Yawwwwwn. It’s Monday morning in Green Bay. Your voice is still a little hoarse from cheering, and your phone’s full of photos from Lambeau—but don’t pack up just yet! Whether you’re celebrating a big Packers win (fingers crossed) or recovering from a nail-biter, Monday is your chance to experience Green Bay off the field. Cozy breakfast spots, local attractions, and can’t-miss hidden gems are waiting for you! Here’s your playbook for the perfect Monday after the game.
Breakfast or Brunch
Look, we’re not here to tell you when to get up. Maybe you celebrated a little too hard after that big win. Maybe you had to hit the snooze button a few extra times this morning. No judgment here. The good news? Green Bay’s breakfast and brunch scene is ready for you whenever you roll out of bed.
Craving something classic like a hearty eggs-and-bacon combo? Feeling fancy enough for an Eggs Benedict flight? In desperate need of a strong coffee or a bottomless mimosa? We’ve got you. Check out our recent Ask a Local blog for local picks from the people who know Green Bay best. From cozy diners to trendy brunch spots, you’ll find grits so good you’ll forget you’re in the Frozen Tundra and not down south. Some highlights include Cafe Con Crema, Lala’s, Delilah’s, and The Creamery.
Packers Hall of Fame & Lambeau Tour
After breakfast, kick off the rest of your day with a visit to the Packers Hall of Fame, where over a century of football greatness comes to life. You’ll find dynamic displays, interactive exhibits, and enough green and gold to make any fan misty-eyed. Sit at Vince Lombardi’s desk, relive unforgettable plays, and explore the Community Gallery dedicated to the greatest fans in NFL history.
And while you’re there, don’t skip the Lambeau Field Tour. Whether you go for the quick 15-minute Field Viewing or the full guided Champions Stadium Tour, you’ll get a peek behind the curtain and even get to walk through the players' tunnel to the field.
Titletown
Next, head on over to Titletown, the crown jewel of the Stadium District and one of Green Bay’s favorite all-seasons hangouts. Start by exploring the Game Courts, where you can show off your ping-pong skills, challenge your friends to shuffleboard, or try your hand at bocce ball, foosball, or horseshoes. Feeling a little more low-key? Kick back on the Great Lawn or the Grand Stairs and enjoy some top-tier people-watching. And if you’re visiting in the winter, go tubing down Ariens Hill (yes, it’s as fun as it looks) or lace up your skates for a spin around the Hy-Vee Plaza rink.
Lunch
Time for lunch! And lucky for you, Green Bay’s got plenty of tasty options to help you refuel before you hit the road. If you’re hanging around the stadium area, there are some great spots just a few blocks from Lambeau where you can keep that game-day energy going.
Start at Badger State Brewing, the first brewery to open in the Stadium District. Here you can sip on their own lineup of beers, ciders, and seltzers while digging into pizza, a jumbo Milwaukee Pretzel Co. soft pretzel, or fresh cheese curds.
If you want a view with your brew, check out 1919 Kitchen & Tap inside Lambeau Field. With 40 craft beers on tap and a menu full of Wisconsin goodness—like Walleye Tacos, Stone-Baked Pretzels, and a classic Cheese Board—you’ll enjoy a meal that’s as local as it gets (they even grow some of their greens on-site!).
Craving something classic? Sammy’s Pizza & Italian Restaurant is a Green Bay staple and a recent favorite in our Ask a Local: Best Pizza in Green Bay guide. For more than six decades, Sammy’s has been serving up family recipes passed down through generations—everything from the dough to the sauce to the sausage follows the original recipes of founders Sam and Louise.
For something a little more elevated (pun intended), head to Taverne in the Sky at Lodge Kohler. This rooftop spot serves up incredible stadium views alongside wood-fired steaks, open-flame rotisserie chicken, and expertly crafted cocktails.
Or, if you’re looking to mix food with a little fun, The Turn Restaurant Lounge, powered by Topgolf Swing Suite, offers a one-of-a-kind dining experience. Grab a burger or some regional favorites, sip a local brew, and try your hand at golf-simulation games or other virtual sports. It’s lunch and entertainment all in one!
The Automobile Gallery
Next, rev up your day with a visit to The Automobile Gallery, where Green Bay’s love for cars gets its moment in the spotlight. Housed in a beautifully restored 1950s Cadillac dealership, this museum is a sleek blend of history, art, and horsepower. You’ll find everything from shiny vintage classics to the latest high-performance models, each with its own story to tell.
Mulva Cultural Center
If you’re looking to slow things down a bit and soak in some art and culture, head just a few minutes south to De Pere to visit the Mulva Cultural Center. Overlooking the scenic Fox River, this stunning modern space hosts world-class traveling exhibits year-round—think Life in Space, The Real Genghis Khan, and incredible art showcases from around the globe. It’s the perfect spot to explore, learn, and feel a little more inspired before you hit the road.
Stroll the CityDeck
When the weather’s nice, there’s no better way to experience downtown Green Bay than a walk along the CityDeck. Stretching a quarter mile along the Fox River, this boardwalk-style promenade is a local favorite. Snap a photo next to the iconic I ❤️ GB statue, check out the sculpture art along the way, and take in those peaceful river views. Stop for a drink or bite at Hagemeister Park, which offers a front-row seat to all the CityDeck action.
Shop Small Downtown
Before you wrap up your Green Bay adventure, spend a little time exploring the city’s small businesses. Browse the shelves at Lion’s Mouth Bookstore and find your next great read. Get a little mystical with a tarot card reading at Aurora’s Apothecary. Pick up a locally made keepsake at LoCo WisCo. Or treasure hunt your way through Junk In The Trunk Antique Mall. Don’t forget to grab a treat from Beerntsen’s Candies or check out Manana Vintage for some seriously cool retro finds.
Finish with a Treat
You didn’t think we’d let you leave without dessert, did you? Before you say goodbye to Green Bay, end your Monday on a sweet note. Try FiveThumbsUp for a cheesecake flight (because why pick one flavor when you could have four?). Swing by Sara’s Artisan Gelato for small-batch authentic Italian-style gelato. Head to Zesty’s, where they’re always serving up classic frozen custard that locals swear by. And no Green Bay visit is complete without grabbing an Uncle Mike’s kringle, the award-winning pastry that’s basically a local legend.
