3 PLACES TO DRINK IN MILWAUKEE IN SPRINGTIME
It’s the first day of spring in Milwaukee, and we just know you’re itching to enjoy a cold one outside in warmer temperatures. Here are three places to partake in Milwaukee for some fine beverages with a side of fun activities to enjoy the springtime.
While the Milwaukee County Zoo is open year-round, it’s so much better during the springtime! With over 190 acres of natural habitat for 3,100 animals, the Milwaukee County Zoo is a great way to spend a beautiful spring day. The best part of your visit? The Bear Garden! Who doesn’t love a play on words? This animalistic twist on the traditional beer garden features a variety of adult-friendly beverages and food. Plan your visit here.
Let’s be honest. Even though it’s “spring,” it’s a good idea to be prepared with an indoor activity for when the weather just doesn’t want to cooperate. For those days, pencil in a brewery tour! Your first stop? The Historic Pabst Brewery. Established in 1844 by Jacob Best Sr., it ran as the largest brewery in America from the late 1800s to 1946. Transport back in time as you tour the famous Blue Ribbon Hall, the brewery offices and Visitors Center. For a list of other interesting breweries to tour, visit here.
Not your backyard, but The Backyard on Kinnickinnic Ave. is a great spring outing. This laid-back bar features an outdoor patio space with plenty of room for yard games like classic bean bag toss. Want to bring your dog? The Backyard is dog-friendly! And if you’re looking to save a little cash, The Backyard even offers grills for patrons to use. Just bring the meat and cooking utensils!
