Drífa Brewing Company

Just south of downtown Marquette, Drifa Brewing offers a laid-back, welcoming vibe that’s perfect for unwinding. The outdoor seating area has plenty of space to relax, and the fire pit adds a cozy touch, especially on cooler evenings. When I visited, there was live music playing, which was an unexpected and much-appreciated bonus. A food truck was parked out front, serving up tasty bites with impressively quick service. It rounded out the experience nicely. As for the beer, I tried the Ghost Roast (a white stout) and the Shorescape Haze (a New England IPA). Both were solid pours - flavorful, well-balanced, and true to style. You can tell the team here takes pride in their craft. If I’m ever back in the area, Drifa will definitely be on my list again. Great beer, chill atmosphere, and a little something extra that makes it memorable.

I wanted to make more memories to compensate my really short stay in Marquette, so I got my second round here. Probably I was the last customer that night. Fair price and wonderful taste for the Hazy IPA, cozy atmosphere and everything. I feel that this 20 min or so let me to be somehow nostalgic and emotional to look back on my days in Michigan, past and present. I’ll definitely cherish this experience.

Great location, nice setup, fair amount or room inside, larger area outdoors. The beer was excellent! Service was good. There is a good truck called Lakeshore grill in the parking lot that seems kinda permanent. Overall it's a must stop. 5 stars for the overall quality of the beer.

This place has top tier vibes that embody fun times lakeside namely with the outdoor space. The brews were hit and miss, so tread carefully.

Great drink selection and the atmosphere is fantastic. Dog friendly

Great spot with beautiful views, nice outdoor area. It was very hot and sunny so we sat up against the building as that was the only shade but as a bonus, they had water bowls for the dog!

We spent a fair amount of time talking with Mindy and she was friendly and helpful! The beer was tasty and they have a great selection of non-beers as well. Definitely stop if you are in the area!

Drifa Brewing is proof that sometimes less is more. I went with a seltzer, crisp and unfussy, the kind of drink that does not demand your attention but rewards you for noticing. It is clean, refreshing, and feels like it belongs here in the north where the air itself tastes better. The atmosphere inside is light but still carries a touch of sophistication. It is the sort of place that feels welcoming to locals and travelers alike, a place where you can talk about the finer points of hops or just sit back and let the glass sweat in your hand. Step outside and you get the real magic. The outdoor seating frames Marquette in a way that makes you slow down and take stock. Lake Superior breathes just beyond, and suddenly your drink is not just a drink, it is part of the view. Comfort meets beauty, and neither one has to apologize for showing up together. Drifa Brewing is not trying to be the loudest voice in the room. It just wants to be the right one. And on a clear day in Marquette, it is exactly that.
