South Shore Terrace Kitchen & Beer Garden Opening for Season on Thursday, April 13

MILWAUKEE, WI — Milwaukee County officials will tap a ceremonial keg to kick off the beer-garden season, Thursday, April 13 at 4 p.m., rain or shine, at the Miller 1855 Bar at South Shore Terrace Kitchen & Beer Garden.

Free beer and root beer will be served while the supply lasts.

Noah John & Ringing Iron, a classic bluegrass band, will perform at the opening from 4–8 p.m. The band offers a unique blend of traditional bluegrass, gospel, country, Americana, and folk.

Since August 2015, the beachside beer garden has been a popular gathering place for area residents. From spring through fall, families come to enjoy the view, to have a beverage and snack, to visit with friends, and, on Wednesdays, to listen to live music.

To further enhance the experience at South Shore Terrace, Milwaukee County Parks has made improvements for the 2017 season. Installation of a commercial kitchen means expanded menu selections for patrons, and the addition of keg tables and benches has expanded the seating options.

Guests may also enjoy Miller High Life battered Clock Shadow Creamery cheese curds, Milwaukee Pretzel Co. pretzels, and Usinger’s famous sausages. A traditional Milwaukee fish fry will be served Friday nights. Beverages include on-tap beers served in souvenir glass pints and steins, which can be refilled at a discount at the Miller 1855 Bar, any of the Parks Traveling Beer Garden stops, and the Whitnall Park Beer Garden. Items may be purchased with cash only. The style and backstory of the new tables and seating add to the charm of the facility.

Public hours at South Shore Terrace are Wednesday through Friday, from 4–10 p.m.; Saturdays and Sundays, from 11 a.m. –10 p.m.

With its focus on Lake Michigan, the beer garden is located in Bay View’s South Shore Park, 2900 S. Shore Drive. The facility is available for private events Mondays and Tuesdays, all day, and for events ending before 4 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays.
