    Super unique bar! Would love to come back when there is wiffle ball in action. I had a nonalcoholic IPA and it was delicious! A must visit for any baseball fan. They name their beers after baseball theme terms and concepts. Dog friendly too! Shoutout to the friendly staff at this bar!

    We visited Broken Bat on a rainy Sunday afternoon, right as they opened. The bartenders (I think one was the owner) were welcoming and quick to answer questions and offer samples before we made our final selections. I had the High 'N Tight and the Captain Cliche, and I'll be honest, I did not detect a huge difference between the two, though I liked both a great deal. The decor is truly a baseball fan's dream. Aficionados of any team, not just the Brewers, will enjoy the vibe. My husband really liked looking at certain walls covered in baseball cards. I enjoyed looking at old posters of pervious brews offered by Broken Bat. They have come up with some creative names! There is plenty of seating, and the seating options are great for groups. Several groups filtered in while we were there, including a pedal bar tour. Music was excellent (some older tunes) and not too loud, which is something I have appreciated with age!

    I've been wanting to check out broken bat brewing. I had an unused gift card but never made my way over. I came on a Saturday afternoon probably shortly after they open. It wasn't very crowded and allowed dogs. The bartender was quick and very nice. I had a strawberry sour and it was very smooth and easy to drink. We came when they had their walkers point makers market and they had a nice space upstairs for all of their makers. We didn't really check out the batting area but would definitely come back to check it out.

    Since we are baseball fans, we had to check out a baseball themed brewery. They have several types of beers, IPAS, lagers and sours. They also have seltzers. Decorated with baseball cards,, bobbleheads and other baseball themed items, it is a chill place to have a beer, and play darts. pool or whiffle ball. If you are a baseball and craft beer fan, this is a must stop when in the Milwaukee area.

    Cool spot i dropped in to grab some beers before the brewers game that day. Vibes are high. The crowd there was fun, and they have various games to keep you entertained.

    Update, since I've been to Broken Bat Brewing's newer big league digs a few times and just haven't written about it. You got your sports televisions above the bar, plenty of seating in their larger space, and a full on wiffle ball court that's reservable! That and they keep upping their beer and seltzer game. Was there recently and they've instituted a price change to accomodate a no-tipping strategy, which the bartender explained. Nice that they're trying to serve the servers, oh no. Broken Bat- Hit 'em up!

    I was pretty shocked I hadn't come across this place when doing my research on a Milwaukee visit. Someone at the nearby Bobblehead Hall of Fame told me about it and I knew I had to work it into my visit. If you're a baseball and craft beer fan this place is an absolute must. Every beer name is a play on something baseball related and the relatively new taproom would make for a great place to catch games. Even from a purely beer fan perspective I think they're worth a visit. They had a few unique options and seem to cycle new ideas in and out pretty frequently. The two unique ones I tried were a white wine aged witbier and a tequila aged lager. I thought the witbier was fantastic, the lager was a little less my speed, but if you're a tequila fan I'd highly recommend. I wish there were an equivalent spot available to me in Austin and more elsewhere around the country. Can't recommend this place enough

    3-on-3 seems ideal on this field.

    We are Packers fans from Indy. When headed to Green Bay, Broken Bat was our second stop on the trip of the year. We found the brewery online and (after talking to the team at Broken Bat) decided some wiffle ball would be the perfect respite on the way to the Tundra. We were not disappointed. The place has a baseball theme and we were welcome to sample the beers prior to first pitch. We rented the field for an hour and after serious stretching played 3 three-inning games of 2v2. It was amazing. The crew behind the bar was friendly and knowledgable. The beers were cold. The swag well designed. WE WILL BE BACK. Go Pack Go.

    My husband and I got married on April 16, 2022. We were looking for a space to host our rehearsal dinner the night before. Baseball is a mutual interest of ours, and it was a recurring theme throughout our wedding. Broken Bat is one of our favorite breweries, so we reached out to them to see if we could host our event there. With our group size, the brewery wasn't a good fit, but we were told that they were in the early stages of building an upstairs space. The owner said he would check back in with us at a later date to see if we were still in need of a place. We reconnected later and were told great news! The upstairs, Lumber Room, was on track to finish up by spring of 22. That made our event the first to be held there. Everyone we spoke with was lovely. Celina made this entire experience easy for us and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. With us being the first party in their new space, they worked with us on time, cost, and group size. We did receive an email a couple weeks before saying the elevator was not on schedule to be finished by our event. Luckily, this didn't affect anyone in our party, so nothing changed for us. The Lumber Room is terrific! It is extremely spacious, with plenty of tables and chairs. There was plenty of room after our 50 guests. The woodwork is beautiful and it's a cool area. We got catering from Glorioso's and the staff helped to set everything up. The bartenders were attentive and helpful to people making decisions about what beers to drink. We had plenty of space to mingle, eat, and do a wedding party run-through. Walker's Point neighborhood is awesome and this is the perfect place for an event! Don't hesitate in booking the Lumber Room!

