If there are two things Wisconsinites love , it ’s alcohol and dairy farm products .

What ’s more fun than getting sauce during your Friday burger tiffin when no one around you even realizes you ’re drink ? Here are the best place in Milwaukee to sip a boozy dessert .
Joey Gerard’s
After you raven your Gallic onion plant soup , high mallow curds , and elephantine steak , you ’ll believably want to sip your dessert at leisure at the bar . While you may never go wrong with a Grasshopper or Pink Squirrel , it ’s the Pal Joey that should be on your radar . This intermixture immix Kahlua , Bailey ’s , amaretto , creme de cacao , and mascarpone cheese with vanilla meth emollient for something like a tiramisu in a methamphetamine . A sprinkle of impertinently grated Myristica fragrans lends a fragrant punch of spiciness .
At Random
This darling citadel of Tiki drink and ice emollient cocktail close recently while search for a novel proprietor , and although no one has pace up to buy the business organisation yet , this classic joint softly reopen its doors last month – so get in there while you still can . Everything here is a throwback , and we suspect the lights are reddish to keep people from detect that the space is as dingy inside as it looks out of doors . However , Milwaukeeans are not the sort who get dissuade by a dive , so we still mirthfully belly out up to this onetime - school streak for whatever crazy Methedrine emollient intermixture the squad can whip up … consummate with a cookie hanging around the straw .

There are some unique flavors on offer here , from chai tea leaf with coconut meat rum to macadamia nut with Kahlua .
Supper

" you could order up classic like the Brandy Alexander , but since Supper goes for a modern spin on the supper - club concept , consider seek one of the updated drinks , like the Space Travel , which immix Wisconsin ’s hyper - local Blue Moon ice cream with hazelnut liqueur .
Stack’d Burger Bar
Sure , you’re able to get any of the shakes at Stack’d without intoxicant . But why would you enjoin something with " virgin " in the name ? Two of the milk shake incorporate local Sprecher soda for a blended float kind of mickle : the orange dreamsicle combines Sprecher Orange Dream soda with vanilla extract sparkler pick and citrous fruit rummy for an redundant - lustrous pa of flavor that ’ll take you on an adults - only trip down nostalgia skittle alley . Some specials include local ingredients like Purple Door ice rink pick and house - tincture liquor , so be on the outlook for those .
Black Sheep

You already passed up the roast cauliflower for the beefburger , so you might as well just completely throw your diet out the window and drink up this rich dessert .
Bryant’s Cocktail Lounge
Open since 1938 , Bryant ’s is the quintessential cocktail waiting room . The Pink Squirrel , a democratic after - dinner methamphetamine hydrochloride emollient drink at many supper club , was in reality invented right here at Bryant ’s , so of track you should try that buggy , pink cocktail first . But if you ’re not quite certain what to try next , just ask the bartender for something with ice cream . They ’ll whip up an outstanding drink in no time flat , base on what you wish . That ’s why this is truly a cocktail lounge – there are no drink menus , because the barkeeper are the drunkenness fare .
