Was on a random venture from Chicago to Gary Indiana to Milwaukee all in 1 day and thought there'd be no better way to end the day with a few nice pints. Broken bat definitely sufficed for this occasion. Knowledgeable bartenders and a really solid East Coast IPA. I'm from CA and was a bit iffy on their west coast IPA. Hops were a bit off but all the other brews were solid. Cool layout on the ambiance too. I'll be back if I ever get back to good Ol' WAUKEE! read more

We really enjoyed our beers here tonight. We'd visited at the old, tiny location. They are SO friendly and happy to help you find something that works for you. Beautiful woodwork on the bar! Totally worth a visit! read more

Great place that I stumbled across while walking in the area. It was a short visit to the area but I'm glad I saw the sidewalk sign that said "yes we are open". After all, I was killing time before a Bucks game and this was just the place to do so. The brewery was very clean and welcoming. The bartender was friendly and knowledgeable. We got so caught up in Sports talk, I had quickly downed 2 beer flights. Can't wait to return when I'm in the area again. read more

Excellent beer selection. Outstanding staff. Good place to have a beer and watch the game.

Not nearly enough baseball stuff in the bar, considering the entire brewery is baseball themed. I've seen more baseball swag at Applebees. Beers were just OK, and the names were amusing, but there are better offerings around the city. One of the bartenders just had an attitude about him the whole time. Did not feel very welcoming. TV situation was subpar, and they were tuned to things like jeopardy and college basketball.... Really? A baseball themed brewery doesn't have at least one TV just on MLB Network autoplay? Some very questionable decisions all around. I REALLY wanted to love this place. I love beer, and I love baseball, especially the Brewers, so this seemed like a can't miss offering. However, it was a big swing and a miss. read more

New location is much spacier! Love the location, the dogs, and the space. Beer is just okay, and no outdoor space which sucks for those summer days. Staff were friendly and they have a peach seltzer which is tasty and nice for the non beer drinkers (yes, it's hard to believe but they do exist!) No food but plenty of walkable spots for some grub. We would come here again. read more

What a great place! What great beer! This is a one of a kind place. Was visiting from Los Angeles and had the pleasure to visit this place. The staff is very courteous and the selection of beers is awesome. Wish we had access to this beer in California. read more

Loved the baseball theme. Nice space, lots of room. If you are looking for a flavorful beer that is not too heavy I recommend the 42. No food that I could see, and I did it ask if you could bring in food. We stoped here before a Brewers game. It looked like many others were doing the same. read more

This place had the most incredible men's room out of any bar I have been to in Milwaukee. Every detail, from the overall cleanliness, to the toilet paper stand, to the decorative wall covered in throwback baseball cards was impressive. The beers were alright, I most enjoyed the Apricot Pale Ale and the Mint Porter. But the bathrooms were stellar. read more

Broken Bat Brewing Co - Big Baller Brand with a strong merchandizing presence in this local Milwaukee brew pub - Breweries Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

The beer wasn't anything special It was ok it didn't stand out The place and service was good

Great beer with good variety. Went the other day with my fiance and we each had flights. Some of the beers have a very strong flavor, so the flight was nice to have a little bit of each. Tables are spaced far apart so it fell safe Covid-wise. Friendly and helpful staff and decent prices as well. Would recommend to anyone who hasn't been yet. read more

Great new micro-brewery with a solid line of beers to fit individual tastes. I tasted several of their offerings. The Double Play double IPA was my favorite, and I left with a growler of it. Stop in and check it out! read more

Great variety of beers, lovely taproom, cute little food truck and SUPER CLEAN bathrooms! What more could you ask for?

Cute spot, nice service. Tried a flight and the standouts were the While We Wait and the Straight Chedd. It's low key spot to try some local brews. They have actual brewing going on in the same space, which makes the place smell a little damp/yeast-y (? not a huge beer drinker I'm not sure what the actual smell is... perhaps it's basement poor ventilation combined with beer making combined with a bit of mustiness from being crowded) which took a moment to adjust to. Overall this is a cute and cozy spot in the Third Ward, but nothing to write home about. read more

I loved my first experience at Broken Bat! Great concept with tasty beer and an extremely helpful staff. Loved Pat in particular - very friendly and knowledgeable. Will be back whenever I am in town and am stopping back for some merch tomorrow! read more

Cool bar in the basement, pretty good beer as well. Priced a little high but it's nice to support local brews. Friendly bar tender and good staff with a good double IPA read more

Been here a few times. Beers are good but the customer service is freaking amazing! Came here for their anniversary party with some friends. Their credit card machine was acting wonky so I ended up paying g cash for our drinks. Well, their card machine ended up charging me 3 times. When I called I spoke with Tim who was very apologetic and said he would work on a refund right away. Long story short after our banks couldn't get the refund to go through, Tim reimbursed me himself Such a stand up and cool guy. I highly recommend coming here to give this place a try. Seriously some of the best customer service I've ever had. Also, the space is cool and has a nice feel to it. read more

Pleasantly surprised! We sampled 4 beers and loved each one. We choose based on our tastes and tried each others. All were interesting and we were enjoyed the delicious flavors. Will definitely return. read more

Love breweries and just stumbled upon this one. Beer is really good. Music is horrible. Do we really really have to hear Journey again? So much great new underground cool music abounds. You can do better!! read more

This is a place I recommend anyone to try.The service is on point, hands down no complaints. I enjoyed myself and recommend anyone who is interested in great beer. read more

Great beer and a great place to catch a game. Love the fact there is always something different on tap.

