Mader's Restaurant is an authentic Bavarian German dining destination that has been a Milwaukee institution for over 120 years, located in the heart of downtown on Old World 3rd Street.
Step into Mader's and experience Old World charm in its most immersive form. The restaurant's historic setting features the iconic Knights Bar with full suits of armor, medieval weaponry adorning the walls, and an atmosphere that transports diners back in time. The vibe is decidedly upscale-casual, with warm hospitality and meticulous attention to detail that makes it feel like a genuine Bavarian beer hall rather than a themed restaurant.
The menu showcases authentic Bavarian German cuisine paired with handcrafted drinks, offering both lunch and dinner service throughout the week. Mader's caters to various occasions including corporate events, weddings, and special celebrations with dedicated private dining spaces. Open Monday through Thursday from 11:30am to 9pm, Friday and Saturday until 10pm, and Sunday until 8pm, Mader's represents a true Milwaukee institution and widely recognized "not to be missed destination" that delivers genuine German hospitality and culinary tradition.
