Wake up, boterbloem! (That's Dutch for buttercup. 🌼) Great news - we've got an extra day of brunch to cap off your long weekend! Happening today from 8am-2pm in honor of Labor Day.

The back to school frenzy is real. With summer winding down and sports winding up, we understand the struggle to meal plan and prep and pack. Let us do the work for you. 💛 Our kids meals are $7.95 and make a perfect lunch or after-school snack. Bring the whole fam in or order to go!

Our taps rotate fairly regularly, and you can stay in the know by checking our bier list online here: cafecentraal.com/menus 🍺 New to the lineup this season is our OKTOBERFEST curation! 3 Sheeps Oktoberfest, Benediktiner Festbier, Spaten Oktoberfest, Raised Grain Doktoberfest, Great Lakes Oktoberfest. Try all five in a flight for $11.50!

Another year, another great donation made to Children's Wisconsin! Honored to participate in this tradition & give back to our community. 🤍

The results are in! Our 5th annual "Do Good with Food" fundraiser raised $72,367 for Children's Wisconsin! We are so proud to help make this year’s event the most successful yet, with the support of the 43 participating restaurants. A huge thank you to all who dined with them on August 22!

Every dollar raised will support Children’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Emergency Department and Trauma Center and the Nourishing Partners Program. To learn more about the kids and families we’re helping, visit www.giving.childrenswi.org.

We do traditional bier flights a little differently around here... Our flights are called curations and that's because we take the time to find some commonality between all five biers. One might call that... Curated. 😉 For example, you can grab our "Don't Worry, Be Hoppy" curation, which features five unique IPAs. Our "'Tis the Saison" curation is exactly that: a group of expertly brewed farmhouse ales. And we've got a "Resting Brunch Face" curation, a "Local Love" curation, and a worldly curation aptly named "Around the World in One Flight."

Your next date night can be spent with us and Milwaukee Comedy! Wednesday, July 31st at 7pm. Get your tickets here: tickettailor.com/events/milwaukeecomedy/1307329?

Nothing says "the day after the fourth" quite like a Friday bloody. 🧨 The Milwaukeean will kick your hangover straight to the curb with horseradish-infused Great Lakes Distillery Rehorst Vodka, our signature bloody mix, and Lakefront Brewery's Fixed Gear topped with all the fixings.

Tickets for our next comedy show are LIVE! Join us on July 31 at 7pm sharp for a mildly offensive, slightly raunchy, totally hilarious show presented by Milwaukee Comedy. (This show is 18+ for the aforementioned reasons.)

The courtyard will be staffed, so grab dinner and get the drinks flowing before the show kicks off. We'll be here! 🍻

We're raising a glass (an iced vanilla latte, to be exact) to FIVE DAYS OF FOURTH OF JULY BRUNCH. That's right - brunch from 8am-2pm today, tomorrow, the next day... all the way through July 7th. 💥 There's no excuse for missing brunch with five consecutive days of extended brunch hours. Happy 4th, everyone!

BUT HERE'S THE KICKER... For our non-veg-heads, we recommend adding fried chicken. Trust us. 😋

The latest brunch baddie to join the band is this Chili Avocado Toast. 🥑 A toasted baguette topped with mashed avocado, cheddar scrambled eggs, and chili crisp. The perfect blend of spicy and savory. We're brunching 'til 2pm - see you here, Bay View!

TONIGHT! Live music from the talented Kevin Wypiszynski Music from 6pm-8pm in the courtyard. Music is free, but the drinks will cost ya. 😉 But really, come out and eat, drink, and listen local. We'll be here all night, with happy hour specials kicking off at 8pm.

Milwaukee Comedy is bringing a kick-ass lineup to the courtyard tonight. What’s better than balmy summer weather and laughing while you drink? Or is it drinking while you laugh? 🤔 Either way — get tickets online OR at the door! Only a few spots left! 🎟️
