Bar area surrounded by tables and other seating
Christine D.

This was an unusual visit, not as regular customers but attending a fundraiser for a local charity. Thank you for supporting The Women's Center! The regular menu is only beer/liquid; food can be purchased outside and brought in. (We got food from the food truck outside.) The atmosphere is nice looking and very minimalist in its decor. Bar seating and mismatched tables and chairs make it easy to combine tables for party sizes as needed. The noise level is extremely high with cement floors and no sound buffers. It was exhausting after a short time. And this may be the issue with the event, but the organization behind the bar was messy, and it was hard to get a drink quickly. I am not sure if the bartenders were "guest tenders" for the event so again, this may not be a true reflection of the business regularly. If you are a true beer lover, I am sure this place would be a good one to try. I am obviously not the demographic, but I appreciate a place for others who can find some fun.

New Waukesha Hotspot! The building itself is awesome, as a Waukesha native I've seen this location countless times but never knew what possibilities awaited. Hubby and I got the Recess Time and Family Function and both were very very good! The bar service was quick, friendly and they know how to pour their beers. I would highly recommend this brewery to anyone looking to try something new in the Waukesha and surrounding area. Bonus perk: there's some games around for you to enjoy (scrabble, ring toss) and plenty of tvs to catch the game. Bonus bonus perk: they're kid friendly with toys available to even keep your kiddos entertained while mom and dad enjoy a brew

Good brewery with some good beers. I think this was a place that fits into Waukesha well and compliments the downtown area well. I ordered Recess Time and it was delicious - they let me try a little bit of 2 different beers to figure out what I'd order. Parking was tricky and we got yelled at by security across the street to move our cars. Parking only seems to be allowed on the street or in the parking garage a little down the road. Would be a cool venue for an event. Big garage doors open and bring in a good flow of air. A couple of picnic tables and corn hole game outside.

I have been sleeping on this review because I wanted to go back a second time. My first trip was in…read moreNovember 2023 and my second time was last night. The place is veteran owned and has a military flare to the decor. For our area, this is welcome and we have nothing like it. They also frequently have live music, and I do love me some live music. The service has been great both time I was there. I sat at the bar the first time and a table the second...just to make sure the service was great in both locations! Of course bar service is always faster because you are right in front of them, but I will say I did not have to wait at any point to sit, order, or pay. They were friendly and genuinely wanted to make sure everything tasted as good as it looked. When I go to places that run specials I am voted less likely to order off the menu and I have stuck with that philosophy with SteelTank. The first time I had a steak and shrimp pasta. It was so good I could not stop eating it. I ate nearly all of it and had zero regrets, but I was happy I had a few bites left to enjoy the next day. Second stop, Sausage & Pepperoni stuffed Bavarian pretzel. This pizza of the week is delicious! The pretzel is cut in half and stuffed and not hollowed out as most places do. You can see from the pictures it is stuffed and you can taste the pizza. Greens with a pizza you say? YES! So good, the vinaigrette dressing that is on that pretty little salad is making my mouth water as I type! Specials were not mentioned either time I went. The specials are posted on Facebook and that is how I knew about SteelTank and what I should order. That would be my only complaint, when you receive a menu patrons should be told what the specials are - or - post it somewhere so people know.

Place is closed. Will they ever reopen? Too bad it was a local place we enjoyed. Sunday night pizza…read more& beer special, the concerts at Rally Point, three cheese appetizer....miss it.
