"Bar Month" at OnMilwaukee is brought to you by Miller Brewing Company, calling Milwaukee home since 1855. For the entire month of March, we're serving up fun articles on bars, clubs and beverages – including guides, the latest trends, bar reviews, the results of our Best of Bars poll and more. Grab a designated driver and dive in!

Barnacle Bud's

The best place to imbibe when the sun's still out (an overcast day is fine, too) is Barnacle Bud's. The riverfront shack has the Floridian feel of a beach-style tiki hut, including an oyster bar and tropical drinks, without the searing sunburn.

Arrive by boat, bike, car or foot, grab a picnic table under an umbrella, leave your shades on and enjoy something delicious, refreshing and colorful. Or just have a Corona; you're day drinking by the water anyway, so who cares?

The Harbor District is abuzz with activity, and we are certainly curious to see how this effects this Milwaukee gem. We say the more the merrier, but only time will tell.
