As Milwaukee’s most iconic food destination, the Milwaukee Public Market is a bustling community hub for Milwaukeeans and a can’t-miss experience for out-of-town guests.

With 18 independently owned merchants, the market offers a broad spectrum of food choices ranging from local Wisconsin staples like fresh cheese curds to the nationally acclaimed Lobster Roll from St. Paul Fish, along with an assortment of ethnic options and much more. Guests can also explore a variety of drink options, including a tropical experience at The Palapa Tiki Bar, diverse wine selections at Thief Wine bar, cocktails from West Allis Cheese and Margarita Paradise, and a classic Wisconsin bar feel behind the Foltz Family Market. Beyond the made-to-order offerings, the market is a haven for shoppers looking to explore gourmet spices at Spice House, artisanal oils and vinegars at Oro di Oliva, unique flowers at Marius Bell, Milwaukee merchandise at Brew’d City, and everything in between.

The Market also showcases a variety of cooking classes in The Madame Kuony Demonstration Kitchen. Classes feature instructors ranging from the Market’s own vendors and local chefs to nationally known cookbook authors. The Palm Garden and Kitchen are also available for private event rentals, including corporate team-building events, company functions, weddings, and private parties.

A visit to the Market isn’t complete without exploring its architecturally acclaimed structure. From its iconic neon signs to its curated collection of antiques reflecting Milwaukee's rich history, including a vintage VW bus repurposed as the counter for the On The Bus restaurant, the photo opportunities are endless. Just steps away, guests can stroll along the scenic Milwaukee Riverwalk and explore the charming Historic Third Ward neighborhood.

If you're looking to experience the best of Milwaukee, or host a private event, there is no better place than the Milwaukee Public Market.
