Giggly at Saint Kate

A friend and I met at Giggly for some after work drinks and to catch up. The bar was relatively easy to find and we were there shortly after they opened so it wasn't very busy. There is a bar area (Giggly) and a dining area (Aria), and we ended up being seated in the dining area, which for just drinks I think was a little confusing, but I didn't see a bartender at the bar. Our waitress was at our table shortly after we sat down and got us some bread and butter and our drinks. We enjoyed our drinks and got a cheese and charcuterie platter, which was good, but a little pricey. I would like our server to have explained what each meat and cheese was when dropping it off at the table, but still enjoyed the platter. The bread and butter was all delicious, the honey butter was my favorite. The bar and restaurant has great views of the nearby streets and parks and is a great place for a date night or drinks with friends. I would like to try sitting in the bar area next time and try some other drinks and food!

I work near here and can't believe I haven't gone to Giggly before. I love the decor, it's modern and very purple due to purple lights. There are great views of Red Arrow Park which still has Christmas lights up so that was fun. The bartender was really good. She gave us complimentary champagne because it was my birthday. The Cosmos are divine and not terrible at $15. My husband and Angel's Envy and it was $18. I really hope to get back there, but I bet it's insanely busy most nights.

Love the atmosphere here. It wasn't very crowded at 11:30 on a Saturday. I think serving brunch here is new. There was a DJ which was cool but a little random. It was more of relaxed upbeat music with no words which was fine. I think it added to the environment but I was just surprised to see it. Food was great. I did a build your own omelette that came with tri colored potatoes and your choice of bread. They also have a buffet for $25 but I felt it was overpriced for eggs, meat, fruit, waffles, and bread. Looked good though. Presentation was great. I rated a 4 because the service is slow. Which that's been consistent feedback every time my friend and I have came. It took a while to get jam, ketchup, etc once the meal came and to get our checks. Other than that, I'd you have the time to relax and enjoy the environment and you're or in a rush you'll love it.

I went here for drinks on one day then for brunch. Food was good and the drinks are even better!! Highly recommend the brunch.

I was recently staying at the Saint Kate and a friend suggested we meet for dinner at Aria. When we arrived the place was fairly empty and the hostess asked if we'd sit up in Giggle instead. Sounded good to us! The chairs were oversized, super comfy, and the table had a great view. Giggly has the same menu as Aria. Our waitress was very friendly and there when we needed her. We decided to split a bunch of the appetizers-- the mussels, the baked goat cheese, deviled eggs, and the brussels. The brussels might have been my favorite, they were cooked perfectly with a tasty sauce all over them. Honestly everything was good, I'd order each dish again. The mussels were a huge portion and we couldn't even finish the bowl, the little garlic butter toasts with the mussels were a great touch. The waitress let us know when their evening happy hour kicked in (definitely a new concept to me) so we ordered another drink and their dessert sampler. I really liked the dark chocolate cremeux and tart, we both did not like the rootbeer dessert. The waitress described it as sweet and salty, which it was, but to me it was just not what I'd normally go for. The dinner was pricey, but you pay for the location. If I were staying in the Saint Kate I would 100% find myself back at Giggly, either the bar or the dining area!

What a great space! We were seated immediately and given water immediately. When our waitress finally came to take our drink order we gave her our entree order as well because we didn't know when we would see her again. Our drinks came in 15 minutes and my husbands drink was missing a key ingredient ( coffee liqueur) but he liked it any way. My eggs Benedict was fantastic! I couldn't eat all of it. My husband really enjoyed his avocado toast and the rest of my meal. Waitress did not come back to see how everything was until we were done eating. When she brought the check my husband laid down card but it sat there for quite some time. The hostess noticed and came to take our bill. This was the first time ever we didn't tip our usual 20%. Good thing we weren't in a hurry. We will be back for the food and ambiance just hope we get a different server

Very cute cocktail bar to grab drinks before dinner inside the Saint Kate Hotel up on the second floor. The service was good, we sat at the bar and or stood around the bar.

My friend rented out a section here for a surprise birthday and it was amazing! Service, setting, food and ambiance was amazing! Definitely would return!

Giggly is the 2nd Floor Bar at the Saint Kate's Art Hotel. There is a bar on the first floor as well, but that is referred to as "the Bar". Giggly is a little more intimate, which we liked for our girls night out! We enjoyed people watching out the large windows and watching people ice skate at Red Arrow. Even leaving, we strolled past the art that is displayed at the hotel and got to admire that! I tried the Cassatt which I had heard was the best espresso martini in Milwaukee, it certainly lived up to the hype and was the best one I've had! The espresso flavor was spot on and the drink was smooth! The bartenders were friendly which was a plus.

I sat at the bar and had a couple of drinks waiting before having dinner elsewhere. The cocktails were Devine with an amazing ambiance and attentive servers despite the busy Saturday! I highly recommend this spot.
