Visit Milwaukee's original brew pub on Water Street! Water Street Brewery is built on providing bar goers with a continuous variety of award-winning traditional and specialty home brews, as well as beers from local, regional, national and international breweries - and of course, nightlife fun. Enjoy your brew with an appetizer, sandwich or nightly entrée special. Stop by earlier on the weekends for brunch.
Music lovers must make it out to the annual Summerfest, an eleven-day mega festival filled with music, shows and food. Eleven stages fill the Henry Maier Festival Park and feature more than 700 bands, including some of the biggest names in the music world. The largest music festival in the world, drawing in over one million people annually, concludes with an enormous fireworks demonstration.
Be sure to watch a performance by the Milwaukee Repertory Theater & Professional Theater Company, an eleven member Resident Acting Company dedicated to presenting new playwrights and reviving classics. The Rep's current complex is a cleverly converted power generation plant that can seat well over a thousand people within its three theaters, and hosts an 11-play entertainment season annually.
