It still exudes the old world charm of Milwaukee with its leisurely pace. We walked over to Brady Street from the Lakefront Brewery (which is actually on the riverfront) on the other side of the Milwaukee river over the pedestrian bridge. I highly recommended you make this crossing from one side to the other. Having spent most of my time on Kinnickkinnic KK Street, they offer a similar hip vibe but I prefer Bayview personally.…

Good spot for bar crawling or a hungover brunch the morning after. This place gets busy at night. During the day, there are some independent shops that are fun to look through as well.

Brady Street is the primary commercial district of the Lower East Side neighborhood. It’s north of downtown, and probably isn’t an area you’ll stumble across unless you purposely set out to go there (takes about 15-20 minutes by streetcar and bus from downtown). I like to venture out into smaller neighborhoods at least once or twice when I visit a new city because it gives me a chance to put some distance between me and the other tourists who stick to downtown – and that makes it easier to see the local culture a little more clearly. Brady Street made me think of the Munjoy Hill neighborhood in Portland, Maine. They both have the same general urban fabric: two- or three-story historic buildings crowded along a single street, filled with unique shops and restaurants that cater to the neighborhood. It looks like a fun place to live and hang out! It’s big enough to keep you entertained, but small enough that you’ll get to know the shop owners and see your friends on the street.…
