Our Story

Not just another liquor store.
An experience.

Elwood's Liquor & Tap was born from a simple conviction: Milwaukee deserves a destination where the craft beer enthusiast, the whiskey collector, and the casual cocktail drinker all feel at home.

Located on the water's edge at 1111 N Water St, we've built a space that celebrates the art of the pour. Our shelves are curated with intention — every bottle tells a story, from micro-brewed IPAs from neighboring states to aged bourbons that took a decade to reach perfection.

Whether you're stocking up for a weekend or hunting for that one bottle you've been thinking about since December, our team knows their stuff and isn't afraid to share what they know.
