Always looking for local beer, we happened on this great location with a grassy, backyard seating area with a hilltop view. Outdoor games, fire pits and distanced seating. Staff was friendly and inviting. The Wobbly Pot IPA has a bright, hoppy flavor! Families with children as well as couples were enjoying the hospitality and pretty location.

Just a couple of blocks from downtown is this cute little museum run by the Charlevoix Historical Society in the girlhood home of the wife of the real estate developer who crafted the locally famous Mushroom Houses. The staff is warm and welcoming, displays interesting and informative. Down in the gift shop you'll even find relics of Earnest Hemingway's first marriage. Speaking of the gift shop, we found our quarry hidden in the rack with the postcards -- a perfect little booklet for $5.00 that gave us brief facts about each of the mushroom houses with walking and driving tour directions. Stop and grab the booklet first like we did, peruse it at lunch in one of the many wonderful restaurants in town, and then go see the houses. This is a quick stop, but do make it part of your trip. Admission is free, but the Historical Society will appreciate your donation -- or spend some of your vacation budget there on a book of full color mushroom house photographs or on beautiful replica prints of Northern Michigan maps hand drawn by Irene Harsha-Young.

Cherry Republic

**We are open!!** There’s a reason this fair city is named Charlevoix the Beautiful. Perched on the shores of no less than three freshwater lakes — Lake Michigan, Round Lake, and Lake Charlevoix — this was the ideal location of Cherry Republic’s first Up North outpost. Opened in 2009 on Bridge Street in lovely downtown Charlevoix, we invite you to stop by and sample some of our 200+ cherry products including salsa, jams, chocolate covered cherries and much more. You’ll also enjoy daily (and complimentary!) wine and soda pop tasting. Damaged by a fire in December 2016, our Charlevoix store has recently been completed renovated and is brighter and more welcoming than ever before with new flooring, a redesigned bar, and an outdoor space to enjoy your favorite cherry treats. Be sure to stop by and see our pretty new store!

My family has been enjoying these products for years!! When the children heard we were visiting they placed their orders, cherry concentrate, cherry wine, cherry pie filling, coffee and hard cherry cider!! You can’t go wrong with anything in this store!! Parking was on the street with meters. Staff was super helpful and very friendly. Alas no free samples due to the dreaded COVID-19. Always fun to restock!!

Cold beer, the perfect burger, and lightly prepared french fries. The perfect meal at a fair price-which is hard to find in these resort towns. TVs were kinda difficult to watch since they are mounted up so high.
