Shorewood

Thanks to recommendations and conversations in the Milwaukee Foodie Facebook group, we've gathered some of the standout Shorewood spots you won't want to miss. Avocado toast from the upcoming Shorewood Farmers Market, anyone?

Bayside and Fox Point

🍻 A doubleheader
Fox Point Beer Garden kicks off Friday, May 23, 5 – 9 pm at Longacre Pavilion with New Barons pours, food trucks, and live music, while the Bayside Beer Garden follows on Saturday, May 24, 3 – 9 pm at Ellsworth Park featuring Torzala Brewing, Atwood BBQ, and a playground steps away. Pack a camp chair, bug spray, and a card (both spots are cash-free) and plan to arrive a bit early—parking fills quickly when the taps start flowing. If you miss this beer garden, there’s plenty more where that came from.

💡 Did you know?

• Riley’s Sandwich Co. opened its original Shorewood sandwich shop in early 2021 after owners Jess and John Ludwig combined their love of over‑the‑top sandwiches with a vision for a truly dog‑friendly hang‑out. Named for their rescue dog, the store was designed so no one ever had to leave their pup outside while grabbing a bite 🐶
