Big screen TV on the front wall and a whole lot of area to post up and chillax. We caught game 1 of the Bucks against the Celtics and found ourselves in the midst of a serious throw down happening here. Despite the long lines, we found beers and we enjoyed every minute of the game on the big screen in style! Milwaukee style! I love going to the game but something about being outdoors in the Beer Garden in front of the area that made it super special. The energy was unmatched and I was completely blown away that this venue is free to the general public to get in. Not sure if it gets much better than that. I'll be back again to check this mecca of Milwaukee out again!

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.

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!

Stopped by Lakeside Brewery for the vibes for trivia and fish fry basket, and it was exactly what…read moreyou hope for in a classic Milwaukee fish fry. The fish was crispy, hot, and perfectly seasoned -- light enough to enjoy every bite but hearty enough to feel like a real comfort meal. Service was great with a beverage and food line. We also ordered the original and spicy cheese curds, with a soft pretzel. Highly recommend! The homemade ranch deserves its own shoutout. It's rich, tangy, and clearly made in‑house. Easily one of the best ranch dips I've had, and it paired perfectly with the fish and fries. The French fries were golden, crunchy, and fresh -- no soggy fry in sight. Simple, satisfying, and exactly what you want next to a fish fry basket. Great food, great atmosphere, and a spot I'd happily return to. Lakeside Brewery nails the classic Wisconsin fish fry experience.

They've got a solid beer selection, all the staples for a brewery in the US. They've also have a menu with bar staples, including the aforementioned cheese curds, which were delicious - hot and lightly battered, not fried past all recognition. The space is nice, there's a spacious hall with plenty of seating and a multilevel patio in the back with nice views.

This past visit we ordered the cheese board, which also came with a giant pretzel and some bread. Why? I have no idea. The pretzel was cold, and we didn't touch the bread. The cheeses on the board were just slices like you'd find in a deli. There was also lettuce, tomato, red onion and pickles on the side, but why? I have no idea. To make a sandwich? That's not the idea of a cheese board. Our friends ordered the salmon, which came with a side of brussel sprouts. I couldn't get past the color of the sprouts. Barely green. My friend passed on the whole dish. If you're looking to watch a game and grab a beer, this place is great for groups, and service is good. However, if you're looking for dinner too, I'd recommend eating elsewhere.
