After a great morning paddleboarding on Pewaukee Lake, 4 Keeps, Pewaukee’s self-proclaimed “neighborhood dive bar,” was the perfect stop to relax and enjoy a cold beverage.
Their Bloody Mary may not be over-the-top with garnishes, but the flavor more than makes up for it. It was one of those Bloodies that immediately makes you take another sip. Well-seasoned, balanced, and just plain delicious. At only $7, it’s also one of the better values you’ll find.

The garnish included a pickle, two olives, cheese, and a beef stick, plus a shorty beer chaser—a classic Wisconsin finishing touch.
