Visiting Marquette - Beer at Bradley Center and all venues

[marquette]

What a timely thread. I'm taking the wife up for a Valentimes Day trip and the CU-MU game. Any suggestions on hotels? Which ones to avoid and which ones are good? I'm seeing some nice rates at The Plaza and The Milwaukee Athletic Club. They both look to be walking distance from The Bradley Center. This true?

A Lofts is right there. Plus there's the Milwaukee Hilton on 5th and wisconsin, if you have kids they have a water park in there. Really Milwaukee's so easy to get around you could stay at the Ambassador and an uber to the Bradley center would only be $5.

Ambassador is a pretty nice hotel, but I wouldn't stay there if your primary reason for being in town is a game. Pretty long walk to the BC, but they do have great pillows (I know, weird thing to comment on but they are pretty well known for it). My landlord put me up there for a night when my apartment had some issues.

Too bad the game is the 16th as I'll be out of town. Would love to throw a few back with some fellow BE fans.

I mean it's valantines day maybe the pillows and beds are an important factor

I love my wife. Found a girl who wants to watch college basketball for a date night.

Thanks guys. I was leaning towards the Ambassador, but we want to be able to walk back to the hotel.

Admin, can we get a new section where people can post the cool stuff to do in your city? Where to stay, what to eat, stuff to do with the kids before the game, etc. I'd rather hear it from the locals than some travel guide.

Gotcha, well most visiting teams stay at the intercontinental so that could be fun for you two to be at the same hotel as the team and it's walkable. There's also the Pfister it's a beautiful victorian hotel on par with any classic hotel in the country, but it can be a little pricey.

For a SJU game beers are sold at MSG but not on campus at Carnesecca.

Beer is sold at the Dunk for PC games but prices are about the same as at Fenway. And Fenway is notorious for having the highest beer prices in MLB.

But you may want to check on The brewhouse inn and suits. It is the former location of the pabst brewery, is suppose to be pretty nice and is within a reasonable walk to the Bradley center.

Can definitely vouch for the Brewhouse Inn & Suites. There might be closer hotels, but none as cool. Jackson's, the bar on site, runs a shuttle to MU games. Or it's a quick Uber/Lyft or a 10-15 minute walk.
