14 Best Brewpubs in Milwaukee

“Huge Thanks to Indeed Brewing Company! My son recently rented a private room at Indeed Brewing for his wife’s 30th birthday, and it was the perfect space for our celebration! The room comfortably accommodated our group of 40-65 guests, and we truly appreciated the flexibility to bring our own snacks. Having access to the microphone and sound system was a great bonus. A special shout-out to Courtney and Josh, our bar service hospitality team—they were super friendly, approachable, and attentive, checking in throughout the event to ensure everything was just right. Thank you for the fantastic experience! Keep up the great work—we will definitely be back!“

“Been going to Broken Bat since they moved to their new location on 1st and Pittsburgh. I absolutely recommend this place and its entirety and wish I lived closer. Whether it’s wiffle ball, darts, or kicking back and enjoying a Beach Ball (my personal favorite Pineapple Milkshake IPA) no brewery comes close to offering the atmosphere of Broken Bat. But what really makes Broken Bat so special especially to the city of Milwaukee is they care about the people and the surrounding community. They aren’t here to just make another craft beer and take your dollar. If you’ve ever met the owner Tim you’ll understand what I’m saying. So… Whether you’re in the area or at a local store, grab a beer made by Broken Bat Brewing Company. You’re doing yourself a favor and supporting an establishment that deserves it. PS- if you’re a Marquette fan (or not) -> Find the beer “Ring Out Ahoya” and crack it open during Marquettes deep run this year“

“Put this at the top of your must-visit Milwaukee list. Enjoyed both amazing beer and hospitality during my visit last evening. We love you Central Waters Brewing 💕“

“Great beer and food, and Brandon was an entertaining and informative tour guide!“

“Fantastic time here. Highly recommend the Acabrada brew and the Oktoberfest. But seriously, do a flight and try a few. Chris (Owner and Brewer) and Hannah(bartender) were amazing. Just an awesome afternoon. Stop here!!!!!!!“

“Jess is an Amazing bartender, made us feel very welcomed. She's an Awesome bartender!!“

“Love this place. They have 18 of their beers on tap and 6 guests along with tap cocktails. None of their beers are american layers, they go all in on sours and malty beers. You either go light with the fruity or buried (with a smile on your face) under a barrel aged imp stout. Deep flavor. The pizza is more of a doughy flatbread than a true pizza IMO, still tasty. The crust could use a little more chew, but still good. Fun vibe with the music playing and the patio open. My only criticsm was only one server and while she was hustling and answering questions, one person can help one customer at a time.“

“Great atmosphere and amazing friendly staff. Owner Ben makes sure you have a great experience!“

“Torzala is fantastic! A lovely family run brewery with some top notch beers. Seriously, we have not had a bad beer here. The bartenders are great and the atmosphere is fun.“

“Jeanice, Matt and Sean are always the best! Love seeing their smiling face every game day! The awesome service keeps us coming back al year round. The off days have fantastic field views and the food is always fresh and awesome. The beer is always excellent as well!“

“I've eaten here a few times this year trying out options for my eventual wedding reception here. The entire process was fantastic! Excellent communication, clear menu options, no surprises on the billing, and incredible service the night of. My guests raved about the brussel sprouts and chicken pasta! I love the steak & goat cheese flatbread.“

“Amazing vegan brewery!! We love it here! Super friendly staff & delicious, creative comfort food!“

“One of my best experiences ever. The staff went above and beyond my expectations. Wonderful and attentive staff that took care of my guests at all times and willing to help and serve. The buffet was amazing and delicious! I would definitely hold another event and recommend Explorium to anyone. Thank you staff for making this experience memorable.“

“Different restaurant experience compared to Water Street Brewery but food was great! Self seating and self ordering worked great. Super fast service and friendly staff! 👍“
