This venue provides an exceptional retreat on a scorching summer day. It's surprising to find such an experience in Milwaukee, but it's genuinely enjoyable. I felt transported, enjoying nachos and sipping a margarita as if on a vacation.

Terrible service. I bought one beer for $6 and when they ran my card she brought back a receipt for two mixed drinks for $18. I informed her she charged me for the wrong tab and she apologized and said she would get her manager over to fix it. The manager Joe was worthless. He spent over 30 minutes trying to “fix” it, never once saying a word to me. He finally brings over a receipt showing a refund on the beer. I explained the situation to Joe again. He leaves for 5 more minutes and simply says “it’s taken care of” doesn’t offer a receipt at all. I ask him for one, and he says he can’t find it. So instead he scribbles his name and personal number down and tells me to call him if there’s any issues. I told him I’m not comfortable leaving with only his number and no guarantee they fixed their mistake. Joe says “that’s the best I can do right now”.

Come to find out, they even added a $3 tip to the $18 I was incorrectly charged, so scamming me there again. I have not been refunded for the mistake, and even the beer he claimed to have refunded is still on my card. Joke of an establishment and Joe is a joke of a manager.

These people steal from you. Do not visit here.

The manager or worker with the long shaggy beard was absolutely wasted and reeked of alcohol. Seriously unprofessional. Somebody needs to fire this bum or better yet, get him into detox treatment.

Love visiting Bradford Beach. It's great to see it becoming more accessible via the mat, beach chairs, and wheelchair access points!

Wheelchair accessibility: All terrain beach chairs available for free rental!

This place was overpriced and overrated. The walking taco was an undercooked mess. The drinks were watered down overpriced. The staff was inattentive to important details like making sure that they carded each customer. And if they did they usually seem to forget until after they'd given people at least two or three drinks. There seem to be this unspoken bias against customers with less than attractive facial features. I'm not very rich and I'm not very attractive but I deserve to be treated with the same services everyone else I waited a whole hour for my drink on a very non-busy day. I work at a warehouse so I'm basically there all morning afternoon and going into the evening so I only get a few hours to even visit the beach and by the time I got my drink the sun was already creeping down the sky so I kind of was mad cuz I didn't want to spend my whole time sitting and waiting on a drink

Great if you want a white claw or beer. Don't expect anyone behind the bar to make a decent drink, just bring your own.

You're living the dream when you're here

A prime example of privatization of some of the best public land in the city. The owners that take advantage of this space intended for public use, in direct violation of their contract, should be ashamed.

Just a quick stroll on the lake and thought we’d grab a cocktail at The Dock. Service was great as were the cocktails!

I ordered the ceasar salad and it was awful! The dressing is terrible and the salad consisted of iceberg lettuce (says romaine on the menu) soggy tomatoes and chicken meant for a taco. Definitely not worth the 14 dollars.
