Large selection of craft beers. Also serve wine and non-alcoholic beverages. Large interior with a really great Pizza Brothers Pizza restaurant. Very large outside patio with fire pits on cool days/nights. We visited on Labor Day Weekend, had bands all day outside. Lots of seats but they draws big crowds. Always very clean and dog friendly on the patio. Also children friendly with a large sandbox with toys. See lots of family here. A really good time.

First time visiting Milwaukee and we tried this place for lunch. The burgers were super good, very tasty and perfect size. They also serve bacon fat popcorn which were delicious! The people were friendly, patiente and very attentive.

Cheese curds were the highlight! Oak Barrel Signature burger was a bit dry, but decent overall. Great vibes inside and great place to grab a draft before the Bucks game.

We went for brunch, food was delicious. They first bring out bacon popcorn, yum! Our server Josh was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back

Every time I have been in Oak Barrel the staff has been amazing. Especially at time when we here so many places are lacking in this area. The bartenders and servers couldn't be more kind and attentive. And if you want Wisconsin comfort food and cocktails this is the place to go.
We recently hosted a 65+ person welcome party/rehearsal dinner at Oak Barrel and every guest raved about the team, the space and the food. The night exceeded our expectations and that is in BIG part to Mackenzie Beesley (sales and marketing manager). Mackenzie made the planning process so easy and ensured the event went off without a hitch. We will be forever grateful for her and the team helping us kick off our wedding weekend in style and family fun.
I can assure you, we will back be, especially before Bucks games!

My husband and I came here in 2021 for our honeymoon and we STILL rave about what a wonderfully delicious experience we had. I dream about the bacon fat popcorn.
Nicole Crawford
Fun location, building and food. Staff were attentive and on top of things. Clean restaurant for being very busy. We enjoyed burgers and BBQ mac and cheese. In and out in about 40 minutes with a reservation and we took our time eating. Comfort food for a cold rainy night. Popcorn at the table is a nice touch and was enjoyed by all.

We had a class reunion here. They treated us well and the accomodations were excellent. The food provided could have been better but it wasn't terrible. It was walking distance to our place so we liked it.

Visited during Downtown dining week. Appetizer cheese curds were sooo good & a nice sized portion suitable for sharing. The appetizer chips were crispy & the dip was delish. Had the Caprese smash burger which was tasty although I like my burgers medium — it was well done as it’s a smash! Service was great. We ate outdoors. Only one panhandler who rolled on along when we told him no.

Oak Barrel Public House offers a good overall brew pub experience. I was very satisfied with my burger and the fries were outstanding! The service was below average as we were seated at a dirty table and needed to ask to have it wiped off after we were served drinks. A guest at the table ordered a Red Bull and I noticed the server checking her phone multiple times with him receiving said Red Bull around ten minutes later. The food Quality/Value ratio is slightly above average for downtown Milwaukee. 4.0 (5.0)

I had a good dinner at Oak Barrel. I ate a special they served called the whisky bacon pasta grilled chicken, which included mac n’cheese, grilled chicken, onions, mushrooms, and a special sauce. It tasted very good. I also ordered the Buffalo chicken salad, which was very generous with the amount of chicken. I also loved that. Everything was enjoyable at this restaurant from the food, service, staff, and atmosphere. I’d recommend dining here.

We're big fans of Oak Barrel in general, but we were really impressed on our recent visit. The staff are incredibly sweet and did an amazing job to get our order to us quickly and correctly despite staffing issues from the holidays. The drinks were fun and festive and the meals were tasty as always.

Everything ok this menu is to die for. Cheese curds, pizza, burgers, and their Mac & cheese is incredible!!! 10/10

This is a nice little whiskey bar. Not busy at all on a weekday afternoon. Friendly staff and good food. I got the cheese curds and they were fantastic. The whiskey batter they had on them was just great. I tried a few local beers that were really good too. If I live here I’d probably visit regularly.

They look like a downtown bar but we love them for Sunday brunch. We loved our reasonably priced breakfast plates but strangely, our 8 year old granddaughter would not eat her French toast sticks because they were "too sweet". Thickly covered with cinnamon sugar, we brushed them off and ate them while she ate part of our eggs and potatoes. Lol
Justin Neal
Great private event in the upstairs room. I was fortunate to be invited and enjoyed a couple of interesting beers along with a collection of tasty food. The bartender made excellent suggestions!
I had a fine time and would be delighted to go back. I am not sure what the experience would be like if I was stopping in on my own but the chicken was flavorful and moist, the potatoes were buttery and creamy and the pretzel/cheese sauce was epic!
Bacon fat popcorn was a curious and delicious surprise!

We went for Sunday brunch and everything was delicious! We were greeted when we entered and promptly taken to our table as we had a reservation. The waitstaff was helpful, friendly and prompt. We did the irish whiskey flight which if you are a fan of whiskey I highly recommend it! Also, get the chicken and waffles delicious! We will be back!

I had such a blast last night. The servers were just awesome and super friendly and the food and drinks were out of this world. We started with the whisky battered cheese curds and the Kentucky fried bacon, both were amazing! Next we had the French connection and bbq chicken pizza and a side of Mac and cheese. I highly recommend oak barrel!
Gemma Lynn
