This is a must visit location in Milwaukee. The War Memorial Beer Garden has food from Kegels Inn and beer from Hofbrau Haus. When I visited they were also selling 4 packs of 200 yards brewed by Explorium Brewery. The 200 yards references the distance soldiers had to cross while under heavy fire on the beaches of Normandy. Don't forget to walk through the actual memorial which is impressive.

Good beer, perfect setting by the lake, only downside, all served in plastic glasses..

Cool stop on the lake. We went early on a Friday afternoon and the music was great and the view was awesome. Beers were tasty. The landscaping in the area is well done. Only thing making it a 4 instead of a 5 is that you're sitting in a parking lot.

Don't be shocked if you get there during the listed business hours and it's closed for *insert random reason*.

An absolute damn shame! $15 for a hot dog you would expect to get something of substantial value or quality. You receive none of that here. You get a thin Oscar Meyer Weiner on a cheap bun. The hot dogs look nothing like the photos in the reviews. That's how you know the owner is leaving his own reviews. What a scam. I want my money back!

My daughters and I stopped here after a few hours in the Art Museum. Bartender let me taste a few of the beers before I decided on one and my kids shared a pretzel. We got a table with an umbrella (much needed because it was about 90!). Service was great and we had a beautiful view while we cooled off.

Great stop, don’t go in the lake right there though, lots of fishing hooks in the rocks, found out the hard way after Brewfest ?

Cold, tasty beer on a beautiful warm June afternoon. The pretzel was very good too.Proceeds support a good cause.
