Drífa Brewing Company

The Best Waterfront Restaurants in Northern Michigan - Eater Detroit

"Marquette got its start as a working harbor, and the stunning ore dock and related historic buildings still (rightly) dominate the city’s shoreline. As a result, most of the Queen City’s exciting restaurant scene is happening up the hill on Front, Washington, and Third streets. To dine on the water, head slightly south of town to Drífa Brewing, a cooperative brewery that brings in Marquette’s best food trucks on a regular schedule. On Thursdays, eat Manny Mag’s al pastor tacos and tamales, flavors that pair well with Drifa’s Green Ladder American IPA. The cooperative’s beer garden is some 100 yards from Lake Superior, where visitors can watch freighters and sailboats cruise by." - Stacey Brugeman
