We come to Barrel Yard after a tour of American Family Field and it, much like the tour, did not disappoint! We ordered the sample and a summer shandy. Both were absolutely fantastic. The service was great and what can you possibly pair with great food and great beer...well how about a great view of an awesome ballpark?!

Big Tex burger with loaded potato salad

Went for a brewer game and decided we wanted better than the average stadium food. We weren't disappointed. We probably paid the same as we would have at the stadium food counters but was much better. I had the Big Tex burger with bacon, cheese and avocado with a side of loaded potato salad; both were delicious. My wife enjoyed her grilled caprisi chicken sandwich. Nice selections of beer and mixed drinks. Nice regular IPA. Didn't appreciate the tropical ipa though. Friendly service and relaxing atmosphere prior to game.

We stopped in before the Brewers game started and was pleasantly surprised. There was a wait to be seated, but we were fortunate to find two seats at the bar. Service was excellent. There were 3 bartenders and each one was very attentive and they worked so well together to ensure each customer was taken care of. They had a variety of beers on tap, lagers, IPAs and shandies. My husband tried the summer shandy and the Raspberry Wheat- it is only available here. He enjoyed both. They serve drinks in aluminum cups , which retains the coldness. They offered water in the cool aluminum cups for us to take to go, which I appreciated. They have an extensive menu and many food options, but we only ordered cheese curds. They were beer battered and lightly fried. This was a pleasant surprise and was not your typical ballpark food or service.

If you're headed to a Brewers game, make sure you stop by Barrel Yard--it's totally worth it. I grabbed a beer there during the game and was super impressed. The staff was really friendly and even let us try a couple samples so we could figure out which one we liked best. You don't always get that kind of service at a ballpark. And the beer? It came in these cool aluminum cups that actually kept it cold the whole time, which was awesome. No warm, flat sips halfway through. For the quality, the experience, and the vibe, I'd say the price was totally fair. Definitely adding this to my game day routine.

Had a great time stopping by Barrel Yard (located in the Brewer's Stadium). I love the option to sit outside to have a full field view, there is also plenty of indoor/bar seating as well. Our server was very kind and attentive which I appreciated. I tried the mac n cheese with pulled pork and it was really delicious! It was a big portion size- definitely worth it. I also liked how flavorful and non-greasy it was. My boyfriend also really enjoyed his smash burger. Definitely recommend stopping by, especially during Brewers games!

Nice establishment inside the Milwaukee Brewers ballfield. Mostly serves sports bar food. All the food that was ordered was outstanding. Staff is well engaged with the customers during the cups are full, and all manners are attended to.

Flight option.

Was at the season opener had a chance to talk to the brewmaster and she was so nice to talk to. Her cranberry ginger shandy was so good I went back the next day to buy the 32oz cans you can only buy on non game days. It's a must try before it's gone..

Went to attend an OnMilwaukee Squad event and stayed longer to grab more than just a quick bite but actually a full dinner. The brat flight was too interesting to pass up! Honestly perfect to split this flight features three unique flavored brats! The tailgate was the favorite followed by the Eastern! Loved the view of the ballpark!

Euchre burger

Had a nice first visit here. They have plenty of free parking in the off season. The place was fairly open and really stretched pretty far back so even more room to accommodate large groups. We were seated quickly and asked for our drink order right away. On Saturday, they had $1 wings and $5 pints. Pretty great deal considering the prices on their menu. Our server was friendly and attentive. We ordered the burger and chicken littles and both were good sized portions. The biscuits for the chicken littles were pretty hard though and tough to eat. Heard the burger was pretty good. Would definitely go back and enjoy an afternoon with a good view and play some board games they have available.

Beer

What a neat place!!! We were visiting from out of town and during our planning we saw you could come here, even on non game days. We arrived, and the place was pretty busy. With not many seat options, we sat at the bar with no issues as we typically love to sit at the bar anyway. We were quickly greeted by Andrew, who just as quickly grabbed us our beer. While sitting, we noticed there was a door leading to the field area. We asked Andrew if it would be possible to go get a picture of us with the field. He said absolutely and led the way, and he took a couple of pictures for us. We were not super hungry, so we only ordered a small snack. Since we were in Wisconsin, we had to order some curds. They were brought out and looked amazing. Perfectly breaded and fried just right. They were equally as tasty. While enjoying a couple more beers, we noticed they were setting up for an event. At one point, we were even asked to move down a row to accommodate the speakers of the event. Of course, we did so, but slightly annoyed. Why let us sit there in the first place?!?! Eventually, the event started. It was an event for I believe annual ticket holders for the baseball team that featured the three head brewers for Leinenkugel 's. And they were having a beer release party. So a pretty cool event...if you are actually being able to participate in the event. We sat at the bar and drank our beers and enjoyed the company of Andrew and Sarah. It was slightly annoying, though, as the event was rather loud. We think they should have either closed the place just for the event or at least had a sign up at the host/hostess stand. At the end of the day, it didn't ruin our time here, just a little annoying. We had a great time and really enjoyed Andrew and his beer knowledge, and we for sure would come back. We enjoyed their nice beer selection and bartenders. It is worth noting that the prices are very reasonable and parking is free, on non games days. We did ask, and on game days, the prices are significantly higher, and of course, admission would be required, as well as parking. Be sure to check place out.

I've been to barrel yard a few times, this time for a friends birthday. We booked the tinsel room and the room itself is super cute! The decor was great and the private room aspect was nice, it was great that the package included a drink per person. I had the holiday spritz, which was pretty good! The one issue was the service was fairly slow...you only get 90 minutes in the room, so the slow service really affected the experience. We moved outside and ordered some food - the food was alright, but they didn't cook the jalapeño dip that was ordered. They did offer to throw it back into the oven, but it never should've been served that way and a new one should've been offered. Overall the space was cute, and my experiences at barrel yard previously have been pretty good! It's definitely a good place to hangout on game day.

