Best Place at the Historic Pabst Brewery

Literally the BEST TOUR. We were there the day they were hosting a wedding, so instead of the great video presentation and talk we got to sit down with Jim, the owner, who talked us through how he acquired the Pabst offices and some great history. We continued with our guide, who was a wealth of knowledge, on our walking tour. This is hands down my all time favorite beer history tour. Its amazing what they have turned the various brewery buildings into. A hotel with the brew kettles as part of the decoration, and we ended at an old church that is now a Central Waters brewpub. I highly recommend stopping here if you have any interest in history. You don't just need to be interested in beer. The friendly people who own it and great staff really made this an enjoyable visit!

A neat piece of American brewing history to enjoy. The tour was informative, but could have been better if there was more to see. There's no brewing equipment left here, so all you get to see are a couple halls and bar areas. The majority of the tour is spent watching a presentation. We enjoyed it, but the tour experience could have been better. A pretty cool merchandise shop with almost every Milwaukee beer related product you could think of is on premises, which was fun to look through.

Great place to hang out for a beer and check out Pabst memorabilia.

Great tour with history of Pabst and Milwaukee.

It wasn't the tour I was expecting but I did enjoy learning about the history of Best and Pabst beers. I appreciated that I got a free beer to enjoy on the tour!

This was not a tour of a brewery. This was a tour of 3 spaces that used to be a part of a brewery that have been redone into an event space. In spots the building is a total disaster. The history is somewhat interesting but I literally could have just read it on wikipedia. Go enjoy the bar, it’s nice, but don’t waste your money on the tour.

What a great tour and such a long rich history. I’ve always loved PBR since my college days and now even more.

Looking for the real story of Milwaukees brewing history that hasn't been whitewashed by the corporate comms team, this is the one! One of the best brewery tours that isn't a brewery! Highly recommend for everyone.

We rented the Great Hall for our wedding and could not be happier with our experience! The space is so well maintained and gorgeous. Sarah was extremely responsive to all questions and concerns in the weeks leading up to the wedding and made the entire process as stress-free as possible. They did an amazing job creating a floor plan for our 250-person wedding and streamlining cocktail service. The bar staff was also quick; I never saw a line at the bar. All in all, this was a beautiful and unforgettable space and I can't imagine having our wedding anywhere else. Thank you Best Place, Sarah, and team!

Went on a whim. So glad we did. Not a brewery tour, there is no longer a brewery here, but a Pabst history tour. Very fun. Very informative. Four stops in the tour and… four bars at each stop! Free beer or soda with purchase. After that, you will have to pay, but $4 for a pint of PBR. Well worth it. The ticket was $14 each. Cheap fun!

Beautiful weather. Great vibes . Great music courtesy of myself (mental pat on the back) also its something about that entire area that makes me feel like doing a solid keg stand followed by a beer bong followed by playing 8 consecutive games of either beer pong or flip cup!

Amazing. I learned a lot of good history.

Interesting old brewery motif, good beer selection, delicious 1/2 pound burger, nice employees.

Great tour, albeit brief. Wonderful taproom with generous items available in the gift shop

Really neat tour! Kids allowed but there are stairs where strollers can’t be used. Highly recommend!
