Downtown Milwaukee bottle shops/tap selections

Rumpus Room is where you want to be downtown. They rarely update their tap list online, and it doesn't look that great now, but trust me, its been awesome every time I've been in there.

 

The sugar maple, and Burnhearts have fantastic tap selections.

 

Sugar Maple, Burnhearts, Palm. Search them on beermenus.

 

downtown has rumpus room and the cheese mart now has 30+ taps too. I can't think of a decent bottle shop strictly in the downtown area. if you are willing to travel a little outside there are lots of tap options in bay view and riverwest is really starting to get some great places too. Bottles are great at Ray's and Downer street which is a little closer.

 

A little on the expensive side, but Whole Foods on North Ave/ Prospect has a pretty decent selection. Only a couple blocks northeast, Downer Wine and Spirits also has an awesome selection. Get chatty with the guys there, it will pay off.

 

Forgot to mention....these are both stores. Stop at Stubby's for beer on tap. North Ave/ Humboldt area.

 

If possible, try to hit up Stubby's on Thursday night, I forget what time it starts (9pm? It used to start then..), but after that time all craft taps are 2-3 bucks off.

 

I would try to hit discount liquor on west Oklahoma if you can. It may not be that close to you but honestly its the best bottle shop around. I go there fairly often and I live 20 minutes north of milwakuee. Check out their webpage it will tell you the new things they will have each month.

 

Best bottle shop ever.

 

I think a trip to comet cafe is in order as well, just because it's comet cafe and it's awesome

 

Going to Comet on Saturday. Stoked.

 

And don't forget to Hit up George Webb for some Cheeseburgers and Chili after closing the bars.

 

For some Belgian beers on tap, try Cafe Hollander on Downer or Cafe Benelux in the Third Ward.

 

Haha gross. Pizza Shuttle delivers anything on their menu (including ice cream) until at least 3 am. Always a good option.

 

Webbs is gross and the Shuttle isn't? The best thing about Pizza Shuttle....they are open late.

OP, if you are going to Sugar Maple you could also try the food at HoneyPie. It is owned/ run by the same people as The Comet, has a fantastic beer menu, and is right in the heart of Bayview (2 blocks away from Burnhearts, which is a MUST visit).

 

Well, slightly less gross. And they deliver.
