Downtown Cranbrook : 9 Must Visit Places

June 22, 2022 | AK Imagery & Design

I want you to imagine a city… A city like your hometown, or your favourite community abroad. What would it be like without a downtown? Without the central neighbourhood and local business? Would the city as a whole remain the same?

Without a downtown, any city would be missing an integral part of its culture. It would be missing a home for passionate entrepreneurs with quaint shops, decadent menus, and warm welcomes.

We’ve put together a list of TEN awesome spots for you and your family to make the most of your downtown experience. So empty the trunk of your vehicle, come hungry, and grab a to-go mug.

The Heidout (Fisher Peak Brewing)

The warm welcomes, the packed house and the mouthwatering smells. The Heid Out delivers impressive cuisine that includes only SIX items not made in house. Moreover to that, they have both Celiac & Vegan devoted menus to make sure no one leaves hungry. Or maybe you just want a pint of quality craft beer? Fisher Peak Brewing lives here! Ask for their seasonal pours or try one of their 5 local favourites.

Morchella Market and Café

This quaint little shop is the perfect place to browse for local fresh produce, organic foods and so much more. The workers at Morchella have carefully curated their shelves to provide shoppers with the best experience, they're also always happy to help you out.
