Always a fun time at broken bat! They have rotating beers on tap as well as basic cocktails and wine. The bartenders are always sparking up conversation and so fun to chat with. Broken Bat features dart and wiffleball leagues - which I would highly recommend!! You can also rent the wiffleball field for a fun time with friends and they have an event space upstairs as well. read more

Great bloody Mary, even better dog friendly brewery. They host great events and there's also a super fun wiffle ball court in the back that's available to rent. read more

The location, the size of the venue, and ability to cordon off a section for private parties was awesome at Broken Bat. Decor was cool and can't believe they have a full size wiffle ball field inside! All the staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive. The beers/seltzers on draft were just ok, though. And when that's your business, I have to ding you by a star. read more

I don't drink beer, but I had a seltzer at an event and I downed two! It was so fruity. Thanks for a good experience with beer!

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

I am a big fan of broken bat as a nice chill brewery with a nice aesthetic to watch a game or throw darts. I am also excited to see their wiffle ball games. I think this is a great place to grab some friends and grab a few beers. The bartenders are extremely helpful and fun to talk to. read more

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! read more

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 read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

The beers were cold and tasty. However, service could have been faster at times on a slow, non-busy day. The place was spacious and nicely decorated, and the bathrooms were spotless. The average pint of beer was a bit expensive at $7.50 for me. I'm used to paying a lot less read more

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! read more

In the beginning of the year, I heard there was a poké popup happening at Broken Bat Brewing and thought, beer? Poké? Sounds good to me! A poké spot whose location is right across the street, Aloha Poké, was in house making bowls and Broke Bat had plenty of beers to choose from. Broken Bat's basement location is warm, casual, comfortable, and inviting. We decided immediately, from a strictly atmospheric perspective--this place was our jam. We each ordered a stout (solid) and grabbed a poké bowl. They have beers to suit any taste from sours and IPAs to stouts, pils, and lagers. We love the stouts, so stuck with those. I noticed on their website that they're actually in the middle of moving (this was before the #saferathome order). Looks like their new location will be in Walker's Point, which I think would suit them. Their vibe seemed a bit more Walker's Point than Third Ward. I also read on their site that they'll be starting to-go beers out of their new location on Pittsburgh Ave in Walker's Point, beginning April 1 (and then of course, will be serving in-house once it's safe to do so). read more

For a brewery, I think Broken Bat is pretty great in Milwaukee! I am not really a beer drinker but I think that this brewery has some options with strong ABV that are also tasty! The biggest appeal to this brewery is that you can rent out the wiffle ball field in the back of it and play! This was so nostalgic of childhood memories and just a ton of fun. I believe it is around $170 to rent out the field for an hour. They recommend having about 10 people on each team but you can do more or less and I am sure that it will still be great. The bartenders are friendly and welcoming. read more

I've followed Broken Bat from their tiny beginning location to their new huge location. It's a terrific place, especially right now when we need all the space we can get. The staff is consistently welcoming and friendly. I haven't had a bad experience here. I'm not a milkshake IPA fan but their pineapple one is delicious. It may be the only one I've really liked anywhere. Overall, they have a nice, rounded out selection. I'm sure any beer drinker can find something. Definitely worth a trip over to Walker's Point with Indeed and Mobcraft so close by as well. Thank you, Broken Bat! read more

A cool brewery to happen upon, for sure, but since it was part of the Maker's Market, we didn't actually sit inside and sipped our beers while perusing the crafts. A great variety of beers on tap, including sours, darks, ales, and Oktoberfests! The baseball decor is a little kitsch but I was with baseball fans and they loved looking at all the posters and pictures. Plus, they have a beer called Can of Corn which is a great reference to Bob Prince. This brewery goes for the more industrial style with a lot of exposed duct work, butcher block top tables, and iron. Still very cool. read more

This was my last stop before heading back home in this weekend trip to Wisconsin. I enjoyed their space which is huge and I bet that they host sun parties for birthdays etc. I wasn't to keen in the menu so I just had one of their brews.

