The Milwaukee Bucks have unveiled a handful of new dishes and new merchandise that will be available during the team’s 2025 playoff run.

The Bucks will play their first home game in the 2025 playoffs on April 25 against the Indiana Pacers. The seven-game series comes to Fiserv Forum after the Bucks lost the first two games in Indianapolis.

Fiserv Forum and Deer District Senior Executive Chef Marlene Duke said inspiration for the new foods came from places around Milwaukee, along with feedback from customer experience surveys.

Some new items include the MKE cheesesteak brat at the test kitchen behind section 209, a loaded pulled pork baked potato at Smoke Shack behind section 122, and a footlong hot dog by Johnsonville behind sections 118 and 223.

Also, Flourchild Pizza is bringing taco pizza to its Fiserv Forum concession stands behind sections 108, 119 and 224.

New items at the Bucks’ food stands include the big cluck sandwich and lemon pepper wings at the Cluckery behind sections 115 and 220, and the whiskey mushroom burger and loukoumades (Greek doughnuts) at Mecca Burger behind sections 116 and 221.

New beverage options include two new Jack Daniel’s cocktails — one for Bucks fans and one for Pacers. Fiserv Forum and Deer District Vice President of Hospitality Mason Gohlke said the cocktails were a fun representation of the battle taking place on the court.

The Milwaukee cocktail is a cherry old fashioned, made with whiskey, simple syrup, bitters, cherry and orange. The Indianapolis cocktail is the Hoosier Heritage, made with whisky, apple cider, lemon juice and maple syrup.

Suites at Fiserv Forum also will get new menu items including house-made cream puffs, lobster rolls and spring rolls.

Meanwhile, the Bucks Pro Shop has fully restocked players jerseys.

Bucks fans are encouraged to match the players’ jerseys during the Pacers series and wear green on April 25 and black on April 27.

Playoff wearable merchandise includes green and black playoffs caps, black Fear The Deer T-shirts and hoodies, a green Bucks hoodie and a green “Win For Cream City” T-shirt. The Pro Shop also has playoff pendants, pins and stickers.

The Pro Shop is open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. On game days, it closes to the general public two hours prior to tip-off, and opens to ticketed fans one hour prior to tip-off.
