Take a sip of this story, brought to you by SoulBoxer – quality, ready-to-drink cocktails that promise less time making, more time drinking. Put a little soul in your life, Milwaukee.

BrownStone Social Lounge, an upscale urban lounge and eatery, will open to the public at 524 N. Water St. on Friday, Dec. 1.

The goal of the lounge, owned by Corey Smith, who also owns SkyBox Lounge, is to offer an intimate space featuring small plates (both sweet and savory), a high-end drink menu specializing in classic and unique cocktails, live entertainment and hookah service.

There will be a special Wednesday night happy hour that will focus on appealing to Downtown professionals.

The classy-yet-cozy decor includes couches, comfy chairs, a fireplace, artwork and "an all-around dope vibe for indiviuals 25 and up."

"This is going to be a very relaxing and elegant experience and we hope unlike any other lounge Downtown," says general manager Chauntel McKenzie. "We’re not holding back on anything."

Hours will be Tuesday through Saturday from 4 p.m. to 1 a.m. In the future, BrownStone may be open for lunch as well. Stay tuned to OnMilwaukee for a First Look in early December.
