It was packed on a nice summer Saturday with food trucks and everyone enjoying their huge patio with plenty of lawn games and board games. We decided to sit inside the tap room which offers such a large variety of seating styles for everyone to enjoy and making it a great place to meet up with friends. We also enjoyed both their N/A and draft options as they offer such a large variety with options for everyone.

I was looking for a good brewery to try in the city and stumbled across Pilot Project. With a great…read moreselection of brews and delicious food, this absolutely fit the bill. It was a little industrial with a lot of seating, so this is a good spot to balance getting those fun going-out vibes with actually securing a seat. There seemed to be something for everyone on the menu, and they had a lot of collabs with other businesses. We opted for two different IPAs that were both delicious. For food, we split the cheese curds, hummus, and BBQ pork Mac and cheese. The cheese curds were extra crispy and I loved the garlic Parmesan seasoning. The chive crema served alongside was herby, creamy, and unique, giving a refreshing contrast. I enjoyed the selection of veggies with the hummus and the grilled garlic naan was delicious, though the hummus itself did taste just like the Sabra red pepper kind that you could buy in a store. However, the Mac and cheese absolutely stole the show- it was decadently cheesy with a wonderful white cheddar sauce, and the pork itself was slightly sweet and super tender. The scallions and jalapeños completed the picture perfectly. Would definitely recommend ordering this. The bartender taking our orders was also super nice and even brought a complimentary pour due to the wait for the second round, which we'd not mentioned at all. Overall, we had a great experience and would absolutely return next time we're in the area!

Good vibes, good beer offerings, and great company!…read more I came by after enjoying happy hour at a nearby restaurant and wanted to cap off the evening with some beer. When I walked in, I noticed that there was limited seating but there was some space at the bar. I genuinely appreciated that there was both printed menus as well as a handwritten one. There was a good variety of beers, seltzers and draft cocktails. I landed on enjoying an Oktoberfest beer and it was super drinkable. Although I was there alone, I appreciated that there weren't a ton of TVs. There's also a back patio that would be awesome for the warmer weather. The staff engaged with me as well as other customers and I was left feeling comfortable. Whenever I'm back in the area, I'm sure I'll find myself at one of the bar stools.

This place is definitely a really unique brewery given that its in a dive bar. You can see the beer tanks right from the bar/tables. They have small batch beers to choose from, and if you finish the batch, your name goes on the board on their wall! For the food, the burgers were great and the fries were even better! They're homemade and I would go back just for a basket of those fries. Their cheese curds were also delicious. We ordered a pickled egg because if that's listed on the menu we had to try one. We loved the staff. Very down to earth and fun to talk to. We even got complimentary key lime pie shots, which they make in house, and they were so good we ordered another round.

Will definitely be back.

Unfortunately, by the time I started drinking it, the temperature was just a bit cooler than I prefer. I like my hot drinks to be at least 130°F. There wasn't much in the way of pastries or Danish that day, so I skipped having something to go with my tea. Service: Friendly and helpful service at the counter. Atmosphere: The café was about half full, with people quietly working on laptops or enjoying conversations with friends. Sugar, the shop cat, was wandering around as usual, and this time I was able to spend a little quality time with her. She's getting older and seems a bit frail, but she really enjoyed a good scratching under the chin. Another enjoyable visit, and a place I'd return to.

Well on our last night we decided to give it a go again. My coworker ordered food ahead of me as I went to the beer bar. He said the gal that took his order was extremely rude, I shrugged it off. Went ahead to the food counter and I got a different gal. Not even 10 minutes later my coworker and his wife had their food. Me and my girl patiently sat waiting, ordered the sausage flight. About 20 minutes later I finally walked up to the food counter and happened to ask the "rude" employee about my food. Now I saw what my coworker was talking about. Few minutes later she came out and said there was already an order for this table... ya because there is 2 different parties. Finally she brought our food out which was wrong.... And was absolutely the rudest food service person I've ever seen. Talked with a manager which I never do this and he at least comped the food. Long story short, you're in the food service industry, be nice to people. We came to have a good time and she pretty much ruined it. Besides her rudeness everything was awesome and if I'm ever back in Milwaukee I will go back

We had a spectacular Friday evening at LB…read more I had a feeling this place was special when I was researching places to go to during our trip to Milwaukee. I was completely sold when I found out they had a vegan version of the fish fry. It worked perfectly for our Thursday to Saturday trip to MKE. I reserved a table for 6pm. We were seated at a high top with a little "reserved" card so we felt important. Our server was so nice and friendly. She came over before we were even ready to order. It didn't take long for us to figure it out because there were a few obvious choices: CHEESE CURDS and what we came for, the fucking fish fry. I ordered the plant based one, GF the walleye. I was going to get one of their beers but the root beer old fashioned caught my attention immediately. Old fashioneds are typically too adult-tasting for me but I thought I might be able to handle it. It was. DELICIOUS. What a great twist on an old fashioned. There must have been a hole in the bottom of my glass because that shit was gone before I knew it. The cheese curds were, hands down, the best cheese curds I have ever had in my life and possibly one of the best things I have ever consumed period. Holy shit. Would it be inappropriate to have 2 orders? The plant based fish fry was also impressive considering that it wasn't fish. I loved it and I loved being able to participate in something like that. GF's fish fry was "really good". There was also a polka band which was fucking adorable. Supposedly they have done it every Friday for 25 years and that is just too precious. It seems like a must do while in Milwaukee.
