➞ We acknowledge in Milwaukee that we are on traditional Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk and Menominee homeland along the southwest shores of Michigami, North America’s largest system of freshwater lakes, where the Milwaukee, Menominee and Kinnickinnic rivers meet and the people of Wisconsin’s sovereign Anishinaabe, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Oneida and Mohican nations remain present. Whether you’re a resident or a visitor, we encourage you to learn about and celebrate the history and culture of Milwaukee’s tribal communities at visitmilwaukee.org/NativeAmericanCulture

Welcome to Milwaukee!

Good things are brewing in Milwaukee and the future has never looked brighter.

Whether you’re arriving in our city for the first time or a lifetime, I invite you to experience everything that makes it special. From the world’s largest music festival Summerfest to the world's only Harley-Davidson Museum, and from Sculpture Milwaukee’s free, public art exhibition to our award-winning dining scene, there’s something for everyone. But what makes our city truly distinctive are our richly diverse people and the warm and welcoming culture they've created. I hope you feel that culture reflected in every interaction during your stay.

To enhance your Milwaukee experience, we encourage you to take advantage of the tools VISIT Milwaukee offers including this guide, the visitors map, our deals passes, and visitmilwaukee.org for hundreds of additional ideas.

Modern Leases on Historic Architecture

➞ Milwaukeeans know to never let a good thing go to waste, and that philosophy definitely extends to our architectural treasures. Stroll through the city and you’ll find dozens of examples of old-school buildings now repurposed and brimming with modern-day life.

There’s no better example of this approach than the Brewery District. Once home to the Pabst Brewery, the seven-block area was abandoned when Pabst closed in 1996. In 2006, local philanthropist Joseph J. Zilber purchased the site, sparking

its transformation into a bustling neighborhood while simultaneously preserving its historic architecture. Head there for highlights like new craft brewery Pilot Project as well as the Best Place Café & Spirits, the Brewhouse Inn & Suites, and socially conscious collaborative workplace Nō Studios

The Mackie Building is an ode to history in a couple of ways. It was built in 1876 to serve the city’s grain exchange and Chamber of Commerce, and it became an international focal point of trading and exporting wheat. Today, it

414 You Have My Heart

houses Historic Milwaukee, where you can register for tours of the city, as well as the Swingin’ Door Exchange Saloon & Eatery, where you can relax before or after those tours.

The Pritzlaff Building is actually a complex of several buildings that date back to 1875 and showcase striking examples of open timber beams and Milwaukee’s iconic cream city brick. Originally home to the John Pritzlaff Hardware Company, once one of country’s largest such businesses, the Pritzlaff now hosts popular nightlight spots like Italian restaurant Aperitivo and the Explorium Brewpub.

Finally, for the perfect combination of history, picturesque views and a great cup of coffee, visit Colectivo Lakefront. Sip your coffee on the patio while gazing out on Lake Michigan. But make sure you spend time inside exploring homages to the building’s origins as the Milwaukee River Flushing Station, which dates to 1888.

➞ April 14 has a special place in the hearts of locals throughout the Milwaukee area. Mirroring the city’s area code, 414 Day has become a citywide reason celebrating the many things that make Brew City unique. Grace Weber - Milwaukee's own grammy winning singer, songwriter, and producer - marked the occasion last year by releasing an energetic anthem that embraces her roots and champions the city where she grew up. “414 (feat. Mudy)” is Grace’s love letter to Milwaukee that shares some of the places and experiences that have helped shape her life and music. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a lifelong Milwaukeean, the anthem will have you singing, “414, you have my heart.”Catch her heartfelt tribute to the Cream City at visitmilwaukee. org/414pride and stream the song wherever you get your music.

A Love of Nature

➞ There’s a reason Milwaukee is known as the Good Land. Sometimes, you can’t miss our natural beauty, like when you’re staring out at a sparkling Lake Michigan. Other times, it sneaks up on you, like when you’re walking along a quiet forest trail. Here are just a few places to focus on your natural surroundings.

The Schlitz Audubon Nature Center hugs Lake Michigan’s shore, offering 185 acres of wetlands, forest, and restored prairie to explore. It’s also a bird-viewing paradise, with more than 250 different species sighted there since 1974. The center even provides a home to 15 raptors - including eagles, hawks, owls, and falcons - as part of an educational program.

