Hidden gem! I was here for an event and was shocked at how nice it was - you wouldn't guess from the streetview! Such a cool space with personality and so many spots to wander or socialize. Will return!

My husband & I got married July 2023 at The Cooperage and I wouldn't go back and do it any other way! Maddie was fantastic to work with - very laid back/flexible but quick to respond to any questions we had or changes we were making. Chef Mitch had our guests ranting and raving about the food, and all our guests stated they were quick to receive drinks at the bar.We had 123 people, total. We opted for an indoor ceremony and then encouraged our guests to go outside for cocktail hour while the staff flipped the space. Having the outdoor space during this time seemed necessary, it would be hard to displace that many guests into the bar area alone, although I suppose the balcony space could be utilized for this.For dinner, we had a sweetheart table and 16 8-person guest tables. I really wanted all our guests to eat on the main floor as opposed to using the balcony space, and Maddie warned me while it would be a bit snug, they could make it work. They did indeed make it work with serving family-style dinner, and I very much appreciated their willingness to work with me!Something to note: The Cooperage staff set out the chargers that we brought, but otherwise you are responsible for the set-up of everything else you bring (i.e table numbers, unity candle, neon sign, etc.)Overall, Maddie was great to work with. The appetizers & dinner food were as good as you will get, the bar service was quick and friendly, and the space is exactly what you make it!

My wife and I got married at the Cooperage on October 28th. Not only is this a top of the line wedding venue, but you'll also get treated with the utmost respect. Emily, her team, and all employees that we worked with were professional and classy. The food was wonderful (shoutout Mitch) and the drinks were tasty..such a selection as well! The venue itself is awesome, we got so many compliments on how cool the rustic cream city brick style was, as well as the moody lighting. We had 150 guests with an indoor ceremony and then room flip and it went very very well. The acoustics in the venue were very good, with the stage and venue being the perfect spot for a live band (shoutout Good Clean Fun). In addition to being such an amazing venue and attached to the awesome bar Boone & Crocket, the Cooperage also has an amazing view both during the day and night and had private campfires going for guests that wanted a breath of fresh air at night. Overall this is such a dreamy spot for a wedding. My wife and I were very happy we chose the Cooperage.

I was here to see The Beaches last week and the venue itself is wonderful! Small place but it felt big enough for a small concert. Outside of the venue, there were a few food trucks that look like they are there year round. And there was free parking too!

Couldn't be happier with out choice to have our wedding at The Cooperage! Maddie did an outstanding job of making sure everything went smoothly and responded quickly to any questions I had. Chef Mitch did a beautiful job with our charcuterie and desserts and our guest all said the food was amazing. the bartenders were fast and friendly. I worked in the wedding venue biz for a while and The Cooperage is top notch! Thank you so much!

I liked it. Great venue for live music and dance. Good-sized bar and libations on hand. Courteous bartenders. Located right by the lakefront. The building itself is beautiful and has an interesting history.

Awesome venue for the Hue Review Show! I was a vendor up in the balcony and the staff went out of their way to help in any way they could. The space was beautiful and the staff professional. I highly recommend stopping by to make a memory.

AMAZING wedding venue. Perfect ceremony with coordinated sound and good landscaping, well stocked bar with plenty of bar staff (not a wait longer than a few minutes or less in a wedding of 150ish people) and the sound quality for the band was amazing.We have received so many compliments on this venue and how well it was done. We cannot take credit for all of them. Emily and the Cooperage have the best house plants (that double as decor), staff, cute vintage plates and shareable food options. They easily and seamlessly worked with our vendors to have everything work.And you cannot beat the wedding pictures on the roof. If I have any other event in Milwaukee - it will be here!!!
