Milwaukee Recommendations Needed

Will you have a car or do you mean within walking distance?

 

Discount Liquor, Palm Tavern, Sugar Maple, Burnhearts, Stuby's, Roman's, Milwaukee Ale House, Benelux.

 

This usually helps.

Basically what I was going to recommend, for the most part. I would suggest going to Stubby's on a Thursday, $2 ($3? I forget right now...) off craft taps. The crowd there is usually the younger college aged crowd, but I've never really been bothered by it, always find a table to sit at.

 

or the firkin friday

 

Check out Rumpus Room. They are supposed to have a pretty decent tap list and some good food.

If you have a car Discount Liquor on Oklahoma is your best choice for a bottle shop. Crossovert covered best bars with Burnhearts, Roman's and Sugar Maple. Tons of possibilities for food. If you want pub food and beer together in one place check out Hooligan's, Cafe Centraal, Milwaukee Ale House, Water Street Brewery, Sobelman's, etc etc. Steaks: Five O'Clock Steakhouse

 

For bottles I would go the Three Cellars over Discount. I know they are one of our accounts but we chose Three Cellars because they do a great job. Sugar Maple and Roman's are also great choices - in fact the whole Bay View area is great.

 

I was just there for lunch today. Nice beer selection and the food is pretty good, too. The Thursday night deal is basically $3 off any craft tap, which means a lot of nice choices from $2-5 with the discount

 

For great food and an amazing wine list check out capital grille downtown on 4th and Wisconsin. In terms of beer bars stubbys is a great choice on the eastside. Sugar maple and Romans are excellent but a bit farther away in the bay view neighborhood. For bottle shops you can't miss discount liquor in west allis. Three cellars is nice but doesn't come close in terms of selection. Groppi's is a small high end grocery store in bayview that has an eunice selection and also a few taps.

 

Why wouldn't you have disclosed that in the beginning?... then everyone wouldn't have wasted their time telling you to go to Discount and the other places. If you want to know about new places ask for recommendations for new places.


The problem with Discount is that you are from Chicago. You are probably used to shopping at Binny's and WLV. When you go to Discount you are looking a very similar distribution, plus a lot of big names like Firestone Walker and 50/50 don't distribute in WI. Discount has a better selection of imports than Binny's but is probably inferior to WLV. If something gets distributed to WI, Discount will most likely have it. It is the best store in MKE and probably the state.

 

Hopleaf & Map Room are shitty? Discount is "a huge disappointment"?
Prepare to be disappointed by just about anywhere else in the midwest then.

Check out beerfly and see if there's any new names on the list.

 

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

 

Thank you for quoting my favorite line of that movie.

 

if you count the skus at discount it isn't that far from a typical binnys and probably more than some, def more than somehting like WLV, of course there are some like the lincoln park one that have a ridiculous selection.
