Milwaukee Fan Guide

[Al_4_State]

Lakefront Brewery - Overhyped, but you gotta go.
Cafe Benelux - brunch
Public Market - Doesn't sniff a real public market, but cool for MKE.
Safehouse - Spy bar with no sign. Fun for kids.
Broken Bat Brewing - rent batting cages.
Bobblehead museum
Wizard Works Brewing
Mecca - Deer District
Major Goolsbys - OG before game Bucks bar from Bradley Center days.
Glass domes

Depends on what you're talking about here. The beer is nothing amazing, but the tour is as fun of a brewery tour as you'll find anywhere.

Do they have any tours/museums related to the historic and mega breweries in Milwaukee? Those are the ones that made Milwaukee famous for beer.

Miller Brewery tour was closed for Covid and hasn't restarted.

An FYI about Lakefront, you can rent Bernie the Brewer's old chalet for 90 minutes to eat in.

Everything is above average. I have River West Stein in my rotation.

The tour kind of depends on your expectations and experience on breweries. I understand why people think it's great and I said you had to go.

Place near Lakefront called Uncle Wolfies that's awesome.

Central Standard. Yep, I'm still an owner, but no longer active in the management and operation. Live in ATL now. Thanks for the shout out.

Since you mentioned Waukee Football in your reply, do you have ties to the Central Standard restaurant in Waukee?

Ironically no, other than the narrow margin on trademark infringement ha, I kid! I did come up with the name and trademarked in 2013 (actually had to buy it from a Wine Company) Decent restaurant though and very close to where I grew up. I stopped in a few years back and it was packed.

If any of you were at the Bradley Center in 2017, the Fiserv and the Deer District will blow that experience away. To me, the Deer District is like a more authentic and less contrived P&L Distrisct in KC (but outdoors). Good City/Mecca/Drink Wisconsinably are awesome spots. Spent a few nights there during the NBA Playoffs last summer.

Many good recs in this thread, but if anybody needs more/details, feel free to ask here or PM. I put together a detailed "Milwaukee Fan Guide" last time around, but it's a bit dated now. Still some good recs in there. Let's just hope we get back to that first half season momentum and make it to Sunday!

Bumping this as we're going back in a few weeks. Is there a Miller Brewing tour that's worthwhile, or should I just do Lakefront again?

I'd be completely fine doing Lakefront again, but my wife suggested Miller.
