What People Are Saying About Milwaukee Ale House

The Scene
A huge interior is divided into two spacious floors accented with low lighting and exposed brick. The downstairs holds a restaurant and stage with plenty of seating for dinner crowds and live-music audiences.
The Draw
Brewmaster Jim Olen ensures that Sheepshead Stout, Pull Chain Ale, Louie's Demise and the other beers produced at Milwaukee Ale House keep the good times rolling until closing time. There's swing dancing on Tuesdays. Wednesdays feature regional and national talent, such as guitar master Dana Robinson or Delta blues impresario Honey Boy Edwards. Friday evenings offer folk or jazz at 5:30pm, and a bigger band sound starting at 9:30pm, usually with the snazzy sounds of the 15-piece Swing Nouveau. Saturday lineups feature local favorites.

My husband and I meet here for a beer whenever possible. They make their own and anyone who goes here and wastes their time ordering a domestic is an idiot. Their beer is awesome, try a sampler if its your first time. The food isn't bad, but the beer is definately the strong spot.

Its cool, because it's a community staple. The owners have done a great job and it is always a solid place. I'm a huge fan. It' s great for lunch or for meeting groups out. Check it out in Milwaukee and their new junior resturant out in Grafton - very different type restaurants, same great beer.
