Great staff. Fun vibe
Stopped in with some friends to watch baseball and have some beers and couldn’t recommend it more highly! Excellent beers with options for smaller pours so you can try a lot, friendly staff, baseball decor all over the place… highly recommend!
There is no better brewery in the city. Their beer and service are top notch.
Have been to Broken Bat a few times and have always enjoyed their beer. The staff has always been friendly and attentive and always makes sure I am ok. Last time I was in, there were two girls working and one was very sweet, and the the other seemed to not want to be there and made sitting at the bar a little uncomfortable. Her friends were sitting near me at the bar and she seemed more interested in gossiping and making ticktocks for drinks than helping but thankfully, the other girl was very sweet and even let me have a sample of beer on tap. The other times I have been in have been awesome, and even though they are a Brewers' place, they always treat us Cubs fan quite well. Fun place to watch Packers' games and looking forward to my next trip down there
I've visited Broken Bat Brewing many times and realized it’s about time I left a review for this fantastic spot.
I stopped by again this weekend with friends in town, and as always, it was a top-notch experience! The drinks are great, the collection of bobbleheads is super fun to check out, and there’s plenty of space to kick back and catch up with friends.
Last but not least, it's also an awesome place to watch a Brewers game.
My husband and I had our rehearsal dinner at Broken Bat Brewery in the Lumber Room, and it was fantastic!! The space is beautiful (we kept saying we could’ve had our wedding there!) and the service was great. We catered in our own room and had a bar package with our own bartender. She was so friendly and helpful to all our guests! We had so many compliments on how great the space was. We worked with Celina for the planning process and she was super helpful and always responded very quickly. Would definitely recommend their space, and of course their beer!!
I was in Milwaukee last Oct. for the NL 'Wild Card' Series. Before the 1st game I stumbled upon Broken Bat Brewery or more accurately, what I thought to be a Wiffle Ball inside a warehouse, Wow!!!!! It was mid-morning & BBB was not as yet Open, but Tim let me in and gave me the FULL tour: Brewing Operations ( Pat & Nick ), Retail, Wiffle Ball field, Art Gallery ....….. And of course the Beer ( Eduardo )
This was Mid-West Hospitality at its Finest !
Being a Mets Fan, I figured too be 'Persona Non Grata', but none of that.
Over the next 3 Days, I found My way back to Broken Bat a couple of times, a 'Field of Dreams' of sorts, where Beer meets Baseball Wiffle Ball & ART.
From my vantage point Broken Bat, is driven by a Love of Baseball, Beer and most importantly FUN !!! With Craft Beers like: Straight CHEDD, Just a Wit Outside, Mr. Octoberfest, High & Tight, plus Wiffle Ball, how can't you have FUN ......
My Very Best Regards to, Owners Celina, Tim & the BBB Staff ànd All the thought, genius & attention to those you serve that is Broken Bat Brewing Co.
Sincerely,
Thomas E. Kay
Will always be my favorite brewery in the city. Was the first craft brewery I went to when I moved to Milwaukee in 2019. Immediately fell in love. Baseball, beer. Not much more to ask for. The staff is amazing, the beers are cold, and the vibes are immaculate. 🍻
The last few times I have been here the service has been really poor. Unfriendly welcome, bartenders on their phone all the time, got my order wrong a bunch of times because they are not even paying attention to what I am saying. Used to be better but has gone downhill. Not very warm and welcoming at all. Just feels shitty when you are excited to support a place that means something to you and is good for the community when you are not appreciated. Breweries are a tough industry to be in and recurring customers are valuable!!
Laid back, mellow brewery. The Beach Ball tap is the same. Pizza is frozen Costco and a fine munchie to go along :)

Friendly staff - great beer - easy parking - food friendly
21 year old bartender was too invested in her convo with a fellow Gen Z patron to bother checking for us if the beer we liked was available to-go. Cool space and loved all the baseball memorabilia. Beer was pretty average but that’s subjective. Just wished the service was better or we would have stayed longer.
This place is now one of my favorites. So glad we stopped here. Great beer and bartenders. Fun atmosphere too. We go to a lot of breweries and we really enjoyed this one. Wish we lived closer so we could go more.
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
Broken Bat Brewing was the PERFECT place to host our rehearsal dinner!! There was enough space in the Lumber Room for our entire bridal party to have dinner and run through the ceremony. On top of that - Broken Bat allowed us to use their "getting ready" area for our groom/groomsmen to get dressed in. We only needed a couple hours and they went above and beyond in allowing us to utilize/grab some drinks/and take pics
couldn't recommend Broken Bat more for any special events & the beer is out of this world!!!
