Barnacle Bud’s has a great outside patio as well as inside space for dining and gathering. Whenever I go there, it’s just evokes the feeling of being on vacation. Since it is located on the river, boats can dock at the restaurant to visit. The owners of this restaurant also on McKiernan’s bar. They are great people and both businesses are assets to the community.

This location has the same owners as the original Oscars on Pierce Street in Milwaukee. Same great burgers, just more of an updated and restaurant style vibe as well as some different burger combos. You can get a great burger and fries for between 10 and $15. After your meal, head down to CJ’s pub for a beverage. Low-key dive bar atmosphere with super friendly people!

Real chili has been a food staple in Milwaukee, for I don’t know how long! It reminds me of how chili restaurants in Cincinnati serve theirs, comes basic with the chunky meaty chili with optional add-ons, such as noodles, cheese, onions etc.

Years back, I worked with a couple of Mung sisters and they took me to this place, so I could have my first bowl of pho. Best stuff ever! On other visits, I tried some of their other dishes they offer, all were equally tasty and authentic. This restaurant has been in the community for a large amount of years and owned and operated by the same family. This neighborhood is called silver city, it’s very diverse and has a few other Asian type of restaurants that are equally tasty.

OMG is this chicken fabulous! I was at a leadership meeting for the neighborhood and they catered food from chicken palace. They have lots of different options, we were served chicken that was cooked and lightly grilled, a whole chicken basically cut up into quarters, and a few other tasty sides.

One of the original cocktail lounges in Milwaukee. The inside has velvet walls and it’s still classically decorated, with the bartenders wearing formal white shirts and ties. What makes this lounge unique, you order your beverage by flavor, color, frozen or on ice, and they do the rest. For those that want something basic, they do have a small menu with some basic/classic options.

CJ’s, located in the middle of the neighborhood, is a super friendly dive bar. They don’t sell food, but feel free to bring in your own. Every time I’ve gone here the other patrons are always friendly and remind me of a good friend or a great neighbor. Not pretentious at all, a great townhome regular place to visit.

Are stunning. This is a great all-around bar with tons of different micro breweries on tap, as well as awesome pub food. Their pizzas are great as well as their burgers, appetizers, pretty much everything. This is a popular stop to watch, sporting events, as well as grabbing a bite before or after entertainment events or concerts around town. It’s located about a mile and a half south of downtown, very close to Summerfest and other venues.

Chill on the hill, located in the Humboldt, Park band shell, is one of many parks in Milwaukee that offer a night of free music. Just search online for music in the parks. Just like any park in Milwaukee, you are more than welcome to bring a cooler, a blanket, beverages, and enjoy a few hours, listening to music outside.

Hank Aaron Trail is one of my favorites. You can walk it or bicycle on it. It is a paved path, and at the one, and which starts in Milwaukee, you go through a call area near the river and get to go bye the veterans center and see all the old buildings.