With outposts at Riverside Park, Washington Park, and the Menomonee Valley, the Urban Ecology Center’s goal is to simply get more people outside more often. They teach hands-on classes about science, nature, and sustainability. They organize volunteer cleanup and restoration projects. The center even loans out equipment, such as canoes, kayaks, bicycles, and winter gear.

The Wehr Nature Center features 220 acres of natural beauty in Whitnall Park. The nature preserve and education center is open year-round, and you can walk more than 5 miles of trails around Mallard Lake and through savanna, woodlands, and wetlands.

A TEENAGE DREAMLAND

We can’t promise you’ll find a permanent remedy for teenage angst in Milwaukee. But a temporary reprieve? Yeah, we’ve got that covered. Whether you’re looking for ways to get teens moving, get them thinking, or get them playing, you’ll have plenty of options. You might even hear a few enthusiastic mumbles, which we’re pretty sure is teen-speak for “thanks.”

Rare is the teen who says no to an arcade. And with CARCADE, the mobile arcade comes to you, allowing up to eight people to play to their heart’s content on bigscreen, HD displays. RSVR in Bay View takes things to the next level with more than 80 virtual reality experiences, including games, sports, or just a mesmerizing frontrow seat at the bottom of the

ocean. For a more traditional arcade experience, fans of Dave & Buster's can head for the Milwaukee-area location in Wauwatosa.

Maybe you want to knock down some pins in one of the world’s most storied bowling cities? You’ve got lots of choices, including JB’s on 41, a staple on Milwaukee’s south side that has dozens of lanes, TVs, and atmospheric lights. Punch Bowl Social is in the heart of the Deer District and offers shuffleboard, karaoke, and bocce in addition to bowling. At Whirlyball in Brookfield, compete in an eccentric, one-of-akind hybrid sport blending elements from lacrosse, basketball, and bumper cars.

If speed’s the thing, check out Accelerate Indoor Speedway, where jackrabbit-

fast go karts are the main attraction, along with a side of axe throwing and virtual reality. Axe-throwing also shares center stage with oldschool shuffleboard courts at the NorthSouth Club in the Third Ward. Or pick up a microphone at Amped, where you can rent karaoke suites in downtown Milwaukee.

For more of a mental workout, try one of Milwaukee’s many escape rooms, like Save Milwaukee in the Third Ward, where you have 60 minutes to, yes, solve the mystery and

save our fair city. Or head to Discovery World, the science and technology center with a large aquarium and exhibits dedicated to physics, engineering, and the environment, among many others.

And if that teen angst is still a problem, maybe just lean into it with a trip to Bust-N-Stuff in Bay View. Take some swings and break a wide variety of items that they line up for you. Some packages even include glasses filled with paint, so you can literally smash your way to a work of art.

Just Playing Around

➞ So the kids have more energy than you know what to do with. Good thing Milwaukee’s indoor and outdoor playgrounds are here to run, slide, bounce, and climb to the rescue. Some even come with views that are sure to recharge those drained parental batteries.

The Northwestern Mutual Community Park sits in the heart of the Summerfest grounds along the Lake Michigan shore. The wheelchair-accessible playground is built on a soft surface and has a designated toddler area in addition to sensory rooms for children who might need a calmer environment. It’s open year-round, regardless of festival schedule, subject to weather conditions.

Harbor View Plaza hugs the edge of Lake Michigan in front of UW-Milwaukee’s School of Freshwater Sciences. Climb to the top of its lookout tower for a sweeping vista of Port Milwaukee, downtown Milwaukee, and miles of lakeshore. Kids will love the tower’s tall, corkscrew slide, and they can make their own tiny stream by pumping water into a miniature creek bed.

Cathedral Square Park in downtown Milwaukee is directly accessible via The Hop streetcar, making it a convenient respite from a busy day in the city. Its soft-surfaced playground includes a swing set and musical instruments, as well as plenty of greenspace for running around.

The expansive, fully inclusive and accessible Kayla’s Playground is nestled in the southwest Milwaukee suburb of Franklin. You’ll find swings, slides, and

climbing equipment galore, as well as picnic tables, a pavilion, and trails for exploring the natural beauty of Franklin Woods.

Adventure Rock caters to rock climbers of all abilities, even those with no experience at all. They are completely kid-friendly, and you can rent whatever gear you need. The North Avenue and Brookfield gyms have soaring roped, autobelay routes ranging in difficulty from beginner to Spider-Man. The Walker’s Point location is specifically for shorter bouldering climbs.

