There are too many amazing places in Milwaukee that we can't list them all here! We wish our out of town friends and family could stay forever to explore our favorite city with us!
Here are a few neighborhoods we would recommend visiting throughout the city that have numerous amazing bars, restaurants and activities in walking distance:
• Brady Street - the ceremony will take place at a church on Brady street which is just few blocks away from our first apartment together; there's a huge array of bars and restaurants we like to frequent including: Jack's American Pub (laid back sports bar), The Garage (awesome happy hour deals), Pete's Pub (amazing bar food and drinks), La Masa (sit down dinner with great empanadas)
• Deer District - this is where our reception will take place; there are plenty of fun bars on MLK drive and don't miss the new basketball stadium, the Fiserv Forum (the company that Brendan works at sponsored the new stadium so we are big fans!)
• Third Ward - a 15 minute walk from the Deer District, be sure to check out the Milwaukee Public Market and the many restaurants, bars and hotels; a few notable spots include The Outsider Rooftop Bar at the Kimpton Journeyman hotel & the Harley Davidson Museum

A frequent date spot near Brendan’s post-college bachelor pad, Uncle Wolfie’s is our favorite breakfast in Milwaukee! It’s a small, popular spot perfect for an early morning breakfast with a small group.
If you ask us, Fixture hands down has the best pizza in Milwaukee. Its slightly south of the downtown area but worth the Uber! Brendan and I are both obsessed with the Great Lakes Distillery pizza and they even have gluten free crust.
Dorsia is a fun & funky dinner spot known for its pasta flights. Its in a great location just steps from the many bars of Brady street and was a staple when we lived just a few blocks away.
We love Finks so much we took our engagement pictures there. Head to Finks for cozy vibes, a cocktail and a game of “Shut the Box”!
Camp bar is the epitome of up north Wisconsin. Modeled after the owner's cabin, its a great place to sit next to the fire and grab a drink.
