24 Best Brewpubs near Wauwatosa

“Great selection of taps. Friendly bartenders (Chase) . when in Tosa always visited Lions. Three hundred plus miles away and may not get to visit again. Hope we can tag-off to new visitors to the area. Raise a glass to the crew. When the time is right and lightning strikes go visit the Lions.“

“Great place to bring your dogs.“

“Our server was incredibly gracious, funny, sweet, and knowledgeable! Food was pretty good! You can find items that are not pricey. Ambience is definitely noisy. We were looking for a booth away from the main floor and they seated us in the main floor, next to another open booth next to another party. This is not a place you'll go for a peaceful space unless you have a chance to go very early in the afternoon on a week day.“

“Fun atmosphere, great spot to watch the Brewers“

“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!“

“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 💕“

“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.“

“Really enjoyed our meal at St Francis Brewery. Stephanie, our server was attentive and friendly. Food delivery was super speedy. Pretzel bites and cheese were so good. We had the Beer can chicken and chicken tenders- both excellent. Also big fans of the sweet potato fries. Live music was fantastic. Altogether a great vibe- we’ll be back!“

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

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

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

“Guess who is back Feb 20th? Yup, Ebert and Grass! Enjoy the great food and tappers while we perform for this great Establishment!“

“If you're looking for a loud, energetic spot you'll love this place! The beer and food were great and our service was wonderful. It's not fancy, the seats and tables are quite basic but that's just fine. We just found it too loud for the conversation we had hoped to have over dinner.“

“We went with our Pub Pass! It took 1 and a half inning to get service at the bar during an away Brewers game on Saturday! The piller between bars obstructed the view of the bartender to see other sitting customers! But the staff should of advised the bartender.“

“First off, we have been patrons of Explorium Greendale for years. We LOVE their beverages/beer. Their food has really fallen off and we just do not go often anymore. It's such a bummer because it is such a great place in our community. My fish fry was ok, but my husbands fried cod had zero seasoning to the batter. It was literally just fried batter. He is not a tartar sauce user, but in order to get any flavor he needed sauce. Just sad. Our waiter was maybe the biggest dud of a waiter I've had anywhere in awhile. He could not seem to find his smile or energy. Overall it was a disappointing evening beyond our great drinks. Such a bummer, we love this place!“

“Great place nice people and great Beer !!“

“Mobcraft beer selection is growing, padishah is back and it's quite good for the first time after reboot!

And their pizzas are amazing with crust that has like 1mm thin crunchy bottom and the rest is fluffy goodness. Toppings are yummy. Seriously, thank you for amazing pizza!“

“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.“

“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!!!!!!!“

“love a good fruited sour beer! I had the strawberry rhubarb today and let me tell you it is so good!“

“We hosted a private event here and had an outstanding experience from start to finish. The staff was incredibly accommodating, and special shoutout to the team for going out of their way to get me some of their beer cheese soup—it was absolutely incredible. Hats off to the chef and the entire crew for making the night seamless and memorable. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Milwaukee. Highly recommend!“

“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! 👍“

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

“This place was recommended to me by one of my colleagues back in February, we have been there at least 6 times since then The food is amazing and the service has always been top notch! I love it and will continue to make this one of my top dinner spots!“
