ABOUT THIS DISTILLERY

Milwaukee's Craft Spirit Pioneer Without Downtown Hassles

Still & Oak is Great Lakes Distillery’s West Allis tasting room, bringing Milwaukee’s craft spirit scene to the suburbs. While Great Lakes does their main production and tours at the downtown Milwaukee location, this spot focuses on what they do best—letting you taste their stuff without fighting for parking downtown. You’ll find their full lineup of spirits here, from their flagship gin to bourbon and specialty releases. It’s more laid-back than the main distillery, with a neighborhood feel that makes it easy to settle in and actually taste what you’re drinking. The space doubles as both tasting room and bottle shop, so you can try before you buy or just grab what you know you like.

WHAT SETS THEM APART

Wisconsin's First Craft Distillery In Your Neighborhood

This is Great Lakes Distillery’s suburban outpost, giving you access to Milwaukee’s oldest craft distillery without dealing with downtown hassles. They’re known for being one of the first craft distilleries in Wisconsin, and their gin game is particularly strong.

THE VISITOR EXPERIENCE

Relaxed Tasting Room Real Spirit Knowledge

The atmosphere is relaxed and neighborhood-friendly, less touristy than the main distillery location. Staff knows their spirits well and can guide you through tastings without the rushed feel you sometimes get at busier spots.

IS IT WORTH VISITING

Skip the Crowds Find the Spirits

If you’re exploring Milwaukee’s craft spirit scene but want to skip downtown crowds, this works well. It’s especially good if you’re curious about Great Lakes’ products but prefer a quieter tasting experience.

⚠️ VISITING TIPS

Check their hours before heading over since tasting room schedules can be different from the main distillery. If you want the full production tour experience, you’ll need to visit their main Milwaukee location instead. The bottle selection here is solid, and you can often find spirits that might be harder to track down in regular liquor stores. Parking is easier than downtown, which is honestly half the appeal.
