Restaurants in Milwaukee, WI

Beer, of course, is a big deal in the city that’s been home to Blatz, Pabst Schlitz, and Miller. Artisan breweries now abound, too. Milwaukee also is proud of its creamy custard and butter burgers — Wisconsin IS the Dairy State! — as well as authentic ethnic food from around the world. It is a great corned beef city; for the ultimate in hash, Reubens, and corned beef with cabbage, the neighborhood bar called McBob’s can’t be beat. McBob’s also hosts a fabulous Friday night fish fry — a ritual that is a big deal in virtually every Milwaukee restaurant, from corner tavern to the stadium-sized Serb Hall and the Pottawatomie casino.
