PATIO GUIDE 2020

FIVE GREAT PLACES BEYOND DOWNTOWN

Perhaps the safest social activity we can enjoy during this most unusual summer involves some of life’s simple pleasures: fresh air, friends, a meal and a drink. For many years, the Shepherd Express published our annual Patio Guide at the start of the summer season with recommendations for outdoor eating and drinking during Milwaukee’s precious warm months. We’re pleased to include the Patio Guide in the inaugural issue of our Shepherd Express monthly magazine as part of our ongoing commitment to the city’s cultural life.
