We’ve moved the Spring General Membership Meeting off-site to allow for a more relaxed atmosphere and a relaxing “social hour” afterwards. If you have never been to an ACCESS Executive Committee meeting or a General Membership meeting, please mark your calendar and plan to attend. ACCESS will provide light appetizers & attendees can order additional food or beverages from the menu.
The Market Avenue Wine Bar is next door to The Flying Fig and across the avenue from Great Lakes Brewing Company. Market Avenue itself is a short brick street located opposite the West Side Market. Parking is available for a fee at the end of Market Avenue. Free parking is available on adjacent side streets and behind the West Side Market. Visit the Market Avenue Wine Bar for directions. The website includes their menu of small plates and appetizers, as well as an extensive wine and craft beer list.
