So much fun!!! Quintessential Milwaukee summer time spot!! The beer is great, lots of seating and open space for picnicking. There’s bar food and brats and yes, even a polka band. Bring your own food for a party, or just sit back with a beer! The food is good, and the service is light hearted and quick. Bring your friends from out of town, there’s nothing like an authentic Milwaukee bier garden!!
Beautiful beer garden by the river. Delicious pretzel and bratwurst. Germans knew what they were doing when they settled in milwaukee. Great beer, summertime weather.
Nice outdoor venue with many covered tables. Some have overhead heaters to help with cooler evenings. Riverwest N/A is available. Menu is very limited, but brats are good and soft pretzels are outstanding. Often there is live music, usually solo or a double. Friday fish fry is excellent. Recommended.
Wanted to like it, but the food was terrible. 1 star for the beer, 2 for the atmosphere, but 0 for food. Great space in the park and near the river. Was there while a small polka band played as well. Beer served in steins was also a plus. Our group ordered brats, a hot dog and a giant pretzel. The pretzel was hard as a rock and the brats were fine, but they must have been wrapped up for a while since the buns were all soggy. Daughter did not care for the hot dog either. It’s too bad for what we paid how mediocre it was.
Our experience at this beer garden couldn’t have been better. There was an excellent polka duo playing their uplifting music, setting the atmosphere. Then there were all the happy people enjoying the day. The food was good, too. We were glad to see that our cooler with soft drinks, snacks and water for those of us who’d rather not drink beer was welcome! The area is excellent for a pleasant walk along the Milwaukee River, and there’s an enormous park surrounding the area. Overall, this was a perfect place to relax with friends on a Saturday afternoon.
Okay, so, admittedly, I don’t drink beer, but I couldn’t pass up the atmosphere and location! Visiting from Houston, the Estabrook Beer Garden was such a treat. It’s a super family friendly place with a park nearby, food offerings, and non-alcoholic beverage options. I had a draft root beer! The staff was very gracious, there was plenty of seating both in the sun and shade, and the live polka band was amazing! The overlook to the river was a real gem, too. It was just one of those places that makes you smile!
Wonderful local gem. One of the oldest beer gardens in the country. Small but solid food menu, and they do have wine, soda, and water if you can't drink beer. Right next to the river and a waterfall, as well as a playground for the kids. On weekends they have live music, and it's right by the bike trail.
We came here to celebrate my dad's bday on a Sunday in August. I haven't been in years. It stands the test of time. It's always a good time here.. we got the pretzel combo and several beers
Very nice place to spend an afternoon. We were there on a Sunday and it was relatively busy. The parking lot fills up fast as the beer garden is near the playgound, soccer field, skate park, and there is a path leading down to the river. They also have the Bubblr Bike Rental at the entrance near the parking lot. Great way to spend sometime outdoors!
Very nice on a summer afternoon. Stopped in after playing disc golf, only had a Sommerbeir didn't try the food. Beer was good but it is a little pricey.
