About This Adventure

Embark on a unique Sunday brunch adventure through Milwaukee’s vibrant Bloody Mary scene aboard The Hop streetcar. Discover hidden culinary gems in the Historic Third Ward while savoring traditional brunch dishes and expertly crafted drinks. Enjoy a narrated journey filled with local history, delicious food, and engaging stories along the way.

Join us for a Sunday morning brunch-time extravaganza. Explore Milwaukee’s bloody-good brunch scene via The Hop, Milwaukee’s new streetcar. Start your tour in the Historic Third Ward (once known as the Bloody Third Ward) and discover some hidden gems with us while enjoying traditional brunch-time fare, Bloody Marys, and stories of Milwaukee’s past. Who invented the Bloody Mary? Why are there so many variations of the popular drink? These are just a few of the questions to be answered on this narrated Sunday brunch tour. We will ride the streetcar, then walk from the streetcar stations to restaurants along the way, totaling about 1.25 miles of walking. At each of the eateries that we visit, you’ll be able to indulge in the area’s thriving restaurant scene with portions that add up to a meal.

What's Included Guided tour with three stops for a traditional brunch item, each paired with a 6-ounce Bloody Mary, plus a stop for dessert. For those that prefer to not have Bloody Marys on this tour, mimosas, domestic beer or non-alcoholic options can be substituted.
