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.

But parking is paid parking on the street, with spots hard to find. Once the parking situation is resolved, things are great. The vibes inside was awesome - very open, with lots of seating. There seems to be tons of seating options, and outdoor seating as well for when the days are warmer. And for a brewery, the most important thing? The beer, of course! And it was good. We've had their beer before and have always like them. It was great getting some more on draft. Agro pop IPA Yummy!! Panther pale ale OK, but not my fave. I wouldn't get it again. Cheese curds $14 These were delicious, but it did get salty after munching through the plate. We were limiting ourselves to just one drink, and needed more drinks or another food item to mediate our tastebuds. I'd order again with a proper meal or with more booze. Service was super nice, though not quite polished, which I don't mind at all. Points for a nice smilze!

My chicken pesto melt was super flavorful and felt light since the chicken was grilled and the focaccia bun was nice and soft. Fries were average bar fries. David's chicken sandwich was huge!

Service was great!

It has…read morebeen on my hit list ever since I picked up a pack of their barrel scotch ale previously; and this stop did not disappoint. My man Colin was a super gracious host and basically gave us the VIP experience. Located in a gorgeous former church smack dab next to Pabst and the original grain silos that you can totally see right outside the windows from the bar. 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. My personal faves, the barrel scotch ale and the northern rivals barrel barley wine beer. If you appreciate good craft beer and have not hit Central Waters as of yet, put it on your hit list and make a day, and/or, weekend of it in MKE.

My husband and I went here while we were in the area. We sat at the bar which was fun to talk to…read morethe bartenders. We enjoyed tasting several of the beers. We each ordered a flight of tasters. My husband favorite was the Rift IPA. Mine was either the After Slice or the Honey Blonde Ale. With the After Slice you could definitely taste the citrus in it. I also tried the Bourbon Barrel Tiramisu which was pretty rich and would be good as a dessert beer. We also ordered food, which you place in the back corner of the room. Wow! Everything we ordered for dinner was amazing. I ordered 2 fish tacos with a side of the brussel sprouts. We ordered a thing of street corn to share. My husband ordered the rice bowl with pork. He said it was good but the meat wasn't very tender.

I love Explorium at Southridge, I love it even more in the Third Ward!…read more Stopped by here for the first time for beer and pub grub on a Friday night. We made reservations but would have been easily seated without them. We started with a beer order (of course). I'm such a fan of Explorium beers. I got their peanut butter stout and loved it. If you're a porter and stout fan, their stout list is much more robust than many breweries. And, all that we've tried have been pitch perfect. For my dinner, I got their caesar salad with blackened chicken. The chicken is super flavorful with a nice heat. Their caesar has additions that I don't normally dig on my caesar (kalamatas, tomatoes) but here? I love it. It came perfectly dressed and was absolutely delicious. After dinner, my dining companion and I ordered their 'perfect manhattan' which was deliciously well made and well named. We enjoyed it over a game of cribbage. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable and the service was spot on. Get to it!

Representing 2021 in alphabet series, I is for Indeed Brewing. In September 2021, my friend & I…read morewere on vacation in Chicago & Milwaukee. On that Friday, we drove up from Chicago, checked into hotel, & went to the Brewers game. The next day I was trying to find out Millers brew tours (even though I don't like their beer, but it's an iconic large American brand), but they didn't do the tours anymore. I think they may have stopped them when Covid happened, never brought them back or at least at that point. I was searching online & calling around as I thought it'd be cool to do some brewing tour, and places said no. Finally, Indeed Brewing said come on down, we will give you a tour. Speaking of I is for Indeed, I was at I for an Industrial museum, well various art about people at work called Grohmann Museum, and I had dropped my friend off at the Science Museum. I called him and said I found a brew tour. We both enthusiastically went over to Indeed. The owner gave us a tour of the various. He told us to wait as he was busy, pretty busy on that Saturday afternoon, go get yourself a beer. Wow, great beer! The tour was informative. My friend got a 2nd beer. I'm a bit slower of a drinker. After his 2nd beer, he was buzzed and said I know it's going to sound crazy and that I would probably say no, but wanna go to the Brewers game again? I'd say the baseball game again was the beer talking, but he loves baseball, so I'm sure he would've said that anyway. I said Brewers were my favorite between going to White Sox on Wednesday, Cubs on Thursday, & Brewers on Friday, but I don't wanna go to baseball game for the 4th night in a row, and there was more I wanted to explore in Milwaukee. We were going to be leaving the next morning to take a side trip to Madison and then leave from O'Hare later in the afternoon. Incidentally, while I enjoyed Milwaukee on my own that night, I missed a great game as Brewers pitcher Adrian Houser threw a complete game-shutout! No way of knowing. And the night before Cardinals slaughtered Brewers 15-4. So, I went to the wrong game, but I had a lot of fun. In summary, Indeed Brewing was a great memory of the tour, great beer, nice owner, & nice crew. If I'm ever in Milwaukee again, I'd revisit Indeed.

Great happy hour and espresso martini choice!…read more We decided to try this place one afternoon as we always passed it walking through third ward. This place is known for their craft cocktails and craft beer. Unfortunately, when we went they didn't have any of their beer on tap and were a little short staffed for the night. The team and bartenders their did do a great job with recommendations and helping us navigate the menu. They also specialize in unique twists on espresso martinis which my wife and I enjoyed. This place also brings in some live music from time to time with a real moody date night ambience for you to enjoy. I also would say they also often times offer specials on these so check their social media and you can sometimes score $7 espresso martinis.
