They do get busy, so consider a reservation. It's American pub food for the most part. Cheese curds are delicious. I love the pizzas and salads. They had a previous pizza guy and his pizzas were the best, sorry he's not there anymore, but they're still good. My husband likes their burgers and specials. My adult children like the sandwiches. Fish fry is excellent except for the coleslaw, it's spicy and I prefer either creamy or vinegar. We have tried many of the beers and enjoy them all. I typically get the crusher. Bartenders are always attentive when we sit at the bar. Servers are great, they are all so nice and remember regulars. Hostess is warm and welcoming, we even saw her at the grocery store and she said hi. They seem to have very little turnover of staff. Whenever we had any issues, we let the staff know and they corrected it promptly. They have a rewards club so we save on meals and a mug club to save on beer. The patio is a great spot in summer, there's a fire pit and you can bring dogs. They have trivia and other events regularly. We have tried their other Explorium locations and Wayfinder on the east side before a show - we had excellent service there too. The owners seem dedicated to the community and their staff. We'll keep coming back.

Eagle Park Brewery & Distillery offers a solid option for drinks and a casual dinner in Milwaukee…read more We sat at the bar, and service was great even as the bar area filled to capacity. We started with the MKE Outboard Flight. As a fan of MKE beers, it was good to know Eagle Park brews them -- an easy win right out of the gate. I also tried the Super Speko Kooler hard seltzer. Dangerously drinkable. My husband settled on the Pale Oat Lager and enjoyed it enough to order a second. For dinner I had the Midwest Meltdown, a patty melt with two smash patties, Gouda, Monterey Jack, Cheddar, American Cheese, garlic aioli, and herbed onions on brioche loaf. I held the onions. The cheese situation was excellent, but the patties came out more well done than I would prefer. My husband had the Friday Night Fish Fry -- beer battered cod, crispy fries, house made coleslaw, tartar sauce, and toasted marbled rye. He enjoyed it and had no complaints. The beverages are the highlight and worth the trip on their own. I would try other menu items on a return visit, though a burger would not be my first choice again.

They have a good selection of beers on tap and the food menu consisted of your typical pub foods. My friend asked the waiter if they recommended their fish fry or a burger, we came on a Saturday night. He said fish fry if you came in a Friday, burger the other days. I trust his opinion there, she said the burger was great. I had the Philly cheesesteak and was really happy. The hoagie was soft, but toasted. The steak was tender and there was great flavor. The only critique I have is for their cheese curds. The texture and cheese were on point, but it was lacking in flavor, specifically in the breading. Very good experience overall.

A friend and I came just to have a few drinks and the drinks were delicious. I was so super excited to discover that they had my all time very beer; New Glarus Raspberry Tart! The only other bar that I've been to that has this beer, is Sugar Maple. So that was really awesome! We tried a cocktail and then a blueberry cream cider, which were also really delicious. Lots of beers on tap! The food looked good but we didn't eat. I'd definitely return! Service was friendly! There is a parking lot but it fills up fast.

Their current winter "Port No 6" menu has drinks starting at $12 but you can tell they put a lot of care into each creation. We stopped by on a Wednesday before 6pm and they did offer $2 off tap beers so I got a zombie dust tulip for $5. Not bad! Staff are friendly but things may move a little slower due to the care they put into their cocktails. This is definitely reminiscent of island vibes. Wait for a good drink and relax at the bar or outer patio (which has heaters in the winter). Street parking is pretty easy to snag, even around dinner time.

There was a wide variety of drinks options and reasonably priced as well. I ended picking the Zoinks cocktail based on the bartender recommendation. It was a slightly savory cocktail and a nice way to close out my evening. There was a decent sized crowd throughout the space. There is limited indoor space but its made up for with an outdoor fireplace and picnic table seating. I would happily return to Station No 6!

The staff is unfailingly friendly and attentive. This is a real neighborhood gem!

It has a nice cozy feel, looks more like someone's home than it does a traditional brewery. It isn't huge, but ideal if you're looking for a more quiet intimate setting. I got the Grooner pale ale, and a taster of sensitive king, both good. Bartender seemed nice. They had Stranger Things playing on the TVs which was cool, though just a FYI in case you were looking for a place that plays sports games. While maybe not in my top tier of Milwaukee breweries, still worth checking out.

I love a warm deck during the summer and I will be back to get their beer. I tried the hefeweizen and the dunkel weiss and I loved the crisp flavors. Friend had the blackberry sangria which was tasty but a little too sweet for me but I'm not a big sugar person. Another person had the Mai Bock. They start you off with complimentary pretzels and a cheese dip. Love it!!!! We had the nacho platter which is HUGE and it won't reheat well so bring your appetite. We all shared the prime rib sandwich which was good but let's talk about the loaded hash browns. They are like stepping into a church basement with gooey cheese and onions... It's just plain good comfort food. I highly recommend because you can get fries anywhere. Service was friendly and quick. Even the owner came out and asked about our meals. It's great to see an owner involved and working his restaurant. I will return and try some other items but I'm mostly looking forward to sitting on the sunny deck relaxing with a beer. It's worth the hype!

Food was decent, atmosphere was also fine, but service was not good…read more We had been wanting to try this place for a while so we invited our friends to join us. We got there and we had a reservation, so we were seated right away. We ordered appetizers and we all ordered steak dinners and three of us ordered beer. The tap beer was just so-so. The steak dinners were pretty good. My steak was more medium-well than medium-rare, but still good. And the mashed potatoes and veg were really good. I'd go back for the food, but we were just not cared for by our server. She didn't bring plates for our appetizers and didn't check back so we were just eating over the table for quite a while. We also got the wrong wing sauce and needed to have one of our orders of wings replaced which our server seemed slightly annoyed about. Then after our appetizer plates were cleared one of our group accidentally handed in his silverware. After we got our dinner, the server also didn't check back for a while so our friend was left unable to eat his food for quite a while. Lastly, we all would have ordered more drinks and dessert but the server never asked us if we wanted anything else. Overall, the server was not pleasant or friendly or interested in our table and we just didn't feel cared for in a way that would encourage us to come back again.

Good vibes, good beer offerings, and great company!…read more I came by after enjoying happy hour at a nearby restaurant and wanted to cap off the evening with some beer. When I walked in, I noticed that there was limited seating but there was some space at the bar. I genuinely appreciated that there was both printed menus as well as a handwritten one. There was a good variety of beers, seltzers and draft cocktails. I landed on enjoying an Oktoberfest beer and it was super drinkable. Although I was there alone, I appreciated that there weren't a ton of TVs. There's also a back patio that would be awesome for the warmer weather. The staff engaged with me as well as other customers and I was left feeling comfortable. Whenever I'm back in the area, I'm sure I'll find myself at one of the bar stools.
