The cocktails are skillfully crafted and consistently delicious. During my last visit, I was impressed to see a mini origami crane in my drink!

However, if that’s not something you seek, Lost Whale could very well represent the ideal Milwaukee cocktail lounge for you.

The patio features lovely gas-lit bonfires that add to the ambiance. I tried the Wisconsin Old Fashioned, and it was fantastic. There’s plenty of comfortable seating to kick back and enjoy some time with friends.
