For instance, while the beloved Tap Yard beer gardens have officially wrapped up their summer season, patrons can look forward to an exciting twist: the Brookfield and Menomonee Falls locations will be unveiling a special “Home Alone”-themed winter dome experience. This unique event will take place from 5 to 10 p.m. every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, starting November 29 through February 1, allowing families and friends to embrace the holiday spirit in a cozy setting.

Each dome includes an inviting seating arrangement for the maximum number of guests, dedicated service, a heater to keep the atmosphere warm and cozy, and a speaker system so you can set the mood with your own music selection—perhaps the iconic “Home Alone” soundtrack to enhance the experience!
