The Tap Yard is a wonderful beer garden with locations in Brookfield, Waukesha, West Bend, and now this location in downtown Milwaukee! We live near by this river-front spot, so it's safe to say this is our new go-to spot for happy hour drinks and to enjoy the sunny summer weather. We've already walked here a handful of times and it's always offering a good time.
The shipping-container-make-shift-bar (which is really cool), has lots of craft beers on tap. So far we haven't tasted one that we don't enjoy! If you're not a beer drinker, they have you covered with an assortment of hard seltzers available as well. Over the weekend, I tired the Central Waters cranberry one, and it was delightful.
In addition to cold beverages, this sprawling outdoor area has plenty of seating (including umbrellas when needed). Lots of room to meet up with friends, bring your pups, or like us, push and park your stroller. There's also some fun patio games like (giant) bags, connect four, and jenga! I always love when there's on-site activities. PLUS, they have live music some days, trivia on Thursday nights, and rotating food trucks that pull up to feed your belly.
All of this sits along side the river where you can pull up on your boat, or simply watch the kayakers roll by. So enjoyable. You'll be seeing us a lot this summer :) read more
