✨ LECHON KAWALI ✨

Lechon kawali is the centerpiece of the Filipino fiesta: pork belly boiled, dried, and fried, and oh so scrumptious.

Paired with the cocktail, Dionysus, it reminds us that abundance needs restraint with abundance. The pork belly is lacquered in a cardamom–palm sugar glaze over sweet potato, balanced by a tamarind-grape reduction that echoes the cocktail, bright pickled papaya, and chicharron. Indulgent, but never too much, or do- it's your Agency.

Created by Sinta | Milwaukee Filipino Pop-Up & Tasting Dinners, order it alongside Dionysus and or on it's own and let the celebration carry through.

✨️TA TA FOR NOW✨️

Tonight is a bittersweet night for us here at Agency as we say goodbye to the one and only Sean O'Connor. We've been honored to have him part of the crew for the last year, but even more lucky to have worked alongside him and called him a friend for years before.

Having this gem part of this lil' team for the past year has been filled with countless laughs, some wild historical facts, endless dank drinks, and all of us knowing we are better now than we were before him.

We're so damn proud of him and are honored to be part of his journey. Help us celebrate this man for his last shift and watch kat doughty and Alex Sagataw cry behind the bar all night as we say see you soon to our sweet baby boy.

We love you dude, you'll always have a home here.

✨️FRENCH SPRITZ✨️

Summer may be officially over but we're not quite ready to say goodbye.

Created by our lead bartender Alex Sagataw the French Spritz is a mix of a french martini and an Aperol spritz, in all the best ways. Bright, playful, and refereshing, it's been one of the favorites all summer long.

Aperol (or UNDONE alcohol free Not Aperol), Giffard USA Non-Alcoholic Pineapple Liqueur, CO2, and sparkling w**e are poured over house-made raspberry & pineapple sorbet, resulting in a nostalgic yet sophisticated little cocktail.

It's going to be hard to say goodbye in a few weeks, but something tells us this is only the beginning of these frozen creations.

✨️DIONYSUS ✨️

The third course of our current tasting menu, Mythology, explores abundance through the story of Dionysus, god of w**e, celebration, and ritual madness.

After showing kindness to a companion of Dionysus, King Midas was granted a single wish. Selfishly, he wished that everything he touched would turn to gold. At first, it provided endless abundance and ecstasy, but soon after, he realized that he could no longer eat, drink, or hold the people he loved.

Dionysus teaches us that abundance is a gift and without restraint, that gift can quickly turn into a curse.

Continuing with the theme of abundance, this cocktail was created collaboratively by kat doughty Alex Sagataw and Sean O'Connor. Inspired by sangria and hwachae, and celebrating grapes through transformation, cognac, w**e, frozen grapes, white grape & cardamon ice, and house concord grape & earl grey jellies come together with Pineapple Amaro and hibiscus, and topped with a blend of macadamia and coconut milk, indused with saffron and tamarind. It's truly an abundance. Every sip and bite offers it's own new mini celebration.

✨ KINILAW ✨

For Course Two of Unindexed Vol. III: Mythology, Chef Zach Panoske of draws inspiration from the seas that shaped Odysseus' journey.

Shaved hamachi, salmon roe, charred coconut, ginger oil, and cold-smoked storm granita rest above a hidden layer of kelp-bagoong dashi, fish sauce caramel, and frozen ginger.

As the granita melts, the dish slowly transforms and the flavors start to do their own little twists.

Developed to pair with Poseidon, this course is all about about what lies beneath the surface.

✨️Two years✨️

Two years of opening the doors at the Dubbel Dutch and inviting people into our silly little idea.

What started as an ambitious concept has become something we could never have fully imagined. Over the last two years we've shared countless conversations, created thousands of Dealer's Choice cocktails, welcomed guests from around the world, collaborated with some of the most talented people in hospitality, and somehow found ourselves named a James Beard Award finalist along the way.

There have been late nights, big risks, unexpected opportunities, and more laughs than we can count. Through it all, we've had the privilege of being a small part of so many meaningful moments—first dates, anniversaries, birthdays, promotions, reunions, celebrations, and even a few proposals. It's a responsibility we never take for granted.

The truth is, we can't believe it's only been two years.

We're incredibly proud of what we've built with our team, our partners, and all of you who continue to choose Agency for your evenings, your celebrations, and your stories. Every Dealer's Choice card, every tasting menu, every recommendation to a friend, and every time you've trusted us with an important moment has helped shape who we are.

We have some exciting things planned for 2027, and while we'll share more when the time is right, today isn't about what's next.

Today is about appreciating where we are.

Thank you to everyone who has walked through our doors, supported our team, and believed in this strange, purple-lit cocktail lounge tucked inside a historic hotel.

Two years down.

We're just getting started.

✨️POSEIDON✨️

The second course of our current tasting menu, takes a page or two from the Odyssey.

After escaping the Cyclopse Polyphemus, Odysseus should have been on his way home thanks to his witts. Instead, in a moment of pride, he revealed his identity and claimed credit for the deception that allowed he and his crew to escape. In response, Polyphemus called out to his father, Poseidon, god of the sea.

What followed was a decade of adversity. Years of storms, loss, uncertainty, and countless obstacles stood between Odysseus and home. Yet, those hardships transformed him. By the end of his journey, he had become patient, thoughtful, and more aware of his own limitations.

Created by our gem of a lead bartender Alex Sagataw, Poseidon explores the transformation that results from adversity. Served in a porthole, designed to be shared by two, the cocktail combines a funky rum blend, ginger, lemongrass, kelp, and acid-adjusted Thai basil. The cocktail is then infused with cinnamon, star anise, fresno & szechuan pepper, butterfly pea, and fresh ginger.

The result is a cocktail that starts salty, bright, and fermented, then evolves into a mouth-tingling, bitter, funky and complex creation.

✨️SINTA✨️

If you've spent time at Agency, chances are you've experienced the magic of Chef Zach Zach Panoske

Whether it's a thoughtful paired course during a tasting menu, a late night bar snack, or a full-blown Sinta | Filipino Tasting Menu monthly dinner, every dish that leaves his kitchen carries the same level of care, creativity, and attention to detail.

Together, Zach and his wife Katrina Panoske built Sinta from a beautiful idea, into Milwaukee’s most exciting Modern Filipino culinary concepts. It's their deep passion for storytelling, community, hospitality, and deep respect for tradition and innovation that make Sinta truly special. Their dedication to their craft is evident in everything they do.

We're incredibly fortunate that they chose Agency to show off that dedication. What started as a partnership has evolved into a friendship, and our program is better because of it.

We're so proud to work alongside Chef Zach and Chef Katrina and are grateful for their love, care, creativity, and corn dogs 💜
