The Tin Widow is a cocktail bar in Milwaukee, transforming each holiday season into our officially licensed Christmas cocktail pop-up, Miracle on 2nd Street. Our team fills the space with floor-to-ceiling holiday décor and thousands of lights, creating a winter fever dream in our Walkers Point hideaway. We serve over-the-top Miracle cocktails in collectible glassware, rich holiday sippers, and playful riffs. Weekends feature our Cocoa Bar with kid-friendly hot chocolates, non-alcoholic drinks, and spiked options for grown-ups.
Didn't get food there... Not sure if you even can. I got the {Name Redacted} cocktail. It was delicious. The ambiance is top tier, and the drinks are good. If you are looking for a gathering place that is a notch above, then this is the place for you.

The bartenders were friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is very laid back. There are couches and chairs on both ends of the bar if you want a more comfortable experience.

Stopped in for their Miracle on 2nd St holiday pop-up. We only had to wait about 5-10min for a table, but it does get busy fast, especially on weekends.
They had several seasonal cocktails in special festive cups, which you could also buy to take home.
I got the Cheery Cherry Chocosaurus, which was good, but pricey for what it was. Almost all the seasonal drinks were $15 each and didn’t seem too big.
The venue itself is medium sized, but feels crammed quickly. There’s more people let in at a time than there is seating, so you have to move fast to get a seat.
I’ll likely come back during the summer to try something else.

Read online that this was a place to go for over-the-top Christmas decorations in Milwaukee. They were in the process of getting them all up, so we were too early to see the spectacle. We'll have to come back later in the month to see sights, but in the meantime we stayed and ordered a couple of cocktails, which were very good. Loved the eclectic interior design, wondered about the history of the place, and also wondered who is/was the Barbra Streisand fan as we saw both a book and and album of hers on the wall. The place is dog-friendly -- a young lady at the bar was holding her very cute and well-behaved dog on her lap. I didn't have my glasses on and I thought at first it was a monkey. The front of the bar looks like a comfy old-fashioned living room, which was what made me want to come here in the first place. I thought that this was a house-turned-into-a-bar, but it's not. I'd like to come back with some whiskey-loving friends so they can sample the selection they're known for. See you in a few weeks!

I've been a few times at various levels. On this evening we grabbed a drink after a comedy show.
This is a classic MKE bar with great service, creative and well-crafted drinks, fun decor and even better patrons. It's worth a stop...even if you just want to look at well-groomed men working behind the bar... You'll have a great time. You will find a conversation. The atmosphere is inviting and I intentionally ordered a fussy drink to confirm they care about their output... they do. They consistently do. And I love that about this place.
Fall 2023: consistently great. Chris is dope.
