Over the years, my dad, David, got me into craft beer, and subsequently I got Melissa hooked as well. Eagle Park is one of our favorite breweries, offering a wide variety of juicy IPA’s, fruited sours, chocolate and espresso flavored stouts, and a killer food menu to match. There other location is near downtown Milwaukee, on Hamilton Street.
One of our favorite restaurants is a hole in the wall in Hales Corners, right down the street from our apartment. The food never disappoints, and the beers on tap are always great as well.
Sensing a beer theme here? The Brass Tap has no shortage, at over 80 on tap at all times. The dining room is also littered with giant flat-screen televisions, and is our favorite spot to catch a Packer game.
This outdoor beer garden offers food, beer, and great views of the city of Milwaukee skyline and Lake Michigan, and sits right near South Shore Yacht club.
The public market is home to lots of local eateries inside, all which have amazing food. One of our favorite spots inside is St. Paul Fish Co., where we always enjoy the shrimp po-boy sandwich.
A chic and stylish rooftop bar in Milwaukee offering fantastic views, and a really good Old Fashioned. One of our favorite spots to grab a cocktail and sit back and enjoy the view.
The area zoo we both grew up going to. Don’t feed the peacocks that roam around!
Tony’s the shopper of the two, and this is his favorite outdoor outlet mall to grab deals at.
A cool old building on the lake is one of our favorite spots to grab coffee. Pathways are on either side of Lincoln Memorial Drive as well, which we like to bike and run on.
Our favorite mom-and-pop cafe. Located in Historic Downtown Greendale, there’s also a couple good pizza places nearby, as well as Southridge, the local shopping mall.
A lakeside park that’s a favorite hiking spot of ours. Take the historic Seven Bridges hike, or go right down to the lake to enjoy a picnic.
Beer and axe throwing? Say no more!
Our things to do page wouldn’t be complete without Kopp’s. An absolute staple for Milwaukee area residents, the best custard around. An additional location is in Brookfield and in Glendale.
Our college burger joint. Absolutely amazing burgers!
Another great ice cream spot. This spot has some odd but delicious flavors, such as whiskey, and beer and pretzels.
