I’ve been here many times. Very good beer selection with proper glassware and it is always rotating. They let you select any beers for your beer flight which is awesome! My girlfriend loves their salads, smoothies and cookies. Food is usually great and fresh. Usually really good entertainment. Some areas get too loud. Friendly waitresses, bartenders are ok. Very nice patio.

This place is great, food is excellent, service is quick. Have to go with beer flights because beer selection is best in town.

Large sports bar with 10 40 inch TV’s above bar. Nice selection for Michigan brews including Hop Slam and Double Trouble. Offer beer flights which is great. Brews and food are priced good. Had 3 good brews and a Buffalo Chicken wrap for $21 which is pretty good. Service was nice. Loud bar with smoking are only drawbacks.Definitely worth a visit.

Spent a pleasant winter evening here. Nice place with a very good beer list. Hung out in the restaurant side all night, because the bar side looked smoky and loud (that half has more of a sports bar feel--lots of tvs, etc). Restaurant side is more sedate, and non-smoking. Draft beer list heavy on the Michigan brews, which was good for this out-of-town visitor. They get extra points for allowing you to build your own 5-beer flights out of anything on tap, allowing me to sample 10 different beers on the cheap. Didn’t have too much food, but the appetizers I did have were solid. Good service--just the right level of attentiveness. Definitely worth visiting.

Selection rating suffered from absence of malt liquor on tap. Bottle beers only available in 12oz or 16oz (no 40oz). great food.

Large sports bar type feel with a big outdoor patio. The prices are very fair and the beer list is excellent. The taplist definitely leans towards Michigan beers and in a good way too. Some of the beers they’ve had on tap are multiple Short’s, KBS, Canadian Breakfast, Bam Biere, and so much more. The food is a step up from the typical brewpub fare. Joe has done an excellent job making this place one of the better beer bars in the state.

They spent a lot of money turning this dump into a nice place. I have many complaints but will hold most back because a beer selection like Uptown has did not exist before Uptown opened. Great all around but Michigan leaning tap selection. Pint prices are fair and even better served in the correct glasses. Menu is a bit disjointed. I would suggest they pair down the selections and improve the food they do offer.

a large newly renovated building. expansive on the inside, with a wine and beer to-go section at the entrance. 30+ taps, with an emphasis on local and american craft beer, but also has a careful selection of imports as well. pleasant waitstaff. an excellent bar, selection is great and i hope it does well.
