Boone & Crockett

A nice taste of Milwaukee. Right on the lake, good non expensive drinks, local food trucks and dog friendly! The music is a bit loud at times so not ideal to sit inside if you want to have an intimate convo. However, the lakeside seating and the patio were tranquil.

Vibe is at 11. Solid cocktails. Brandy old fashioned when you’re in Wisconsin. Bartenders are legit. Causal homey inside atmosphere and great outdoor patio overlooking the Milwaukee River. A special slice of Sconnie summer.

I love this place. Great view, good vibes. It gets crowded in the summer so don’t always count on getting a table by the water. Still worth the visit though!! Enjoy coming here Sundays for their all day happy hour.

I had a great experience for my first time here. My drink was spot on mixed to perfection…the atmosphere was completely chill, laid back and perfect for a date. The tacos are amazing and on my second visit 1/10/24 they started an online pickup window in the bar so you don’t have to brave the cold to get deliciousness. How awesome is that!!

OK - def one of the better cocktails I’ve had in the city. I had their on-special Mezcal with banana liqueur drink ($12). Woah 👌🏼 Not only that, but the environment is just too unique. This is a great date spot. Even if you don’t like the eclectic inside, you can take it to the patio. Massive patio on the river, multiple food trucks. How can you and a party or large group NOT be happy coming here?? This is it. This is the bar that you’ve been looking for in MKE. Parking is ok down here. You’ll have to park on the street. It’s pretty much in its own pocket within a sort of marina district. Also, service was pretty sweet too. Thanks!

Bar tenders were extremely friendly, the atmosphere was fun and my dogs loved it too! The old fashioneds were great! We ordered a few things off of a limited menu during happy hour, corn fritters and a cheese dip with chips that were good.

Great menu selection and music choice. The staff were knowledge and had some good recommendations. Served by Henry who knows his stuff. Long Island ice tea was has well. No bar snacks though what a shame. Open till 2am so that is awesome. Will be back again

Pretty rugged place! Very unique ans chic interiors I was there around halloween, interiors were very spooky which was main attraction For drinks we had: old fashioned, trinidad, negroni and fall special margarita ( star anise infused) Loved all of em! Def check it out.

I must revise my initial review of Boone and Crockett. I assume the whole scene and attitude change outside of the warmer months. Before a Wednesday evening performance at Next Act Theater, my wife and I stopped into B & C. The demographic was completely the opposite from my past visit. I thought I was at a corner tap in West Allis. Three middle-aged folks were playing cards at the bar, and the older couple to our right were there for the happy hour specials during the week. Where were those Marquette sorority and frat brats? The bartender couldn't be friendlier. Where was the surly and burly one from summer? Was I in the Twilight Zone? Usually, a bar draws a certain demographic, and that becomes its defining character. It appears Boone and Crockett is schizophrenic, redefining itself depending on the day and season. That makes Boone and Crockett very unique. Of course, if the burly, surly one is working the bar, I will walk out and leave. He's a jerk of the highest order. However, I will gladly return to Boone and Crockett.

Boone and Crockett is one of my favorite spots to stop by for a craft cocktail, especially when the weather is nice out! The bar itself has a very dark ambience with dimmer lighting overall but a large amount of seating available (and TVs for watching sports). I love the option to sit outside as well with a lake front view or on the picnic tables with heaters for when it's cooler. They are dog friendly which is a bonus! The Gin Bramble is my favorite go-to drink- it is slightly sweet but tart from lemonade/gin making it a perfect summer drink! I feel like every time I go it is always busy so sometimes you do need to wait a bit for a drink at the bar, however the staff has always been super nice! Would recommend if you're looking for a bar offering featured cocktails, mocktail options, and variety of beers/wine options with a lake view and lots of seating options!

I was recently gifted this really cool coupon book filled with deals for women-owned businesses in Milwaukee. Now, I've been a fan of Boone & Crockett for some time but I had zero clue it was a woman-owned business. So happy to discover that they're woman owned in addition to be amazing in all kinds of ways. As I've said before, their vibe it pitch perfect Wisconsin, their mixology is on point, and their Sunday happy hour is the stuff dreams are made of. I recently popped in on a Sunday for an after date cocktail. It happened to be at the end of a Packers game so was a little more bustling than your typical Sunday evening. That said, we were easily able to find seats and loved that they had live music going on. I ordered their negroni (*chef's kiss*) and enjoyed the candlelit atmosphere while sipping a delicious beverage. It's makes for a great date cocktail spot! Get to it!

