Barnacle Bud's
When it comes to patio drinking, Milwaukee just can't get enough of Barnacle Bud's. Since 2010, it has been voted best patio during bar month.
With the nautical theme and boats, docks and water in sight, it's hard not to love the view from the patio. But that's not the only thing to love about this place. Bud's has live music, delicious seafood and Bloody Marys. There are dozens of tables and plenty of room for you to kick back with your friends and families. As we finish off the Brew City winter, we're already daydreaming about warm summer nights at Barnacle Bud's, just like the rest of you.
The Outsider at Kimpton Journeyman Hotel came in second for the voters, but was first with OnMilwaukee editors.
OnMilwaukee editors' pick: The Outsider at Kimpton Journeyman Hotel
Runners up: This year we also asked a variety of prominent Milwaukeeans to weigh in on their pick for specific categories. For this category, we consulted Angela Damiani, President of Newaukee. Angela Damiani's pick: Harbor House
Harbor House's patio is unparalleled, with views of the lake, the city skyline and, of course, the delicious seafood. There's simply nothing else like it.
