Happenings around Galena House
Hungry?
Ribeye? Shrimp cocktail? Twice baked potatoes and old fashioned old fashioned? Yes, please. The Heston Supper Club is a classic and there's a reason it's been around for decades. About a five minute walk from Galena House, it's a great place for a great local meal out.

Good food, great drinks, and a quick ten minute drive away in Three Oaks. If you imbibe, try the lavender gimlet (chef's kiss!).

Fancy eatin' ten minutes from Galena House. Upscale, good food and drinks. My personal favorite is to get a glass of wine, head out to one of the Adirondack chairs outside, sit on the grass by the water with a good book.

Leeds is in Michigan City, about 25 minutes away. It's one of our favorites for a great, eclectic menu (Scott's fave is the burger and Micki is a big fan of the Buddha Bowl). The best part is the outdoor bar!

Thirsty?
A really fun place about 15 minutes from Galena House. It's a great place to go as a group big or small. Fun wine tastings, great outdoor patio. Is it the best wine? Not exactly, but there are some good finds. Go for the dry reds and whites. And the snacks are pretty good, as well.

It's about 25 minutes or so away, but offers a different vibe and selection than a lot of the other local wineries. They get inventive with some seasonal specials, they have a lovely and large outdoor area and often bring in live local music. Zero attempt at prevention with really lovely wine offerings.