YABO! Is the bomb if you like stout beers. It will set you back $8 a pint and 7.5% abv. I'm thinking they have a nice assortment of beers and will return. Thanks for all your hard work in yet another successful brewery in Milwaukee. read more

Beers were good, nice space. But we kept getting a musty smell.

A great selection of interesting tap beer, with the option to take some cans to go. Try a sample or order a flight. I liked corre corre and Ricky beers. But you can get a little sample before you try. There was some seating outside but seems like always a baseball game on inside. Dog friendly. Bartenders were very helpful and attentive on a Saturday afternoon. There are English dart boards in the corner and indoor whiffle ball field for rent so I will have to be back. And it might seem like a minor thing, but sound volume was perfect for background music. You could hear it and enjoy it, but still have a normal conversation without yelling. read more

Friendly staff and good beers. Highly recommend the Straight Chedd (apricot pale ale). Great spot on a Saturday afternoon to grab a beer while in the neighborhood or to watch a Brewers game. read more

Checked it out on the internet and walked in to find it much better. Great selection great service in an ecclect neighborhood. Even if you don't live for baseball, this is a great place to go. read more

We were a bit hesitant to visit Broken Bat because we're not really "sports people," but I'm so glad we did! The atmosphere is very relaxed and everything inside is tastefully done. Our bartender was one of the owners, and he was super friendly. We tried four of their beers and liked every single one, although the double IPA was especially delicious. We were able to bring our dogs, there was a young couple there with a baby, and an older couple who came just to watch the game. It's just a really chill, nice place with great beer. Everyone should check them out. read more

I've stopped in a couple times when visiting from out of town and have received friendly service and delicious beer. For only being open less than a year this spot seems established and like they know how to brew good beer. The theme is really unique and I like the large variety of beers they have. My favorite has been their Apricot pale and the imperial stout. read more

Friendly staff, fun atmosphere, and good beer! The apricot ale was delicious! The music is always good, and it's fun to go with a group of friends to play cards and hang out. read more

Beers average at best, probably a good little place to hang out with friends in this great city. This brewery won't be swallowed up by Miller. read more

Service was great and the staff was nice; however, all the beers had a bitter after taste. It ruined their taste of what otherwise I think would have been good local brews. read more

Always a favorite.. good beer and fun "cheers" feel. They will be moving out of the basement soon I hear. We had flights.. all were good .. full flavored and delicious. Love the area for walking around. read more

They know beer, they know baseball. Great guys run this brewery. Their Double Play IPA is a remarkable beer. Plenty of tasty original crafts to sample beyond it though. Great space and a perfect fit for the Third Ward. read more

Awesome new brewery! Had a flight and loved every beer. They have a bunch of games available behind the bar including cards against humanity and some other fun games! Bartenders were super friendly and fun!! read more

Some good brews. Love the beach ball pineapple milkshake IPA. Neat little spot in the basement of a building. No need for brewery tour here......you can see the whole brewery from your seat. read more

Great, baseball themed atmosphere with some of the best beers I've ever tasted. Staff is always friendly and helpful. A must hit every time I'm in Milwaukee read more

The place has a good vibe and a nice selection of beers. But when my husband and I went here on a recent Saturday, there were no fewer than 4 dogs inside. My husband is allergic to dogs and began sneezing uncontrollably. We had to leave after a quick beer. I realize people love their dogs but when dogs prevent other people from also enjoying a place, I think it's unfortunate. read more

Very good beers. The label art is fantastic. I recommend a flight. Friendly staff. Great beer selection.

Broken Bat is one of the best breweries in the city. Not only are the owners two great people, but the beer is amazing, too!

Upon entering the bar no one said hello or aknowledged us. I understand if it were busy but it was a Sunday late afternoon with 3 other people. Strike 1. We grabbed a table, which had a nice cool puddle of spilled beer all over it. Strike 2. No one came to see what we wanted to drink let alone wipe up the beer. After waiting 15 minutes we decided to head over to the bar to place an order. Strike 3. Beer was ok but nothing special. We stayed until close, tv's turned off no one said anything for last rounds, the waitstaff and bartenders just left...should of helped our selves to behind the bar! Go to the other fine establishments throughout milwaukee and be appreciated as a customer because there many broken things here. Game Over! read more
