South Shore Park is one of our FAVORITE spots in the city. We walk the dogs here twice a day (we recommend venturing down the Oak Leaf Trail). We also love the Beer Garden with a beautiful view of the city and Lake Michigan, as well as great beer and food. The Farmers Market takes place here every Saturday morning from 8 - 12. Fun fact, Dan proposed at this park while walking the dogs!
You're not coming to Milwaukee without a brewery tour! We recommend booking a tour with Lakefront Brewery for a great time. They have an excellent tour, fun beer hall with great food, and there's often live music on Friday nights to accompany your fish fry and cheese curds. Lakefront Brewery is along the river and the swing park is nearby.
Milwaukee is the home of many different beers, but most notably to us millennials, home to PBR! We recommend this tour for a taste of Milwaukee brewing history. They go into more information than just about our beloved PBR.
This is by far one of our favorite spots for a handcrafted cocktail! They distill their own spirits and you can even take a tour of the distillery. The cocktail menu changes regularly and we haven't had a bad drink yet!
