Drink Wisconsinbly Pub

Milwaukee's best new bar embodies that old-school Wisconsin tavern feel and is nestled in one of the most up-and-coming areas in the city. Drink Wisconsinbly Pub may resemble a 2016-17 version of a 1960s tavern with its kitschy lamps emblazoned with Wisconsin postcards and brewery logos, but the fun never stops flowing from their bubbler-esque tap of Soul Boxer Old Fashioned. Beer lovers won't be disappointed with the Sconnie-focused tap list either.

OnMilwaukee editors' pick: The Outsider at Kimpton Journeyman Hotel

Runners up: 
2. Good City Brewing Company
3. The Outsider at The Kimpton Journeyman Hotel
4. Bavarian Bierhaus
5. Third Space Brewing

This year we also asked a variety of prominent Milwaukeeans to weigh in on their pick for specific categories. For this category, we consulted Brian West, publisher of Alcoholmanac.

West's pick: Phoenix Cocktail Club
Milwaukee saw an impressive number of high-quality bar openings this past year, and picking one as "the best" sure isn't easy. But with a figurative gun to my head, I'd give it to Phoenix Cocktail Club. Their innovative, fun, playful cocktail program is accompanied by a stellar menu featuring dishes inspired by cuisine from all over the world. The vibe is swanky yet approachable. Where else can you feel equally comfortable getting fancy with a cocktail while in jeans and a tee, or slumming it with a slushie in a suit and tie?