You could easily spend an entire day at Bounce Milwaukee’s indoor amusement center. Kids will love jumping and sliding in the giant inflatables, getting in a game of laser tag, or scaling the rock climbing wall, among other activities. Parents can kick back in one of the massage chairs or connect with their inner lumberjack at the axe-tossing cages. You’ll also find video games, pinball machines, foosball, and air hockey, as well as a fullservice restaurant and bar.

➞ David Caruso, the host of “Good Things Brewing,” hears time and again how people who experience Milwaukee find it an unforgettable experience. “Visitors, touring performers, and new businesses confirm that the people of Milwaukee made a powerful, lasting impression.” Caruso said. “Without the kindness and amiability of its people, Milwaukee wouldn’t be nearly as popular among travel writers, convention-goers, and real estate developers.”

He looks forward to sharing Milwaukee’s hidden gems – restaurants and attractions, neighborhoods and businesses, and the people behind them all - with wider audiences. “I love that Milwaukee is always looking for new ways to celebrate our diversity, culture, and talent,” Caruso said. “It's a place where people can realize their dreams and create a lifestyle that's rich in friends, activities, work, and prosperity.”

“I love how Milwaukee has embraced public art into its landscape and fabric,” Ramirez said. “It shows how everything is so interconnected. For instance, sports support the arts, and the arts support community storytelling.”

Such stories can spring from anyone and anywhere, Ramirez said, whether out at a game or on a stool at the corner bars that reflect the city’s many neighborhoods. “Genuine conversations are naturally started without it being weird or odd,” he said, “and that’s something that you just can’t find anywhere else.”

➞ Mexico native Sandra Dempsey moved to Milwaukee in 2002, and the media professional marvels at the amount of transformation she’s seen the city undergo since then. “There is a feeling of freedom and openness to start and try new things,” Dempsey said. “This translates into individual confidence when creating, innovating and offering the community new products, services, and experiences.” She thinks Milwaukee excels at finding the delicate balance between embarking on new developments and retaining what makes it such a special place. “Growing and evolving comes with challenges and rewards, so it’s important to preserve what has made us stand out,” Dempsey said, “and continue to have the vision to be a top city to work and play.”

JESUS GONZALEZ CHEF AND ENTREPRENEUR, ZÓCALO FOOD TRUCK PARK

➞ First-generation Mexican American Jesus Gonzalez and business partner Sean Phelan transformed an empty gravel lot into Zócalo Food Truck Park, the first of its kind in Milwaukee. Its blend of street food and diverse culinary culture makes it one of the most popular attractions in Walker's Point.

Gonzalez believes Milwaukee’s character stems from the hardworking immigrants who built the city and how residents welcome visitors into their neighborhoods. Out-of-town friends often tell him that Milwaukee feels like a warm hug.

“This warmness is evident in the creative and small business community,” Gonzalez said. “They are proud of the spaces they’ve created, are willing to share their struggles and success, and genuinely care about the communities they’re in and the memories they can help create.”

SAMANTHA TIMM CURATOR, SAINT KATE –THE ARTS HOTEL

➞ Samantha Timm’s curatorial art career includes stops at the York Art Gallery in the United Kingdom and New York City’s Guggenheim Museum. So she knows the ingredients of a cultured art scene, and she sees them all right here in Milwaukee.

“There is art and culture around every corner of the city,” Timm said, “and much of it is accessible and open to the public.” That includes everything from the world-renowned Milwaukee Art Museum to Wisconsin Avenue’s public art installations to the striking pieces Timm brings to Saint Kate.

Equally important, Timm said, is how Milwaukeeans continue to elevate the arts scene. “People in the arts community go out of their way to support each other and collaborate,” Timm said. “They’re constantly building each other up and inviting those new to Milwaukee to participate in what they are working on.”

PAUL BARTOLOTTA CHEF AND CO-FOUNDER, THE BARTOLOTTA RESTAURANTS

➞ The two-time James Beard award-winner is one of the country’s most respected chefs and restaurateurs. And though Paul Bartolotta can tell you all about running a Vegas restaurant or being named an ambassador of cuisine by Italy’s president, he’d just as soon explain why his heart and soul remain in Milwaukee.

“The people are everything. They are truly the soul of this city,” Bartolotta said. “Milwaukee rivals any city in the world with hospitality, and that is what I love most about it.”

