As Milwaukee’s most iconic food destination, the Milwaukee Public Market is a bustling community hub for locals and a can’t-miss experience for visitors.

With 18 independently owned merchants, the market offers a wide assortment of food choices, from Wisconsin staples like fresh cheese curds to the nationally acclaimed Lobster Roll from St. Paul Fish, along with an array of global flavors. Guests can also enjoy drinks at The Palapa Tiki Bar, Thief Wine, West Allis Cheese, Margarita Paradise, or the classic Wisconsin-style bar at Foltz Family Market. Beyond food and drink, the market features gourmet spices, artisanal oils, fresh flowers, Milwaukee merchandise, and more.

Adding to the experience, the Market also hosts cooking classes in the Madame Kuony Demonstration Kitchen, led by local chefs, vendors, and nationally known authors. The architecturally acclaimed space itself is part of the draw, with iconic neon signs, antiques, and a vintage VW bus repurposed as a restaurant counter—perfect for photos. Just steps away, guests can stroll the scenic Milwaukee Riverwalk and explore the vibrant Historic Third Ward.

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