The Explorium Brewpub Third Ward is nestled in the historic Pritzlaff Building in Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward, showcasing the charm of its 1904 origins. With a total capacity of 400 guests, the brewpub features three unique areas: the Inside Bar and Dining Area, the “Tunnel” Bar and Dining Area, and the Outside Patio. Original cream city brick walls, timber beams, and natural wood elements give the Inside Bar a warm and inviting feel, with seating for up to 180 guests, including a main bar, community tables, and a flexible dining area.

 

The “Tunnel” offers a distinctive outdoor experience sheltered by the building, accommodating up to 100 guests. Once a train tunnel, its cobblestone floor and wooden deck create a rustic ambiance, complemented by overhead café lighting and radiant heat for cooler months. The Outside Patio seats 80 and features a stage for live entertainment, fire pits, and cozy lighting, making it a perfect spot for al fresco dining and social gatherings.
