buy to take home. I got the Cheery Cherry Chocosaurus, which was good, but pricey for what it was. Almost all the seasonal drinks were $15 each and didn't seem too big. The venue itself is medium sized, but feels crammed quickly. There's more people let in at a time than there is seating, so you have to move fast to get a seat. I'll likely come back during the summer to try something else.

You can email, you can call...do not plan on a response. The sweet people that answer the phone do their best to answer questions but ultimately they keep referring you to Morton, because he was the only one that could answer, and he refuses to respond. This really caused a lot of undue stress around booking an employee party. Hire better management. This is the worst customer service we've had in the entire Milwaukee area. After all of that...The ambiance is cool, the servers are friendly, and the drinks are good.
