About Estabrook Beer Garden
From Estabrook Beer Garden's own website and its Google listing, read October 1, 2026.
Estabrook Beer Garden is a seasonal beer garden in Estabrook Park, on the banks of the Milwaukee River in Milwaukee. Its website says it is the first public beer garden in the USA since Prohibition. The garden sits on a bluff just above a waterfall.
The beer leans German. The website says it features beer brewed in Germany by the Staatliches Hofbräuhaus, served in dimpled Isar Seidel mugs. It also pours local craft beer, cider, hard seltzer and draft root beer.
Food is kept to the basics. The website lists bratwurst, hot dogs and a giant fresh-baked pretzel. Picnic baskets are welcome, and pizza and sandwich deliveries are allowed.
Open seating is shared, so you may make new friends at your table. The events page lists live music in the park, which the garden sponsors. The park around it has trails, playgrounds, a disc golf course and a dog park.
