In Milwaukee, following the local teams may mean settling in at a bar before walking into Fiserv Forum or gathering for a Packers football game. Downtown has venues within walking distance of the arenas; farther south, Walker’s Point adds a stop with shuttles for selected games and concerts. Who’s on Third, Major Goolsby’s and Steny’s Tavern & Grill offer three kinds of plans: screens across the walls, a long-running downtown sports bar, and specials or transportation tied to the schedule.
Who’s on Third is on Old World Third Street, steps from Fiserv Forum and the Deer District, a mixed-use area combining sports, entertainment and urban development. The bar calls itself an official Bucks gathering place and says Brewers fans meet there too; its website advertises TVs on every wall and a projector for major matchups. The menu lists wings, burgers, sandwiches, salads and shareable plates, including beer-battered cheese curds, pretzels and wings with multiple sauces. It also posts weekday happy hour, a private room and shuttles to selected events, subject to the calendar.
A few blocks away, Major Goolsby’s has been tied to downtown sports culture for decades. At 340 W. Kilbourn Avenue, it describes itself as a bar and museum; the business advertises more than 55 HDTVs, four video walls, premium sports packages and broadcasts for games available through those services. Its official menu lists Wisconsin cheddar cheese curds, a Bavarian pretzel, wings, burgers, bratwurst, sandwiches and pork dishes. Prices and specials are posted online, including a Thursday discount programme whose current terms should be confirmed. It is close to UW–Milwaukee Panther Arena and Fiserv Forum, making it a practical meal stop before or after an event; tables fill when games and shows overlap.
Steny’s Tavern & Grill shifts the plan to Walker’s Point, at 800 S. Second Street. Its shuttle calendar lists rides to sports and music events and sets boarding terms: a ten-dollar minimum purchase at the bar and a wristband from staff. The venue also posts seasonal offers for Packers, Badgers and Brewers games. Its kitchen serves pizza, wings, cheese curds, pretzels, smash burgers and sandwiches; its menu and game-day page list selected prices. Steny’s turns the pre-game stop into part of the transport plan, rather than just a meal near downtown.
The best fit depends on the team and itinerary: Who’s on Third and Major Goolsby’s suit visitors near the arenas, while Steny’s offers a shuttle from Walker’s Point on listed dates. Visit Milwaukee describes Deer District as a dining, entertainment and events destination beyond Bucks game nights. MCTS posts routes, schedules and alerts, while the Hop streetcar connects parts of downtown; check the official trip planner for the return journey, especially after a concert or late game. At any of the three venues, confirm the channel, sound, kitchen hours and shuttle for the specific event.
