Despite walking by this spot numerous…read moretimes on ways to Bucks games during winter, I didnt understand or appreciate its true potential until the playoffs started. The beer garden, located off 3rd street next to the loaded slate, features picnic tables in front of a huge 26 foot screen. a plexiglas roof up above let's you see the sky but keeps out the elements (I watched one of the first round games during a downpour and was just fine). You dont have to buy - so it's free but if you buy a drink at the actual "beer garden" stand, theres free popcorn with your purchase. Theres also various drink and food stands .. auntie Annie's has a pretzel truck and lots of people were bringing pizza from Brick 3 on 3rd st. Security (you'll see them in bright yellow vests) has done a good job letting everyone have a good time but taking care of problems (dont be8 standing on the picnic tables please.) I've only watched away games here but walking through the area to go into the forum for game 1 of the semi finals I could tell the energy would be crazy there even for home games. it's a great option if you dont have a ticket. It does truly feel like "Milwaukees living room" The tables are communal - you'll definitely make some new friends, and the energy is just off the charts. I love how all eyes are on the tv and everyone will start chanting "MVP" or "DE-FENCE" like were actually at the game. Bango, the dancers, the drum line and other members of the bucks crew usually make an appearance on a final side note....Over 15 years ago I lamented the tearing down of the old Park East freeway and my easy freeway access....it took over 15 years, but the promise and potential of this part of the city and downtown is finally starting to be fulfilled with the Deer District.

The location is convenient because it is a 5-minute walk from the art museum and you get the lake view. We had the Uber app platter and hofbraus. The Uber app platter came with a huge pretzel, cheese, sausage bites, bacon schmear, and fresh cheese curds. They were not kidding when they said the amount is good for 3-4 people. Everything on this platter was spot on, especially the giant pretzel! The hofbrau is a 9-inch chicken bratwurst with bacon schmear, sweet relish, and diced red onions. It's your standard German fare and worth a try.

We parked in a little cul de sac just outside the park and wandered up to the beer garden. It was a BEAUTIFUL sunshiney November day with surprisingly warm weather. Despite this, it was pretty quiet here, making me think Hubbard Park Beer Garden may still be one of MKE's best kept secret. We were greeted by picnic tables and igloos scattered among the trees and fall leaves. We ordered at a little walk-up cabin window. The staff working was pleasant, welcoming, and explained that we are given a chip with our steins of beer, and once returned we receive $5! This was a great way to encourage everyone to return the steins and clean up after themselves to keep the park clean. They were all out of cider so I went with a spotted cow, a Wisconsin favorite. This was my first time trying out spotted cow and I have to say, I understand the hype now. I ordered the soft pretzel as well which was delicious! We sat at a picnic table with the pups and enjoyed one of our last warmer days outside before winter hits. It was a perfect afternoon here at Hubbard Park, and I hope to back next fall!

This beer garden has a full kitchen, with some really great food, from sandwiches to wings to one of the best fish fries in the city. And of course there's no shortage of beer, and they have their own South Shore Amber, which is one of my favorites. Located right off the Oak Leaf Trail, it's a very easily accessible by bike. This is one of the best places to hang out in summer in Milwaukee. They have a lot of picnic tables, and a little beach area nearby if you want to take a dip. Beautiful views, great beer and amazing food. This is what summer in Milwaukee is all about!

For the sausage platter, he bought three buns since they did not come with buns. These were $2 each. Next time, I don't think we would need to order any buns since it is already a lot of food. We left this place stuffed! Would definitely come back!
