Reviews summary

This restaurant serves as a hidden gem for cocktail lovers, boasting an inviting, speakeasy-inspired ambiance with dim lighting and vintage decor. Guests praise the quick, friendly service and unique drink offerings, including classic cocktails and boozy milkshakes. While outdoor seating enhances its appeal, the interior layout can be a bit awkward for larger groups. A recent surcharge on drinks may be a concern, but the overall experience remains enjoyable, particularly during happy hour. This retro establishment is ideal for a casual night out, although it may not be the best choice for out-of-town visitors.

We sat outside at the picnic tables. The drinks were delicious! The atmosphere, music, and ambiance were fantastic.

**Surcharge Alert:** There's a $1 surcharge per drink due to rising costs, which seems to affect restaurants and not consumers. I didn’t adjust the tip to compensate for it because the waiter was excellent, but I suggest you be bolder than I was and consider doing so until the owner rethinks this policy. Overall, it’s a fun bar with nice outdoor seating, and the dimly lit interior creates a pleasant atmosphere. However, seating can be a bit awkward, especially for a party of four, which is fairly common. Initially, we were seated at a table on one side, and we couldn’t get chairs on the other side. Fortunately, we were moved to another area with proper seating arrangement where we could face each other. It’s a nice place, but I wouldn’t specifically recommend it for out-of-town guests. The drinks were the Blue Hawaii, which came with a lot of ice but were still presented well.

Excellent spot for a nite cap or start to an evening out. Lots of variety of classic cocktails, ice cream drinks, and blended concoctions. Scratch Brand dairy-free ice cream available!

Awesome old school vintage cocktail lounge. Prices are fair for the fancy drinks. Also have outdoor seating options in summer and cool igloos and Christmas decorations for the holidays.

This place is absolutely amazing! I felt like I was in a movie the entire time I was there. The dim red lighting creates a genuine speakeasy atmosphere that enhances the overall experience.

This is truly one of the most unique places to enjoy a cocktail. The dim lighting, wood paneling, and leather seating create an amazing retro atmosphere that you won't want to miss.

This restaurant is Milwaukee's hidden gem for cocktails, reminiscent of the stylish days of the Rat Pack. With cigarette machines lining the hallway, it exudes an air of nostalgia. I've been a regular for 40 years...
