If you’re looking for a great outdoor place to watch the Brewers home opener on Thursday against the Minnesota Twins, the Iron Horse Hotel has got you covered.
The Walker’s Point hotel’s great outdoor space, called The Yard, is reopening April 1 – no foolin’ – and it will be showing the Crew on its large screen televisions.
There will be beer, burgers and cheese curds, as The Yard opens for business earlier in the season than ever.
You can find menus here for The Yard and for Branded, the hotel’s restaurant.

The Yard will be open, weather permitting, Wednesday-Friday, 3 until 10 p.m.; Saturday, 11-10; and Sunday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
