✨ 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 💜

✨️UNINDEXED VOL. 3: MYTHOLOGY✨️

For our third chapter of the Unindexed Series, we're exploring ancient stories that have shaped humanity for thousands of years.

Through the myths of Greek gods and heroes, we explore transformation in all its forms. The moments that change us through love, adversity, abundance, power, and knowledge.

Each cocktail in this series draws inspiration from these timeless stories and features its own moment of transformation. From layered cocktails and color-changing concoctions, to bitter infusions and ingredient manipulation. We challenged our team to push themselves further than we've ever gone.

And they absolutely delivered.

✨️APOLLO✨️

The first course begins with the story of Apollo and Daphne.

After Apollo mocks Eros, the god of love strikes him with an arrow, causing Apollo to become consumed by desire for the nymph Daphne. As Apollo pursues her, Daphne calls out for help and just as he reaches for her, she is suddenly transformed into a laurel tree. In that moment, Apollo's need for possession transforms into protection and honor.

Created by kat doughty, Apollo is a sparkling cocktail of olive-washed vodka, apricot, mahlab and coriander, over a peach nectar and cherry wood ice sphere, topped with laurel oil.

Inspired by the sun god's pursuit, guests are invited to swirl the bay leaf oil through the cocktail, releasing the aromatics and beginning its evolution. As the drink changes, the bright, sparkling infatuation of Apollo softens into something deeper and more elegant, a reflection of the power of love.

✨️A Note from Agency✨️

We will be closed today, July 22.

As er prepare to unveil our newest menu, we've made thr decision to take one more day to refine, adjust, and ensure every detail is worthy of a gift to the gods.

At Agency, we believe the smallest details are what transform a drink into an experience and we would rather take the time to perfect the journey than rush something that isn't ready to be shared.

We apologize for any inconvenience thus may cause and appreciate your understanding. Thank yku for your patience as we continue to create something we're truly proud of.

We look forward to welcoming you tomorrow

✨️LUCID + HALO HALO✨️

Presenting the fifth and final course of the Unindexed Series Vol 2: Dreams. Inspired by ._.kusama Infinity Mirror Rooms, and explored the idea of immersion, repetition, and interaction.

At its core, Lucid is a rum-based layered tropical cocktail designed to be a little different with every sip. Its base is made with a blend of carrot, passionfruit, and habanero for just a hint of spice. Layered ontop is clarified stawberry, beet, and dragon fruit for a complex sip. Finally, topped with pineapple, guava, coconut, and lavender, and adorned with passionfruit bursting boba.

Paired alongside, .mke contemporary interpretation of Halo-Halo, the iconic Filipino dessert whose name translates to "mix-mix." Geometric cubes of ube halaya, leche flan, caramelized saba banana, sweetened jackfruit, mango sorbet, coconut gelée, and toasted pinipig are presented atop mirrored reflextions before guests are invited to combine them into their own perfect bite.

A celebration of perspective, participation, and beautiful chaos.

This is your final opportunity to experience the Unindexed Series Vol. 2: Dreams before it makes it's way to the archives.

And while this chapter comes to a close, we're already preparing the next one. We can't eait to share what's coming next.
