Brewers Hill

Brewers Hill is a small, diverse community north of Downtown on the Milwaukee River. The name is derived from the large number of brewery workers (and owners) that once inhabited the area. Some of the factories are still intact; but most have been or are in the process of being converted into condominiums and apartments. The neighborhood is bordered by the Harambee neighborhood on the north, the Riverwest neighborhood on the east, the Milwaukee River on the south, and Martin Luther King Drive on the west.

Roots, in a word, is cool. Not in a turn-of-the-century historic sort of way, either. Rather, this Brewers Hill stand out exemplifies modern Milwaukee dining. Spacious and airy with lots of natural wood and beautiful ironwork, it's easy to see why OnMilwaukee.com readers voted it the city's best atmosphere/vibe. ...

Charting Pabst progress
By Joel Brennan - Dec. 21, 2006 4:36 p.m.
I don't need to remind many people that the first Pabst proposal, known as "Pabst City," stirred up controversy and resulted in finger-pointing and name-calling around City Hal. Having been present for virtually every aspect of the deal, I can assure you that the reality show was much less interesting. ...
