This content is in partnership with The Starling / Pier Garden. Get there this summer!
If you’re looking for a chic dining and craft cocktail experience, Pier Garden at the Starling – found in the Third Ward at 102 N. Water St. – is the place to go this summer.
Recently opened for the season, the pop-up restaurant serves up a gorgeous space filled with alluring decor and a hint of Milwaukee with an MKE sign displayed on the wall. The beautiful venue offers a modern bar with skilled bartenders, all eager to serve you their latest summer cocktails. Find a seat inside – or particularly outside – to enjoy cocktails and a tasty option from their summer menu, whether you pick a plate (like Tall Guy & A Grill’s White Claw tempura-battered fish fry) or share an appetizer with a friend or significant other while you’re dining on a beautiful sunny day.
In addition to offering food, cocktail and beer options, Pier Garden at The Starling will showcase several events and specials throughout the summer. For instance, Tuesday nights host thrilling games of free bingo – and if you’re an industry worker, take advantage of its Wednesday happy hour all night long throughout the summer season.
"Nothing says summer in Milwaukee like dining al fresco," said outside Sales and Events Manager Isabella Perez. "Creative craft cocktails, local beer on tap and special events will make this a must-stop spot on the Third Ward Riverwalk this summer.”
Pier Garden hours will be Tuesday and Wednesday from 4-9 p.m. and Thursday and Friday from 4-10 p.m., with the kitchen closing at 8 p.m. each night.
