Love it! This should not exist in Milwaukee. It belongs in Key West. Odd to get to by car, easier by boat. Decked out like a tropical beach bar . Decent grog, hamburgers . Fun place...when it's open.
Fish fry & seafood shack by the water. Great hidden spot to have a beer outdoors. Some local brews available. After staying here for the sunset , head to Sugar Maple nearby for 60+ craft beers on tap .
This place has build your own bloody Mary's . And awesome live music on Saturday and Sunday after 2:00. Try the crab cake appetizer it's awesome awesome. Yeah buddy.
Get a seat outside , service is as laid back as everything else about the place. Great oysters , Grouper Reuben is my go-to favorite, but never had a bad meal.
You can only access the restaurant by driving up through some warehouse parking lots or by docking your boat out front.
Perfect for sitting outside if the weather is nice. Tough to find, but worth the adventure!
Sail your boat in a different direction. This here place be overcrowded and the food should be thrown back in the lake .
Nice hidden gem . Great views . The cod fish fry wasn't amazing but the price was right.
Great Patio for the summer, get there early though if you want a good spot
Great place to sit outside in the sun and have a dumpster punch !
Great casual place to dine and enjoy the water side setting.
The best patio on the river...if you can find the place.
Good burgers , great atmosphere, spotty service. You just can't help but love this place.
Service wad beyond ridiculous. My beer sat at the bar for close to 20 minutes before the server Neil brought it over. Crabcakes rock!
Hard to find but a very cool place. Food is not great, but atmosphere makes up for it
For a free drink see Gillian and answer this question; what is a pirates favorite letter in the alphabet?

A favorite place for dinner in Milwaukee! Excellent service, call ahead for reservations for Friday evenings. Food at our last visit was superb, the view of downtown and the lake are fabulous. - Scott Spaulding
Prefer the garden in summer times. Take a seat near by the river. Enjoy the great view of the river, beer, and the live music???? - Ovgu C. O.
