We don't have too many brewpubs in MKE unfortunately. The Ale House is probably the best bet. There is Rockbottom Brewery, but it's a chain and isn't anything special. If it were me, I'd go somewhere with excellent food and good beers on tap. Rumpus Room would be my first choice.
Kitchen Hours: Mon-Thurs: 4:00pm - 10:00pm Fri & Sat: 4:00pm - Midnight Sunday: 4:00pm - 9:00pm Grab & Go Hours: Mon-Fri: 11:00am - 2:00pm Bar Hours: Mon-Thurs: 4:00pm - Midnight Fri & Sat: 4:00pm - 1:00am Sunday: 4:00pm - 10:00pm
This is horribly confusing. Presumably, the kitchen and the bar aren't open until 4pm, but they have "Grab & Go" from 11am-2pm. What the hell does "Grab & Go" mean? Am I allowed to eat there, or am I required to "go?"
Aw shitty. I could have sworn I'd been in there for lunch and a couple beers (I lived downtown when I was in college). I must have been thinking about happy hour. Or maybe the hours changed at some point.
Thanks Team Midwest. I ended up just getting a sausage at Tenuta's in Kenosha and raiding their selection of crap we can't buy in Chicago. Appreciate the help!
