Food Scene

No frills, low key downtown spot that has consistently good basics and great staff. Not recommended if you are driving. Traffic and parking can be an issue.

About the only thing worth walking to other than the Miller Brewery. Super old school Milwaukee steakhouse. Reservation are needed but you can still call same day. There is a cool small lounge with live music called the Alley Cat (call to see if it's open)

Only open in the summer. If you can find it! Kitchy spot on the river is always busy. Pretty much only deck seating so go when the weather is nice and watch as the boats dock. Great tourist spot and very popular with the locals.

I won't tell you the password to get in and I won't tell you which phone booth is the way to the exit. This Milwaukee spy bar has secret rooms, bar stools that go through the floor and a layout that is sure to get you turned around after a few cocktails. Hint.....Entrance is in the alley.

Sightseeing

Also better known as the Calatrava. Weather you want to pay admission for the exhibits (you do not need to to enter) Or just take in the incredible architecture, do not miss this attraction. The "arms" of the building open and close on certain times throughout the day.. Highly recommend catching part of that.
