50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Milwaukee

“I went in at lunchtime, service was quick and the food was amazing. I got the Axo Omelet with homemade potatoes. The potatoes were delicious, and the Omelet was great with cilantro and avocado ontop of it. I will be returning as the menu options all sounded so good that I had trouble deciding what I wanted. My next try will be the biscuits and gravy with chorizo! The staff were also really polite and seemed happy to be serving me food, I appreciated that. Its awesome to have some good breakfast place within walking distance from my apartment!“

“I cannot say enough good things about this place. The owner and the bartenders make this the perfect neighborhood Irish bar. Great atmosphere and the food is top notch. Great portion sizes and a good value. A must for Friday Fish Fry, it is fantastic! And the chicken wings are out of this world. 5-stars for O'Lydias!“

“Fun place! Always get treated good. Great food and great staff. Alfredo cooks some killer burgers, Bridgett, Josey, Eli are very hardworking and excellent at serving everyone. Bloody Mary is delicious as well.“

“My go to is usually a almond chai or Jolly Green Jenny, a single maple-syrup laced crepe and a side of tofu scramble. Together they satisfy all my sweet salty and savory cravings with a comforting hot beverage. It’s always civilized in there, everyone keeping their voices to a mellow decibel and the greenery all over in the living walls is over the top beautiful. In the summertime it’s gorgeous outside. Michael and his staff are always hospitable and polite and you feel like they’re family taking care of you. It’s a terrific little gem tucked away in a sweet spot. Go there for healthy ish eats but mostly go because it feeds your soul.“

“Went back here again because it is the best custard I have ever tasted. And it has been that way for the last 50 years that I can remember. It still is a little pricey, but it is worth it. Parking lot is still a mess. Every time I go there are some close calls with cars and people walking around.“

“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 💕“

“If a cup of coffee could flirt with your spirit, Discourse Coffee Workshop on Barkley in Milwaukee would be the one batting its lashes. I ordered the Flora and let me tell you — from the very moment my lips touched the cup, I knew I had stepped into another dimension.

This isn’t just espresso; it’s artistry.
It’s alchemy.
It’s what happens when coffee decides to put on a silk robe, light incense, and whisper poetry.

The first sip? Floral, creamy, soft — yet confident.

That oat milk-kissed espresso wrapped itself around my palate like a warm hug from the universe. The lavender honey syrup added a gentle sweetness, not loud or perfumey — just enough to let you know she’s divine. The rosewater? A subtle spiritual elevation. The candied lemon powder? A bright kiss on the finish. And the fleur de sel sealed it — a tiny spark that made every flavor stand at attention.

I tasted everything. Every intentional note. And with each sip, it only got better.

By the time I reached the bottom of the cup, I wasn't ready to say goodbye. This was easily the best espresso-based drink I’ve ever had. A soft, luxurious symphony in a cup — one that made me close my eyes and appreciate the moment every single time.

Discourse isn’t just serving coffee…
They’re serving portals, rituals, and revelations.

10/10 — Go treat your taste buds to something magical. ✨☕🌸“

“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“

“I come here all the time and both the drinks and the desserts are absolutely delectable fr. The price is also decent and it's a good place to study for students because it's open and has a student discount. Also the service is great“

“Stopped in Sunday morning to hang out and journal around 10 am and by the time I left at noon this place was thriving with groups and like minded solos working in a comfortable atmosphere. I ordered the hot latte with white chocolate and it was fantastic, served with nothing but smiles. I’m not someone who eats things that are on the sweet side but decided to indulge in the mini pancakes (crazy mix) and they were soooo good. I look forward to coming back. I also learned they are open late and as someone who doesn’t drink much I look forward to testing out the atmosphere in the evening sometime.“

“Amorphic's 3 year anniversary party was absolutely epic. The space is incredible. I can't wait to try the golf simulator. The beer keeps evolving, and it attracts a very nice crowd. I highly recommend bringing friends and building memories.“

“We've been to so many breweries in so many different cities and states... What makes Mobcraft unique is that they have beers that you will most likely not see anywhere else. Some are good, some are just interesting, but the selection is big and you should have no problem finding something you like the bartender are very knowledgeable and can help you pick something you can drink, also the pretzel is a must Mustard dip is ! This a great stop for some great beers. 100% recommend!“

