Food Scene

Great brewery and food has never disappointed me. There is also music on the other end of the building at Kilkenny's, (in the basement). It's a cool old pub with karaoke and trivia on Mondays. Live music on weekends. Plus, it's close to the house.

If you are looking for superb meats, a great wine and cheese selection, look no further than Burritt's. Somewhat pricey, but worth it.

Sightseeing

Great place for a swim, but bring WATER SHOES. The rocks are lovely to hunt and collect, but they are a pain in the FEET!

Drinks & Nightlife

A must for wine enthusiasts. There are also several more wineries on the Old Mission Peninsula that are easy to find.

Liquor distillery is my favorite in the area. If you are lucky enough, you may get to have a tasting with a man that gives you incredible history and detail of each liquor. Lowest alcohol content I believe was 39%. Try the Horseradish Vodka!
