Milwaukee has come a long way since its famous origins as a “beer and brats” town. Once known as the nation’s top producing beer city, Milwaukee has grown into a hip and popular city undergoing educational, cultural and entertainment transformations. Neighborhoods are growing, stylish condos are now the norm, cultural attractions abound and the nightlife and entertainment are better than ever. 

In addition to the downtown area, the ongoing development of the city’s Third and Fifth Wards along the Milwaukee River brings stylish boutiques, classy bars, delicious restaurants and distinctive galleries to the city. Families enjoy the Milwaukee Brewers baseball stadium – Miller Park, the Milwaukee Public Museum, Discovery World at Pier Wisconsin and the signature Milwaukee Art Museum addition designed by world-famous architect Santiago Calatrava.

The city’s nightlife is alive with martini bars, piano bars, jazz clubs, pubs, dance clubs and more. Milwaukee’s dining experience ranges from appetizing sushi restaurants and traditional American steak houses to Italian bistros and fresh seafood restaurants. Residents enjoy performances at the Milwaukee Ballet, Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, Milwaukee Repertory Theater and other performing arts venues within the area. Milwaukee is also known for its series of lakefront ethnic, music and cultural festivals including the world-famous Summerfest. 

Milwaukee has something to offer everyone – singles, young professionals, alternative lifestyles, newlyweds, families and baby boomers alike.
