Your Guide to Fox Point’s Beer-Garden Season (2025)

New Barons Brewing Cooperative teamed up with the Village of Fox Point to bring a beer garden to Longacre Pavilion

The Fox Point Beer Garden at Longacre Pavilion (7343 N. Longacre Rd.) is back!

Get ready for a summer (and a bonus bit of fall) filled with craft beer from New Barons Brewing Cooperative, food-truck flavors, and lakeside sunsets.

The Fox Point Beer Garden returns to Longacre Pavilion in 2025—Friday nights May 23, June 13, June 27, July 11, July 25, August 1, August 8, and August 22 (all 5 – 9 pm).

Plus, the beer garden will also be open three Saturday specials on September 20, September 27, and October 11 (each 2 – 7 pm).

Bring a lawn chair or blanket—the pavilion seating fills up fast—and let the kids roam the adjacent green space while you ease into summer.

How Fox Point’s Beer Garden Took Root

New Baron Coop’s Taps

Fox Point teamed up with community-owned New Barons Brewing Cooperative in 2022, transforming Longacre Pavilion—the winter ice-skating warming house—into a lakeside beer garden on select weekends each summer. The village program quickly became a Friday-night tradition, pairing local craft beer with rotating food trucks and family-friendly live music. In 2024, most sessions ran 5–9 pm on alternating Fridays, with a handful of Saturday festivals—expect a similar cadence this year. Seating is limited; regulars bring lawn chairs or picnic blankets and let kids roam the adjacent green space.

Good to know

• Longacre has restrooms inside the pavilion

• Last call is 30 minutes before closing; carry-in alcohol is prohibited

• Dogs on leash are welcome, and there’s usually water bowls for four-legged friends

Looking Ahead: Traveling Beer Garden Rolls into Fox Point

Craft beer also comes to Fox Point when the Milwaukee County Traveling Beer Garden comes to Fox Point and parks its restored fire-truck bar at Doctors Park from August 6–17, 2025 (weeknights 5–9 pm; weekends & holidays 11 am–9 pm). Expect Sprecher brews, root-beer floats, and evening live music—plus lake-view sunsets from the bluff.

With an early April start and beer gardens in the North Shore all summer long, summer 2025 is shaping up to be the best beer-garden season yet on Milwaukee’s North Shore. Prosit!
