Riverwest
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Riverwest, Milwaukee
Riverwest is one of Milwaukee's most distinctly artsy, independent neighborhoods, long known for its DIY music scene and dive bars - and its 55 venues reflect that directly. Lakefront Brewery is a genuine Milwaukee institution and one of the city's best-known breweries, while dive bars like Squirrel Cage and The Riverwest Filling Station carry the neighborhood's scrappier reputation. It's one of the more characterful bar scenes in the city.
