Shopping, eating and dancing all have their place along Brookings Main Avenue.

From shopping to eating, downtown Brookings has everything a college student wants or needs.

Downtown Brookings is full of options for students. Main Avenue is lined with businesses perfectly suited to the student life style. The restaurants serve excellent food at a reasonable price and in many different styles. The stores sell everything from bicycles to books. For those who are of age, the local taverns provide an excellent location to relax and enjoy the company of friends.

Downtown Brookings was founded in October of 1879, when the railroad bypassed three existing communities and needed a new station. It wasn’t long before stores packed up and moved onto what is now Brookings’ Main Avenue.

Since then, downtown has grown and changed. There are now almost 200 businesses operating in the area.
