After COVID-19 restrictions were lifted across the city June 1, the Deer District reopened along with the rest of Milwaukee.
Deer District is located just outside the Fiserv Forum, home of the Milwaukee Bucks and Marquette Basketball, and is a premiere plaza for sports and entertainment in Milwaukee. Right outside the forum itself, there are a variety of restaurants and bars, such as the Mecca, the Beer Garden and Punch Bowl Social.
One of the biggest events since its reopening has been the Milwaukee Bucks playoff games. The playoffs and watch parties began May 22, with the the Bucks playing its first round against the Miami Heat, all the way to game six of the NBA Finals against the Suns July 20.
