Cozy Igloos, Tents and Heated Patios to Eat at This Winter – Milwaukee Magazine

If youre a Milwaukee foodie, this may be the winter to invest in some extra layers. Some restaurants are doing the same with their outdoor spaces, putting in winterizing investments to extend the small-group dining al fresco of summer and fall into winter. A growing list of restaurants have created extra-cozy outdoor experiences this year.

Here is a selection of them:

600 S. SIXTH ST.

With private, lounge-style rooms in the heated, enclosed patio, guests have access to the featured cocktail and food menus and are encouraged to wear costumes matching their rooms theme and snap photos. Each can host two to six guests for a 90-minute reservation.

W61N480 WASHINGTON AVE., CEDARBURG

Three 12-by-12-foot igloos are set in the fenced patio area, surrounded by lights and festive dcor. Each dome can handle up to six guests and has a slightly different, one-of-a-kind theme. Upon arrival, diners will find a personalized note, a hidden complimentary amuse bouche for their party and cozy blankets. Food and drink (hot cocoa, hot toddies, etc.), will be served family style. A Bluetooth speaker will be provided for folks to play music of their choice.

5901 W. NATIONAL AVE., WEST ALLIS

Converted into a cold-weather Shangri-La, the Kegels Brrr Garden includes seating, gas fire pits and yurts! These tents are available to rent for dinner in two-hour slots (on weekdays) or 90-minute slots (weekends) and can accommodate six to 12 people.

13425 WATERTOWN PLANK RD., ELM GROVE

The Elm Grove breakfast/lunch haunt is embracing the igloo concept and has a patio decorated with lights, holiday trees and a fireplace. Each igloo is heated and can accommodate up to eight people, but nevertheless, you should dress warmly. Guests can order food from the regular and party menus. Igloos are available evenings Wed.-Sat. through February. Reservations at reserveyourigloo.com.

MULTIPLE LOCATIONS

All of the properties Cafs Benelux, Centraal and the Hollanders, along with the Buckatabon Supper Club are tenting and heating their patios for comfort. The courtyard at Centraal, for instance, has a 600-foot heated tent with clear roof panels and a boho-chic dcor (rattan furniture, plants) to transport diners far from chilly Wisconsin.
