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 deeply immersed in the World Series at The Newport, a beloved corner bar in Milwaukee's Bay View neighborhood. Her parents passed away recently, but watching baseball together brought them joy in retirement. The bar is a cherished spot for diehard fans, offering free hot dogs, a DJ to keep commercial breaks lively, and a festive atmosphere that can only be found in Milwaukee.
As the Brewers made history with their first World Series appearance since 1982, Merkwae and her neighbors gathered at various corner bars, creating unforgettable memories and conversations about their shared love for the game.
