A cornerstone in Wisconsin craft beer, Lakefront’s riverside brewery has become a local landmark. The Cream City brick building has been transformed from an early-1900s coal-fired power plant to one of the top gathering and event spaces in Milwaukee. Lakefront hosts events of all sizes. Events with 120 people or fewer can have a large section in the back of the beer hall sectioned off so they can still enjoy the lively atmosphere. The space can also be rented out in its entirety – inside and out.
