Local Recommendations
Lakefront Brewery
We love their beer and their cheese curds. The tours are great fun and worth planning in advance!
Eagle Park Brewing Company
A great craft brewery with rotating taps, great food, and a lovely outdoor patio. We love their sours and specialty brews.
The Explorium Brewpub Third Ward
The place Kyle met Caroline's parents and eventually asked for their blessing. We enjoy their sandwiches and flatbreads. Make a reservation and sample beer or warm up by their outdoor firepit.
People’s Park
A fun restaurant known for its rooftop patio and well crafted menu. Located in the heart of Waukesha, we've enjoyed more than a few dates sipping on seasonal cocktails.
Kanpai Izakaya
Sushi far from the ocean sounds like an interesting proposition, but make no mistake, the chefs at Kanpai make some of the best sushi in Milwaukee. Their MKE roll is absolutely delicious and our personal favorite.
Lapham Peak Observation Tower
With the beauitful fall colors sure to be in season, pay the day access fee and go for a lovely stroll around Lapham peak. Use the firewatcher tower at the top of the park to look out upon the Kettle Moraine Forest! We've enjoyed beers at the base of the tower after a long day of hiking.
Kopp's Frozen Custard
A quintessential stop for any Midwest visit, Kopp's is a burger and custard spot best known for it's pair of daily custard flavors. We are frequent visitors here and love their tiramisu and cookie dough days. Be sure to look this one up in advance!
