26 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.“

“Great selection of beer and food. I ordered the carne asada bowl, and it was delicious. The only downside was that the meat portion was a little on the light side. Service was also a bit slow, and our server didn’t check on us as often as we would’ve liked. Overall, though, a good experience and I’d come back.“

“Fun atmosphere, great spot to watch the Brewers“

“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.“

“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 💕“

“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!“

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

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

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

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

“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 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.“

“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.“

“Great place nice people and great Beer !!“

“We went on a Tuesday afternoon for their all day happy hour...it is a low energy tasting room. The beer was classic brewery beer. Prices were on the high end $8 a pint and that was on happy hour... Would I return sure the beer was Good 👍“

“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!“

“Explorium Brewpub has become my favorite restaurant since I was diagnosed with celiac disease last year. The menu provides a good variety of food and drink I am especially fond of the gluten free pizza. Thank you for your care and concern for guests who are gluten free by necessity.“

“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! 👍“

“Nate was our server and we have never had someone so great. He was attentive and had great hospitality. You can tell that he loves his job and that’s what makes him so great at it. Not to mention the food and overall restaurant was outstanding.“