If my childhood environment and hipsters had a baby and then decorated the nursery, this is what it would look like. This place is huge (so sometimes a wait) I really want to vibe here in the nice weather. The drinks are great, price is mid range, tons of seating. Bartenders were chill. Just go.

My favorite old fashioned in Milwaukee. Love the "up north" feel and bartenders have always been nice. They don't serve food but you can order for deliver or they will have w food trucks once the weather is nicer.

Boone & Crockett might be my favorite cocktail bar in Milwaukee. They have a great happy hour with $7 cocktails, and I've never had a bad drink. I've tried most of them on the menu. It's a great place for a date night or to hang out with friends. The music is pretty good, and it's not too loud. The bartenders are always nice as well and make great recommendations. Then, you can go outside to a great view of the water, and the Taco Moto food truck outside is really good.

Solid place to get a cocktail or beer. The atmosphere is welcoming, yet cozy, with different areas in the same room having very different vibes. Want to be left in peace with your sweetie or group? Grab a booth. Want to interact with anyone, literally ANYONE who comes in? Sit at the bar. Want to be able to talk to your friends, but are open to making new ones? Grab a table in the middle of the room. Sometimes it's quiet in here, and sometimes, well, not so much. Hungry? No food here, but there is usually a food truck on the premises and you can bring your food inside and eat. They're welcoming that way. 39/2024

When I have friends visiting, Boone & Crockett is usually on the list. It has a great ambiance inside and a beautiful view outside of the river when the weather is nicer. It's also where my partner & I had our second date (supposedly was supposed to be the first but I decided to schedule it on a Monday so he had to choose a different place). Just came again last week for a friend group bar crawl! DRINKS: At this point, between my friends and I, I've tasted/tried at least 75% of their house cocktail menu. I prefer mine stronger/spirit-forward and/or sour so my favorites are the old fashioned, bourbon & coffee (i'll order anything with caffeine), Trinidad sour. They have a HH EVERY DAY 4-7pm. Drinks are well priced! FOOD: They don't serve food but they partner with the Taco Moto truck outside which will bring your food to your table! VIBE: Greatttt date spot! Looks like a large hunters cabin inside with older chandeliers and dim lighting. Good amount of seating but they can get very busy. During the warmer months, they do have outdoor seating and occasional live music and it's right along the river. Location/Parking: Kind of an isolated area with a long stretch of road with easy street parking.

What a funky little place. This was recommended to us when my friends and I were planning a weekend trip to the area - and I'm so glad we went. It has the feel of a dive bar, but upscale cocktails! Drinks were good - not overpriced - and service was quick. We enjoyed just hanging out, people watching, and catching a pre-dinner drink. We didn't check out the food trucks out back - but love that that is an option!

Wow! I am a bartender and I don't even come close to this level of service! Henry is beyond amazing!!!

The bartenders are fun and make the vibe. The ambiance gives bougie hipster. But the drinks meet the mark!!

I'm totally biased, because I frequent B&C often. My go-to is a sidecar, but their menu accommodates just about anyone, including having a wide variety of quality spirits. The bartenders are friendly and it's the perfect place to grab drinks, especially during the summer (their patio is the perfect vibe)! Added bonus: TACO MOTO!

While I do miss the cozy nook of their original location on KK, what they have done with the bigger space along the river is nothing short of amazing. Best patio and best vibes in the city! This hipster spot on the river offers prime views of the revered Hoan Bridge, great cocktails, food trucks and live music most nights of the week. Taco Moto food truck has some very unique and interesting taco flavors, highly recommend! When its too cold outside, venture into the main bar and enjoy some amazing cocktails in a dimly lit, hunting lodge setting. The chandeliers above give off a sophisticated vibe while the cozy booths and warm, dark wood interior make this a great spot to hang out and sip on some awesome cocktails. Bonus: The Cooperage is a killer music venue attached to the same building, but you can only access the entrance through the patio out back. Milwaukee Pedal Tavern is located out front and Brew City Kayaks shares the patio space if you want to rent a kayak and hit the water. This place has a lot going on and has something for everyone. Drinks, good food, lively atmosphere and one of the best patios in the city. Definitely a Milwaukee gem and a go to spot any time of year!

