Corners bars and the World Series, how fans are taking in the game
The American Family Field watch party sold out three straight days. But these Brewers fans prefer the corner bar.
Amanda Merkwae is watching the World Series at The Newport, a local Milwaukee bar with a nostalgic atmosphere. Her parents, both Brewers fans, passed away recently, and the couple used to enjoy watching games together. At The Newport, fans can enjoy free hot dogs, a DJ, and lively conversations. The bar beats large watch parties, with patrons reminiscing about their childhood games and the significance of this championship run.
Lydia Chiappetti, another Milwaukee resident, described Club Garibaldi, a corner bar with a classic vibe, as her favorite place to watch the game. She enjoys pinball, darts, and pool, and feels that the World Series has been a continuous experience, like the time between Christmas and New Year's. Darren Muljo, a resident of Gwinn, Michigan, came to Milwaukee for work and has been visiting local bars for the World Series.
He appreciates the friendly atmosphere and sense of community found in corner bars, which he finds more enjoyable than large watch parties.
