Award-winning brewery with tours, fish fry, polka & the best cheese curds
"A brewery and beer-hall destination that serves Friday fried-cod and walleye dishes accompanied by a polka band and house Dive Beer lagers, combining casual dining, live music, and brewery-focused hospitality." - Elaine Glusac
"Lakefront was born in 1987, but it somehow feels older, like it has simply always been a part of the fabric of the city. After the big boys that made Milwaukee famous, and before the boom of third-wave craft brewers sprouting up in the past decade, Lakefront was the most ubiquitous local beer of area bars and liquor stores. Nowadays youâre not really a Milwaukeean until youâve taken one of the breweryâs famous tours or stopped by the live polka-fueled Friday fish fry. To keep relevant in a hypercompetitive brewing scene, the brewery keeps things fresh with stunts like âcurdsday,â romantic private chalet dinners overlooking the fermentation cellar, and mini heated greenhouses on the riverfront." - Todd Lazarski
"A brewery widely praised for pairing beer with some of the cityâs best cheese curds, often cited as a go-to place for quintessential Wisconsin bites." - Eater Staff
"Offers lager that pairs well with the sausages from Vanguard."
"At Lakefront Brewery thereâs a beer aiming for dough and pieâfilling flavors, and I conceded thereâs a slim possibility it might not be too badâsimilar to how Lift Bridgeâs miniâdonut beer pulled off a hailâMary mix of sweet and beerâbut I advised proceeding with caution. 4.7% ABV." - Joy Summers