“Love to treat my dog to ice-cream!“

“If you’re reading this, make the reservation. Easily a 10/10 meal. We started with the burrata, their specialty. It was, in a word, divine. The bread was perfectly toasted. The salad underneath the burrata changes seasonally, and the apricot, honey, and truffle oil elevated it beyond expectation. I could have had another order of this for my entrée and been set. My chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Unpretentious but perfectly executed. The potatoes and broccolini came to life with the lemon caper sauce. My husband had the mac n’ cheese with short rib. The creamy mac and tender meat don’t compete in flavor — they’re in a loving, happy marriage. This is what restaurant BBQ mac should be. I’m not usually a crème brûlée person, or at least, I thought I wasn’t. I let my husband pick the dessert, and it did not disappoint. Perfectly creamy and flavorful. This is the experience you want when you decide you’re ordering a dessert. The service was top-notch. The alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks were all delightful. Heirloom MKE delivered one of my favorite dinners to date.“

“One of, if not my favorite, MKE places!“

“After moving here four years ago, I had given up hope of finding a place with genuinely decent baked fish. I finally found it here! The food is excellent, and the staff is absolutely amazing.

I've had Anjalesa twice now, and she has been wonderful—truly exceptional service.

If I could complain about one thing, it's the consistent lack of salad. I've come three Fridays now, and every time, the salad is completely gone, which is the only side I can have. They can't have one of the best ranches and not carry enough salad that they run out every Friday I've been here! I end up paying full price but leave with no side.

I hope the management sees this and addresses the salad stock, because otherwise, this place is a huge winner.“

“Gorgeous interior and bar area. Excellent food! Excellent wait staff and hosts. Great place to eat, chat and catch up with friends“

“Went for the first time today for a doggo lunch date with muh fur baby. Wonderful staff and quick service. I noticed negative reviews complaining there was dogs, well no crap it’s the business model and there’s an actual picture of a dog on the door and logo. ANYWAYS price is a little steep but when I got my food holy cow it was delicious. And I love that they have dog friendly menu items available as well. The place is super clean for the amount of guests and animals that come through. Loved that the food pickup and service area is separate from dining. The only downfall was I did pay for pickles and there wasn’t any but I didn’t even notice it until I devoured the first half of my food. No big deal. I ordered the steak sandwich and strawberry limeade which I also love is made by hand with fresh fruit. My dog is now sleeping in a food coma as am I.“

“Wife and I went for a long walk along the east side then decided to look for a sushi restaurant. Found this place close by. We ordered 5 different rolls and some veggie Stirfry w a side of rice. Everything was excellent! We had a great experience. Reasonable prices. We would go back.“

“Best coffee shop I've tried in Milwaukee, hands down. Good quality, good pricing, and great super-quick service. I've gotten in and out in less than a minute which is incredible. Dig it, will continue to be a return customer!“

“Came for lunch with my 4 year old grandson. The food was great. We had the Godzilla burger, and. omelette rice. Loved the miso soup and the Japanese pickles are amazing!! My grandson was so excited to sit upstairs by Godzilla and was so excited to see mothra, garidos and magicarp too! Great service and atmosphere!“

“they have delicious food! and the staff is very nice“

“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.“

“Delicious sandwich and “just right” portion and price by itself. I’ll be back for phô!“

“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!!!!!!!“

“Only place around we know where you can play pingpong for free! They had pinball machines, darts and pingpong in the back. We came here for my mother's 64th birthday because she wanted to play table tennis and it was so fun! I haven't seen her smile like that in a long time!“

“Very friendly waitstaff; excellent food and service“

“Brandon is a great tour guide. The brewery tour is very generous and def a must do for visitors in town. They have the best cheese curds in Milwaukee 8 years running. They also have a great view of the river from their deck which is perfect for photos.“

“The service, the food, and the atmosphere were top notch!“

“Great drinks, great pastries, great service. Every. SingIe. Time. I sure do miss those weekend chorizo hand pies though!“

“Found this place on a whim by searching food near me on our way home from St. Lukes. We checked out the menu and were sold! I must say the food was hot and tasty! I had the Onion Burger, My friend the Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos. The serving size were plentiful. We will definitely be back and we'll spread the word !! Keep it Up!!“

