The Tin Widow: what do users think?

Daniel Kelley: Service: 5/5

David Sapp: The best vibe, amazing staff and the drinks just make it perfect!

Emily Anderson: I've been a few times at various levels. On this evening we grabbed a drink after a comedy show.This is a classic MKE bar with great service, creative and well-crafted drinks, fun decor and even better patrons. It's worth a stop...even if you just want to look at well-groomed men working behind the bar... You'll have a great time. You will find a conversation. The atmosphere is inviting and I intentionally ordered a fussy drink to confirm they care about their output... they do. They consistently do. And I love that about this place.Fall 2023: consistently great. Chris is dope.

Bittercube Bazaar: what do users think?

Kelli Butenhof: Fun place for some cocktails. Cheers!

K: Really good drinks!! Fun atmosphere.

Anthony Jones: This bar at North Ave Market knows what they are doing. If you are fortunate enough to get Anthony as a bartender, you will surely leave happy. He is literally an encyclopedia of cocktails….what goes together, what flavors work well, what specific alcohols should be shaken at room temp versus on ice. My husband and I appreciate all of the above and more. His brief lessons based on my questions were like being in a drink making class. Overall, the drinks are phenomenal and the staff, including owners, go above and beyond to make you feel like a friend and not just a patron. Please visit! They are THEE best!

Xo Xo: 👍 They definitely make sure you have lots of fun time when you come here!! 😋They make some delicious drinks too!!🍷 🍶 🥃 🍸 🍺 🍹 🍵 🥤 🍾

Madyun Wilson: I would like to personally thank Brandon he has been a great and professional representative of the Bittercube organization. He made me the most amazing dirty martini I’ve ever seen. I’m privileged that you moved into the north side of Milwaukee, such a cultured industrial atmospheric space. Highly suggest the Heirlooms Crème de Flores. Hours get a little weird but call and they answer if they are open you’ll be welcomed!Updated: Friday July 2 2021 Still A No. 1 Fan ! Picture from today!

A.J. Magoon: Really great selection and good service! Ordered some bitters for curbside pickup and everything was very smooth and easy.

Courtney Ignatowski: Bittercube has such fun and innovative virtual cocktails classes. Each cocktail has it own unique spin on it. You can pick up all the ingredients at their location before class. Brandon & Ira make it an experience- definitely get the Bittercube Cherry Bark Vanilla Bitters!

Jennifer Roberts: An amazing time learning how to make the best Manhattans! A great find!! Great people & products!

Joyce Gardiner: Our bartender William was awesome...suggested drinks...served them with a smile...mixed cocktails to our liking! He also suggested items for us to purchase from the Bazaar! It was a great experience!

Jen Vega: The most amazing cocktails in Milwaukee. Great place in a place I wouldn't have expected. Goes to show you that MKE is truly up & coming.

claudio cortes: Yum to the max

Finks: what do users think?

Mark Steele: What a fun and memorable experience.Well-valued, well-crafted, well-executed, sanitary drinking spot to have a solid cocktail. Solely focused on guest experience with no other distractions like food.Engaging, personable, and professional staff will guide you through the experience. My mixologist actually had traveled to some of the areas where the spirits were produced.A plethora of board and card games on hand to keep as competitive back drop while you're soaking in the experience. No TVs.I wish there was a watering hole like this close to my house.Well done to the team.

Lost Whale: what do users think?

John Levine: Bartender is very nice and professional. Will go again!

Benjamin McNeil: around and looking at the details. We ordered small plates as appetizers, and they were fantastic and arrived quickly. The large plates took a fair bit longer to arrive, but all of us cleaned our plates. Seriously, my tiny sister actually scraped her plate clean with her fork and knife. Overall, this was a very nice experience. Prices for food were pretty high, though cocktail prices were a good deal.Vegetarian options: Butternut squash small plate was insanely delicious

Alex G: Great cocktails and good bartenders

Maia H: This is a small cocktail bar, so don't be surprised if you don't get a seat on the weekends, especially during happy hour! Happy hour is 4-6pm and it's half off their specialty house cocktails or draft beer. Our group liked the Wisconsin old fashioned and the negroni spritz the best. The bartender did a good job by herself when it was extremely busy. My only complaint is the music was too loud, we could barely hear each other talk.

Boone & Crockett: what do users think?

a niutad: They don't serve food. However, you can bring in tacos from Taco Moto food truck. Service is great, and at times, I had to wait due to busy times. Drinks are excellent, too.Atmosphere: 4/5 …

Lauren George: Atmosphere: 5/5

Biirdheart: love this place! just came here while visiting from out of town and was so impressed with the staff, considering it was a Saturday night and packed full.there were only a few bartenders serving the entire place and they handled everything with speed and ease. when I had trouble getting an Uber, they made sure I was safe getting to my hotel. they are all professional and sweet.I absolutely will come back here again when I’m in town- specifically because of the bar staff

Charles Mark: Okay drinks at a good price but overcrowded because it's a white girl insta paradise. If you want a lot of mounted heads that no one within a 1k miles shot here is your place. The boilermaker deal is bomb af and reeks of gen Z BOH influence. Otherwise, learn how to smoosh fruit ingredients because these mf's busy af and deserve 3x raises.

