About US

Wah Gwan, as we say in Jamaica!

My name is Hyacinth Nembhardt and I am the owner and Managing Director at Tropic, located in downtown Milwaukee. I'm originally from the Bronx and of Canadian and Jamaican decent, the roots of my heritage inspired me to bring a taste of Jamaica to Milwaukee. My vision for Tropic was to infuse South Beach and Jamaica and serve authentic Jamaican bar bites, delicious Jamaican inspired cocktails, with reggae, afro beats, and R&B vibes playing in the background. 

We have an amazing team who provides excellent customer service to our patrons. Known as the "Tropic Gals" you will find them on promotional ads throughout the establishment. Once you become a regular they'll definitely not only remember your name, but your drink! I'm proud to have my daughter, Hyleah, serving as the General Manager, so when you support Tropic you are supporting a not only a woman and minority-owned business, but a family-owned business as well. 

Please be sure to check out our sister bar, Concoctions, at 1316 E. Brady Street. Learn more at www.concoctionsmke.net

We appreciate the support and look forward to serving you!
