Things To Do
Kopp's Frozen Custard
Our favorite stop! Check their website for the flavors of the day! There are multiple locations, all have the same menu, so pick the one closest to where you are staying! Note that the Glendale location has the famous cows in the parking lot. Tip: if ordering food, get in line on the right hand side of the restaurant. If ordering frozen custard only, find the line on the left hand side of the restaurant.
Tied House Milwaukee
An amazing location in the third ward for in house curated cocktails! The patio is decorated with a new theme for each season, and the cocktail menu is updated to match the theme! Note there are no food options available.
Café Benelux
A fantastic place for rooftop drinks and appetizers (or meals!) They have an extensive selection of Belgian beers!
Hawthorne Coffee Roasters
This coffee roastery serves delicious pour overs, cold brew, barrel aged cold brew, all can be sampled in a coffee flight! The coffee shop is located in a renovated bowling alley.
Seven Bridges
If you are in need of some outdoor exploration, check out this trail or any of the trails in Grant Park. This one is particularly beautiful if fall colors are present, but Grant Park also has trails that wind along the lake to offer many more beautiful views.
SmallPie
In need of a quick bite of breakfast and coffee? Smallpie is one of the greatest. The brownies are AMAZING.
Honeypie Cafe
If you are in need of an amazing brunch, check out this spot in Bayview. Check the website for brunch days and hours, and be prepared to wait if going during a busy time!
Sweet Diner
One of our favorite breakfast restaurants in the Third Ward!
Vendetta Coffee Bar
Authentic Italian espresso, some of the best espresso martinis in Milwaukee, and pizza!
Grace Coffee Co.
Stacy loves the london fogs, Eli loves the miel latte. Great food, coffee and tea.
Valentine Coffee Roasters Third Ward
One of our top favorite coffee shops. If you are thinking of taking coffee beans home for a loved one, these would be the ones we would recommend! Try an almond horn for a sweet little treat!
Milwaukee Milkmen
If you’re looking for an entertaining day at the ballpark with family or friends, we love going to Milkmen Games!
Basilica of Saint Josaphat
One of the most beautiful churches in Milwaukee! You can inquire about self guided audio tours in the parish gift shop.
Holy Hill - Basilica and National Shrine of Mary Help of Christians
Beautiful views!!
SafeHouse
Would only recommend if you are up for an adventure or can convince a Milwaukee local to be your guide ;) Serves food and drinks
Anodyne Coffee Roasting Co. | Walker’s Point
We spent a lot of time here planning our wedding! Eli recommends a Honey Bee, Stacy recommends a Frosty.
Bryant's Cocktail Lounge
Can never decide on what kind of cocktail you'd like? Head over to Bryant's and just let the waiter know what kind of mood you're in, the bartender will craft something just for you! We recommend taking an Uber/Lyft here if you visit!
At Random
In the mood for an ice cream cocktail? Retro cocktails? You'll find them here!