2 piece fried chicken dinner (all around not good).

I had such high hopes for Barrel Yard and was looking forward to dining here with some out of town guests, but was pretty let down. The positives: The interior is a nice change from what it used to be and love the fish mural. Our server, I believe her name was Fayth was great. The pretzels were some of the best we have had and loved the mustard and cheese that came with it. Now to the not so positives: The cheese curds were super greasy We were the only table there and it took a really long time to get our food. The fried chicken was probably the worst I've had: the breading was super heavy, the skin underneath the breading was not crispy at all and the chicken was tough and tasted strange. The "biscuit" that accompanied it should not be called a biscuit; it was more like a roll; definitely not what I think a biscuit should be. The roast beef on the roast beef sandwich was super bland. Sadly, I don't think we will be back.

 BEER CHEESE & HORSERADISH MUSTARD

The million dollar view. In my opinion this is one of the best seats in house! You can see the entire field obstruction free. The chairs are really crammed in around the tables, but you still have more room then you would elsewhere in the stadium. We have sat in these seats a number of times prior to the re-branding at the end of last season and had never been disappointed in a thing. This experience was different. Our service was terrible! We had to flag down our server every single time we needed to order something and he, Vince, did not once check on us. When we sat down we waited 20 minutes before he first came to the table and that was the last time he came to the table on his own. Now the food, the pretzel is usually an obvious choice - good, filling, and hard to mess up. Well it was cold, not once, but TWICE! In the end it was removed from our bill. The churro donuts however, were amazing. We ended up ordering it again because everyone wanted more! The mile high cake was also very good and WOW look how big that slice is - giant! We had to take some home with us.

The ceiling is really beautiful curved wood too. I thought the staff did a great job serving this big event - all wonderfully kind and it seemed like there weren't any hiccups. I believe Saz's is the catering partner of this venue, and they did a great job. The outdoor beer garden space was wonderful too. Tons of picnic tables, a huge bar, and lots of sunshine to soak up on the beautiful day that it was. When you're in the beer garden area, you can get an even better view of the lake anddd the city skyline. Overall I'd say this is a delightful venue for events!

It's a touch of tranquil in the busy surrounding Downtown. I loved looking at all of the different fauna and flowers. I only wish they had the signs saying what type of plant it was. There are a series of paths, a few fountains, and some nice areas where you can relax. They rent out the gardens for parties and weddings.

Now this is a smaller program that I put on so I'll compare it to just the same program and even with that smoothest experience! First off the space was perfect for our dinner program of 60 guests. This is a networking/educational event so we also have an exhibit hall with pharma partners the bar side of the space was perfect for our limited 6 exhibitors. It was a gorgeous evening so we had a few tables outside and had the big door open to the dinner space to have an inviting entrance during the cocktail/welcome hour with the registration table right inside that door (which we then converted into the dessert and coffee table). I had a wonderful time working with Janelle when we did a walkthrough she helped in selecting the linen to match our marketing materials for the event and we worked through nice weather layout plan versus hot weather! Her bar team did a wonderful job with our special drink request (again to match the theme for Menopause the topic of the talk). Janelle was also so helpful with set up I've never had assistance like that and I really appreciated it! She was also very hands on throughout the event like a full second the whole time even managing communication with the catering team so I could continue doing what I needed to for the event. The presentation set up was perfect with a super large screen the linen draped on the side was gorgeous.

Kind of hidden away on the third floor of a building in the third ward, Cuvée manages to pull off landing on the right side of the fine line between pricey-elegant and extortionate-pretentious. If you're a champagne buff, I'm sure this place is for you. Personally, I'm partial to $6 bottles of sparkling wine from Trader Joes so the good stuff is foreign to me, but the slightly more affordable cocktails combined with great atmosphere and character gives me exactly what I need when I can't handle being around the rowdier weekend crowds. The champagne cocktails are inventive, flavorful and reasonably pricy without being a rip off. I would definitely recommend the Asian Persuasion. It's a champagne cocktail that tastes like Chinese food (I'm serious), and it's amazing (deathly serious). If you're not in the mood for champagne, they probably have the best Dark and Stormy I've had, so get on it. The crowd is laid back, the music is mellow and the ambience is chilled and friendly (first time there I got talking to a fellow "soccer" fan who was married to someone with my wife's exact name. It was cool/creepy/suspicious - haven't decided yet). The only downside to the place is that it seems to be a crapshoot to figure out when it's actually open. They're a popular venue for weddings so shut down to the public on many weekend nights. Boooo, cos it's awesome and I'm selfish.

Angry?! I was both. I finally called to ask if the hours had changed. It's not that the hours have changed, per say, but the business has changed. The New business model is event space only and no longer open to the public. Whilst this makes me incredibly sad as that was my hidden spot and the only champagne bar in Milwaukee it's bittersweet because of course a great success for the business in that they have enough event reservations to sustain it alone. Will someone else please open a champagne bar? (with bigger glasses -- now I know I'm asking too much!) Cuvee was one of my places... my hidden places to take people for the first time because I always knew 9 times out of 10 no one knew about it. The access to the building from the street was a complete mystery and an adventure on it's own as people would ask: "Where are you taking me". Silence I would remain... for I didn't want to take away from the journey. Oh and also, I quite simply love, love, love champagne. My only issue with champagne is the tiny, skinny little glass that it comes in. Makes me sad just thinking about the littleness of a champagne glass... *tears up*
