Central Standard Crafthouse & Kitchen

Central Standard Crafthouse and Kitchen is a multi-level craft distillery, restaurant, and rooftop bar occupying a beautifully renovated 11,700-square-foot building in downtown Milwaukee. The crown jewel of the space is The Aviary, an open-air rooftop patio offering sweeping views of the Milwaukee skyline alongside award-winning cocktails crafted with Central Standard's own house-distilled spirits, including the beloved Wisconsin Old Fashioned and Milwaukee Mule. The rooftop operates seasonally on a first-come, first-served basis and serves as the perfect setting for soaking in the sun and city panorama over a well-made drink. Below, the Crafthouse restaurant offers an elevated scratch kitchen menu for those seeking a full dining experience, while basement distillery tours give visitors an inside look at the craft spirits production that underpins every cocktail served. Central Standard has become a beloved Milwaukee institution celebrating local craftsmanship and community.
