The Roundhouse Beer Garden at McKinley Marina will be back open on May 22 for the 2025 season.
The beer garden at 1750 N. Lincoln Memorial Drive has a rotating lineup of local beers and boozy slushies. Its food menu includes a giant pretzel, Johnsonville brats and hot dogs, and Bartolotta sandwiches.
Its grand opening celebration will start at 4 p.m. on May 22 with live music from The Deep Blue Crew.
The beer garden will have live music on Mondays and Fridays from 5 to 8 p.m. for the duration of the season. It also has oversized outdoor games including tic-tac-toe, Jenga Yahtzee and cornhole.
After May 22, the Roundhouse Beer Garden will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
It’s the fourth season for the lakefront beer garden since Bartolotta reopened the space in 2022. From 2010 to 2018, the roundhouse was operated as Pitch’s Express.
