If youâre venturing slightly away from downtown Traverse and heading in the Old Mission area, this is a great spot. Passed by for lunch and were seated straight away. Good beers, good food and reasonably priced. Service quick, attentive and friendly. Beautiful location too. Pizza is delicious. Crab tots good too. Falafel wrap a nice option as well. Highly recommended.

I very much enjoyed this brewpub; overall, it brews some very good and unique beer, the food is very good, the service is similarly very good, and the atmosphere and decor is dark and âwoodsyâ perfect for a brewery. There is a definitive German beerhall feel to this place complete with multiple communal tables (many of which are massive wooden slabs crafted sustainably). There are also plenty of booths and tables. Worth checking out.

This was a stop on our little brew tour we put together ourselves. We enjoyed beer, wine and an appetizer- mozzarella sticks were amazing. They werenât your typical mozzarella sticks but made with egg rolls! Delicious! The other food choices looked good but we only had the one appetizer. Would return again in the future.

Didnât even get food walked in hostess wanted to sit us a couple next to a table of 6 tables nearly touching and 6 top was sloshed. Requested a different table hostess sat us at section with either no hostess or told everybody not to wait on us. After 15 min we left when 3 other tables came in and were served drinks. Horrible but food looked so disappointed.

Stopped in for an early dinner.. Three adults and two toddlers. Beer selection was abundant with ability to taste as many as you wanted. Warm and friendly atmosphere with some amazing food, especially the mac & cheese. Will be back on our next Traverse City trip!

We were on our way back from Old Mission Lighthouse and stopped here, per a recommendation by someone at the Visitor's Center. The cherry chicken salad was very tasty. There's an art center attached, so we perused that after we ate. Good service and great place to stop for lunch.

Microbrewery on site
Reviewed By barbara p
We dined here two years ago when we were in Traverse City. It was so good we decided to revisit it on our vacation last month. The pizza is delicous and the Caesar Salad was to die for. We are not drinkers so we did not try the craft beers and the varied wine selection but the other diners looked happy. They have some unique ice cream bars and we enjoyed two of the mini bars for dessert. This place is very casual. You wait on yourself but service is quick.

The food was fine, the food trucks change from time to time, none of the food blew us away, but it is food truck food! The environment is awesome. Nice outdoor seating, with a bar that is also open to the outdoor seating area. Overall, the food and environment made this a really fun experience!

Wow... the experience here exceeded expectations on every level. our server was knowledgeable and recommended kick-off beverages that did NOT disappoint. We expressed some concerns regarding gluten free considerations and about 3 minutes later the CHEF appeared table side to walk us through our options. My entree included wild rice, but I wanted to try the polenta that was offered on another selection. Presto change-o no problem. The oyster appetizer was amazing - large, plump fresh oysters with delicious cocktail and horseradish sauces along with some pickled onions. My filet was impeccably prepared and presented as was my love's grouper. Portions were ample and the tastes were a delight to the tastebuds. It's a weird location being tucked inside the hotel and super small venue, but that just makes it all the more appealing in that it isn't a particularly obvious choice for a meal destination. But it is NOT to be missed and we will be returning at first opportunity!Thank you very much for your review. We appreciate the detailed account of your time with us. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