“I’ve worked multiple weddings at Best Place at the Historic Pabst Brewery, and it’s incredible! As the owner of Beauty Unveiled by Tia, a premier on-location hair and makeup company, I love this stunning historic venue with its original stained glass windows, ornate woodwork, cream city brick, and timeless charm that makes every bridal look absolutely shine. Highly recommend!“

“All they have for food is all they need for food: pizza. They have classic and modern cabinets + enough pinball, skee ball, and hoops games to keep you entertained. Plays are $0.25/player for every game, but they have specials that lower the cost per play even further. Great for small and large parties alike

Vegetarian options: Mona Lisa is a margarita pizza

Dietary restrictions: They have ciders and seltzer, but I do wish they had more rice beers

Parking: More reliable parking is on N Jackson

Kid-friendliness: The bar is strictly 21+

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps to main floor. I believe there's an elevator to the second floor“

“Great place to bring your dogs.“

“Awesome place!! My uncle used to be part owner years ago and my mom worked there. Supposedly I was conceived on the bar“

“Stopped here during a dive bar tour and met with the owner. What a gem of a place to visit. Felt right at home and highly recommend going here. Felt right at home like a place back in or town of 4000 residents in northwest Ohio. Will definitely return. Cheers“

“We decided to make a quick stop in during a weekend to Milwaukee. It was an amazing experience! Bartender was awesome, spirits and cocktails was truly unique and so good. We purchased quite a bit to take home, including some Christmas gifts for family. Would highly recommend.“

“Every time I go to Baya Bar I always get the Bella Nutella Bowl. It is so good it’s a must to try! Baya Bar is my favorite juice bar to go too! They have many different options such smoothies, bowls, toast, etc for everyone. The staff is amazing and always welcoming. Orders come out pretty fast. I highly recommend everyone to try this place you will love it!“

“Stopped in for an afternoon coffee. It was fresh and flavorful. My fiancé had the espresso martini and she said they were incredible.“

“I am so unobservant! How did I not know that this splendid place has been open in my neighborhood for over 2 years?!?! Just lovely inside and out. My group of friends and I had a really nice time trying their great selection of brews and I even took home a bottle of Saison Bay View for later on. They have outdoor seating that I am looking forward to relaxing on for many days after work this summer. The bartendress was knowledgeable and super friendly. We'll definitely be back now that I know this hidden gem is nearby.“

“We went here to celebrate my son’s engagement. The restaurant went above and beyond, the staff and servers were wonderful and the drinks and food were great! Had a wonderful time, the domes are so cool.“

“Great bartenders, fun events!“

“Nothing I write can capture how much I enjoyed my experience at Tied House. We just happened to pass by their beautiful outdoor garden, and I’m so very happy we decided to go in. Julia, our server, was so helpful and very personable. Melissa and Adam, the owners, were amazing. They explained their craft to us and helped us to understand the creativity and passion that goes into every cocktail. All businesses should share their enthusiasm!! I wish we lived closer so we could visit them more often! I promise that every time we find ourselves in Milwaukee, we will be visiting the Tied House!!“

“Pricing is reasonable for seafood and food is delicious. Crab legs were AMAZING!“

“This place is always just the best! It’s cozy, the wings are amazing, and the drinks are flowing. I’ve never had a bad experience.
Another HUGE positive… the inside is renovated! It’s not a dumpy dark dive bar. It’s a local spot with a great ambiance.
The place can get crowded and isn’t huge - groups under 10 are definitely recommended.
Street parking only around there, so be prepared to walk a little. But it’s not insane.“

“Great place! Great atmosphere, staff, & beer selection! Highly recommend!“

“Went on a slower Tuesday night, service was easy and friendly, & they had a variety of draft beer, wine, and thc drinks. Food was awesome, came out quickly, and there was plenty to go around.

Rye IPA was my favorite. Overall 10/10 first visit“

“I was very pleasantly surprised with this place. Asian fusion places can be a hit or miss for me but I found the dishes very tasty. Many flavors were still authentic and they have a nice selection of cocktails. Good and warm atmosphere with very kind staff!“

“Food is always fresh and cooked with great flavors and thought!“

“Great local place. Very friendly service. And the pancakes were amazing!“
