Top 5 Cocktail Bars in Wisconsin

211 King St, Madison, WI 53703, United States

“Out after a concert and looking for a late night meal before bed, searching for pizza came naturally as we walked back to the hotel. It was dark out, we couldn't see a clear sign for this place yet there was an inviting dark red glow where you're unsure if it's cozy or closed..it's cozy! What an atmosphere, an intimate one. The service was great, patrons engaged with one another in a balanced environment with upbeat music playing and a proper old fashioned in hand. Then came our sausage pizza which was a great thin crust with appropriately charred edges, the goat cheese provides a tangy backing and that sausage is perfect.”

“I had a great experience for my first time here. My drink was spot on mixed to perfection…the atmosphere was completely chill, laid back and perfect for a date. The tacos are amazing and on my second visit 1/10/24 they started an online pickup window in the bar so you don’t have to brave the cold to get deliciousness. How awesome is that!!”

668 S Pier Dr, Sheboygan, WI 53081, United States

“Nice servers but food was just okay. We ordered multiple pizzas and they were greasy and lacking in flavor. My cocktail was too sweet. We had visitors from abroad who were fascinated by the campfire dessert pizza. Needless to say, it looked like it was made by a 5 year old and I’m shocked that they would serve and charge what they did for it. This is not “fine dining” at its best.”

“WOW the Natty Oaks Christmas decorations are amazing! It should be enough of a reason to stop by! We stopped in on a Saturday night to celebrate my dad's birthday, we had a short wait so in the meantime we got drinks and visited the speakeasy. The menu has a good selection of your standard bar food, and everything we saw come out looked delicious. We enjoyed some cheese curds and deep fried mushrooms to start, and most got a burger for their dinner. I got the philly cheesesteak, it was a great amount of filling to bread ratio and very good. The homemade chips were also a star. The portion sizes were a good size and I enjoyed that every dish came with a cookie! I would like to come back to try some of the other things on the menu and see how it transforms for the summer or other fun events!”

118 S Main St, Eagle River, WI 54521, United States

“We loved our dinner here as we were passing through Eagle River. Super cool aesthetic and friendliest & most capable wait staff we’ve experienced in quite some time. We ordered two kids meals which came with great portion sizes and the sides of veggies & homemade ranch was huge & cut up super cute. The adults in our group had the lobster roll, logging camp burger, and garlic tots and they were all an 11/10. Logging camp burger was the best burger we’ve ever had. Highly recommend - we will be back!”

2778 N Weil St, Milwaukee, WI 53212, United States

“Pretty space with multiple seating areas offering tables, high tops, and bar. Low lighting creates an intimate setting perfect for couples and a relaxing vibe for friends. Service for us was fast and friendly, and our server was helpful in answering our questions and making recommendations. I had the Beet and Goat Cheese salad with Steak, and it was very good. I ordered my steak medium-rare, and it was done perfectly. While the dressing was a delicious vinegarette, there was a little too much to keep the greens from getting soggy the next day, so it's best to enjoy this all in one sitting. We had a party of 4 and were able to grab a high top around 6:45 on a Friday, which was lucky. This place is strictly first come first serve and fills up fast.”

217 Cottage Grove Rd, Madison, WI 53716, United States

“There was a super creepy man at the bar. The bartender kicked him out and was incredibly professional about it. As a woman, I felt very safe in this environment. I highly recommend this bar for any occasion, especially a girls night!”

124 N Water St, Milwaukee, WI 53202, United States

“We would like to extend our thanks to the Tied House for a truly amazing experience! It is immediately apparent that Adam and the staff have a true love and appreciation for what they do. The drinks are of the highest quality and are an incredible rainbow 🌈 of flavors on the palette. Truly the best atmosphere to be found in the Third Ward! Adam ensured we were completely comfortable and at home. The entire staff was excellent and well-versed in the multitude of finely crafted cocktails. The Tied House is an absolute must and a welcome respite for all people. A new location in Fort Lauderdale would be incredible! Our thanks to the entire staff!”

2657 University Ave, Green Bay, WI 54311, United States

“Ok dive bar. Margaritas are fine. I had a banana did not taste like banana but was good. Very Dive bar. Carefully either footing floor is slanted. Bar tender was nice.”

6038 W Lincoln Ave, West Allis, WI 53219, United States

“My husband and I went here for our first date night together & our experience with the Staff was wonderful. String Theory (Keith & Gare) played great Acoustic melodies. The atmosphere is cozy and zen and it's definitely worth checking out!”

300 Progress Dr Suite F, Cottage Grove, WI 53527, United States

“Great venue and location with plenty of seating and a playground that’s fenced in for the kids! We love places that are kid friendly! They have an awesome cocktail menu with a variety of flavored liqueurs. The XXX and Jessica’s Spicy Melon’s were delicious. The bartender was also great and super friendly, we came in within an hour of closing and she was more than willing to help us grab a drink and a bag of chips for the beer garden! We cannot wait to come back!”
