Winter's are too long and cold.
In a nutshell
Surprisingly cool, summer is ideal to visit.
yooperprof Says: Charles Allis was the early 20th century heir of the industrial firm that later became Allis-Chalmers. He sunk his money into this north side Milwaukee mansion, and into furnishing his home with 19th century art to adorn its walls. The French Barbizon school is particularly...
raquelita1984 Says: Milwaukee summers are like no other. Having lived in Wisconsin my whole life, I can understand why. The cold definitely keeps people in, to be honest, there's not all that much to do in the winter. But when warm weather comes around...look out! Every week there's a street...

Alterra Foundry: New coffee location in the Fifth Ward
yooperprof Says: Alterra's newest location is in an old industrial building in the Fifth Ward - which is actually just south of the Third Ward, across the N. Water Street Bridge and over the Milwaukee River. It's everything that we love about Alterra - which means that it's very popular,...
Ma Fischer's: Good breakfast on the North Side
yooperprof Says: Ma Fischer's is an all-day diner on the north side, close to the UW-Milwaukee campus as well as several large medical institutions. I'm sure that the wait staff here sees EVERYTHING! I've been here mainly for breakfast and brunch which is also good. The place hums with...
Miss Katie's Diner: Marquette campus classic
yooperprof Says: Genuine formica! This is a classic diner with great atmosphere, close to Marquette University. I like it also because it's a place with very easy access on and off the interstate highway, so it makes it a convenient place to stop in Milwaukee if I am passing through on my...
Hinterland: Premier gastropub in the Third Ward
yooperprof Says: Year in, year out, and as the seasons ebb and flow, Hinterland is my favorable Milwaukee restaurant, and has been for four or five years now. I can always count on a meal of the highest quality, served with outstandingly fresh beer. Appetizers are interesting and filling;...
Comet Cafe: Eastside diner with a tail behind it
yooperprof Says: I love the cozy Comet Cafe, on Farwell Ave., one of the main drags through the East side of Milwaukee. It's a perfect neighborhood hang-out, especially convenient after a visit to the nearby Charles Allis decorative arts Museum. The atmosphere is old-town Milwaukee, retro...
Watts Tea Shop: Historic Teas, Breakfast & lunch place downtown
yooperprof Says: The Watts Tea Shop is a Wisconsin "ladies who brunch and lunch" institution that harkens back to a simpler era of meticulous table service and fine linens. Located on the second floor of a shop that sells fine fabrics, giftware, kitchen gadgets and floral arrangements, the...
Smyth, at the Iron Horse Inn: Ralph Lauren goes to a biker bar?
yooperprof Says: I think I read somewhere that Smyth, the hotel restaurant at the trendy "Iron Horse Inn," was intended to be an upscale and glamorized version of a traditional "Route 66 " roadhouse. Ralph Lauren in the Okies? I'm not so sure that's really a good idea. My English friends...
San Dong Express: Inexpensive Chinese by the Airport
yooperprof Says: In the last few years I've taken to using the MKE airport as a less expensive alternative to my own local small town field - in spite of the fact that MKE is 300 miles away, 5+ hours drive from my home. With the relentless increase in airfares - coupled with a depressing...
yooperprof Says: Very good Vietnamese restaurant, close to Mitchell MKE Airport on the south side of town - it's actually in the suburb of Greenfield. I don't know a lot about Vietnamese food, but if I lived in this area I would definitely make an effort to aquaint myself with it on a...
Water Street Brewery, in Grafton: Suburban outpost of popular brewpub
yooperprof Says: In 1987, Water Street Brewery became the first "modern" brewpub to be opened in Wisconsin under the newly progressive brewing laws. They've now been in business for a quarter of a century! The people at Water Street have really played an important role in the transformation...
Regano's Roman Coin: Great Neighborhood Bar
gkitzmil Says: Actually I think they open at 7:00 AM so this is not so much a "nightlife" tip as it is a "good place to find a cold beer" tip. Notice the Blatz sign -- they actually serve Blatz on tap, along with Miller products. They have imports in bottles If you would enjoy abeer in a...
MEL'S ON WATER: WHERE THE YOUNGER CROWD GOES
gkitzmil Says: Mel's is in the Heart of the Water Street bar scene in Milwaukee. Mel's has a great bar, cool building, and big screen TV's. Another cool historic building of "cream brick" as they call it in Milwaukee. just show up!
D.C. Says: Milwaukee's airport is Mitchell (MKE is the code). If you have a layover, there is a great used bookstore in the terminal, outside the security screening. And grab some frozen custard, too, at Northpoint. It's worth the calories.

raquelita1984 Says: Plain and simple, the Northwest side of Milwaukee is where you do not want to visit (day or night). It extends pretty much in the section West of I43 and North of I94. Marquette area is OK, can be slightly sketchy at night, so just travel in groups. The south side (South of...

LoriPori Says: The second and more popular cheese outlet was MARS' CHEESE CASTLE which was located at 2800 120th Avenue, Kenosha, Wisconsin. This was a HUGE place, with a tremendous amount of products available, including cheeses, wine, specialty chocolates, sausages, specialty groceries,...
