Lake Superior Brewing Co.
Grand Marais's own brewery, pouring at the Dunes Saloon. Toast your best find of the day with a locally made beer.
Where to eat
Rock hounds get hungry.
Hunting agates and browsing dealer tables is hard work. Refuel with coffee, a cold local brew and hearty U.P. food, then swap stories about the one that got away.
Grand Marais Tavern
Traditional pub fare and a friendly, small-town crowd. A good spot to compare agates over dinner.
The Dream Bean Machine
Grab your morning coffee before the doors open. Early birds get the best rocks.
Sherpa Shack
A local favorite on Lake Avenue. Check their site for the current menu and hours.
West Bay Diner
A cozy little diner by the bay. Call ahead, since small-town hours can change in the fall.

Make it a picnic
Lunch with a lake view.
Some of the best seats in town are free. Pick up something to go and find a spot by the water.
- Watch the boats come and go from the harbor and breakwall.
- Head to the beach by Woodland Park and agate-hunt between bites.
- Catch the sunset over Grand Marais bay. Dessert is optional, the view isn't.
