Getting around Milwaukee & Brewer's Games
Uber and Lyft are very prevalent in the area and a great way to get around the various neighborhoods/cities and to the various events throughout the city.
Note that if you are in town for a Brewer's game, there are many bars/pubs that offer free transportation to and from the game (or transportation with purchase of a drink). A few examples include: Steny's Tavern, O'Lydia's, Brat House, Who's On Third
