3-Day Bachelor Weekend Getaway in Milwaukee

Your wedding day is almost here! You’ve booked the venue, caterer and DJ, invited the guests and now all that’s left to do is plan a truly epic bachelor party. With the big day right around the corner, gather the guys for a jam-packed, fun-filled weekend in Milwaukee. To take the stress out of planning, we’ve created an itinerary with everything you need for a perfect bachelor party weekend. 

Day 1

Stay at Potawatomi Hotel & Casino

Check-in at one of Milwaukee’s premier hotels, Potawatomi Casino | Hotel. Just steps away from American Family Field and mere minutes away from Milwaukee’s new Iron District, Potawatomi Casino | Hotel is in the heart of the action. The hotel offers incredible views of the city, award-winning restaurants, slots and table games all in one convenient location.  

Dinner at Saz’s State House Restaurant

Enjoy delectable, fall-off-the-bone ribs, saucy pulled pork sandwiches, and, of course, a Saz’s staple, the locally renowned mozzarella sticks at Saz’s State House Restaurant. Offering BBQ, burgers, fish and more, the restaurant also offers shuttle service to home games throughout the season including Milwaukee Brewers, Milwaukee Bucks and Marquette Golden Eagles as well as concert shuttles throughout the year. Grab a bite at this approachable Milwaukee staple before hopping on the shuttle and heading to the game! 

Game Time!

Whether you’re a fan or just a fan of the game, check out any of Milwaukee’s professional sports teams. Home to MVPs and championship-caliber teams, the city offers NBA basketball, MLB baseball, AHL hockey, indoor soccer and so much more. Take in the electric atmosphere of Deer District Plaza and witness the Milwaukee Bucks as they look to reclaim the title of NBA Champions. Fiserv Forum, which opened in 2017, offers a fan experience second to none with spacious concourses, outstanding sightlines, and a public balcony showcasing a panoramic view of the downtown area. 

Meanwhile, there’s never a rainy day at American Family Field. With a retractable roof, you and the guys can rest easy that the game gets underway on time without the risk of rain delays or cancellations. Enjoy the crack of the bat, feel the roar of the crowd at a Milwaukee Brewers game and cheer on the Crew with your crew. Always a crowd favorite, be sure to catch the famed racing sausages tear around the field in the middle of the 6th inning.

Take the shuttle…or a Detour

Making your way back to Saz’s is a breeze with the game day shuttle. Afterward, gather your Crew and return to the drop-off point just outside the stadium. However, for those with a little bit of an adventurous spirit, the stadium is less than 1.5 miles from City Lights Brewing. A convenient pit stop from Potawatomi Hotel & Casino, the brewery was originally built for the Milwaukee Gas Light Co., creating a unique and inviting space to enjoy a cold one before making your way back to the hotel for the evening.

Day 2

Brunch Time

Rev up day two with a brunch at Fuel Café. Located in the Walker’s Point neighborhood, the restaurant’s breakfast menu offers selections from the Build Your Own Standard to the Hot Chicken and French Toast. Fuel Café also boasts a killer selection of coffee options to give you a little pick-me-up ranging from selections of cold brew, espresso, lattes and, if you’re looking for something a little bit stronger, specialty brunch cocktails like the Coffeetail. 

Harley-Davidson Museum

Rumble on down the road to the Harley-Davidson Museum. The world’s only museum dedicated to the iconic motorcycle brand, the many exhibits throughout the space tell the story of Harley-Davidson’s ascent into a worldwide culture throughout the company’s nearly 120-year-old history. Check out the first ever Harley, Elvis Pressley’s motorcycle and custom builds throughout the museum’s 20-acre, park-like campus.

Seating up to 16 people, book a public or private bar tour of the city and experience some of Milwaukee’s most historic districts and great bars in a unique way. Stopping at 2 or 3 bars throughout the tour, hop on the seat and pedal away! Each stop includes drink specials for Pedal Tavern riders. If you have a group of 7 or more, reach out to the Milwaukee Pedal Tavern and they will start a new time slot. 

NorthSouth Club

Cross climates just by crossing the room at NorthSouth Club. Whether you feel like trying your hand at axe throwing in the tundra’s icy embrace or playing deck shuffleboard on the sunny southern shores, enjoy an afternoon putting your hand-eye coordination to the test and competing against the guys for a chance to be crowned axe-throwing champion or shuffleboard master. Reservations are recommended, but walk-ins are welcome when the space can accommodate.