Daniel: Awesome pre game and after game spot without doing an overpriced downtown sports dump .Parking: There is a pay lot behind the bar

J Kurtz: Recently, my husband and I stayed in town for a night. After the hotel lobby bar closed, we walked down to Stella's to keep the fun going. This bar isn't for everyone, and that's exactly what I love about it. They have a good amount of booze options, and a homey feel. Peaches, the bartender, is the fun sister/aunt I never had but always wanted. I will always stop in here when I'm nearby.

Lucky Joe's Tosa: what do users think?

Ivy League: Update: hands down nostalgic for us.....we love Lucy Joes! Danni is the tops!!!! 😍

Emily Anderson: I went on a saturday night by myself around 830? I havent been in a couple of years. It was busy. There seemed to be a lot of work xmas gatherings this night. The bar kept up with the demand really well. I ordered food and drinks to try. Everything came out very fast.The espresso martini was my favorite.The oaxacan campfire was up there for me too.I didnt like the sangria.The empanadas were good, the bacon wrapped chesnuts were great and were great the next day after some airfryer action. The deviled eggs were good in the moment.My service was fantastic. Again they were BUSY. This is a great place...be sure to keep it in your rotation... whether its dinner, drinks, or just some hang time.

Suzie Kane: We've been wanting to go here for awhile now. Love the atmosphere, the chandeliers are very pretty. The noise level was fine, we could have a conversation without shouting. This is more of a cocktail bar with heavy snacks. The Brandy old fashioned was spot on. We tried 3 different wings. The buffalo were pretty traditional good flavor not overly spicy. The BBQ bourbon had great flavor not spicy at all. Our favorite was gunpowder it has a little more heat and is a dry rub. The mozzarella sticks were huge and tasty, wrapped in wonton wrappers with a little boost of basil flavor the marinara was great for dipping. The fries were really good too. The service was good even though it looked like there was just one server. It was a busy night in the Village because of the Christmas market. We will definitely be back!!

Patrick: Great old fashions. Can't complain about the service or the drinks.

Station No. 06: what do users think?

Margaret Tomaszek Witry: This is my favorite bar in Milwaukee. Welcoming staff. Good negroni.

Slaw Slaw: Love this place, best var for craft coctails on the west side of milwaukee/suburbs. Been here so many times, food wise they just have a few simple apps like a giant pretzel, or a cheese platter which are all fine, tgey dont have a full menu butnypu can vring food if you want. Drink wise they have a nice selection of craft beers and a changing list of craft cocktails based on the season. There are unique flavors, and something for everyone from sweet to dry and everything between, all well balanced. Its in on old fire station so there isnt much indoor seating but lots outside & a gas fire pit for warmth.Parking: Only street parking available

Tracy Booth Lewis (TBL): I love this place!! Y I u can bring in food or order it from West Allis sausage and cheese right store and they'll deliver it to you. Your friendly dogs are welcome. The selection of beers and drinks are amazing.. They have an open patio with a fireplace very cozy! When the warm weather comes, they open up all the rolling doors it is so wonderful.It is small,but so enjoyableCheers!!Vegetarian options: The sausage and cheese shop offer may things.

Balzac: what do users think?

Suzanne Boyd: Balzac has always felt a little overpriced for what it was, but sometimes worth it if that's just what we were in the mood for. However they are permanently closing soon.

Andrea Bartosh: First time visiting and had a fantastic experience! Extensive wine list, delicious dishes, cozy atmosphere, and great service. The "small plates" were larger than expected. A friend and I shared two small plates plus dessert and we were full. The brussel sprouts were fantastic, and the sauce with the pan seared snapper was so flavorful. The desserts also did not disappoint. The chocolate torte and the seasonal pumpkin cheesecake were both delicious. I will definitely be back for the wine and the food. 5 stars!

Brandon: Dined on a Sunday night at Balzac after recommendations from a couple of friends. The menu is constructed around shareable small plates, though there are some bigger entrees. There is plenty of wine to choose from though we didn't order any.We were seated quickly. It looked like there were only two servers for the dining room so I won't hold service against them on this visit. For as many tables as the servers worked, they stopped by plenty of times and were very pleasant. Depending where you sit, tables can be a bit too small and cluttered for sharing small plates.We did our best to share a couple of plates and also ordered cheeseburgers. We shared Peach Caprese and Sac Mac. Peach Caprese took full advantage of Peach season and kept this side simple and clean. I was a fan. The Sac Mac was well sauced and well balanced. Another win. The burger was delicious and straightforward; not an overwhelming amount of toppings. The french fries tasted exactly like McDonald's fries. Unsure if this is intentional. I would've preferred a thicker, twice fried french fry but their fries were not bad whatsoever.Overall, the prices at Balzac are reasonable and the portions fall in line with those prices. The food is prepared simply; they allow seasonal ingredients to shine. Execution was fine. I wasn't blown away by anything I ate, but nothing I had was bad. Balzac strikes me as a simple, reasonable and consistent local restaurant. I left satisfied and my wallet was happy with me. All wins in my book!

manuel miranda: I was surprised by the place, the very good service and the delicious food and the drinks are special.
