We were here for one of the Commercialist’s Charlie Brown Christmas shows and the atmosphere was perfectly cozy and intimate! And all our cocktails were delicious. As a note, this show was sold out and we arrived ~20 minutes early, leading to seats behind the bar which was slightly distracting during the show, and we needed those 20 minutes to get our drinks. So plan to arrive plenty early for busy shows.

Saying this establishment is unique is an understatement. Let's cover the restaurant first. So when you enter, you pass in front of the kitchen. It's a small facility, but guess what? It works. Intimate classy dining. We had a delicious small pizza, but the brushetta (sp I know was fantastic but there should have been a warning of the triple garlic that was added. I needed a half tube of mentos to make me just alittle comfortable to basically talk to my gal. This was our pre-valentines date. The cool surprise was the feature band walking thru the front door playing jazz music. After dinner was the real treat. We seen this band before at a beer garden, but inclosed they sounded even better cause this group is very tight in sound and extremely entertaining. The bar was packed and hitting on all cylinders. Please support your local venues cause they too need to survive.

The overall ambiance of the place was fire. Great music and drinks overall. The bartender Ben made us amazing drinks. My wife said his Paloma was the best one she’s ever had. He also made me a Bramble without Creme de Mure and it was still tasty and delicious. He worked his tail off to make us what we asked for. He’s a a great addition to their team and we were truly impressed by his cocktail-making skills. Very much recommend!

We had one night in Milwaukee and started over at Foundation. We wanted to see what some local dives were like and boy were we glad we stumbled into this place. Sean, the bartender, was exceptionally friendly and talented at his craft. The decor was really cool, and next door, their jazz bar was closed, but I imagine it would be really cool as well. Definitely recommend anyone try this local gem!

Mike Kubicki, Erin Boehme, and the crew put on a great show. Incredible jazz instrumentation. Immaculate vibes. And I always love being served by the bartender Shaun and having great conversations with the patrons. Love it every time.

Great vibe, quite small, elegant but still Riverwesty. Great place for a second date or after dinner with out of town friends. I want to be there during a midnight blizzard listening to jazz and drinking Cocktails with amarone.

Laid back, chill atmosphere to grab a great cocktail and listen to relaxing live music. The space is cozy with nice decor - dark blue walls with gold ceiling give it a sophisticated vibe.

this place is without a doubt the hottest jazz club in town now. the trio (lenard simpson) saturday night was cooking. dinner first and then hot jazz on a cold night. outstanding!!
