Frequently Asked Questions:

Q - Is the rooftop open?

A - The rooftop is available for guests to check out and enjoy a beverage up there. We do our best to staff the rooftop most days of the week, weather permitting. If the rooftop is not staffed nor rented out privately, you may order a drink at the bar and bring it to the rooftop!

Q - Can I bring food on the rooftop?

A - You may order food at our host stand and they will give you a buzzer that signals when your food is ready for pick-up.

Q - Are you dog friendly?

A - Our beer garden is dog friendly! You may order food at our host stand and they will give you a buzzer that signals when your food is ready for pick-up.

Q - Can I buy a 4-pack of beer and drink it in the beer garden?

A - We appreciate you asking, but unfortunately this is not allowed. Buying 4-packs and 6-packs are meant to be drank at home, at a friend's house, or doing a fun outdoor activity!

Q - Do you accept cash?

A - We are a cashless business but do accept credit cards and Apple Pay. If you'd like to leave cash for your server or bartender to show your gratitude for a job well done, then that's fine by us.

Q - Do you host private events?

A - Yes! We've hosted wedding ceremonies, receptions, holiday parties, rehearsal dinners, baby showers, concerts, speed dating events, company happy hours, birthday parties, and we've even had some couples get engaged here! If you're looking to have a private or semi-private event anywhere from 2 people to 700 people, we can chat and make it work. Please reach out to MKEevents@pilotprojectbrewing.com if you want to get more details about availability and food & beverage options.

Q - What about regular reservations? Do you accept those?

A - Absolutely! You can place reservations online via Tock here. Upon finalizing a reservation you'll be sent an email confirmation along with some company policies as well. Reservations with eight or more guests will have their bill on one tab. Groups of six or more are subject to a 20% gratuity. If you are more than 15 minutes late from your reservation time without notifying the restaurant or updating your reservation online, then your reservation is not guaranteed.