Great bar. We went here randomly for a drink in the afternoon before an early dinner and ended up getting some live DJ music we didn't plan on! The taco truck was delicious for some queso and guacamole before dinner. The inside has rustic old school vibes while the outdoors feels more... parking lot tiki bar chic? Lots of picnic tables and some covered seating. This is also randomly the launch spot for kayaking.

My absolute FAVORITE craft cocktail place *hands down* in Milwaukee. The reason you ask? The HAPPY HOUR that lasts from 4-7pm EVERY DAY for a select cocktail menu. My favorites on this happy hour list are the Manhattan, Negroni, sazerac, Trinidad sour and bourbon&coffee. Please come by and try. They have a gorgeous patio that overlooks the Milwaukee river. They have plentiful space for large groups. Not to mention the food trucks that are available if you need a quick bite. Taco moto is my favorite place to get chips and queso. This place is the ULTIMATE food truck for quality food. In conclusion, why haven't you come here sooner!

The happy cocktails, the ambience, the dog friendly environment, the views of Lake Michigan, the live DJ and the live broadcast of the Bucks game- Is there a better spot to hit up during game day? Boone is an absolute winner in my books for all things game day (Packers, Brewers and Bucks). Their 5$ happy hour cocktails will MAKE YOUR DAY (Ask for Al, he is the best bartender they have). They do not offer food but have a few excellent food trucks outside (Maya Ophelias and Taco Moto are my most favorite) that will fill your belly and your soul. A very inclusive environment that I always appreciate, this place should be on your Milwaukee Bucket list.

Well made house drinks at a reasonable price, but omg the music in this place is just frigging horrific! It's like somebody who took too many hits of acid during the early 2000s "angst" phase of music, decided to punish everyone around them by playing obscure crap they think that other people will think is cool! Very good drinks, sh*t for music!

I've got to be honest, we weren't sure what to think when we walked into Boone and Crockett. The inside of the bar is like a hunting lodge, while the backyard harbor area is more like a club. But, if you're in your mid-30s like we are, rest assured, this is an incredible stop on a weekend afternoon, a great bar serving up surprisingly great drinks with a unique vibe and an indelible view.

It's a brilliant day for a cocktail. Come get your coupe on. But honestly, you can get any beverage you desire. Have a beer on draft or old school can or Coors Banquet. Enjoy some wine. Have an NA drink. Do you...and the Boone and the Crockett will deliver. It's really delightful in here. The space is lovely. You can cozy up to the bar or snuggle up in a booth. The lighting is fantastic. It's dark, but the chandeliers are bright. I ordered classic cocktails off the menu, and they were delivered with a smile. It's great for a group here or lovely for a date. Grab tacos at Taco Moto. Bring your furry friend. Just have fun and do as they ask...don't be a dick. Lots of taxidermy here.

I visited Boone and Crockett for a end of the year party last year. I was astonished at how eclectic and unique the inside was. I got food from a delicious taco truck outside and then moved inside for a drink or two. It was so crowded (very pre COVID), but it was fun and everyone seemed excited to be there. It took a minute to get drinks but that was mainly because of the crowd. I haven't been there on my own or with a friend. I'd be curious to see what it's like a little bit more low key. I'd love to wander around and check out the rest of the bar. Another trip!

Not my first visit although it's an awesome place to visit. A very pleasant bar atmosphere with a great selection of drinks. My visit was later in the afternoon and it was basically full, the bartenders did a great job of serving and keeping up.

Beautiful cozy space for a date night with great soul music DJs, real drinks, real people, real music, real atmosphere!

Best vibes in Milwaukee, hands down. If you can only go to one spot in Milwaukee, Boone is a must any time of year. It's my #1 favorite bar in the city. You want fun, sexy vibes? Great drinks both filled with the booze and NA? Love an old fashioned? Yummy food? Patio scene? This is the spot. The Boone team delivers amazing vibes welcoming to all. They have events throughout the year, parking is great (reminder not to drink and drive). This is great spot for larger groups, date night, sitting at the bar and journaling by candle light, this place screams, 'you belong here'. I hope you have an amazing experience and don't miss the view of the hoan bridge from the covered outside bar in winter time. Follow their social media for special events like bingo, concerts, mini festivals and so much more. Love you Boone!

