Milwaukee bars know how to throw a party all year ‘round, but are particularly good at it around the holidays. These parties are free to attend and usually include drink specials and free treats, but each tavern has its own seasonal twist.

Here’s a list of bars and when they are hosting. It will get updated regularly and please share with us when your bar’s having a yuletide rager so we can include it.
