Kyle MaceyOctober 14, 2016Wonderful craft cocktails and atmosphere. Michelle is an amazing bartender who is glad to take you on an epic adventure of inebriation. If you start getting sassy, though, look out for the bar spoon!
Bathilda HFebruary 1, 2014Great happy hour snacks. Love their dipping sauces. The ambiance is perfect. Great service. The Kentucky Shrimp is amaze balls. Maple Ribs are okay. Try the BBQ chicken sandwich.
Jason SigalSeptember 14, 2014Good drinks, limited food menu, but they let us order from either of their next door restaurant partners, Carnevor (steak house) or Umami Moto (Asian/Sushi) as well.
Julie ParfreyMay 1, 2016It's all about the drinks here, but the appetizers we ordered were so good - oh the rice balls!
Stephen PeelerSeptember 13, 2013I see why it is a top 100 bar in the world! Gr8 local hole in the wall bar, 100+ bourbons to choose from very #Impressive!
VISIT MilwaukeeJanuary 3, 2012Listed on Food & Wine Magazine’s list of Top 50 Bars in America. A comfortable, chic atmosphere with delicious charcuterie, cheese and hand-crafted cocktails.
Mark EdwardNovember 19, 2011Check out the "On a Whim"! Seriously. Got this little gem on a whim (haha) and it is the best $13 I ever spent. It's a sweet cocktail, but also delicious!
Alcoholmanac MagazineApril 21, 2011Distil is THE new place for cocktails. The drinks are amazing and well worth the extra few bucks. Mathias is the man! Also, try the burger - three words: bourbon onion jam ... yes please!
gingerpieceJuly 13, 2012So pleased to find a home style (Toronto) cocktail bar in MKE. Inventive cocktail list and AMAZING bourbon collection.
Best burger in the city. Don't substitute or skip any of the toppings - everything on it is what makes this burger EPIC!
SURG Restaurant GroupOctober 21, 2011Distil's talented Mixologists have managed to get their hands on liquor that cannot be found in any other Milwaukee bar. Ask for a sample of one! Read more
Don't order something from a bottle or a tap - that's a waste of a golden opportunity. Classic and crafted cocktails are pure magic, and the small plates are a brilliant match.
Alexandra SwanApril 22, 2012It's cozy in here and the crafted drinks are nuts they have like 12 ingredients. They are pricey but worth it!
Michael VitucciSeptember 24, 2010Nice spot, great flights and awesome crew. After your experience stop by Whiskey Bar for some dancing, lounging and cool beats
Cassandra HirschOctober 16, 2011Classy bar with a relaxing atmosphere. The staff is awesome and the drinks are fantastic :)
Every Thursday is destination Thursday. 3 course dinner for $30.00 including a drink pairing with each course.
Nick BrennanSeptember 7, 2011Great craft beer and hand-crafted cocktail selection! I felt like the staff was a little uppity though...
You haven't lived until you've had the pumpkin pie martini. I'd trade my boyfriend for one.
Get dessert. Any dessert. Or get the Apt 137. Dessert in a glass.
Julie KrawczykNovember 14, 2010Get any of the CLASSIC cocktails. Especially any with egg white. Trust me. TRUST.
Blu PrintDecember 16, 2010Distil has the largest selection of bourbons and ryes this side the Mississippi. Lash out.
Trish SteedDecember 31, 2012Bad vibe when we walked in. Music was too "clubby" and the menu did not match what we were told when we made our reservation. Try Hotel Metro instead.

"Order the wings- they're super flavorful!"
Erica - 8.8
"Traditional appetizers get modern embellishments: tuna tartare is topped with a jewel-like quenelle of wasabi-flavored tobiko. Nicely browned brussels sprouts make a fine side dish."
Tap Milwaukee - 7.1
"Have a drink and enjoy the vibe. One of the best chill spots in Mil-Town."
