There's another place to grab a beer in the Milwaukee Public Market. This is Milwaukee, after all.

The Buffalo Water Beer Bar, which I first told you about last August, is now open for business, offering four cold, fresh Wisconsin craft beers and Milwaukee's own Palermo's pizza.

"The Milwaukee Public Market in the Historic Third Ward is a destination stop for visitors and locals," said Bridget Viohl, owner of the bar and eatery. "The market is an exciting, vibrant, happening place with much to offer. The bar is a wonderful place to enjoy a neighborhood-brewed beverage and fresh, locally made pizza."

The new beer bar is located directly in the center of the market, adjacent to Thief Wine Shop & Bar and The Green Kitchen. It's across from Rupena's Fine Foods and the West Allis Cheese & Sausage Shoppe.

"The market is really a small neighborhood, with great friends and flavor," added Viohl.

The bar will sell slices of pizza beginning at $5 and whole pies for $14.95-16.95. On the beer side, it's currently featuring Buffalo Water Bison Blonde, Milwaukee Brewing Co.'s Louie's Demise, New Glarus Brewing Spotted Cow and Sprecher Black Bavarian. Imperial pints (18 oz.), of all brands, are available for $4.50.
