The Copper Turtle Brewery & Taverne — Restaurant in Milwaukee

Happy Hour, hardly! We were the only people in the place, music was extremely loud, and I am guessing it was a in training bartender! We ordered an Espresso martini and a Classic Old Fashion. The martini was good, yet the old fashion was not made properly! Asked what kind of bourbon, she suggested Angel Envy…the drink was not good at all, no orange peel, cherry, and bitters muddled. About a two ounce pour, with a peel and cherry on a stick. We go to check out and the old fashion was $24???? We said we didn’t have 2, bartender had to call her manager, (he was outside the door smoking) and he said explained that because it was top shelf that was the price. Let’s be real, you can buy that bottle for another ten or so bucks. We paid it, he told us nothing he could do about it? We said we won’t be back and he proceeded to ask us what was for supper.

He informed me that he was not only the server but did some brewing. The two beers I tried were great. He gave me some suggestions for other spots too. I just wanted to thank him. I wasn't having the best day...and that was so pleasant. I didn't get around to trying the food, but we will next time. It's a must try. ....and what a beautiful space. Thanks, Ben... Oliver if you can remember that far back. It was...

A nice addition to the third ward. Their beer is surprisingly good, and the renovation on the interior of the place is aesthetically pleasing to look at while working on a buzz. I plan to work my way through their tap list, but for now I can heartily recommend the Jelly Fish Juice and the Tell Me You're In Wisconsin Without Telling Me You're in Wisconsin, the latter of which could use a new name that's not after an overdone TikTok trend. Also, just a heads up they are a credit card only bar and do not accept cash or crypto which is just...
