Things To Do
Atwater Park
Our favorite spot for a lazy date! Dan and I loved visiting this scenic outlook overlooking Lake Michigan. It's the perfect sight to lay out a blanket and chat the afternoon away while sipping on something refreshing.
Bryant's Cocktail Lounge
Pop into Milwaukee’s oldest cocktail lounge for phenomenal sips with a twist: no menu. Just tell your server your alcohol of choice + a general flavor profile, and they'll create a custom cocktail that will blow your mind.
Colectivo on the Lakefront
Standard Colectivo coffee, supreme lake view. Make this your first stop of the day so you'll have plenty of energy to dance the night away.
