Milwaukee's best patio, 2008: Milwaukee Ale House
The race for Best Patio, 2008, was close. But, the Milwaukee Ale House won out over 2007 winner Trocadero. The Ale House, with its picturesque location on the Milwaukee River, gives diners and drinkers a spectacular backdrop to conduct the pursuit of merriment. (The craft beer selection doesn't hurt, either).

The Bayou is born
Along the banks of the Milwaukee River a bold new dining experience is taking shape. Bayou restaurant and lounge, 2060 N. Humboldt Ave, won’t be the city's first Cajun restaurant, but it will certainly be something different than what's we've seen.
