Paddle Tavern

Super fun experience. The captain and first mate were both nice and personable. We made friends, had drinks, and enjoyed the great views of the city. 10/10 would recommend.

Had the best time for my birthday. We had a super fun, friendly crew and everything was well organized. The coolers on the boat were ready to go with ice and the crew loaded all our drinks on the boat for us while we signed the waivers. We were able to play our own music through the speakers on the boat too, which added to the experience. The only negative was that time flew by too fast! Wish we could’ve been on the boat much longer, but 10/10 would recommend, and would love to do it again!

Captain Tim and first mate Joey we’re absolutely amazing. We went for a bachelorette party and they allowed all music and dancing.. and sang along! They also had a great time with us!! We had so much fun that we wanted to keep going and book another trip. Wow! The crew was so amazing and highly recommend them… REQUEST THEM! Also the boat driving skills were super impressive, no one can parallel park a boat like Tim & Joey!

Captain Kyle and First Mate Craig made our first paddle tavern ride a fun and memorable experience! The boat ride itself was pretty smooth, even though it was windy. I would definitely recommend for your next celebration or for something new to do downtown!

I did this for my bachelorette party yesterday and it was awesome! Captain Kira and First Mate Suzy were incredible. They made sure we had the most enjoyable experience and helped keep a great vibe. Everyone in the group loved it and we would do it again! Thank you!

Amazing experience and so much fun!! Captain Tim and Galileo were amazing!! Great views of Milwaukee from the river.

We had an AWESOME experience on the Milwaukee paddle tavern. I want to first start off with my booking experience. Sara was phenomenal and was straight forward about us booking and being the only people on the pedal tavern with it being a Sunday. She watched closely on other tours and texted me that if we were interested they had a bigger sized party book on a paddle tavern. I was NOT disappointed! I honestly didn't even think about a paddle tour in September due to colder temps. We canceled our pedal tour and booked the paddle tavern. My husband and I were celebrating our 5 year wedding anniversary. We arrived and Mera met us at the gates. She was upbeat and super fun. She told us we got our own private boat that day because the other party had cancelled. When we got on the boat captain Kyle was friendly and very informative! It was like our own private history, architectural and informative tour of Milwaukee! Both Kyle and Mera knew so much and were both super fun!!! We will definitely be coming back with a group of friends to do this again!!! Thank you so much Milwaukee Paddle/Pedal tavern! And a HUGE thank you to Kyle, Mera & Sara for making our experience perfect!

The Tavern was a very fun experience! We were able to book months in advance, and they accommodated an additional person on a private tour a week before our date. The Crew was very welcoming and made it a fun experience! Stopping at the bar at the half way point was a bonus. We wished it could have been longer as everyone had so much fun!

We had such an amazing time with our captain and first mate Ryan! It was such a fun and different experience , we will definitely do it again ! It would be great to rent a private tavern for a birthday or bachelor/bachelorette party too. Highly recommend!

Capt. Gary & First Mate Joey were a pleasure to work with! While we've been down the Milwaukee River a few times, they had fascinating stories and knowledge about the city and the river we've never heard before. Highly recommend for an afternoon outing!
