UNWIND WITH SIPS & SUDS
ZEPHYR WINE BAR // Extensive curated wine list from all over the world (they also own a wine shop in town, Everyday Wines), elevated cocktails, artisan cheeses and meats and other seasonal light, unique bites in a warm, inviting, neighborhood gathering spot. Stop in for a nightcap and dessert, a light lunch with one of their homemade soups and a charcuterie tray, or an evening out enjoying great wines and the art on the wall, or the lovely outdoor patio in warmer months.
BLACKROCKS BREWERY // A local classic, this laidback spot offers dozens of seasonal and staple brews to tempt your taste buds. Warm up around the fire pits on the patio in the winter or enjoy the summer sunshine. Live music, cozy vibe, board games and friendly bartenders make this a definite muststop all year round. Look for the little yellow house on the corner of North Third and West Michigan Streets. Food trucks outside in the summer months.
ORE DOCK BREWING // Offering up a nice selection of handcrafted Belgian, American, and English style ales in an 1800's building that was previously home to a garage and Chevy dealership. Enjoy a Sampler Flight on their dog-friendly patio, find your fave, and grab a couple of crowlers to go. Hard seltzers, cocktail-inspired brews, and a non-alcoholic option too. Celebrate the Festival of the Angry Bear in the spring, enjoy food trucks in the warmer months, and lots of live music all year round. BARREL + BEAM // You’ll fall in love with the cozy charm of this former Northwoods Supper Club and their farmhouse and barrel-aged brews and rustic ciders featuring all Michigan ingredients. Easy access from the Iron Ore Heritage Trail. Everything from artisan saisons and fruited sours to Michigan wines and light bites. And if you truly do fall in love here, you can have your wedding here as well.
DRIFA BREWING // Enjoy small-batch brews, guest ciders, and wines at Michigan’s first cooperatively owned brewery. Comfy vibe inside and out on the expansive lawn. Live music, pub games, food trucks, and a dog-friendly biergarten. We’ll raise a glass and say cheers to that.
