Cheese curds - really really good!!! Cheesy inside and crispy outside. Flavor is 😘. We devoured it. We ordered fish fry dinner - fluffy inside and crispy outside. We ordered their corn & clam chowder soup - they don’t skimp out on the clam chowder. Environment - really nice out to have with family or even as a date 😊

Local historic gem with good food. We just happened to stop over here during their Die Hard Christmas movie event and thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We ordered cheese curds Cobb salad and pot roast poutine all of which were really good. The cheese curds are probably the best in the state, and I don't say that lately. The poutine was a bit cold but sent it back to reheat and it was perfect after that. They also do tours here which are entertaining and facilitated by very talented staff. How can I forget about the beers... They have an extensive tap beer list to satisfy any beer lovers desires, and also have a full bar. Everything was reasonably priced and overall a great experience.

This is a Milwaukee classic. Food here is super on point. Some of the best cheese curds l've ever had! Huge space with bench seating so you'll likely have someone on the same table but it's not an issue. Can still get pretty packed. Right next to the river. If you're on a boat you can dock, get a beer, and head back out pretty quickly. I recommend doing the tour its worth $7 3 drinks and a awesome lake front beer cup! 100% recommend!

Great atmosphere with plenty of beer options and a decent size menu. The cheese curds were the best I’ve ever had! The only down side is parking. It took us 15 minutes to find street parking. I can’t imagine trying to park during peak times. Overall it was a great experience and highly recommend!

Lakefront Brewery is an absolute gem and such a fun experience from start to finish! The tour really showcases the history and heart of the brewery—you get to see the tanks up close and learn about the process, but it never feels boring. The guides keep it lively, funny, and full of personality. The nods to Milwaukee culture (like the Laverne & Shirley) make it feel extra special and unique to the city. The riverside patio is a highlight—it’s such a perfect spot to enjoy a fresh pint while watching the boats drift by. Inside, the atmosphere is just as memorable, with character-filled spaces covered in guest signatures and a cozy vibe that makes every corner feel like it has a story. And of course, the food and beer did not disappoint! The cheese curds were absolutely spot on—crispy, melty, and delicious with the dipping sauce. Pair that with one of their local brews and you’ve got a true taste of Milwaukee. What really sets Lakefront apart, though, is the staff. Everyone we encountered was friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do. If you’re in Milwaukee, Lakefront Brewery is a must. Between the history, the river views, the food and drinks, and the incredible staff, it’s the kind of place you’ll want to come back to again and
