Nick's Guidebook to Queer/Allied Local Businesses 🏳️🌈
My favorite dinner spot
This is my all time favorite place to eat. The food and staff are both 5 out of 5! The owners are just amazing people and are local and allies as well. I with no hesitation will go here and have them surprise me with something to eat. Everything on their menu is to die for and the drinks are freshly squeezed and packed with flavor. I highly recommend making a reservation as this is a smaller restaurant. Also if you love old architecture, the owners have restored not only the original tin ceiling, but also the original bar dated back to the early 1900’s. Definitely need to check this place out during your stay!
Urbane
1231 N 8th StGreat Coffee, Better People
Kate, the owner has really outdone herself with her coffee shop! It’s not just coffee! This place also offers some great vegetarian and vegan options! Food is great, I recommend the bagel sandwich. Definitely make sure to ask if they have any events while you’re in town too! They host live bands, singers, plays, all sorts of live entertainment even drag shows from time to time!

Food and or Drink Scene
Fill your belly with good food or have yourself a drink or two at any of these places!
This place has and does it all! Not only can you throw axes, eat some yummy appetizers, drink, but also possibly see a drag show! The owners are close friends and neighbors and have been the definition of allies to the community. The drinks are amazing (thanks Jen!) and I mean who doesn’t love throwing axes?! They prefer reservations, but sometimes can squeeze in walk ins. Oh, and did I mention they also run Escape Rooms Sheboygan on the lower level? Yeah that’s right! They really do it all! Grab some friends or make a date out of it! It’s definitely a blast!

A lot of locals don’t even know about this hidden gem! It’s tucked away in the Harbor building right in Deland Park. When you walk into the building take the stairs to the second floor and it’s straight ahead. It’s a quaint and usually quiet bar set literally on the lake. Enjoy a drink and sit either inside or on the massive second AND third floor decks overlooking Lake Michigan. This is a perfect spot to sit back, relax and unwind.

This is right next door to Paradigm with a parklet in between that is open to the public. The staff and owners are allies to the community. It is very welcoming and you can sit at the bar or at a table. From time to time they have live music! Both food and drinks are great here!

Love this little spot! Rumor has it way back in the day the building used to be a gas station of all things! The place has some banging margaritas and good food! I love the mango margarita and the fajita del Cameron. It’s a small place so call ahead or be patient!

Honestly, food isn’t the reason to go here, but the 32oz margaritas is. Sitting in the outdoor area on the Sheboygan River with a big ole margarita just does something to the soul sometimes.

Sightseeing
The house is whopping number 6 away from this park. From hearing the waves to hearing different events down here, it’s definitely worth the hop and a skip to it. Walk along the lake, to the light house, around the harbor or dip your toes in the sand/water. It’s peaceful sitting out here just basking in the sun listening to the waves. Sometimes you can even just sit back and watch the lake fog roll in.

This is a must see! I don’t even know how to describe the beauty that this park has. Plan a few hours and walking, but definitely worth the time and a good spot to take pictures!

This resort from the outside reminds me of the movie The Shinning, but that’s just my opinion. They have a great water park for the kiddos to tire themselves out at and a bar with a view for the adults. They also have a cute pathway along the beach that is perfect for taking pictures!

Seemingly step back in time when you walk into this place! With so many different flavors and options it’s hard to choose, but no matter what you pick, it’s going to taste great! Grab a cone or a dish and sit out on the harbor and enjoy the wonderful views. You can walk to this place, but it’s kind of a hike considering it’s on the other side of the harbor.
