Bachelorette and bachelor parties

Bachelorette and bachelor party plans

A brewery, dinner and the bars, with your own bus between stops for up to 25 of you. Here is a day that works.

A day that works

This sample runs about twelve hours, 2 pm to close: about $1,800 before the driver's tip. The bus is billed by the hour, so trim the day to fit your plan.

  1. 01

    2 pm, pickup

    The bus collects everyone at the rental, the hotel or 3rd Street Retreat.

  2. 02

    3 pm, a brewery tour

    Milwaukee is Brew City. Lakefront Brewery runs daily tours with pours; book ahead.

  3. 03

    6 pm, dinner

    A table at Oak Barrel, or its private room upstairs for the whole group.

  4. 04

    9 pm, the bars, then home

    Old World Third Street and Water Street, then everyone back to the door together at close.

More things to do

  • Two beer mugs raised in a toast at the bar, a ball game on the television behind

    A game or a show

    The Bucks at Fiserv Forum, the Brewers at American Family Field, or a comedy show downtown.

  • A wedding party and their guests on the Milwaukee Riverwalk with the downtown skyline behind them

    The Third Ward and the Riverwalk

    Boutiques, the Milwaukee Public Market and the river, easy on foot while the bus waits.

  • Three friends in Packers gear spraying champagne on the patio outside Who's on Third

    A game at the bar

    A private party

    Your own room at Oak Barrel for games, toasts and a drink before the bus heads out.

Where to eat

Start with one of ours. Oak Barrel Public House pours craft cocktails downstairs and has a private room upstairs for 30 to 180. Who's on Third sits on Old World Third Street, and Who's on Layton is a south-side start near Mitchell Airport.

For a grazing lunch, the Milwaukee Public Market in the Third Ward has something for everyone.
