MILWAUKEE'S Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers, is rated as one of the best in baseball by sportswriters and sportscasters and by fans. But unlike some Major League stadiums, it is a few minutes driving time from downtown and not within walking distance of major hotels. Here are a few tips for first-time visitors and even returning fans: Many hotels and restau- rants in downtown Milwaukee and surround- ing communities provide shuttles to and from home games. Two of the most popular downtown Milwaukee shuttles depart from The Milwaukee Brat House (the Brat Bus), 1013 N. Old World 3rd St., and Trinity•Three Irish Pubs, 125 E. Juneau Ave. In the Brady Street area, a shuttle for games runs from Jack's American Pub at 1323 E. Brady St. Closer to Miller Park is a restaurant that has been shuttling fans to Brewers games since the team arrived in town and played in the old County Stadium. Saz's State House at 5539 W. State St. is close enough to the stadium to provide a quick getaway for fans in a hurry to return home or to their hotel. Many fans, however, linger at Saz's to replay the action.
