    Chucho's Red Tacos Food Truck- Ope! Brewing Co Red taco plate w/ birria beef + rice + beans + both red + green salsa Also tried the birria ramen which was actually better than I expected: super flavorful, spicy, and a huge portion My friend got the quesitaco and said it was fire too!! We both got the sangrias which were great and tied up the whole meal! 5/5 Loved the cozy vibe, firepit seating, and chill location def hits harder when it's cold out Check out @ratedbyaleena for the full review on Instagram!

    Great place for a drink! Super large space with a unique atmosphere that's also dog friendly! Only downside was parking. The lot isn't big enough to accommodate the large number of people there, so we had to park in a gravel lot behind the paved one.

    I would give this place 5/5 if they had more wine options. They have tons of beer obviously which my husband loves. We went to granny bingo on a Sunday afternoon and it was so fun! They had different food trucks which included a BBQ truck and a Mexican food truck. The wait line to get drinks was long. I wish they had servers to come around so you didnt have to wait in line. It is so cute because people bring their dogs and it is just a fun atmosphere.

    We were in town for Thanksgiving and needed to get out of the house, so we headed over to Ope! Plenty of parking available in attached lot! They don't serve food but Chucho's Red Taco truck seemed like a permanent food truck serving up Mexican and American classics. The interior of Ope is quite large and was perfect for our family of ten to hang out together. Fun and eclectic decorations fill out the space. Counter service was very fast and friendly! I had the "Can I Pet Your Dog?" which was their Amber ale! Perfect for fall, while being light enough to crush a few! Extra points for coming in a fun glass. I also tasted my partner's "Perfect Screwdriver" which was delicious, and I don't care for IPAs. A lovely orange juice-inspired beer with just a subtle hop kick at the end. We would definitely come back, especially during the summer to check out the patio!

    Fantastic hang out place and they allow dogs!!! Omg, I asked, can I pet your dog so many times, so fun!! Great selection of drinks with a wide range of places to sit inside and out. They also have an outdoor bar area with lots of different types of seating, some are covered. A large area to play bags/corn hole. Only wish they served food, they had food trucks on site-we didn't order from them though. Fun signs, merch and they host events like trivia.

    Absolutely love this place. Walking in, most of the time they have a live band cranking out great tunes, loud, but not too loud where it hurts your ears or your dogs. Awesome and huge beer selection on tap! This place is massive with an inside bar and outside bar, the outside also has multiple volleyball courts, people were playing bean bags, and i probably missed more. We sat outside the whole time listening to the band, in the sun, with dogs and people that were super friendly everywhere. Everything was clean as could be from the floors to the bathrooms. Food trucks were there with great tasting tacos and bbq as well! We drove over an hour away just to come, and can't wait to do it all over again.

    Love this place. One of our local hangouts with an amazing beer selection. The staff is great and very friendly. We aren't dog owners but this is a dog friendly brewery so we can get our fill of dogs while we're here. Red Taco is always onsite and offer a good selection of authentic Mexican food.

    This place has quickly become a West Allis establishment. Situated in an up and coming part of the city, right by the farmers market, Ope! is a great place to get good beer, enjoy a fantastic atmosphere, and even bring your favorite four-legged friend! Always fabulous service as well.

    Becky L.

    Had I known about the food truck beforehand, this would have been an even better visit. They have a great selection which includes a fair amount of IPAs. Prices are reasonable. The open space made it a little chilly so maybe layer up if you're coming in the winter months. Definitely plan on stopping back during a farmers market day to grab some brews and eat some tacos!

    Tl;dr Give me an awesome place where kids and dogs are welcome and you've got a regular in me! So my husband and I recently had twins and they're a little over a year old. Anything new parents can do to run and eat something great or drink something great outside of a "nap window" is a rare golden moment indeed. Ope Brewing has an amazing space and it's very openly accepting of real babies and fur babies. The place is always hopping and has their own lines of not just beer, but hard seltzers as well. Since it's colder and winter now, I definitely gravitate toward a dessert slow sipping type of beer, like the decadent Brown Chicken Brown Cow. My husband really liked A Stop and A Score which was an oatmeal porter with almond. Some beers are seasonal though, so you might as well check the website before you get sad if they're not still there. Also, all of the beer names are hilarious and always give a great nod to Wisconsin - I mean even the bar name itself is perfect, if you haven't awkwardly ran into a coworker or stranger in a hallway or aisle and haven't given an "OPE" then what are you doing here? They are always running fun specialities, whether that's trivia or special holiday-related events, the stage is always empty when I'm there, but I know they must have some fun shows! You'll probably find me there on Sundays between 4-6ish chasing around one to two toddlers while REALLY enjoying a beer. Cheers!

    Have admired Ope's beer wherever I've had them and loved my visit to their taproom this past summer. It's large, with lots of space, and dog friendly. There happened to be a gaming tournament going on that afternoon and what a great thing to have in the taproom, building community. Kudos to Ope! who recently won many awards for their seltzers. I can't wait to get back here to try those and their wonderful beer. Ope! I'll just leave this review here, if you don't mind.

    One of my absolute favorite places to go for any occasion. The space is expansive with both a large indoor seating area and outside space. They also have a ton of events happening and have board games, outdoor games, and volleyball nets. Their beer/seltzer/cider selection is robust with a delicious option for everyone. They are also super dog friendly. My sweet 16 year old dog just won their dog of the month contest! They allow outside food and have food trucks available outside for food purchase. I can't recommend this brewery enough.

    First off, if you are not a fan of dogs, you probably want to stay away because it's a very dog friendly establishment. The day I came there was a rescue group there promoting their dogs. In fact they even have a beer called 'Can I Pet Your Dog?' Overall, the place is huge. Many different seating areas, nice patio, space for bags and volleyball and more! The beer is really good also! Also- the bar manager Ali is fantastic!

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. I was disappointed to learn that they don't make their special flavored cheese curds on Fridays, but the regular ones were just fine and enough for our table to share. 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. In terms of food, they have snacks available, think pretzels and popcorn all the time; and a third party vendor available the rest of the time.

They have a couple of different areas, and the one towards the back had a private event (birthday party). To me it feels more like the name, a Taproom with a Kitchen. It has a good selection of adult beverages and a small, but decent selection of food. The menus are all online, and you go to the bar to order (they have servers to bring you the food). Got a round of drinks (Sangria, Marguaritas, and Old Fashioned). They were all good. For food, we started with an order of the Cheese Curds. They came out hot, with the chili honey sauce drizzled on top, with a side of ranch. They were good, but could have benefited from being cooked longer (some were soggy or cheese not melted). For our dinners, we ordered the Shrimp tacos, Brisket tacos, Veggie Quesadilla, and the Hamburger. Everybody was satisfied, but nobody was all that excited. My Shrimp tacos were just okay. The flour tortillas tops were hard and the lower parts soft (as if they might have been sitting under a heat lamp. The pico de gallo was okay, but it had jalapenos, and I didn't think to ask. (But easy enough to pick out). The whole plate seemed a little thrown together. The burger was the best of the entrees that we ordered. For service, you need to go up and order. It took a while to get someone's attention, but in taking the order, they were friendly and helpful. The food took a reasonable amount of time, but during the meal nobody stopped back to ask how things are. Maybe because we didn't have an actual "server" we were left on our own. It was an okay experience, but not a place that I would see us coming back to.
