Introducing the Tequila Garden: Blue Bat’s Riverfront Summer Escape
Milwaukee, it’s time to sip into something more comfortable.
This summer, Blue Bat Kitchen & Tequilaria is bringing the heat with the grand opening of our Tequila Garden — a vibrant, riverside pop-up experience made for long afternoons, golden hour vibes, and unforgettable nights.
What’s the Tequila Garden, You Ask?
Think craft tequila cocktails, a river breeze, and that sun-soaked energy you’ve been waiting for all winter long. It’s a limited-time-only, open-air oasis right on the Milwaukee River, with expanded patio seating, live local music, and a menu made for snacking and sipping.
This isn’t your average patio. It’s an Instagrammable summer hangout—whether you’re rolling deep with friends, out on a date, or just vibing with a margarita and the music.
Here’s What You’ll Find:
Craft Cocktails like our famous Blue Bat Margarita and Siesta Collins
A limited menu of craveable handhelds & apps
Live music every Friday (5pm - 8pm) & Saturday night (4pm - 7pm)
Unmatched river views & a social summer scene
A photo-worthy atmosphere with plants, pops of color, and plenty of tequila glow
