"Bar Month" at OnMilwaukee is back! For the entire month of March, we're serving up fun articles on bars, clubs and beverages – including guides, the latest trends, bar reviews, the results of our Best of Bars poll and more. Follow along with the #DrinkOnMke hashtag too. Grab a designated driver and dive in!

Barnacle Bud's

The best place to imbibe when the sun's still out (an overcast day is fine, too) is Barnacle Bud's. The riverfront shack has the Floridian feel of a beach-style tiki hut, including an oyster bar and tropical drinks, without the searing sunburn.

Arrive by boat, bike, car or foot, grab a picnic table under an umbrella, leave your shades on and enjoy something delicious, refreshing and colorful. Or just have a beer; you're day drinking by the water anyway, so life is good regardless of what's in your cup.

OnMilwaukee editors' pick: The Nomad

Drinking during the day at The Nomad feels 100 percent natural. Whether you're drinking a brew at the bar, outside in the colorful patio or perched at a table on the corner of Brady and Warren Streets, it's always the perfect combination of refreshing merriment, interaction with fellow day drinkers and people watching.
