Bryant's Cocktail Lounge

For the fifth year running, OnMilwaukee readers voted Bryant's Cocktail Lounge as the best of the best when it comes to whipping up the city's finest craft cocktails.

And it's no wonder. In addition to its classic old school lounge feel, Bryant's offers up an ever-evolving selection of carefully crafted drinks – including classic and new school offerings – many of which are derived from a collection of nearly 500 house recipes.

Among the classics for which it's become known are the Rat Pack, the rum-based Brain Buster and the ever-popular house original: the Kismet, which dates back at least 70 years.

Rehorst's pick: Bryant's Cocktail Lounge

"The place has a great vibe, it's nostalgic for me. It reminds me of my dad's bar when I was growing up in the '80s, except with better cocktails!"
