Foundation

Thanks for providing a great tiki experience in Milwaukee. Many top tiki bar lists now include Foundation. And they should. It is top notch. Very detailed authentic decor throughout. They also make some excellent drinks. Fantastic tiki bar. Great escape from the ordinary.

​"Absolute tiki perfection! The drinks are punchy, fresh, and beautifully presented. The attention to detail in the decor is unmatched. It's a total sensory escape. If you're looking for world-class cocktails in an immersive tropical setting, this is it. Fantastic versions of the classic Jet Pilot and Mai Tai and more contemporary Kill-Devil were standouts.

This is the ultimate hole in the wall Tiki themed bar. You order directly at the bar counter once you decide on one of their many unique drinks— all of which are very good. The place is relatively small, it’s dimly lit with some unique colored lighting, and has lots of strange tiki decor. On weeknights it’s quiet and great to be able to just sit and chat, but on the weekends it’s absolutely packed wall-to-wall and very loud so keep that in mind! Note: Sometimes they host bands for that live music appeal which is cool!

Awesome hidden gem in MKE! Great place for some tropical drinks and island vibes. Great service and atmosphere as well. Good place for couples or a small group of friends.

We have now been here on three separate trips and each is better than the last! Service was amazing, drinks fantastic and the atmosphere can’t be topped! As you can tell we are major fans. Next time we will stay in the tiki themed Airbnb!

I have been wanting to come here forever. Finally made it. I love house bars.. This one has been around since 1995, I am told. A great selection of rums this place to set up for good conversation and drinks of paradise. A nice little Milwaukee getaway.

Absolutely loved it here and can’t wait to return! Excellent atmosphere and huge drink menu, reasonably priced too.
