I love the live music, the wine and beer, and the huge pretzels served with Obatzda and sweet honey mustard. I also met The Biermen here last summer when they were performing and now I've followed them around and have seen them a few other times. This place is a great way to make new friends!

While all the tables on the grass were full, the ones in the courtyard were still plentiful. We knew the drill to get in line and order and I even remembered my own pint glass.

We recently swung by the Greenfield Park stop for the new 2025 season. It's been a while since…read morewe've checked out the traveling beer garden since we have many permanent ones in the area but we were happy to check out a new park in the process! The menu hasn't changed much and they do have some things posted on their website (though some pricing is a tad off). It's always exciting to see what they have on tap at each location though. The staff were extremely friendly and quick to get our beers poured and our pretzel ready. They had music playing and some communal games available (bags, giant jenga, etc) on the lawn. It was a little tricky to see which end of the park this was at as there wasn't any guidance online. They mentioned a picnic area 3A on the signage in the park but we couldn't figure out how to get there at first. It would help if they have some of this info online so those unfamiliar with the area can find them a bit easier. Otherwise, always a great space with decent prices and excellent staff. If you bring your own pint glass, you can get the refill price ($7). Or, you can get a new 2025 glass and fill for just $9.

D&V has a great outdoor space and the indoors is intimate and friendly. I love that they carry Trillium (Boston), Phase Three (No. IL) and other standouts from out of state, to amplify the hefty Wisconsin craft beer menu. If you don't know what you want the bar service will ask what you like and recommend a beer, or give you a sample. I've never had a bad time at Draft & Vessel in Shorewood, and the Milwaukee area is all the better for this great bar!

It's great that they offer a few non-beer alternatives for those who prefer our alcohol sans hops. Service was good when I visited. The bartender seemed pretty involved with the patrons already seated inside, but he did what needed to be done efficiently. And yes, it is dog friendly, which is great if you're a dog looking for night out at the bar. I find myself getting a little tired of never finding an animal free patio space anymore - don't get your pitchforks - I love them, but I'm allergic. Also, my cats and I appreciate some "me time" so they're just as glad that I leave then alone when I go out and don't force them to come with me to the bar. I think so dogs might feel the same.

We went to Blu for afternoon tea and it was incredible. From the moment we walked in and saw the…read moreamazing view of the city, we were hooked. We were seated by the window. Our tea package was a gift and as first timers we weren't sure what to expect. We had the option of a mimosa or prosecco to start. While sipping on our prosecco, our tea butler stopped by to present the teas. She did a great job describing everything, it was hard to pick! I went with a tangerine ginger, and my sister went with the vanilla. We both took her recommendations for infusions. You receive a generous amount of tea. The presentation of snacks and treats is beautiful. We had the luxe menu and enjoyed everything. An extra bottle of prosecco had been tacked on and when we were ready, staff popped it open and kept it chilled next to our table. The pianist was lovely. Played great music and also did a round of happy birthday. We were celebrating my birthday so I was gifted a slice of carrot cake which was delicious. While this isn't something you would do all the time, we are already looking forward to coming back for another birthday celebration.

What a taproom environment!…read more It's been a while since I first visited Ope and decided to go back recently. It was packed on a nice summer Saturday with food trucks and everyone enjoying their huge patio with plenty of lawn games and board games. We decided to sit inside the tap room which offers such a large variety of seating styles for everyone to enjoy and making it a great place to meet up with friends. We also enjoyed both their N/A and draft options as they offer such a large variety with options for everyone.

This was the spot to be at for the World Cup watch parties. They had a bg screen outside with some…read moretables chairs and bleachers. It of course got packed for the more popular games. You could definitely still find a spot to watch the game. They have tv's everywhere. Watch the game while you order your drink, you can mingle there or find a different tv. The energy was always good. I often went to the watch parties myself and I still had a good time being around this atmosphere. I saw the longest lines for the Mexico games. The line was moving so slow I don't even think it was worth waiting in the line when you can see the screen from the street. I loved that they blocked off Brady St for the final and added another big screen! I noticed that they had a double rail mixer special for $8. I asked if this included vodka red bulls . A bartender told me yes and I paid $8. Next time I paid $10. The next, $12. Thats pretty normal for a vodka red bull anyways. I was just t about the double rail mixer and I wish the pricing was more consistent. The drinks were good every time. The service was also good. Overall, I would come watch other soccer games here. I wonder if they play the Liga MX games. I guess I'll find out soon since that already started!

The OG burger is a double smashed patty cheeseburger with American cheese, sauteed onions, OG sauce, and their difference maker - fried julienne cut jalapeños! Chicago style house and Freestyle music caught my attention and was a pleasant surprise, adding to a chill atmosphere. The kick from the jalapeños is subtle, but the great flavor they add is less subtle. Their fries are also solid, which matters to me when I want a burger. On Wednesday and Thursday, they serve smoked BBQ dishes until sold out. I tried their rib tips and was impressed by the flavor of the rub and how tender the tips were. The BBQ is served with housemade applesauce, pickles, slaw, and another difference maker - pan-seared sweet potatoes! They're open 7 days a week, so go check them out.
