They were short staffed and so that impacts the rating. Sat outside where the scenery was cars. Just had drinks.

Taylor Its by far one of my favorite bars to hang out and relax with a lot of the locals. Great vibes, older crowd, no drama, just a good time!!!! Always on my to go list if I plan a night downtown. I love the outdoor seating underhang. Heating definitely keeps it comfortable.

Brandon is the best & only bartender I will come to Taylor’s for. Not saying the other bartenders aren’t good, he’s just that amazing. This man has saved me from multiple interactions with unnecessary people, on top of making sure I get home safe at the end of the night. He only deserves the best, come see him Sunday-Tuesday!

My husband and I visited Taylors twice on our vacation this week to Milwaukee. Brandon was awesome and created a fun, relaxed atmosphere. He was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Taylors is very close to a lot of great restaurants too so it has an awesome location. Thanks for a fun time!

Brandon is so personable and makes amazing drinks he calls his “Mona Lisa’s” where he takes any liquor and flavor profile you are looking for and puts his own spin on it. We came in on a Monday and returned on a Tuesday where he put a vintage spin on things. He is the best!!!

Stopped by on a Sunday evening. Quiet at first, with a good selection of $3 pints on draft. Had a cocktail later on from Brandon, a total sweetheart. Great rum drink! Cant wait to come back!

Brandon and Sharon are outstanding. Our delicious cocktails couldn’t have been more perfectly made, and the flatbread pizza was the cherry on top. The cocktail menu is expansive, and the service could not have been better. We will be back!

Drinks could have been made at home not a very sophisticated sip into my $10 craft cocktails. Also, there was no vermouth in my dirty martini and our waitress left halfway through service passing us along to a more rattled less friendly gal.

Review №11

Brandon is wonderful. He was able to make the best martinis off of the description of what you want. 10/10. His drinks are absolute Mona Lisas - complete works of art.

Brandon is seriously the best. I requested a ginger ale and the soda gun was out of ginger ale. Brandon stopped what he was doing to personally go down to the storage room and find me a ginger ale. He made my night!!

Review №15

We had a reservation, walked in without being greeted and asked if we should seat ourselves. They responded “yes” so we sat at a high top by the bar. Was not greeted at our table so we moved to the bar. After 15 minutes without service we left.

Review №16

Its an option that Id seldom pick.Not standing because of great food and drink. Its the vibe and lack of options in the city. It took a while before I was acknowledged and my order taken. My drink ok.

Review №17

Had an amazing round of drinks here from the bar. Atmosphere was great for a Thursday night, bartender was very pleasant and made some some good “dealer’s choice” drinks for us. Overall pretty fun! Having the option of outdoor seating is always a plus.

Review №19

Brandon is an amazing person to have at Taylor’s. He made me the Best Mocktail I have ever had in my life! Not only does he make the best drinks, my friend had his Monalisa. Which apparently he puts his all into his 1 of a kind drinks. As I said, I had the best mocktail ever!!! I definitely recommend for anyone in Wisconsin!!! He helped me navigate through the city with his amazing suggestions.

The best bar experience for anyone that actually wants to have a conversation with the people next to them. Great beer, great drink recommendations, great times. Huge bonus if you get Brandon or Sophia as bartenders.

Nice crowd. Good drinks. The waitress we had at first outside was great the second one later in the evening left something to be desired. She was spending too much time with her boyfriend to serve us right.

Took a century for the server to come to our table to offer something to drink, even though she was not that busy and looked to our table couple of times. I had to raise my hand to grab her attention then she finally came over.Very good music selection the whole night! Really liked that and the drinks were ok, 2 beers and 5 mojitos = $53This is a good place for bar hooping as well to spend the night if you want. Lots of action and outside too, it is next to other 3-4 bars so lot of people around having good times.

Taylors is a staple of the Milwaukee night life. They have a great staff and a nice atmosphere. You can lounge in the lounge or hang on the patio in front watching all that goes on around the area. I recommend the latter.

Ta
Review №47

We walked in the freezing cold from our hotel to have a few drinks but the bartender turned us away at 11:30 without even one drink because he wanted to go home early. Worst experience I have ever had at a business. I have never seen such disrespect and laziness from an employee before. Just wanted one drink after a night out at the concert and got turned away because the bartender was lazy and disrespectful.

Cool neat what appears to be original 1950s bar. Very popular night spot w craft brew. Skip the house pizza.

Jo
Review №55

Taylors is a lot smaller than I expected when I first walked in. You feel that there are more than one level, but the stairs up just go to the DJ booth and the stairs down go to the restrooms. Overall not a bad vibe; I feel this place invites you in to have a few beers, but doesnt grab you and make you want to stay.

Bartenders are always great and pour good drinks even when its slammed.

The Bartender or the waitress is a thief. Bought 5 beers and i get a check for 25 and tip to 30. Look at my credit card statement and i got charged 125! Outragous, never coming back in here. Do NOT trust these people
