Is Westown & Deer District a good place to stay in Milwaukee?

Westown and the Deer District are the good-value place to stay in Milwaukee. Fiserv Forum and the Deer District are a short walk away, Old World Third Street's German food is on the doorstep, and downtown is just across the river.

The area wears Milwaukee's beer history openly. The old Pabst Brewery buildings now hold a hotel and a beer hall, Old World Third Street's sausage makers have been there for generations, and on game nights the Deer District fills with Bucks fans watching on the big screen outside.

The downside is that some streets are quiet away from games and events. The lakefront and the Art Museum are a 20-minute walk east, and there are only a few hotels.

What makes Westown worth it is the value and the beer. You can sleep in a converted brewhouse, eat bratwurst on Old World Third Street and walk to a Bucks game.
