Great Lakes Distillery, 616 W. Virginia St, Milwaukee, WI 53204
This Milwaukee distillery has built a loyal following, and it's easy to see why. The cocktail selection is creative and wide-ranging, the spirits are small-batch and genuinely interesting, and the food at Fox Den holds its own with standout items like smash burgers and cheesecake churro bombs. Non-alcoholic options are also on the menu, which is a nice touch. The tours get consistent praise and are considered a solid value, with knowledgeable guides like Kevin, Charles, and Kailen frequently called out by name. Beyond the tours, the distillery also offers cocktail-making classes led by staff like Emily. The bartenders seem to genuinely enjoy the work, and that energy comes through in the overall atmosphere. For anyone curious about craft spirits in Milwaukee, this one comes up again and again as a must-visit.
Great place! Kalin the bartender is fantastic! Great drinks and atmosphere. Great location. Walkable to other bars and restaurants. GLD also offers tours with or without drinks. I suggest the tour with drinks! Kalin led a fun engaging tour! She is hilarious! Also, Fox Den has fantastic food options. If you are in Milwaukee please check out Great Lakes Distillery and Tasting Room!
