After a successful first season during the pandemic last year, South Shore Terrace is bringing back its winter chalets.
The 10 chalets will return on Black Friday, Nov. 26.
Though the Bay View beer garden, which overlooks Lake Michigan, closed on Oct. 31, it will reopen for chalet season, which runs through Jan. 31.
The six-person chalets are warmed, but not heated, so a winter gear and a blanket are recommended.
Reservations for 90-minute timeslots are open now here.
The cost is $80 per 90-minute slot, which includes a $40 food and beverage credit.
In addition to beer and non-alcoholic beverages, the beer garden offers a menu of warming comfort food.
According to a Facebook post, "Currently putting the finishing touches on our winter beer garden menu. But do know we appreciated everyone's feedback and have made some big changes going into the second season Stay tuned for more info in the next few weeks."
Proceeds from beer gardens sales benefit the Milwaukee County Parks.
"We know that families want to get outside and enjoy the parks no matter the weather, and a winter beer garden has been a popular request for quite a while,” said Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley when the chalets debuted in 2020.
“These chalets provide a unique and safe way to enjoy Lake Michigan views, and a meal, in the winter."
According to the Facebook post, South Shore Terrace is planning a promotion to win a free rental. Details are expected to be announced soon.
