Once known primarily as a beer-making town, Milwaukee today has only one major brewer, Miller. Never fear, though - the city of beer still has numerous taverns, bars, pubs and microbreweries. The Water Street Entertainment Center is alive and hopping with taverns, restaurants and, of course, brewpubs. Another highlight is the artsy Third Ward, a restored warehouse district that's now a National Historic Landmark featuring terrific dining, a lively nightlife scene, art galleries and antique shops. Other popular attractions include the outstanding Milwaukee County Zoo, the Midwest Express Center, and the Milwaukee Public Museum, one of the nation's finest. NBA fans can catch a Bucks game and baseball fans can cheer on the Brewers at Miller Park. Visitors can hop aboard several fun cruises on either Lake Michigan or the Milwaukee River. The city also has several great festivals, notably Summerfest and the Great Circus Parade. And no visit would be complete without sampling the two foods Milwaukee is best known for - frozen custard, a premium ice cream treat that you'll find all over town, and the fish fry, available throughout the week at most restaurants, and everywhere Fridays.
Did you know?
The streets on the east side of the Milwaukee River are not directly opposite the streets on the west side. Look carefully and you'll also see that the bridges across the river are positioned at an angle. In the 1840's, the areas east and west of the river rivaled over payment for the bridge that was to connect the two cities. The "war" was so intense that citizens carried white flags when they needed to tread onto rival land. The state legislature settled the Great Bridge Battle in 1845.
