Milwaukee Public Market

Milwaukee Public Market is one of Milwaukee’s most iconic food destinations, bringing together local flavors, independent merchants, and a lively community atmosphere in the heart of the Historic Third Ward.

Home to 18 locally owned vendors, the market offers something for every craving, from Wisconsin favorites like fresh cheese curds to the nationally acclaimed Lobster Roll from St. Paul Fish Company, along with an array of global cuisines. Grab a drink at The Palapa Tiki Bar, Thief Wine, or the classic Wisconsin-style bar at Foltz Family Market, then browse gourmet spices, artisanal oils, fresh flowers, Milwaukee merchandise, and other unique finds.

The experience goes beyond food with cooking classes in the Madame Kuony Demonstration Kitchen, where local chefs, vendors, and nationally recognized authors share their skills and stories. The market’s distinctive architecture adds to its charm, featuring vintage neon signs, antique details, and a repurposed VW bus turned restaurant counter that make for memorable photo opportunities.

Located just steps from the scenic Milwaukee Riverwalk, the Milwaukee Public Market is an easy stop while exploring the vibrant Historic Third Ward and a must-visit destination for anyone looking to taste the flavors of Milwaukee.
