Oggie’s Kitchen & Bar is a Downtown Milwaukee restaurant that serves elevated yet comforting European food with historic Midwestern charm.
Located at the charming and historic Hotel Metro, Oggie’s Kitchen & Bar in Milwaukee offers a modern, inviting atmosphere that blends upscale elegance with a relaxed environment. The space features warm lighting, stylish furnishings, and a cosmopolitan vibe, making it ideal for both casual gatherings and special occasions. The ambiance is lively yet intimate and emphasizes community and inclusivity, making everyone feel at home.
Oggie’s features a menu of scratch-made dishes using local and seasonal ingredients. The menu ranges from creative starters like bib buffalo chicken bites to hearty mains such as roasted chicken, all presented with a playful yet elevated approach.
The inventive starters reflect the restaurant’s modern take on Midwestern flavors, combining familiar ingredients with a fresh, global twist. The bib buffalo bites feature grilled chicken with quinoa, lettuce, buffalo sauce, blue cheese crumbles, and blue cheese dressing. Some Wisconsin classics on the appetizer menu include cheese curds and Pigs in a Blanket.
For your main course at Oggie’s, there is a selection of hearty salads, fish tacos, juicy burgers, and a buffalo chicken BLT sandwich. Additional entrees include roasted chicken, romesco pasta, and a popular fish fry, available only on Friday evenings. While you really can’t go wrong with anything on this menu, the herb-seared salmon is a tasty masterpiece featuring fingerling potato, tomato, olives, Brussels sprouts, and a mustard vinaigrette.
Be sure to save room for dessert and enjoy the chef’s choice of cheesecake, creme brulee, bread pudding, or a seasonal fruit tart. Oggie’s also offers a lovely selection of wine, beer, and cocktails to start and finish your meal. Local brews include the New Glarus Spotted Cow Farmhouse Ale, and the wine selection offers a beautiful variety of both California and international wines. For cocktails, we absolutely love the creativity of not just the ingredients but also the names – Chicken & Waffle Old Fashioned, Peachy Keen, and Mr. Espresso, to name a few.
If you’re hosting a private business dinner, family meal, or a special occasion with friends, Oggie’s private dining room, seating up to 12 people, is a beautiful space for any gathering. Whether it’s a birthday, bachelor, or bachelorette party, or simply a fun Friday night out, Oggie’s will make your evening memorable with delicious food and drinks and outstanding service.
