Editorial Review for Brew City Barbeque – by CL Speering
In Short
The atmosphere is festive inside this bustling warehouse-style joint. Tiffany-like chandeliers hang from a lofty ceiling and vintage beer signs highlight the eclectic decor. The large bar area, featuring nine TVs tuned to local sports events, is typically packed with loyal patrons who come for the food and stay for the social pub atmosphere. The kitchen serves up Southern-style smokehouse favorites like gooey baby back ribs, tender rotisserie chicken and juicy prime rib.

Brew City has always been a favorite of ours, so we tried the new location, May 20th. The warm, inviting, fun atmosphere from the old location was replaced by a pristine, cold, bright, snooty atmosphere. The menu has changed, before diners could get an assorted platter of the bar-be-que meats. Remember Brew City is a bar-be-que restaurant, well not anymore, you don't even get bar-be-que sauce with your meals. You get 'AUS JUS' with brisket?? And, the brisket was absolutely all 'fat'-awful! Also, a 'bar-be-que' place should have good ribs, too. No the ribs were dry and bland and for the 'meal' you got about 5 or 6 ribs. A rib meal is a slab, unless otherwise stated. Needless to say, that will be the last time my family goes to Brew City. Once again, the old saying goes, "If It's Not Broken, Don't Fix It!"

when the table get pulled to make the dance floor this great restruant turns in to a great bar scene, with its outdoor beer garden and street vender like outdoor bar its a lot of fun. And the noon lunches are great, sit outside if the weather is nice and go back at night to see a great Milwaukee bar.
Pros: location, foods great
Cons: parking
