  • Nautica Joe’s is My New Happy Place for Lunch in Downtown Brunswick

    We stumbled into Nautica Joe’s for lunch on a Wednesday at the insistence of our friend Shayne from Blacksheep Pickers. Shayne never steers you wrong. It was packed, and for good reason: their food is fresh, creative and delicious and the service is friendly and efficient. The decor is a thing of beauty. It’s clean…

  • Come See Why Sal’s Pizza is a Community Favorite

  • Award Winning Beer in an Authentic Homey Garden

    When Silver Bluff Brewing opened its doors in 2020, it instantly became the center of downtown Brunswick. We love stepping inside, often lured by local music, grabbing a beer and meeting up with friends or making new ones over a game of cornhole. There’s a cozy feeling inside or out that just makes you feel…
