    Stopped in for their Miracle on 2nd St holiday pop-up. We only had to wait about 5-10min for a table, but it does get busy fast, especially on weekends. 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.

    One of the best bars in the city! This Walkers Point watering hole combines local dive with hipster vibes. They have the best Old Fashioneds in town. The place gets lit up during the holidays and they also break out a special winter drink menu that includes boozy hot chocolate and egg nog concoctions served in fun mugs. The place is cozy, with couches in the front and back of the bar, and little tables spread out in between. It's pretty small and it's usually packed in there and for good reason. Great bartenders, drinks and vibes. A must stop for anyone looking for solid drinks in a fun atmosphere.

    This was my first time at this Walker's Point classic! I was impressed with the speed of service considering how packed the place was and the craft of drinks they make. This place is cutely decorated and gives great vibes for a date night or guests visiting in town. Provides a great variety of cocktails and had fun music.

    Tin widow is a great local eclectic cocktail bar. Can be on the pricier side, but worth it. When it's not Christmas time, it gives "grandpas den" vibes, but if you get the chance to go to their Christmas pop up- take it! It can be very busy when they do the pop up, but turnover is quick and the drinks are so tasty. They even put them in cute cups you can purchase if you're feeling extra festive!

    Best Christmas pop up bar!!!!! Some friends and I went here the weekend after the holiday and the best time. They decorated outside of the bar and on the inside. Staff are pretty nice and the drinks are amazing! Good music to dance to as well. I will definitely come back and visit.

    Veryyy cute holiday pop up with all the christmas lights and decor. The drinks are served in really cute mugs too. My coworkers got the unicorn and mouse. I got an amaretto sour and it was very yummy so thank you to the bartender! My group liked their drinks as well. Very busy for a Monday night. People just kept coming and coming.

    We were at Don's TV Repair and our new friends mentioned that Tin Widow was decorated for Christmas. Every square inch is decorated! They have festive tiki mugs you can purchase or just enjoy your drink in! We were pretty well lubricated from Don's so we had some non-alcoholic beverages and they were tasty! If you're needing a little Christmas cheer get yourself to the Tin Widow

    This bar really knows how to do it up during the holidays. I was extremely impressed by the holiday decor, so many lights!! There was a limited edition cocktail menu served in awesome glassware (available for purchase for an extra fee), I opted for the mulled wine and it was lovely. I have been to the Tin Widow a few times, and it does get very busy pre- and post-dinner hour especially on Fridays and Saturdays. If you stop by at off-peak areas, you can easily get a seat at the bar or a table and also chat with the bar tenders. They always have excellent recommendations regarding drinks and nearby restaurants. It is a bit pricy but keep in mind it is a craft cocktail bar. It has a cozy, relaxed vibe and I would definitely recommend for date night.

    Stopped by Tin Window with friends for an evening cocktail, a very homie and quaint spot with a variety of bar, couch or table seating options. Would very much be a fun date night spot. We ordered from their house cocktail menu and I of course had to try the espresso martini. Overall it was one of the more coffee rich/dense espresso martinis i've ever tried- different than the typical martini but in a good way (if you like a dark roast vibe). My coworkers also enjoyed their house cocktails as well. The bartenders were very kind and attentive to us all night which was a bonus. It is more dimly lit compared to other bars but otherwise a great spot in walkers point to chill, converse and enjoy some drinks!

    Truly the best Christmas bar in MKE! My husband and I go every year and it's so much fun and the drinks are delicious. We got free shots last year :) highly recommend!

    Came in for their Christmas pop up the other night and it was packed! The service was quick, and we luckily got seats pretty fast. The drinks were delicious, as always, and very on theme. Come early for the pop up though bc they do get to capacity quick!

    Read online that this was a place to go for over-the-top Christmas decorations in Milwaukee. They were in the process of getting them all up, so we were too early to see the spectacle. We'll have to come back later in the month to see sights, but in the meantime we stayed and ordered a couple of cocktails, which were very good. Loved the eclectic interior design, wondered about the history of the place, and also wondered who is/was the Barbra Streisand fan as we saw both a book and and album of hers on the wall. The place is dog-friendly -- a young lady at the bar was holding her very cute and well-behaved dog on her lap. I didn't have my glasses on and I thought at first it was a monkey. The front of the bar looks like a comfy old-fashioned living room, which was what made me want to come here in the first place. I thought that this was a house-turned-into-a-bar, but it's not. I'd like to come back with some whiskey-loving friends so they can sample the selection they're known for. See you in a few weeks!

    How expensive is this place - comparable?

    Their signature drinks are in the $9-$15 range. Since they have a huge selection of both gins and whiskeys, you can order drinks with some rare/unusual stuff and then the price depends on the liquor you choose.

Here you'll find plenty of brews on tap, wines, and a solid line up of canned drinks/seltzers. Most notable though, their house cocktails. I opted for the cocorita and was definitely a fan! If you like coconut flavor and margs, then you're in for a treat with this one. So refreshing and even comes with shaved coconut on the side of the glass. If tequila isn't your thing, they've got ya covered with all the other concoctions -- from a sunshine martini to a Gillian's island rum mixer. And even if you prefer NA, there's drinks cleverly called "placebo effects" for ya! Love the sprawling bar, with plenty of seats, that's right in front of the big open doors letting the fresh air in. Friendly faces behind the bar too. Look forward to returning!

It'll turn you into a cheese connoisseur if you're not already one. I fell in love with Gouda cheese as soon as I took a bite. We tried a classic cheese flight board and red wine only flight to pair with the different types of cheese. They made it into a gluten free spread so we had four types of cheese in lieu of the seasoned dried meat and gluten free crackers.

The space is cozy and dim and well decorated. The staff are always kind. some are more helpful or informative than others. You can pair the cheeses with every drink on the menu or try pre-paired boards. You can also buy cheeses from the dairy and others, as well as assorted related products at a small retail section or cut fresh from the cheese case. Parking is on the street and can be a pain in this saturated area. The reason for the drop in stars? Prior visits got you more wines and more food to pair it with. This visit had prices steady but fewer wines, less cheese and $1 upcharge for some wafer crackers. I know the economy is not great right now, but this now seems like an expensive place to bring friends, not a reasonable day outing.

We ordered the gyoza, miso soup, calamari, short rib, crab fried rice, room service pad Thai and a few hand rolls. My wife and I also had the Phuket #3 cocktail. First off, service was friendly and amazingly fast. Drinks came out literally a minute after we ordered. The food started coming out shortly after. The gyoza was pan fried and came out upside down with a giant pancake connecting them. Cute presentation and solid gyoza. The next was the calamari. This was probably our favorite dish overall. Huge portion for an appetizer. The calamari was lightly breaded with togarishi and a sweet and sour dipping sauce. Amazingly tender. I got the the scallop, 50/50 and salmon handrolls. My wife doesn't like raw fish and even she thought the handrolls were good. The scallop was awesome. Super sweet with a dash of chili oil. The short rib was our second favorite. Super tender and had deep, rich flavors. Shredding the beef and pouring some of the broth over white rice made a perfect bite. The seafood fried rice was also spectacular. Huge chunks of calamari, shrimp, crab. The pad Thai was only ok. It was too peanutty for me, but my wife and kids also were generally meh about it too. The Phuket #3 was also great. I ordered it first and my wife liked it so much (after drinking most of mine) ordered another. We recently went to a Michelin starred Thai restaurant in SF and while we also really liked it, we all liked Room Service even more. And for about half the price. We'll definitely be back.
