Beer?

I think we know what the answer is! Try one of these fine drinking establishments for some local brew. There's the Dubh Linn Irish Pub and Carmody Irish Pub, both downtown on Superior Street. Further down the street (East) there is Sir Benedicts Tavern on the Lake which is right across from Fitger's Brewhouse. And we have already told you about the Thirsty Pagan over in Superior -- but don't forget your designated driver!

Food over the bridge

For those of you who are adventurous enough to cross the bridge to Superior, Wisconsin, be sure to stop at the Anchor Bar for one of their famous burgers. Thirsty Pagan Brewery is a local microbrewery that serves up great home-made pizzas to go with their brew. They often have live music, too. For  more traditional fare, try the Hammond Steakhouse or the Shack.

Like to shop?

If you want to bring back a little something for your colleagues who couldn't make it to the conference, the DECC is walking distance to many unique, locally-owned shops. The DeWitt Seitz Marketplace is just steps away from the DECC and we guarantee that your coworkers will love you if you bring them something from Hepzibah's Sweet Shoppe. The Downtown area is close, too, and accessible through our Skywalk if you want to avoid a wind off the Lake. However, if you relish a brisk walk along the Lakewalk, you can go to the Fitger's complex which is a little less than a mile away. An Ely, Minnesota - made Wintergreen jacket will keep you warm on the way back.

Take the train!

Tour a Haunted Ship
