The Pfister Hotel and Tower Crown Room – evolved


The Pfister Hotel and Tower has been a mainstay in downtown Milwaukee since 1893. Gorgeous. Luxury AAA Four Diamond award winner. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Crown Room is no longer, drinking and dining options appear to be the Mason Street Grill, The Rouge, The Lobby Lounge, The Café, and Blu. Their website gives no hints. Given that it was the Crown Room, and Blu is the “23rd-floor gem in the sky,” my bet is on that one. Sassy martinis and classic cocktails, if that’s your thing.

French 125
  • 1 ½ oz. brandy
  • ½ oz. lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. powdered sugar
  • 4 oz. champagne chilled
  • 1 lemon peel strip
Place brandy, lemon juice, and sugar in Collins glass. Stir until dissolved. Add 4 oz. cracked ice. Slowly pour champagne to fill. Twist peel and drop in glass.
