Balzac

Full of bittersweet memories, we announce today that Balzac will be closing after 18 years. We know that so many of you have had first dates, 30th dates, girls night out, and many celebrations here over the years. We thank you for your years of support and comradery. We will be open until Wednesday November 22 to allow our fans to come in, raise a glass and celebrate almost two decades of being a part of the Milwaukee wine scene.
Thank you again Milwaukee - to so many wonderful moments! Cheers ❤️

Stopping by for a beverage at the bar? Might as well get some shareables for snacking. Bread may seem like a humble choice but with paired with some brown butter, it’s a must-add to any other dining choices.

Flatbreads are back on the menu! Choose between the Delaware Fireball Flatbread, or the *vegan* BBQ “Chicken” Flatbread (pictured here):

BBQ sauce / vegan mozzarella / Cedar Teeth “Thunderbird” / pickled red onion

Our Pear Caprese blends peak fall comfort with a *whisper* of summer nostalgia:

pear / mozzarella / basil / balsamic reduction

It's a great day to try our new cocktail, the 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤:
Stray Dog Gin / lemon-dill infused vermouth / olive brine / herbed feta stuffed olives

Halloween Sweets but you're an adult and can have a vegan chocolate tart with (or *for*) dinner. Pair it with Vergano's "Tavijn Americao", coffee, or the beverage of your choosing for a spooky level of satisfying 👻

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! Come try this spooktacular special, available through the weekend:

/ crème de cacao vanille / house-made pumpkin spice syrup / bitters

$5 Fried Pickles are absolutely the Happy Hour move—snag 'em before 6, M-F!

Join us on Halloween weekend for a private tasting of 5 wines with our Certified Sommelier. The wines will be thoughtfully paired with Halloween candy to showcase some fundamentals of wine pairing. (If you are worried about spoiling dinner, do not worry. There will be just enough candy to understand the pairings 😉)

Due to the personal and exclusive nature of these tastings, availability is limited. We are offering tastings on the 27th, 28th, 30th, and 31st. Visit the booking link on our website and select any of the available dates to make your reservation.

✨ Today is (and we cannot emphasize this enough) a very good day to get a slice of pumpkin cheesecake.

Firm believers that an n/a beverage should be just as satisfying as any evening cocktail, wine, or spirit. Here's two of our current favorites:

𝚃𝙰𝙿𝙿𝙴𝚁, 𝙸 𝙱𝙰𝚁𝙴𝙻𝚈 𝙺𝙽𝙾𝚆 𝙷𝙴𝚁
maple ginger shrub / maple brown sugar / bitters

(𝙽𝙾𝚃) 𝙿𝙾𝙸𝚂𝙾𝙽𝙴𝙳 𝙰𝙿𝙿𝙻𝙴
honeycrisp shrub / clove / cinnamon / lemon / cranberry