Fun spot in Walker's Point with a great vibe, fun atmosphere, $9 drink menu with great offerings and a younger crowd (not that it stopped us from checking it out!) A variety of seating makes this a great place to go with friends, especially before or after dinner.

I've been here twice and I've had good experiences both times. The first time was in the late fall, it was a nice low-key evening. second time was in the summer, and we had a blast. There were food trucks, live music, and a good selection of cocktails. I'll be back again for more!

Great place to grab on cocktail and sit by the water. Live music is always a plus. Looking forward to coming back.

one of the best cocktail bars in Milwaukee -- huge fan! a bit off the beaten path, which is very convenient for parking. spacious outdoor patio overlooking the River that you can enjoy year round (they often have fire pits going & some of it is enclosed). also have food trucks parked outside where you can grab a bite! no kitchen in the bar. inside is often very busy, so it might take a minute to grab a drink or a seat. they have a standard cocktail menu as well as unique specials. can get anything from a fancy cocktail to a beer & a shot.

Boone and Crockett is a sure thing. You're going to like it. Isn't that what everyone wants to know when they're checking out a new bar? I say this confidently as Boone has something for just about everyone. They offer: -A hunting lodge-themed atmosphere, meaning you can come dressed casually -Low lighting, cozy vibes, meaning you can come dressed a bit nicer as well -Interesting, creative cocktails, if you are an adventurous drinker -An extensive selection of beers, if you like to stick with your go-to's -Fun non-alcoholic cocktails, if you're not drinking -River front seating (with THE best view of the Hoan Bridge), if you're an outdoor/patio person -A spacious interior with plenty of tables, if you're an indoor person -Access to on-site food trucks -Regular live music -An excellent, friendly staff Like I said, it's a sure thing!

Imagine Door County and Route 66 having a baby. This is what Boone and Crockett feels like. This was my first time at Boone and Crockett after hearing so many great things about their Old Fashions. I came with a group of 6 on a Saturday at around 5:30pm and was able to find table top seating. (Good luck trying to find seating on a Friday night!) The bar was very busy and it took about 15 minutes to get drinks. Their old fashions tasted classic and they use luxardo maraschino cherries, which makes all the difference. But their featured cocktails were something else! The cocktails here are unique and enticing. My favorite was the Parrot Taking a Bath in Tea. It was light, frothy, and I thought there was egg white in it. Sadly, I didn't get a chance to try Taco Moto outside as we stopped in before our dinner reservations. But all the more reasons to come back. The band was just setting up but I'll be back to enjoy live music, cocktails, and tacos.

Came on a nice summers day with friends for a some drinks; the drinks were delicious and there was live music outside! We had a great time, there is plentiful seating and it's beautifully placed by the lake too. I have yet to return to try the food but am hoping to return!

Super fun atmosphere! Their outside patio is right on the Milwaukee River, so as you can imagine it's great for Summer and early-Fall days. There's also an outdoor bar, a few food trucks, and plenty of picnic table seating for big groups. My absolute favorite of the food trucks is Taco Moto - both their chips/queso and their corn cup are phenomenal!! They have a good variety of street tacos too, which are very very tasty. The inside bar has a modern-tavern feel, which I love. They've got great happy hour deals too - $5 specialty cocktails! I'd recommend the Gin Bramble!

Boone and Crockett is a hip, newer contribution to the growing Walker's Point scene. They have a wide variety of both craft beers and delicious cocktails available. I normally would stick with beer, but Boone and Crockett is somewhere I would suggest a cocktail, as they are unique and expertly done. The service is solid, and the atmosphere is pretty cool - the décor definitely plays off the name, with somewhat of an old Western/Americana feel with plenty of woodwork and taxidermy. The seating is one of my favorite things about the place; indoor and outdoor, with mismatched stools, chairs, and different types of tables creating both open spaces to socialize and cozy nooks if that's more what you're interested in. The patio offers an outside bar, heaters, and a campfire, as well as Taco MOTO - food at a bar is always a plus!