    Good beer with a theme that is ideal for baseball fans. Usually make it here once a baseball season, which is perfect because there are always new beers to sample by then. Most of the beers have some silly names, but I wouldn't let that throw you off. The bartender told me one of there most popular is the Beach Ball Pineapple Milkshake IPA and I would have to agree it is delicious. The food truck outside is a must stop as well, whether it's before, during, or after. If I lived in Milwaukee I would definitely be here frequently, even if it was just to pick up a four-pack. Broken Bat Brewing Co is a concrete miracle.

    Recently, I went to Broken Bat after visiting a long time ago. I was pleasantly surprised to find out the got a new head brewer and the beer is much better than it used to be. I tried several different styles and they were all good. I also found out they have a very nice 2nd floor area for events. After previously avoiding this place, I have to say I will be going back and suggesting to others that they give them a second chance.

    Fun & great place. I have yet to have a bad beer or boring visit. Plus it allows dogs so if you have a well trained pupper then you can go in.

    We went to Broken Bat for a friend's birthday and it was great! We reserved a wiffle ball field where they can accommodate up to 20 people (we had a lot less than that but it was nice to have the space). We were able to quickly sign our waivers and grab drinks at the bar. We reserved the field for an hour but we were easily able to extend it for another hour when nobody else had it booked after us. With the amount of people we had it was extremely affordable. The service was great and there were plenty of drinks for us to choose from at the bar. Definitely a great place to go to celebrate something or for a fun outing with a group!

There was a polka band and they guys walked around singing to all the tables before their set started. Super cool. They have a small kitchen.

There's a little deck in the back that overlooks the Milwaukee River that we were able to enjoy on a beautiful, unseasonably warm day. Overall a nice time here. One kind of weird thing that happened here, which I only mention because it didn't seem like our tour guide was able to handle it in the moment, and they definitely need a system in place to handle guests that are making the rest of the group uncomfortable. There was a guy who kept turning around and staring at people, fidgeting in a way that I recognized as agitation, and kind of pacing. All the parents who had kids in the group realized there was a problem and even though we didn't know each other, kind of formed a line in front of the kids. I'm sure it was a one-off, but there has to be a way to deal with guests like that. Also a little weird that kids over the age of 12 have to pay for the tour, but each of their soda drinks took two tokens, while the adults only used one for beers.

The bar tap handles are all hand painted ducks and there is a plethora of product to peruse, from beer, to merch, to whiskey, and beyond! Located just north of historic third ward in the beer district, you should definitely make it a point to stop in and patronize.

On that Friday, we drove up from Chicago, checked into hotel, & went to the Brewers game. The next day I was trying to find out Millers brew tours (even though I don't like their beer, but it's an iconic large American brand), but they didn't do the tours anymore. I think they may have stopped them when Covid happened, never brought them back or at least at that point. I was searching online & calling around as I thought it'd be cool to do some brewing tour, and places said no. Finally, Indeed Brewing said come on down, we will give you a tour. Speaking of I is for Indeed, I was at I for an Industrial museum, well various art about people at work called Grohmann Museum, and I had dropped my friend off at the Science Museum. I called him and said I found a brew tour. We both enthusiastically went over to Indeed. The owner gave us a tour of the various. He told us to wait as he was busy, pretty busy on that Saturday afternoon, go get yourself a beer. Wow, great beer! The tour was informative. My friend got a 2nd beer. I'm a bit slower of a drinker. After his 2nd beer, he was buzzed and said I know it's going to sound crazy and that I would probably say no, but wanna go to the Brewers game again? I'd say the baseball game again was the beer talking, but he loves baseball, so I'm sure he would've said that anyway. I said Brewers were my favorite between going to White Sox on Wednesday, Cubs on Thursday, & Brewers on Friday, but I don't wanna go to baseball game for the 4th night in a row, and there was more I wanted to explore in Milwaukee. We were going to be leaving the next morning to take a side trip to Madison and then leave from O'Hare later in the afternoon. Incidentally, while I enjoyed Milwaukee on my own that night, I missed a great game as Brewers pitcher Adrian Houser threw a complete game-shutout! No way of knowing. And the night before Cardinals slaughtered Brewers 15-4. So, I went to the wrong game, but I had a lot of fun. In summary, Indeed Brewing was a great memory of the tour, great beer, nice owner, & nice crew. If I'm ever in Milwaukee again, I'd revisit Indeed.
