Super cool little speakeasy. Would recommend the Arsonists Lullaby.

The ambiance of the bar is top notch with darkly dramatic lighting, everyone working was super nice and chill, interesting looking drinks... But my group of 3 just didn't like our cocktails. And unfortunately there was actually something about all of our drinks that kinda turned our stomachs a bit which caught us off guard and no one finished them. After we felt the need to get some sort of starch and detoured for unplanned pizza. Not sure what the issue was, we had eaten prior, weren't sick, not really a group of sensitive stomachs, certainly not new to drinking just... Something was off. I'll be back for the ambiance and the service, but I think I'll be sticking to the straight sake pours.

One of the truly unique places in Milwaukee, with a cozy, elegant, and authentic experience downtown Milwaukee. Additionally, they have a unique set of custom cocktails combining flavors and textures not typically seen in the drink scene. Strongly recommend reservations!
