Forty miles west of Munising is the unofficial capital of the UP, the bustling college town of MARQUETTE , also the center of the area's massive ore industry.

Downtown, JJ's Shamrock , 113 S Front St, serves basic bar food along with occasional live music. For a more formal dining experience, locals favor the Northwoods Supper Club, just west of town off US-41, with a meat-and-potatoes menu in a rustic setting. Popular drinkspots include Remie's Bar , 111 Third St, with a rowdy local crowd and live music on Wednesdays. (Sounds like my kind of place)
