First of all, this is an easy place to drive right past. Being in a residential area, the sandwich board sign is all there is to call your attention, and going there at night didn’t help. But once we drove past it, we turned around and found it right there. This is definitely a nice restaurant, with some really good food and a nice feel. Selection of actual Jolly Pumpkin beers on tap is a bit more limited, but if you want to go for the bottles, they’re there. I’m still a bit puzzled on why so much of the tap selection is North Peak, though. Service was a bit slow at first apparently due to a crowded bar, but after that it was just fine. Just remember that, if they ask whether you want "short" or "tall" for your Oro de Calabaza, "tall" isn’t necessarily the right answer.

Located in the back of a nice old mansion over looking Grand Traverse Bay. Really nicely done place with lots of wood and a lodge-like feel. Nice combo of North Peak and Jolly Pumpking beers available on draft and in bottles. Interesting thoughtful menu and good service.

Very cool building and location on the old mission peninsula. Great menu with many seasonal choices. Good service, and of course great beer. They only had a handful of JP beers on draft and more available in bottles. A great place to visit.

Clean open ambiance. The food is excellent. They have a few sandwiches for under $10. THe rest of the entrees range from 15 to 25. I had the hanger steak which was cooked to perfection. 6 of the beers the they offer on tap are Northpeak beers which are brewed on the premises. The other two are Jolly Pumpkin which are brewed in Dexter. They also offer the Jolly pumpkin beers in bottles.
