Lost Whale

One of my favorite bars in the city. I try to go by as often as possible. Amazing drinks, great staff!

I've been to Lost Whale a few times in the past month, and every time the cocktails are incredible, the service is great, and the atmosphere is perfect for good conversation. My favorite cocktail spot in the area!

Fun drinks. Fun bar. Good atmosphere. The happy hour had lots of options! The drinks are unique and not something you can find everywhere else. As expected with the fun cocktails, a little pricey but great during happy hour. The staff is super friendly and doesn’t feel like they are in your face all the time. Great non alcoholic options as well. The decor was very stylish and everything was clean! Would definitely go back.

Great cocktail bar popular with locals. The staff is friendly & it’s popular for happy hour during the week. The menu regularly changes but the staples like the Wisco Old Fashioned are always good!

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.

This was a weird one to evaluate. My friend and I showed up on one of the few rainy days the week after Summerfest ended. Lost Whale was quiet at 5:45 PM. Their Happy Hour is amazing - $5.50, but the drinks are restricted to their house list if you choose to enjoy happy hour pricing. I didn’t want to mix booze, but the price was too good to refuse. Their set cocktails are made in a flash, the template set in stone, and robotic in nature. Asking for something to meet my palate was not encouraged. Lost Whale makes me ponder what is truly the art of mixology. Is it creating a cool drink list? Or, is it creating cocktails that meet your customer’s needs? I’m old, so templates annoy me. Most people today enjoy uniformity. Drink lists rule I guess. Ben was our server, and he was friendly enough. Lost Whale is slick without pretension. I enjoyed the stylish seating and comfy armchairs. It’s small, but not claustrophobic, good for a date or a tryst. Lost Whale is sort of an upscale Mothership. It would be ideal, if I could get a custom, bespoke cocktail. Yet, I crave personal attention. If you don’t, Lost Whale might fit the template of the “perfect” Milwaukee cocktail lounge.

One of my favorite spots in Milwaukee. Fantastic cocktails, with fun themes around holidays and seasons to keep things extra interesting. It’s the place I always want to go visit- it’s so much fun! The staff is entertaining and friendly, and they play some great classic movies that are fun to have on in the background.

Good experience. You're immediately greeted by a cutout of Danny DeVito when you walk in. They play "Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia" episodes all the time from what im guessing because thats all that was on the TV. There is a small bar and comfortable seating surrounding it. The drinks are a little on the higher side but with the specials it actually wasn't too bad. The bathroom had a toilet and sink but there was no water to wash my hands. I tried to turn it on and nothing came out.
