Milwaukee’s highly anticipated Downtown Dining Week made its winter debut this past Thursday and will continue serving up tasty deals through Feb. 7.

The pandemic postponed the event last year, but it has returned this year for a special 10-day-long event.

Twenty-three of the city’s favorite restaurants offer $13 lunches and $25 or $35 dinners, along with new options such as to-go alcoholic beverage-making kits and discounted family meals.

Participating restaurants include AJ Bombers, Blue Bat Kitchen & Tequilaria, Brunch, Buckley’s Restaurant & Bar, Café at the Pfister, the Capital Grille, Cubanitas, Flannery’s, the Knick, Mason Street Grill, Oak Barrel Public House, Oggie’s, Onesto, Proof Pizza, Rodizio Grill, Smoke Shack, the Social American Tavern, Third Coast Provisions, Third Street Tavern, Vagabond, Ward’s House of Prime, Who’s on Third and Zarletti.

As the fun resumes, Downtown Dining Week will proceed with a few accommodations this year to ensure everyone’s safety. Customers are urged to wear a mask when picking up an order, and indoor and outdoor dining will be limited. Those who wish to dine-in should call to secure a reservation.

Local restaurants are struggling to stay afloat during these unprecedented times, and Downtown Dining Week encourages people show their support by heading downtown to enjoy their next meal.
