    Drifa brewery is excellently located near the shore of Lake Superior so has a nice view from the outside beer garden. Live music Th-Sat and also had a local food truck parked outside if you get hungry. I really enjoyed the "popular request " amber....refreshing! Just a short walk down the bike trail from downtown. Enjoy, I did

    Beer here!

    Great and greater beers, super friendly and comfortable atmosphere. It's one the few coop breweries anywhere. Drifa is maybe slightly off the beaten path but always worth the visit. Spencer has created a library of beers which are great examples of classic styles. Food truck most nights or bring your own. Oh yeah, your dog is just as welcome as you are though dog must be leashed. Take a turn away from the center and visit Drifa. I am always happy I did!

    Love this brewery for many many reasons ~ Excellent beers, I love the hazy IPA and the lunar magic. Location is fantastic! It's located right off the bike path which makes for a fun afternoon or weekend activity. Lake Superior is also in view from the beer garden! Food trucks are parked out front and there is often live music on the weekends. Let's be real, what's better than brews, burgs, and tunes? Staff is wonderful. I've never had a bad experience at drifa :)

    Love spending the weekends at Drifa! They have a great selection of drinks for everyone's taste buds! I personally love the harbor breeze (light beer and lemonade) and the wine froze'! My dogs love taking turns getting to spend the evening listening to great music and eating from the delicious food trucks! Definitely the place to be!

    This is a nice brewery with a relaxed ambiance. I ordered the lemon seltzer. It had a good citrusy flavor, but there was a skunky aftertaste. The bartender was very nice and welcoming. I would like to go back and try different seltzers and beers.

    The Cashmere Cat West Coast IPA with the mug club mugs in the background.

    Cute, local place to drink house made beers or a selection of wine and wine-based drinks. Cozy, intimate vibes in the winter or lively and indoor/outdoor in the warmer months. Friendly staff makes you feel at home and welcome.

    A must on your trail travels, or visit to Marquette. Also,in my opinion, the best Brewery logo ever. Kudos to the graphic designer! ...now how can I get this logo on a yoga mat swag?

    We saw a great rainbow here after solid food from the truck outside and beer from the bar. Live music too.

    There is nothing better than a delicious cold beer, a view of Lake Superior, and a burger from Lakeshore Grill. Such a great environment.

    Not great. Below average beer. Tastes very "home brew". Nice outdoor seating. Lacking quality in the brewing department.

We prefer bar service over dining service, seem to be generally more attentive and the two staff work as a team. Brandon is waiting on us. He's friendly and good at customer service. Ordered the whitefish dip, baba Ghanouj, superior whitefish tater tots, tabouli salad, superior whitefish chowder, superior whitefish tacos with black pepper fries and a spicy crispy chicken sandwich and cabbage slaw. $111 They do charge a 4% transparency fund: employee retention, living wages, staff happiness. Written on the bottom of your bill. The dishes are scratch made, in house. Nice! The tabouli is too, has some mixed greens in it. There is something sweet in the dressing or the buckwheat, not my thing at all. Rest of the salad is good though. The baba ghanouj on its own is quite garlicky, slight Smokey flavor to it. It doesn't work with the pita crackers. Not loving this at all. The whitish dip is good. My hubby liked the sweet pickled for watermelon rind garnish, I didn't like them much. The spicy chicken sandwich on the brioche bun is really good. The chicken is super crispy. It's quite good. The whitish tacos are good. The whitefish seems to be blackened, really nicely. The fish is light and perfectly cooked. The whitefish chowder is so good! The tater tots are so delicious. No slouch here. Crunchy and so yummy! Food was so unique and quiet food. The side pepper fries are and slaw ate both a bit blah, compared to the majority of our flavorful meals Service is top notch.

As we were waiting in line a bartender walked past and mentioned a free table with seat yourself FCFS in the tap room. We snagged the table and were greeted immediately. The table was decorated with some cute hand drawn coasters. Ordered a couple beverages and appetizers as well as mains. The food was all delicious and service was great. We ordered a carrot cake cupcake to share for dessert. This was our least favorite part of the experience, but my partner's only complaint was the surprise golden raisins. He's not a huge fan of "pieces" in his cake. I loved the frosting, although it wasn't traditional cream cheese frosting. It was decadent and rich. 8/10.
