I stopped into the Voyager for a couple of drinks on a balmy Monday night in March. With a modern, European vibe, Voyager was my kind of place. After a couple of vodka cocktails, I wanted to purchase a bottle of wine as I will do what I can to support local businesses. The patrons appeared to know each other, and they weren’t particularly kind to strangers. Of course, my age doesn’t encourage warmth from younger members of the human race. In this country, older people are scorned rather than revered. Maxwell was our bartender, and he was polite, attentive, but not very warm. Although, his warmth was awarded to others at the Voyager bar. I ended up buying a nice Chardonnay to take home. I tipped 20% on everything including the wine, but that didn’t appease Maxwell. I was a stranger in a strange land. However, I liked the Voyager, and I will return with expectations for a good drink and nothing more. The Voyager likes its locals to be between 25 and 38. Although I don’t fit the demographic, this is a cool place for Bay View and particularly K.K.
Voyager is my favorite place in Milwaukee, hands down. They offer an excellent rotating selection of wines by the glass and an extensive wall of retail bottles. But what really makes it the best are all the people who work there- they know their stuff and are super friendly. Come in with an open mind and try some fun new wines and don’t be scared to ask for a recommendation, they’ve got you!
Top tier service at this wine forward gem. Came here after our wedding with a few friends and family for the first time. Can't wait to be back! No food here.
Love this place but why the squiggly sign now?
Happy hour wine selections were delicious! Our bartender Max was personable and wrote down some recommendations of great places for dinner nearby. 10/10 will be returning and bringing our friends! Good music, atmosphere, and we love a bar that has a lot of plants!
My hubby and I love this lil romantic place! Great wine and sweet vibes.