I just love this spot! It is just a short spot away, love the outside picnic table seating, by the water, always packed. The food trucks have been great so far, vegan at Ophelias and the best nacho chips from the one thats always there. Good people. Good times. Ive been twice this spring already and plan to return plenty of time this summer. Oh yes and the drinks are pretty good too! haha. If it seems like you are going down a road to no where, that is correct!

I love Boone and Crockett and am sad to see them leave Bay View. I know they are moving to a bigger location in Walkers Point and am sure they will do great there, but they will be missed. It's a very cool, intimate bar that serves excellent drinks. Even better, the specialty drinks are $5 between 4-7 pm. Some of my favorites are the Trinidad Sour and the Manhattan up. The bartenders are friendly and very knowledgeable. If you're hungry, there is a taco truck in the back with some good eats. There is also an outdoor bar as well. I'm pretty excited to see what the 'new' Boone and Crockett will be in the new location, but will definitely miss it in Bay View.

tl;dr one of the best cocktail bars in Milwaukee. Intimate, dark, upscale yet unpretentious, it's the ultimate hipster hangout yet my father-in-law feels comfortable here. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable, they serve a killer Old Fashioned aged from casks on the ceiling, the decor is in an extremely unique victorian hunting lodge style, and they have a great outdoor patio area, fire pit and all, with Gypsy Taco parked in back. I typically order an Old Fashioned, as they make Wisconsin proud, but, I also find myself ordering from their speciality menu that is always changing. Don't let the prices scare you, they are worth every penny. Boone is the perfect spot to catch up with friends and enjoy delicious hand-crafted cocktails in a cozy setting, time and time again. I can only hope that when they move into their new, bigger space that they can keep the intimate charm that we all fell in love with.

So yesterday, it finally occurred to me to put in an order (through square) for a six-pack of beer in combination with my Maya Ophelia's food pick-up. The whole process online is so easy! I picked 2 Moon Man, 2 Spotted Cow, and 2 Totally Naked, and it comes to $1 per these particular beers/cans. Not bad at all! You can mix and match with several other choices, but I went all New Glarus because, why not? Of course, they have other choices like cocktail kits as part of the online offer. The pick-up is quite easy. You call them when you get there and someone brings your order to your car. They are masked, and you need to be masked as well. Oh, and they threw in a cozie with the 6-pack, which is a nice touch.

Fun place with a great atmosphere! You can sit inside or outside and they have food trucks! Cute place

the service was terrible, the waiter denied our request for their "spring cocktails". than I said I'll wait for the other bartender to make me one of their cocktails and he started cursing us out for no reason. great first experience.

I love the ambience the wine selection is impeccable the service is second to none. If you have the beans, pamper yourself with a top shelf, whiskey selection.

Very fun atmosphere! A little dead this Thursday when I was there but definitely would be great in the summer with all the outdoor bars open! The taco truck was good! Great queso! Inside, we waited a LONG time to order. And it wasn't crowded. My friend and I went over to a different spot on the car and were helped quicker. The rest of my group however, wanted to close their tab and the bartender was so rude! "Well you shoulda said that in the first place!" When she literally just took their cards and never gave it back.

If you're looking for a Speakeasy that has no sign and is out of the way and offers you a truly great experience, than tell your Uber driver to get yhere! The decor is hipster without being too pretentious. An incredible wall of whiskeys, bourbons and scotches. There are a number of different areas you can sit and talk with friends. A very warm vibe! $5 happy hour specials! Excellent mixology here. Great service from Rob and Rocky. They offer an impressive list of featured cocktails as well as 8 draft beer lines that offer eclectic choices. HINT: this would be a great place for a first date, or to meet your friends after work or simply a place for some day drinking after 3 PM!

tl;dr cool spot in Bay View for craft cocktails and beautiful back outdoor patio ready for summertime. It's the best blend of casual and chandeliers (they have a quite a few of them.) Definitely consider hipster for the craft cocktails, decor and the clientele (it's right on KK.) I've really enjoyed the Camp Radler and the Old Fashion - they also have a fair amount of beers on tap. The place can get a little overwhelming when it's a very crowded weekend night. Gypsy Tacos food truck is also out back and is usually always there when I've visited (I think he's mobile but B&C is his "home") and available for cheap eats and delicious tacos ranging from pork, chicken and vegetarian. I always try to hit up this place whenever I'm in Bay View and I've added it to the regular rotation. I've heard great things about the $5 happy hour there!

