Things To Do
Milwaukee Art Museum
Expansive art museum in an iconic Milwaukee building right along the lake.
Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory
Glass domes enclosing plants from around the world. Great for a relaxing walk through greenery.

Café Corazón
Fresh Latin cuisine made using locally-sourced ingredients. Brunch served Saturday and Sunday.
Schlitz Audubon Nature Center
Winter hiking!
Lion's Den Gorge Nature Preserve
Winter hiking! It's a little bit of a drive outside the city, but the views are beautiful!
The Wicked Hop
Bloody Mary with cheese whips? Yes, please. "Milwaukee's Best Bloody Mary." Delicious food and right in the center of everything. Brunch on Saturday and Sunday, plus the bar is open late. Head out to explore the Third Ward neighborhood afterwards!
Lakefront Brewery
Hilarious brewery tour and delicious beer, right on the Milwaukee River! Get the IPA or a Hazy Rabbit.
Great Lakes Distillery & Tasting Room
Local distillery making pretty much all the spirits you could want. Try a tour on Saturday or Sunday afternoon or on Friday night.

Fool's Errand MKE
Located in the Third Ward featuring comfort food favorites, from fried chicken and crispy potatoes to macaroni and cheese and Friday night fish fry.
Red Arrow Park
Winter ice skating! Rent some skates and enjoy skating outside right in the heart of downtown Milwaukee.
Sobelmans on St. Paul
If you're looking for a Bloody Mary with endless fixings options, this is your spot! Cure your inevitable Sunday hangover here.
Pettit National Ice Center
Located just outside the city in West Allis. Free-skate indoors around an olympic skating oval. Rentals available if you don't own your own skates!
Old German Beer Hall
Our officiant can't get enough of this place. Traditional German festival food and Hofbräu beer.
South Shore Terrace Kitchen & Beer Garden
Winter chalets to rent (inexpensive) with lakefront views or fire pit views. They have delicious food and a good variety of drinks available.
Third Space Brewing
One of our favorite breweries! Have a Happy Place or an Upward Spiral. Or both. Add on a Unite The Clans if it's that kind of day. If you're going here, you should also make a stop at City Lights.
City Lights Brewing Co.
Another favorite of ours, right near Third Space. We both really like the Hazy IPA. They have the food you'd expect from a Milwaukee brewery...cheese curds, a giant pretzel...order it all!
Eagle Park Brewing
Another brewery we love! This one has a pretty large tap list of house-made beers. Try a Set List, but definitely read the full menu and see if something else jumps out.
Up-Down MKE
Arcade bar with yummy pizza! There's a TON of classic arcade games, lots of pinball machines, an SNES behind the counter, and a LOT of beer and cocktail options.
Good City Brewing | Downtown
Located in the Deer District, right across the street from the Fiserv Forum. Have a Space Time or a Spare Time. Home is a popular classic. Another brewery that offers the classic Milwaukee menu of cheese curds, fries, burgers, a big pretzel...oh my!
Colectivo Coffee Lakefront
Great spot for a winter pick-me-up along the lake. Grab a hot coffee and take a winter walk along the lakefront. Offers classic coffee shop eats like baked goods, soups, and salads. Stop here Saturday or Sunday morning!
Allie Boy’s Bagelry & Luncheonette
Stop here Saturday or Sunday morning for a bagel or Kevin's favorite, the breakfast sandwich. Add a potato latke to your sandwich!
Ash Milwaukee
Located in the Iron Horse Hotel, a hotel dedicated to the American Industrial Era. Great lunch or brunch spot. Head here for bottomless mimosas on Sunday and then sleep it off until Monday.
Vennture Brew Co
We love hanging out here for both coffee (that Kevin drinks) and beers (that we both drink). It's a great place to just relax and hang out. You'll find us here on a lot of afternoons just relaxing and enjoying the cool space.
Rocket Baby Bakery
This is one of our favorite neighborhood spots down the street from our house in Tosa. Delicious bakery that offers artisanal breads, pastries, and sandwiches made fresh daily. Some of our favorites are the morning bun, savory biscuit, and the breakfast sandwich. Grab a loaf of Tosa Sourdough to take home with you!
Charles E. Fromage
Owned by two former teachers, this wine bar is a gem! One of our favorite neighborhood spots.
