Milwaukee Outdoor Dining Guide
Summer weather in Milwaukee makes for the perfect time to dine outdoors. Patio and outdoor seating are also a great way to social distance and are considered less risky than indoor dining by CDC guidelines. Supporting local businesses is crucial especially now, but if you don’t feel comfortable eating out just yet, take out options are a great way to show support. We’ve compiled a list of great outdoor eating options throughout the Milwaukee area to check out.
