20 Feb
Summary
- Agency bar, a James Beard finalist, partners with Sinta pop-up.
- Sinta offers a five-course tasting menu and bar snacks.
- The collaboration blends Filipino flavors with cocktail experiences.

Milwaukee's celebrated cocktail lounge, Agency, has joined forces with the highly regarded modern Filipino pop-up, Sinta. Agency, a James Beard Award finalist known for its hybrid alcohol-optional drink concept, will now feature Sinta's culinary creations as its food program.
Sinta, a passion project by chefs Zach and Katrina Panoske, translates to "love" in Tagalog. The pop-up, which began with intimate dinners in 2023, has gained popularity through sold-out public events. This new venture at Agency offers a five-course 'Grand Tasting' menu, meticulously designed to elevate the bar's cocktails, alongside a la carte options and unique bar snacks.
The collaboration, which went live on February 18, emphasizes storytelling through both food and drinks. Sinta's offerings include dishes like foie gras mousse cornettes and reimagined longanisa corn dogs. Agency continues to serve its experimental cocktails and offers a 'Dealer's Choice' option for personalized drink selections.
