Nowicki's Sausage Shoppe Alpena
Restaurant
👍👍 This place slaps hard. The business has been family owned since 1917. Each day they have different specials but always have 6 varieties of Brats available. Food is self serve and very reasonably priced. They also have a small section of ice cream. They have a couple freezers stocked of their meats...

Downtown Scoops
Ice cream shop
👍👍 Our favorite ice cream shop in Alpena. They have lots of variety and make their own waffle cones. The shop is cozy with exposed brick and a tin ceiling. They sell local merch as well as ice cream. There's seating inside and out. No pets allowed

Austin Brothers Beer Company
Brewery
👍👍 Austin Brothers is the new jewel of Alpena. A delightful hotspot that this sleepy town so desperately needed. The beer is great and the food is on par. Pair that with their wonderful staff and it makes for a highlight of any day.

😠 Looked up menu prior to going. After a five hour drive up was completely disappointed! Almost livid to a point. Menu choices were different & didn't even come close to we went there for. If you're looking for healthier type foods don't go here.

Besser Museum for Northeast Michigan
Museum
👍👍 Awesome museum to visit in Alpena. Lots of local, Native American history. Additionally lots of local artist art they have to check out. Finish with visit to the fossil quarry outside and walk to fishing boat and home display then stop by the gift shop. We'll worth the small admission fee!
