Drawing upon the rich history of Milwaukee’s craftsmanship we present, Craft. The history of Milwaukee dates to the early 17th and 18th centuries when traders first began to travel through and eventually settle in what is now Milwaukee. Deep European roots brought craftsmen and skilled hands to the area and to this day an ethic of hard work and determination inhabits the spirit of the city. Early on the area was full of coopers, butchers, shoemakers, and farmers. Milwaukee’s beer history started in the 1840’s, driven by the presence of the frontier settlement near the Great Lakes. Immigrants, including Welsh and German settlers, yearned for the native beers of their homelands, so they embarked on making delicious craft beer with techniques from their native countries. Craft features a cuisine including locally sourced foods, hand crafted cocktails, and a vast selection of local beer.

    My husband and I had an amazing experience! The staff was so friendly and helpful and on point! They made my husband’s birthday a night to remember! He was so impressed and felt very special! The staff kept mentioning his birthday and telling him happy birthday! The restaurant even wrote out a birthday card for him by hand! They wrote out “Happy Birthday” on his dessert plate and it was so beautiful and special! The music was amazing! The staff did not rush us out, they did not continuously interrupt us and they let us enjoy our time, our night and personal space. Their presence at our table was perfect and so was the service! They made sure to come back in the perfect exact moment to refill our drinks and ask if we needed anything else. The staff was so friendly and respectful and professional! I loved it! The restaurant is elegant, clean and the bathrooms are as well! Our table was by the window with a beautiful water view! I’m so glad they were able to accommodate everything I asked for and needed to make my husbands birthday so special! We will be going back many more time! Thank you so much Harbor House!
