Day 1
Stay at Potawatomi Hotel & Casino

The hotel offers incredible views of the city, award-winning restaurants, slots and table games all in one convenient location.
Did Someone Say Mega Mimosas?
Grab brunch at Tupelo Honey and don’t forget to order the Mega Mimosas! With a delicious brunch menu including traditional brunch favorites and mouthwatering twists on brunch classics like the Siracha Honey Fried Chicken Waffles, this restaurant is the spot to start your weekend. Located in the Historic Third Ward, take a stroll around the many wonderful boutiques and stores to pick up some gifts or treat yourself to a little something special. Make sure to pick up a memento of Milwaukee with a t-shirt, hat, flag, or sticker from 414MKE to rep the 414 everywhere you go.
Treat Yourself!
Then head over to Wauwatosa and treat yourself to all the delicious chocolate shops and bakeries found throughout the area. Stop at Niemann’s Candies & Ice Cream, Ultimate Confections, Tabal Chocolate, Black Twig Bakery, and more for a beautifully crafted sweet treat! Want a different kind of sweet? Unwind at Corvina Wine Bar & Merchant with a glass of your favorite vintage. Savor a curated wine flight or choose from over 50 wines by the glass, alongside delicious tapas and craft cocktails.
Dinner Time!
For dinner, enjoy a flavorful three-course meal with the freshest ingredients at Bacchus. Located in a sleek, stylish space in downtown Milwaukee, the restaurant’s menu emphasizes seasonal ingredients and amazing views of Lake Michigan. Choose from a luxurious selection of the restaurant’s most popular dishes over the past 15 years such as Wagyu Flat Iron Steak, Foie Gras and Blueberry Hibiscus Pavlova.
Dance the Night Away
Experience the energy of live music with a show at Nashville North! Sing and dance to the latest songs or request your favorites! Feeling adventurous? Bar hop your way around the area or find a late-night bite, like Ian’s Pizza. Nothing satisfies a late-night craving quite like a slice of mac n’ cheese pizza.
Day 2
Brunch Everyday
Start your day at Sweet Diner, where you can indulge in delicious brunch favorites in a bright, modern space. Enjoy free-range eggs in omelets and skillets, along with pancakes, waffles and crepes topped with endless possibilities—yes, even Nutella! Pair your meal with a refreshing Bloody Mary, mimosa or fresh-squeezed juices as you soak up the atmosphere beginning at 7:30 a.m. every day.
Fun for All
See some of the best views of the city as you drift down the Milwaukee River on an Edelweiss Cruise into Lake Michigan. Milwaukee's largest variety of public cruise options features the Historic Narrated Boat Tour, Wisconsin Brat Cruise, Sippin' Saturday, Sunday Funday and the famous Fiesta Cruise! If you would rather stay on land, test your aim with axe throwing or play some shuffleboard at NorthSouth Club.
Dinner is Served!
Make your bachelorette weekend unforgettable with dinner at La Merenda, Milwaukee’s fan-favorite tapas bar in Historic Walker's Point. Indulge in a global culinary journey with delicious small plates—from Indonesian sambal goreng udang to Spanish patatas bravas—perfect for sharing with your closest friends. Enjoy complimentary valet parking on select days and gather in their lively space, where every meal becomes a celebration of flavors and friendships!
And I Will Always Love You
Sing the night away with City Tours MKE on their Cruisin’ Karaoke Tour around Milwaukee! With many other tours highlighting Milwaukee’s many dive bars, landmarks, or haunted history, City Tours MKE is a great way to see the city in a quick, easy, and fun way!
Day 3
Brunch with Your Favorites

Serving Upper Midwest-inspired cuisine for weekday lunch, weekend brunch, and family-style dinner, it is consistently rated among the city's best. Stop in for a bite to enjoy ultimate brunch classics like frittatas and avocado toast alongside delicious culinary creations like the Crep-burrito and the broccoli cheddar egg bake.
Fresh-Faced and Clean

Spill the Tea!
You probably wouldn’t want to actually spill tea, but Afternoon Tea at the Pfister is the perfect time to sit down with friends and catch up on the weekend. Pick from over 15 varieties of Rishi tea, then enjoy finger sandwiches and small appetizers as you luxuriate in the warm ambiance and gorgeous views of downtown Milwaukee from the top of the historic Pfister Hotel.
Scented Celebrations
After some delightful afternoon tea, gather your friends at Glassnote Candle Bar for a unique and creative experience. In this charming space, you’ll hand-pour your own all-natural soy wax candles while crafting personalized scents that capture your group's essence and remind you of this perfect girl’s trip. Enjoy the lively atmosphere, complete with a stunning 16-foot zinc bar and eclectic decor, as you celebrate the bachelorette weekend with laughter, creativity and unforgettable memories!
Ending on a Good Meal
