“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!“

Broken Bat Brewing Co. Brewery • $
135 E Pittsburgh Ave, Milwaukee - 5.13 miles

“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 was first introduced to Layman Brewing on a quiet Sunday afternoon and have since made it my go to spot. If we are going to meet for dinner or brunch, chances are good I’m dragging you to Layman’s. I appreciate the skill and work these two put into brewing great beer and making yummy food. The fishfry with that tartar sauce is the best. Smash burgers for breakfast yes please! The bartenders are always crafting some delicious cocktails, and I mean crafting. If you’re still on the fence once Sarah comes around and entices you with her apple pie, you’ll be hooked! Go enjoy something delicious and soak up the friendly vibe for this little homegrown establishment.“

“Coffee shop/bar - happing place. Smell of Coffee is wonderful, lively conversation, bright windows (look like doors open during summer), but back area is darker with a more intimate feeling. Sampled several beers and enjoyed all of them, especially the Bruv - it tastes just like an ambrosia salad (I know, not really beer like, but perfect for dessert). Staff was all very friendly.“

I typically drink barrel-aged stouts, but I loved all three of my half pours - Sensitive King, Saison Bay View, and Garten. Yum! I look forward to my next visit.“

I absolutely love how owner Steve supports his community and organizations like the Wisconsin Humane Society and his patrons. Also as a retired Infection Control Practitioner, I am SO impressed with the cleanliness of the facility and especially how UHBC operated during COVID-19 pandemic ... nice job!“

Third Space Brewing Brewery • $
1505 W St Paul Ave, Milwaukee - 3.93 miles

“We had a great experience using this location for a private event. We rented the Loading Dock for a surprise milestone birthday party. The team was responsive (got back to me the same day as my date inquiry), helpful (we had a theme and they helped us pump in music to match and put videos up on the in-room screen) and accommodating (allowing us to come view the space in person at a time the taproom was typically closed to fit our schedule). At the party we received many comments on the space and how perfect it was, and I personally appreciated the bartenders who looked the other way as our children ran slightly amuck. Thanks for making our event so special!“

“We had a nice time, we usually go to Explorium in Greendale so we were happy to check it out before a show. Drinks were well made; their beers are also excellent, I love the sours and cream city crusher. Small plates were good, stand outs were the pork belly and steak with smashed potatoes. Service was attentive, Dylan came by and really made us feel welcome. My husband works downtown, this would be a good spot to meet up after he gets out of work, we'll be back!“

Our friend had a spicy chicken sandwich and had nothing but good things to say. They offer a wide range of beers/flights to appease whatever your taste buds desire.“
