Fluid Milwaukee — Restaurant in Milwaukee

I came in tonight, sat at the bar while I watched the bartender talk and help other customers while I was ignored. He actually looked me in the eyes while I had cash in my hand and then turned away and helped other customers. When he finally got to me, I asked for a Long Island. He proceeded to help the people next to me, poured and served their drinks. I’m still waiting patiently. I finally said to him, if I’m going to be ignored, I’ll go somewhere else. His response was, “I don’t know how to make a Long Island.” My response was, “you should have said something because I could have walked you through it.” I have been a bartender/server for over 20 years now and understand if you are busy and don’t know how to make a drink, I have been in that position many times. But at least say something so your customer isn’t sitting there waiting while everyone else is being taken care of. I love Fluid and want to come back, but am a bit apprehensive now. Perhaps the bartender needs more training, especially with customer service. When I don’t know how to make a drink, I ask the customer or look it up on my phone. I would never just not make a drink for someone just because I don’t know how. I actually learned how to make a Long Island after a customer walked me through it because I did not know how and they loved it. Please have trained bartenders behind the bar or at least teach them customer...

I was excited to try this place, but unfortunately, the service was terrible. My boyfriend, friend, and I went for the first time and the bartender asked for IDs (normal and acceptable) but when I gave him mine he asked me where I was from, my exact address, to spell my first and last name, and even then when I answered all his questions corrected, he said “close enough” and still hesitated to serve me. I am over 24. He was incredibly rude about the whole thing. I understand that checking IDs is mandatory and I am more than happy to provide mine when asked, but the way he went about it was just rude. He did not question my boyfriend or friend at all but decided to react a certain way with mine. Maybe they just don’t get a younger crowd but this was not a...

The atmosphere was giving me bougie moulin rougie. It felt so comfy and chic inside for a chaotic queer like me. The Halloween decor was absolutely on point. I could lounge here for hours.

The vibe was stellar, but it was the bartender, Chris, who made us feel so at home. We met him for the first time that night, but it felt like we had known him for our whole lives.

I immediately knew that I had to post a review, but I waited to get the bill to see if it was all worth the money. Let me tell y'all, I was ASTOUNDED to see how little we owed at the end of the night. The drinks were delish, and it didn't break the bank!

Will absolutely be coming back to feel at...
