Stevens Point Brewery

One of the oldest operating breweries in the United States, Point Brewery not only boasts good beer, but they welcome food trucks and furry friends on their outdoor patio! Try their seasonal, citrus flavored Coast Radler or their breezy wheat and fruit Great Outdoors Adventure Ale for the most refreshing feeling after a long, hot, summer day.

 

Tiki Beach Bar and Grill

Located on the Wisconsin River, Tiki Bar is the perfect stop during a day of boating, and features live music every Thursday and Saturday. Relax on their beach, play yard games, rent a paddleboard or canoe, and don't forget the drinks! Sip a specialty cocktail on their patio or cool down with a blended drink while soaking up the sun on the beach. 

 

Central Waters Brewing

With an outdoor patio and fire pit, Central Waters is the perfect place to spend a warm summer night with friends. Sip on their year-round Honey Blonde Ale for a crisp, refreshing taste, or sample something new! You can't go wrong with their Summer Nights Wheat Ale; with flavors of peaches and iced tea it's the perfect beer to drink all summer!

 

O'so Brewing

If you're looking for more rustic, night-time atmosphere, you can't go wrong with O'so Brewing Company. With over 30 beers on draft, homemade pizza, and a patio with fire pits, O'so is perfect for those chillier summer nights. Try their 2026 seasonal beer, Blueberry Wheat Ale, or grab your regular order. Whichever you choose, don't forget to pair with good friends and good laughs!

 

Guu's On Main

Located right downtown, Guu's has it all: good food, good drinks, and a patio perfect for enjoying the summer weather. With 38 tap beers, you're able to order favorite Wisconsin staples or try something new. We recommend their NA Mango Dragonfruit Sour or the Imperial Chaos IPA. If you're in the mood for something different, Guu's has a dozen original cocktails. Try the Campri Sun, a mix of miller high life, grapefruit and lime juices, and campari. No matter what you order, we know you'll be satisfied with the experience.

 

Great Northern Distilling

Known for their original spirits and unique atmosphere, Great Northern Distilling has a specialty drink perfect for you. You can't go wrong with their Raspberry and Grapefruit Mojito, a unique spin on a classic drink. Or try one of their rotating cocktails and find the perfect light, summery flavor for you.

Clear Water Harbor

Located in Waupaca, Clear Water Harbor provides not just beautiful views of the Chain O'Lakes, but also river cruises and live music. Though their beer menu is limited, sip on a glass of wine or one of their specialty cocktails. Feel free to arrive by boat or car, and enjoy their open-air patio or cool down in the air conditioning.