We tried Left Blinker- coconut nitro Porter. Very coconutty (is that a word?) but needed more body Wanted to try the New England IPA- ugly finder but they were out. Send 'em- west coast IPA 5points- Pomegranate Sour Ale- probably the truest description and the tastiest of the bunch ... Down the block- Baltic porter which like the left blinker also needed a little more body. Overall cute atmosphere and if you pass by try your luck... read more

We rented out the whiffle ball field in the back for a friends birthday and had a blast. It's $125/hour to have the back room to yourself and we ended up adding on another hour because we were having so much fun. For drinks, I started off with the sour and it wasn't my favorite but I'm pretty picky about sours. I ended up switching to one of the IPAs and it was great. I'd definitely come here again even if it wasn't for an event. They're dog friendly and have so many options! COVID Precautions: All staff were wearing masks and customers were required to upon entry but honestly there's not much social distancing once you get a drink so keep that in mind. read more

Broken Bat Brewing Co is now my second home. Its a very big, spacious brewery with great brews , ambience and is very dog friendly. Try their Cracker Jack IPA, its smooth and not too hoppy. Their hard seltzers are good too. Although they don't serve food, ypure allowed to order food and bring it inside the establishment. Rhe walls are filled with baseball themed posters and by the bathroom they have a cool wall of figurines of various baseball players. Everythime i go there, I get to meet a bunch a cute dogs and awesome people. I truly love this place. read more

America's pastime married with Wisconsin's pastime, a match made in heaven. We're always treated very well here and atmosphere pays tremendous reverence to the game without being overblown or tacky. I very much recommend the Corre Corre, Mr. Oktoberfest, Benny and Ripper. Great variety to say the least. read more

We recently- had rehearsal dinner here. It was an awesome venue. We had more than enough space for about 120 people in all. We catered in food which was an ez process. The Staff was ez to work with.

Oh and the beer was great as well. read more

Stopped in the Broken Bat on Saturday after perusing art for the last Gallery event of 17. This quaint Brewing Company is located in an underground location on Buffalo Street. We loved the space, even though it was small it doesn't feel too small. I had the Chedd beer and while I usually do not like a darker beer, this one tasted really good. Sometimes when you get the dark beers they taste too heavy but this one was filling without making me feel weighed down. I was a little disappointed there aren't any food offerings, but we loved the complimentary nuts. Living in the Third Ward, I could see us coming back to watch some games and have a beer. The only thing I would say needs work is that even though they weren't too busy they didn't greet us when we walked in and while not unfriendly...definitely didn't make us feel too welcome. Will definitely give them another go when we are in the area again. read more

We hosted our "Welcome Party" here for our wedding weekend and we couldn't have picked a better place. My husband, Mark, and I have been told by so many of our friends and family about how fun everyone had! The wiffle ball field was a fantastic way for our friends and family to let loose, mingle, and enjoy. The space makes for a great layout for people to spread and enjoy each other's company. Each staff member we worked with was absolutely fantastic (nothing but nice, helpful, and incredibly genuine). We stopped in months earlier to check out the space (on our own), and the bartender on duty was beyond kind and helpful in answering our questions. Beyond that introduction, someone helped us with every step and answered every question. Everyone on duty that night was so positive, helpful, and welcoming. Especially as our party did run a bit later. We brought in our own food, and they accommodated this so well (tables, napkins, etc). Drinks were flowing and they made tabbing so easy for us with our large party. Without a doubt, the easiest and most enjoyable large-scale event. Truly, we cannot thank Broken Bat Brewing Co. for such a wonderful experience. Thank you so very much for helping us to kick off such a wonderful weekend. read more

