Food Hall Culture

Combine the convenience and flexibility of a food court with quality, local foods and you have a food hall. More than a grab-n-go meal while shopping, these places are dynamic culinary destinations.

THE ORIGINAL

Milwaukee Public Market

With unique, high-quality selections of artisan goods and freshly prepared foods, you’re sure to enjoy shopping the independent merchants of this Historic Third Ward market.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

Crossroads Collective

Found on Milwaukee's lively East Side, this food hall's local offerings include Scratch Ice Cream's sweet treats and Egg & Flour Pasta Bar's fresh, made-to-order meals. There's also a full-service bar in the middle of the hall and, if you know where to look, you might even find a speakeasy tucked away in a back alley.

COMMUNITY HUB

This onetime site of civic unrest has been transformed into a community treasure in this North Side neighborhood.
