Central Waters Brewing Co. | Brewery District, Milwaukee — Restaurant in Milwaukee

Great beer, lovely staff, scenic locale.

I bounced around the bulk of their offerings and found them all to be downright lovely. The Ode - Rice Lager was altogether crisp and inviting, the Brewer's Reserve Stout was rich and sultry. I appreciated they provided good glassware and offered a variety of incremental pours, so you can try a whole range of brews and then hone in on some repeats with heartier portions later on.

I think it was understaffed when we visited. We tried all of the vegetarian items, and they were all unique and good. The beer was great, as expected. My wife and I shared a flight of some of our favorites. Being early on a Saturday also had a surprise for us in the number of families with young children, including infants. It was a family-friendly atmosphere. I really liked the history and layout of the architecture. Having multiple levels and a garden downstairs was an enriching experience. Much more going on than the...
