Things to Do
Places you should go . . .
Lakeshore State Park
Walk along Lake Michigan, and then loop around to the river. This our favorite walk, and accessible from downtown!
Pabst Mansion
You don't even have to like PBR to still enjoy this tour of Captain Pabst's 1892 mansion. The tour provides not only the history of the creation of Pabst, but also offers a window into the German roots of Milwaukee. Prost!
Best Place at the Historic Pabst Brewery
Tours available
Lakefront Brewery
Milwaukee's best brewery tour! And the best fried cheese curds in the city.
CWO Kayak Rental - MKE Public Market
Kayak along the Milwaukee River, and past the beautiful Third Ward waterfront
Restaurants/Bars
Sweet Diner
A fantastic brunch option in the Third Ward
Toast
The first place Marcus and I ate breakfast on our first day in Milwaukee, before we were totally moved in. They have a great brunch menu, located in Walker's Point.
Merriment Social
Brunch, lunch, dinner! You have to try their baked cheese curds! The best in the city.
DanDan
Our favorite Third Ward restaurant of all. We recommend the beef chow fun, happy chicken, and/or the cauliflower.
Central Standard Crafthouse & Kitchen & Craft Distillery
This is our favorite distillery and the best place for creative midwestern cocktails. They also have a rooftop!
The Explorium Brewpub Third Ward
Our neighborhood go-to place (literally in our building, haha). Great for pizza, burgers, wings, curds, pretzels, salads, brews... they have it all and it's good.
The Outsider
Rooftop with Milwaukee views
Kopp's Frozen Custard
Look up the week's "flavor preview." Kopp's is a Milwaukee classic for custard--a Wisconsin delicacy. They change the flavors each day! https://kopps.com/flavor-preview
