The Bridge Tender Inn Dockside & Tiki Bar
No-reservation sports bar and a separate dockside bar across Bay Drive — eighteen TVs, Packers colors, and a T-shaped dock on the bay. You eat and watch the game in a sports bar that has been on this corner since 1989, then walk across the street to drink on the bay. Arrive by car, bike, or boat (they post mile marker 49).
