Reviews
This a really great space within walking distance of tons of food options and some breweries(what a surprise in MKE 🙄)
Overall the service was great. The cocktail recommendations were on point on the menu and the booze was crafted.
I had a gin and grapefruit side that was refreshing and well prepared. I also had the Old Rations cocktail that was excellent once the ice melted a bit and calmed down the hotness of the drink.
I strongly recommend a stop by sometime!
Excellent cocktails and a very comfortable space. The staff is helpful and friendly. Great selection of merch. The tour was really fun, too!
Went here a few years back for a tour (my first) and found it super informative!
Recently visited MKE again with my husband and we stopped in on a Saturday night. They had amazing variety of cocktails so we tried multiple and loved them all! It was a slower night when we went so we ended up playing Scrabble with the bartender (yes, they have a stack of board games!) and had so much fun we stayed way longer than we were planning. Brenda is an amazing bartender and made us feel so welcome and made sure we had a good night!
Great distillery tour! It's not a large distillery but worth the time. It has a number of items for purchase, a bar with a delicious looking food menu.
Great drinks and great service. Chill and relax atmosphere. Highly recommend if you want to try some locally made drinks.
Scotty and Brendan are funny, and engaging and super knowledgeable. Prices are absolutely on point, and the atmosphere is exactly what you'd want. Highly recommend.
Booked an whiskey tasting tour and I must say it was def an experience.
One of the oldest breweries in milwaukee area.
Our tour guide brendon was very informative, answered all our questions and gave us a lot of info on whiskey brewing
Got to try diff whiskey, vodka, gin, rum, bourbon
Def worth the money!
While Great Lakes Distillery is small, the tour was nice. Our guy gave us lots of information and the tasting was enjoyable. My wife, who is not really into distillery tours, enjoyed herself as well!