He remains, of course, a champion and promoter of Milwaukee’s dining scene. “From cultural mom and pop shops to impeccable fine dining,” Bartolotta said, “Milwaukee’s ever-growing culinary scene is poised for national and international recognition, and I couldn’t be more proud to be a part of it.”

NOEL ALVARADO ARTIST AND OWNER, NONE ABOVE

➞ Much of Noel Alvarado’s work is rooted in fashion, and his custom-painted sneakers are true marks of modern style. He sees Milwaukee as a collection of passionate individuals who combine to make a greater whole. “The best way I can define Milwaukee is one big melting pot that brings this uniqueness to our city,” Alvarado said. “No matter your ethnicity, religion, or political views, Milwaukee has something for everyone.”

He sees no better example of this togetherness than the Sherman Phoenix Marketplace. The small business hub hosts more than 25 businesses, everything from barbers to bakers, restaurateurs to massage therapists. “Being part of a tight-knit community that is welcoming and engaging gives us that feeling of belonging and togetherness,” Alvarado said. “Community plays a huge role in Milwaukee becoming a great place to visit and a great place to live.”

SHAWNA NICOLS DJ, MILWAUKEE BUCKS

➞ DJ Shawna’s soundtracks are music to the ears of Milwaukee Bucks fans. While the team is winning on the court, she’s hyping up the fans in the stands. And she’s all too happy to hype up Milwaukee at large. “This is my home,” Nicols said. “I have been fortunate enough to live all over the globe, but always found myself coming back.”

She keeps returning because she believes Milwaukeeans are some of the best people in the world and they’ve created a place unlike any other. “One of the brilliant aspects of Milwaukee is the unique neighborhoods that make up one incredible city,” Nicols said. “My vision is for Milwaukee to be a place for everyone to feel that this is their city, their home, and their favorite travel destination.”

JUDGE DEREK MOSLEY DIRECTOR,

MARQUETTE UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL’S LUBAR CENTER FOR PUBLIC POLICY RESEARCH AND CIVIC EDUCATION

➞ Derek Mosley spent 20 years as a Milwaukee municipal judge before joining Marquette. The self-described foodie enjoys having a seat at the table for Milwaukee’s award-winning restaurant scene. Moreover, he loves the city’s diversity and how it makes this a place with something for everyone.

But for all of the development through the years, Mosley is particularly thankful for what hasn’t been developed. “We’ve created green spaces next to the lake,” Mosley said, “so it can be enjoyed by people and not high rises.” Milwaukee is home to more than 150 public parks, including three designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, who also happened to design New York City’s Central Park. They are gems not to be missed.

eaturing sold-out rock concerts, quick-witted comedians, the newest Broadway hits, and up-andcoming indie artists, the Milwaukee Theater District truly is Milwaukee’s most entertaining district. Since 1895, this walkable group of venues in the heart of downtown has offered world-class acts in stunning, must-visit theaters. Nine world-class theaters and over 2,000 shows each year guarantee

With 15,000 theater seats downtown, the Milwaukee Theater District ranks No. 1 in the United States for the highest number of theater seats per capita.

➞ Wauwatosa’s combination of galleries and public art makes it a perfect destination for serious and casual art aficionados alike. And when your eyes need a break from the browsing, you’ll find plenty of spots to kick back, relax, and refresh.

AWARD-WINNING

EATS

Allow us, if you will, a few moments of culinary persuasion. Because we have a sense of how you might think of Milwaukee’s dining scene, and it probably has something to do with cheese, brats, and beer. Sure, we do enjoy a tasty wedge, a grilled link, and a frosty mug from time to time. But trust us - we’ve got a lot more on our plates here. And frankly, you should, too.

Word’s steadily spread about Milwaukee’s burgeoning dining scene for the better part of two decades, and the memo has led to some truly delicious rewards. Sometimes, the secret escapes through a James Beard award. Other times, a Milwaukee chef or restaurant captures the nation’s TV cameras, or the message gets out through good-old-fashioned word of mouth. The simple, scrumptious result: Those in earshot eat very, very well.

DISCOVER JAMES BEARD-RECOGNIZED RESTAURANTS

In 2022 alone, Milwaukee was honored with a pair of James Beard award-winners. Dane Baldwin, chef and co-owner of The Diplomat on Brady Street, was named Best Chef: Midwest. Although his menu changes seasonally, it’s an always-approachable mix of small and full-size plates. But don’t think twice if trout is on the menu, and don’t ever forget to save room for the peanut butter pie.

