Things to Do
Milwaukee Art Museum
Shaped like a seagull and holds a lot of art. We also got engaged here!
Milwaukee Public Market
Can't decide what you want, but you know you might want beer, cheese, wine, chocolate, mediterranean food, coffee, spices, sushi, or seafood? This is the place for you.
Milwaukee Public Museum
Want to see dinosaurs? Or walk through a recreation of what Milwaukee used to look like? Or just want to be around some butterflies? Visit the Milwaukee Public Museum!
Milwaukee County Zoo
Much like other zoos, this one has plenty of animals to see. The only difference being that this one's in Milwaukee.
Discovery World
A world of wonder at your finger tips! Or maybe not, I've never been. But it's a great activity for kids and families alike.
Milwaukee Riverwalk District
Want to do something without actually doing anything? Milwaukee's RiverWalk follows the river through downtown with access to many different bars and restaurants along the way.
Bradford Beach
Obviously, if you haven't come to Milwaukee for a wedding, you've come for the beautiful beaches and endless warm weather. This beach has everything from water to sand to a ton of volleyball courts.
Sobelmans on St. Paul
There are several locations for this Milwaukee burger institution, but this is the original. You might know them from the time they lost to AJ Bombers on Food Wars, or you may have come to Milwaukee looking for a pitcher of Bloody Mary's topped with a whole fried chicken. Either way, this place is good for a burger, a bloody, and a beer.
Bavette La Boucherie
Gosh darn outstanding food here. Sandwiches, meat, pickled things, and jams galore.
Amilinda
Excellent tapas. So excellent that I took Megan here after I proposed to her.
Milwaukee Brewing Company
Excellent local brewery with fun souvenir glasses. They offer 2 hour tours with no drink limit (but buy tickets in advance)! They do not offer food.
Lakefront Brewery
Good brewery, excellent tour. With a tour you get 2 drink tickets and you can buy more. They also serve food, which includes what might be the best cheese curds in town.
Miller Brewery Tour
Plenty of better breweries in Milwaukee, but none have the popularity and history of Miller. Tour comes with 2 drink tickets for mediocre beer and a visit from a ghost.
Good City Brewing
Sit down brewpub with what might be the best scotch ale I've had (so get it if it's on tap). No tours, but very good food, good beer, and outdoor seating.
Black Husky Brewing
One of the better breweries in Milwaukee in spite of its size. Has outdoor seating, a food truck or stand, and is dog friendly.
Gathering Place Brewing Company
This one's a little hard to find, but definitely worth the effort. One of the brewers is someone I used to work with, a Marquette trained economist with a full beard.
Broken Bat Brewing Co.
An honest-to-goodness Brewers bar with great beer brewed on site. Also, if you're a loud Cubs fan, this place affords you the opportunity to make a lot of people mad at you in a short amount of time!
City Lights Brewing Co.
They just remodeled, and they also have great beer. Great space for a party.
