My favorite beer garden by far! The view is amazing, the beer, wine and food is really good. Fun Yard games, a park for the kids and an opportunity to enjoy our beautiful lakefront. Always a good time.
It's a wonderful place for a beer garden. Being able to be at the lakefront and enjoy an artistic setting with beer, good food, and interesting music is such a plus for a summer evening.
Love this beer garden! Great views of Lake Michigan in a beautiful park. Good selection of beer and wine. And even some food! So worth a visit.
The best setting of any of the Beer Gardens in the MKE CNTY Park system, that includes Estabrook Park. Lake Michigan, the boats, the games, the entertainment, the outdoor seating & atmosphere & the indoor bench seating & socializing are excellent!
Beautiful spot to enjoy the view! Beer was cold and the food was great for the price. Definitely will be back!
Was a beautiful day and the perfect place to be was the south shore terrace. Good beverages right by the lake. Wonderful outdoor area pergola, picnic tables and two fire pits music on wed and sat. Also they have a nice indoor area for inclement weather.
I was there for the first time last night and when a friend of mine called me to meet for dinner I suggested we go there tonight. Great view and friendly service. Highly recommend while the weather is good! �
The beer is cold, the view spectacular, the service great.... We will be back!
I take my grandchildren and my dog to this wonderful friendly park! The addition of the beer/snack garden just adds to the enjoyment .
Good beer. Good food. Nice place to meet friends and have a good time.
Great weather, awesome view, delicious food, variety of beer and other beverages,a wonderful friend to enjoy the day with!
Great place to grab a beer and a bite to eat! Extensive beer and food menu as well as great views of Lake Michigan and downtown Milwaukee. Family friendly atmosphere, nearby playground as well open spaces for kids to run around. Also on the Oak Leaf bike trail, so you can ride your bike here! Plus they have bike racks to secure your bike
There are not enough positive adjectives to describe this place. The staff was amazingly friendly. The food was really good, the views, forget about it, AWESOME!! The beer selection was really good, plus you get to keep the glass. If you are anywhere near here, stop by.

I have been to the South Shore Terrace many times to visit the beer garden and hang out by the lake. Always a good time, and the drink selection is always changing and varied. I have also had the privilege of making photographs at South Shore Terrace with some of my wedding couples, and the place is beautiful. Inside and out, the venue is unique and has no shortage of super photogenic areas to explore. I always look forward to the next time I'll be at South Shore Terrace, either as a Milwaukeean looking to grab an outdoor drink by the lake or as a photographer working with one of the great couples and all the great vendors of this city.

It was very nice and the food was delicious. You can sit inside, on the patio(but you can't see lake Michigan from there) and can sit out on the grassy area right next to the water. They have a good selection of beer and drinks as well as. They have a menu it's not very big but enough to enjoy a lunch or dinner. The fish fry on Fridays is very good and a good portion too. The bathrooms are clean and there is wheelchair access.
Wonderful views, great beer and food! Dog friendly.
This is an informal place next to the lake ideal to drink a beer with friends. They offer a variety of draft and canned beers, and have a food menu of sandwiches and salads. The prices are very reasonable, and the atmosphere during the Summer is very good. There are many outdoor tables with a great view over the lake.
Only in Milwaukee Wisconsin (I think) does the county provide multiple beer gardens as part of its park system! Well, we tried one of them, South Shore Terrace Beer Garden and loved it ! Great selection of beers and food and park setting over looking Lake Michigan. What else could you want ? Service was very friendly and the crowd was having a great time as did our small part of that crowd
Great food great service, amazing view
Beautiful park lakeside, The beer garden is located on the lakeside of the pavilion, and you can access it from the pavilion front by going down the stairs or walking around the building towards the lake. There is outside and inside dining available. We shared a buffalo and bleu burger, which comes with parmesan truffle fries. Ordered an extra round of fries to go with that and it was plenty! We drank delicious Sprecher root beer. $5 a glass, $3 refills. You get to keep the glass to take home. 🥰 It has the names of the Southside beer gardens on it, which includes South Shore Terrace, The Vine at Humboldt Park, and Whitnall Park beer garden.
Located in South Shore Park in Milwaukee on the shore of Lake Michigan. Great food, reasonably priced, and fun atmosphere. The chalets are a fun way to get “outdoors” during the winter.
Cool hangout during nice weather. This place was totally fine as an event venue, but it's nice how they got more out of it.
Lobster roll bites were like crab salad with bread. Everything else we had was good. Nice beer selection. Wings are really big and have some fun sauces. They gave a really long wait time for food, but it ended up being way less in our case. Maybe luck but under-promise, over deliver gets no complaints from me.
Great drink selection on tap, prices are average, food is slightly above average. Atmosphere is 5/5. Come for the patio by the lake, good beer, and good brats. I recommend the brat with a side spiral potato’s, they are very tasty and unique.
Came here for the July 3rd fireworks. Plenty of seating even with the event. Ordered a bacon and Bleu cheeseburger, an appetizer, couple of beers and it came to about $50 with tip. Food was good and the beer was delicious and a bonus to keep the glasses.
Other than the "extra curriculum" smoking going on, which doesn't bother me but we had younger kids with us in the group that weren't fans. All in all we had a good time and will be back again.
This is wonderful pavilion with plenty of spaced out picnic table seating literally a few feet from the lake. Before COVID, many of the tables were inside the personal space of the pavilion. During the cooler months, there is a small glass fire pit that really kicked out some heat. With COVID, they have a seating style with a color system: red means not clean, green means cleaned. And they're really on top of the cleaning!
So, 4 stars because the food is bar food. Nothing special. They don't even give you a very large portion, but damn is it expensive. HOWEVER, if you saw how many people are down at the park, you kinda understand why they jack up the prices. If the prices were more reasonable, they would be overwhelmed. And honestly you can just bring your own sandwiches to the beach or BBQ. But if you wanna feel special, they are very nice here. Great service. Great selection of beer. Decent food (although my son was left hungry). Cool and clean little place. They have beautiful Bay View murals and little fire pits that are going. We spent over 60 bucks for lunch for 3. That's with one beer. And my daughter just got a pretzel and a soda, soooo....
Met my girlfriends there, didn't realize there was a wedding going on... no signs to let you know where to go. Still had a great time, good food, great employees that explained how refills works.
The South Shore Terrace has added more food to their offerings and this is good news for vegans because now they have The Impossible Burger! I am so happy that more and more restaurants are offering this burger to its customers in this city. I am really surprised at this, I have always thought this city wasn't all that progressive when it comes to food (it shines in every other area!), but I am glad to be proven wrong! The Impossible Burger is the best veggie burger I've ever had and now it's in like 4 or 5 restaurants in Milwaukee - that's huge. Now when they add a veggie hot dog to its menu, I'll give South Shore Terrace FIVE STARS! Everything else about this lovely beer garden is super nice. Lots of friendly people to meet and watch, a playground nearby, the lake is right there, dogs, joggers, walkers go right by on the path. South Shore Park and it's Terrace beer garden are wonderful.