It was also a banner year for Solly’s Grille, which has perfected the Wisconsin art of the butter burger since first serving it way back in 1936. Solly’s was named one of five America’s Classics winners for its slightly messy masterpiece, a ground sirloin patty topped with stewed onions and the burger’s namesake – an overly generous amount of Wisconsin butter.

Beard bestowed plenty of other Milwaukee honors in 2022. Kyle Knall of Birch was a semifinalist for the national Outstanding Chef award, and Odd Duck was named a semifinalist for national Outstanding Restaurant. Also, Karen

Bell of Bavette La Boucherie was a finalist for Best Chef: Midwest. While Dan Jacobs and Dan Van Rite of EsterEv and Gregory León of Amilinda were semifinalists for the award.

Baldwin is the fourth Milwaukee chef to earn Beard’s title of best in the Midwest, and all four still delight Milwaukee’s diners with either their work or legacies. Justin Aprahamian won the award in 2014 as chef and owner of Sanford, one of the city’s best-loved and longestoperating restaurants. He bought Sanford in 2012 from Sandy D’Amato, who opened it in 1989 and won Best Chef: Midwest himself in 1996. The seasonal menu, described as modern ethnic, remains true to its tradition of locally sourced artisan ingredients.

Adam Siegel’s Best Chef: Midwest award came in 2008, and he recently opened Lupi & Iris to enhance downtown’s fine-dining scene. It's a 2023 semifinalist for national Best New Restaurant. The seafood and pasta creations draw inspiration from the French and Italian

Riviera, with ingredients sourced locally and from the coasts as well as Europe.

When the Beard Foundation honored Siegel, he was executive chef at Lake Park Bistro, which remains one of Milwaukee’s top fine-dining destinations. In addition to outstanding French cuisine, it also boasts one of Milwaukee’s top views from atop a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. Fans of great lake views should also consider Harbor House, which specializes in seafood and shares the same lakeshore stretch as the Milwaukee Art Museum and Discovery World. Both are Bartolotta restaurants, and owner Paul Bartolotta was a Beard finalist for Outstanding Restaurateur in 2020 after multiple years of prior Beard recognition with his late brother, Joe.

Black Shoe Hospitality - run by Joe Muench, Dan Sidner, Amy Kerstein, and Jason Kerstin - was named a semifinalist for Outstanding Restaurateur in 2022 and 2023. The company's restaurants include Blue's Egg, Story Hill BKC, Buttermint and Maxie's.

Justin Carlisle, a four-time finalist for Best Chef: Midwest, opened Ardent in late 2013,

and it was an immediate hit on Milwaukee’s lower East Side. It earned immediate Beard recognition, too, being tabbed as a semifinalist for national Best New Restaurant in 2014. Today, Ardent’s calling card is an adventurous 12-course tasting menu served in its intimate dining space. But if you’re looking for a more laid-back setting, try Red Light Ramen. It began as an end-of-the-week excuse for the Ardent staff to get together over bowls of ramen. Now, it’s become a full-fledged restaurant that stays true to its ramen roots.

Beard recognized David Swanson, chef and owner of Braise in Walker's Point, as a semifinalist for Best Chef: Midwest from 20132016. The restaurant locally sources ingredients from more than 40 farms in Wisconsin to curate a rotating seasonal menu.

Three Brothers opened in 1956, tucked into a quiet Bay View neighborhood just steps from Lake Michigan. In 2002, its detailed commitment to traditional Serbian cuisine earned a James Beard America’s Classics award, and after one bite of their famed burek, you’ll know exactly why.

Raise a Glass

➞ Beer may always be foundational to Milwaukee's bar scene, but we also know a thing about spirits, and the Beard Foundation knows we know. Goodkind was a semifinalist for the Outstanding Bar Program award in 2022. Co-owner Katie Rose is the driving force behind Goodkind’s expertise at pairing the perfect cocktail with chef and co-owner Paul Zerkel’s seasonal Americana cuisine. Bryant’s Cocktail Lounge opened its doors way back in 1938 and has gained a national reputation for its classic combination of atmosphere and mixology. Among its many honors through the years was Beard semifinal recognition for Outstanding Bar Program in 2013 and 2019.
