It’s springtime in Wisconsin. That means it’s time—or almost time—to put away the boots, break out the flip-flops and head outside. As we welcome warmer weather and embrace all things spring, grabbing a bite or a beer on a patio is another item on the to-do list. To help you on your quest to snack, sip and soak up some sun, here are three Milwaukee patios worth your while.

Station No. 6

Located at 6800 W. Becher St., West Allis, Station No. 6 is a craft cocktail and beer bar with a dog-friendly patio open year-round thanks to firepits and infrared heat. That commitment to the outdoors has helped Station No. 6 earn a distinct honor: It’s the highest-rated patio on Yelp®. The food situation includes snacks and an open invitation to bring in takeout from elsewhere. They also host occasional pop-up food events. Learn more at stationno6.com.

Lupi & Iris

Located at 777 N. Van Buren St., Milwaukee, Lupi & Iris is a Mediterranean-inspired fine dining establishment created by James Beard Award-winning chef Adam Siegel. It’s designed with Siegel’s vision for excellence in fine cuisine, exceptional service and elevated design. The menu is French and Italian Riviera-inspired with a focus on refined simplicity and fresh ingredients. And all of it is available on an outdoor patio in the heart of Milwaukee.

Tied House

Located at 124 N. Water St., Milwaukee, Tied House is an adults-only craft cocktail bar in the city’s Historic Third Ward. Known for its year-round patio decorated with seasonal themes, the outdoor space has a vibe all its own. Craft cocktails feature market-fresh ingredients and are designed for the season. It’s drinks only, however, so you’ll have to grab a bite before or after your visit. Learn more at tiedhousemke.com.