Boone and Crockett continues to be one of my favorite go-tos in the city and here's why: -A consistent and robust cocktail menu -The bartenders know their stuff, and prove it again and again -Elevated casual vibe -It also has this hipster cabin up north vibe going on that's not as "camp" as, say, other spots in MKE -Plenty of space inside to spread out and not feel cramped or on top of one another -Ample free parking -Great patio outside with the ability to walk over to the water and stare longingly -Um, last but not least, tacos are outside, helllloooo

I can't wait to be a regular here. Absolutely loved my first visit to Boone & Crockett's new location. (Ok, ok, not so new now but I took my sweet time stopping in. Shame on me!) I felt like I was walking into an old but very trendy western. All of the finishes and decor are so well done. They managed to maintain the intimacy of the old space even though this new location is much bigger and a space you could actually camp out at for awhile with a group of friends. They have a nice mix of booths, bar stools, and armchairs- something for everyone! I bet this is a great place to catch some live music. It was very crowded when we were in, but I still didn't have to wait more than five minutes for a drink. If you've not been here before, the barrel aged old fashioneds are a must try. Hands down the best I've ever had! But from there, the cocktail list is extensive and I've yet to be let down.

I've frequented Boone for years now and have found that it's great for so many different crowds and occasions. It's definitely one of my top recommendations whenever someone is looking for a drink spot in Milwaukee. Tucked back in the harbor of Walkers Point it's nice to have a great bar option with a parking lot. They are dog friendly and have an amazing taco truck outside if you are looking for a bite. The cocktails are really reasonably priced and I've never had one I didn't like! On our most recent visit we stopped by on a Thursday after dinner and I tried two new cocktails on the fall seasonal menu. First I tried the anise Margarita, it was a nice balance of Margarita and apple cider with spice. It went down way too easy! Next, I tried the espresso martini and that was very smooth, I like that it was made with cold brew. My fiancé tried the seasonal old fashioned that was made with Jaeger and he also really enjoyed it. The bartenders here are always attentive and take their time to make quality drinks for each customer. I've also appreciated that they always make sure people are acting right so everyone can enjoy their time there. Thanks for all you do Boone!

I was a fan of Boone and Crockett in Bay View, but I found their spot a little cramped (and its growing popularity only added to that feeling.) This new spot opened in 2018 and is very spacious, comfortable and beautifully designed. In addition to the indoor space, there is an outdoor patio with food trucks and a view of the Hoan Bridge (and the parking lot.) The new location a bit off the beaten path in Walker's Point/Harbor District. You'll find it at 818 South Water Street, a couple of blocks east and a little south from the corner of 1st and National. (There is little signage on the building, but it's easy to see from the parking lot beside the building.) Boone and Crockett shares an old cream-city brick building with The Cooperage (an event space), Taco Moto and the Milwaukee Pedal Tavern. Boone and Crockett's cocktails remain terrific. The Old Fashioneds and Sazerac are terrific. The bar makes a fine Tom Collins. And their Milwaukee G&T (a gin and tonic made with Milwaukee's own Rehorst Gin and Top Note Indian Tonic) is great. The only drawback to B&C is that service is a bit spotty. There is no table service, and the bar staff can get pretty busy here. Come with patience and enjoy a leisurely drinking experience.

Boone & Crockett why did it take so long to come and visit here! This place rocks. The interior is awesome and I swear the best Old Fashioned in town is made here. Five right off the bat because I've just not been to any place quite like it here in good ol' MKE! Oh lest not forget Happy Hour till 7! Yes please! Between the awesome interior and an unbelievably decked out back area I'm just ecstatic to have discovered this gem. Till my next visit I will have to wait and try your house truck Gypsy Taco! What a spot indeed!

love the location, vibe, drinks and service! great spot for a date, group hangouts or even a place to go with family.

Love this place being on the river. Adds a whole new energy to the place! The drinks were quite delicious and I love that they have food trucks there to pick food from. Very fun to come here on a summers day.
