Milwaukee Sketch Club at Barnacle Buds






Even though it was in the 80's and humid, we were nice and cool sitting on Barnacle Buds dock. You can eat outside there. A bit difficult to find because they are hidden back in a warehouse complex at the end of Marina Drive. There's directions on their website. http://www.barnacle-buds.com/ . However, here are some directions using landmarks:
  • Head North on KK from the intersection of Beecher & Bay street which has a traffic light.
  • Make a right at the Rock Island condo that looks like it used to be a station. I think this might be Stewart Street and head East.
  • Go past Hilbert St, then Allis St and make a Left (go south) on Marina drive (The road ends, you have to go Left)
  • You will immediately cross railroad tracks. Go to the end of the road and you will see a heavy yellow metal gate.
  • Turn Left into warehouse complex. If your eyes are sharp you will see a small sign on the north side of the first building on the left that says Barnacle Buds Service Center.
  • Look pretty far ahead & to your right. There is a tall chain link fence. That is Barnacle Buds restaurant. When you get closer you will see an orange Barnacle Buds sign on the fence. You can park next to the fence or next to the building across from the fence.