I've been coming to Broken Bat for years, starting back when they were at their literal underground location in the Third Ward on Buffalo Street, and they've just simply continued to get better over time in the best ways. The newer space they have is awesome. The taproom is huge, with tons of high-top tables set against the outer wall, several in the middle based around support pillars, and a long bar top directly in front of their taps and coolers along the east wall. They also have a few shorter tables to the right when you walk in, which are perfect for groups with younger kids or people who have dogs. That brings me to the best part about Broken Bat, at least in my opinion- they allow dogs! Other than Black Husky in the Riverwest neighborhood, this is the only brewery we go to on a regular basis that allows dogs, and it definitely makes going here over some other local breweries a much easier and better call. The floors in the taproom are made of concrete, so if your pup gets a little excited or is still a puppy and potty-training, it won't be a huge deal to clean up. They also have dog bowls they'll let you use for the duration of your visit to put water in for your dog, and they just added a water cooler next to a shorter table off to the right of the bar and entryway that has large cups to go with it, allowing for a great alternative option if your dog is thirsty and all the dog bowls are being used. The bartenders have always been super nice with my dog and I when I've been here, and they go out of their way to come over and pet him and talk for a little bit, adding a huge personal touch to the visit (I should also note that the bartenders ask to make sure it's okay to pet him, which is awesome, as I've seen bartenders at other bars just dive right into a dog's face with their hand and the dog gets scared). Honestly, being able to bring my dog here is one of the major reasons why I keep coming back here time and time again on a pretty regular basis. The other reason? The awesome theming and the great beer. The taproom is massive compared to their old space, and it can hold a pretty large crowd, especially during sporting events, which I highly recommend for Broken Bat. chockfull of baseball-themed signage and décor, and they have always have sports on. Whether it's a Bucks playoff game or a Packers or Brewers regular season game, they have a ton of TVs both behind the bar and spread throughout the taproom, so no matter where you sit, you'll always have a great view. The space is also large but cozy, so if you want to really get into that camaraderie during playoff games, it's very easy to get to know your neighbors. The beer is also incredible, and, obviously, if a brewery doesn't have great beer, what's the point in coming back? My go-tos are either their sours (their Concession Stand series set of beers are amazing, with Cherry, Blue Raspberry, Banana Split, and Lemon Ice flavors) or their lighter beers (their Mexican Lager is among the best I've had in all of Milwaukee). They also make awesome special edition beers (their Can of Corn beer is a corn-style ale made from the corn surrounding the Field of Dreams field in Dyersville, Iowa), and they have great seasonal beers as well (their Mr. Oktoberfest beer is probably the best Oktoberfest-style beer I've had in Milwaukee, even beating out Lakefront honestly). They also have a ton of heavier/darker beers, like stouts and porters, but that's not necessarily my favorite kind of beer, so I'm not as knowledgeable about that section of the beer world. Between their light lagers and sours and darker beers though, any beer drinker will find something to love here. They also have a cool-looking wiffleball field that can be rented out to private groups in the back of the building, and they also have a wiffleball league during different times of the year. I've yet to participate, but I've heard from some friends who went with work colleagues that it's awesome. Finally, the newest addition to the brewery, at least to me, is their food truck. As they allow dogs in the bar, they can't serve food inside due to health code, and they instead had a food truck sitting directly outside the bar when I went yesterday afternoon. The choices were standard ballpark fare- hot dogs, brats, burgers, chicken sandwiches- along with classic Wisconsin snack staples, like cheese curds, cheese fries, and a large pretzel. We went with the cheese curds, which were reasonably priced at $8, and enjoyed them. They were, admittedly, a bit bland and salty, and the guy pulled them out of a freezer in front of me when I ordered, so they're made directly from some kind of frozen cheese curd wholesale product. Nonetheless, it satiated my hunger, and the ranch was great as well! It'll be cool to come back more often and utilize the food truck as time goes on, and hopefully they expand the menu soon! read more

This is another great local brewery currently moving to a new location because they've grown so much. They have a lot of beers on tap and an ever rotating list. I'd recommend trying the cracker jack caramel stout or the harry cherry. I havent found a beer I absolutely love here but they keep things interesting and bring new flavors to their beers. They're also extremely dog friendly and even have events for dog owners to get discounts for bringing their pups in. Lots of other events are always going on too. Beware of parking though, its location in the third ward can make it a hassle. read more
