My husband and I will be spending our 1st anniversary in Milwaukee at the end of August. We are planning to do the brewery tour and Brewer's game for sure but are open for suggestions for other things we could do or places to eat. ?Also looking for recommendations on hotels or areas to stay. Any suggestions are appreciated!?
Re: Milwaukee
Check out the Iron Horse hotel. It's supposed to be fantastic.
I second the Lakefront Brewery tour recommendation. Get there early, as the tours sell out quickly. Great Lakes Distillery (which makes Rehorst vodka and gin as well as some other spirits) is supposed to have a good tour. I'd also recommend checking out the art museum and spending some time along the lakefront if the weather is nice. You can rent paddle boats, bikes, and other things like that.
For restaurants, my recommendations for fine dining would be Lake Park Bistro or Sanford. You can do a chef's tasting menu at Sanford M-F. I also like Coquette, Osteria del Mondo, Palms, and Hinterland. For more casual fare, Ouzo (Greek), Cubanitas (Cuban), Milwaukee Ale House (great craft beer).
Have fun!
If you're looking for a hotel that's a bit different, try checking out the new Aloft hotel on Old World 3rd St.. I haven't been there yet, but from what I've read/seen it looks pretty cool.

As for restaurants, a few of my favorites downtown are www.umamimoto.com and www.charrorestaurante.com <-- Get the Ropa Vieja - SO YUMMY!
Hope you have a nice time!
