    Bare Hands is one of the top breweries in the state of Indiana. Don't believe this hop head? Try anything on draft. Personal Favorites: -Westy -Thai.P.A. -Honey Badger

    The bar.

    This place is ok. Has a little bit of a hipster feel to it, which is whatever, for me. But, seems like the type of place the locals might frequent, and that's about it. Pretty small inside, limited bar seating, with a few chairs, tables, and couches. The red ale I got was very good. The grilled cheese sandwich, chips, and pretzels were just ok. I remember the cheese for dipping the pretzels in which was very good, but I'm not sure that's a good thing. The Evil Czech and Crooked Ewe are far superior to this.

    a variety of beers and food

    Beer choices were enjoyable, food was really yummy. We got the jerk chicken sandwich (my fav!), crispy fries (soooo good!) and both tacos (not bad, could use more flavor). Outside seating is available, otherwise, indoors isn't too big and I can see how it could get crowded fast inside. Staff were nice. They gave us nice glass cups (Groupon deal). Would def return.

    I stopped at Bare Hands on my way to Michigan, and it didn't disappoint. I'm a member of the Indiana on Tap tasting society so they already had good deals for us. We ordered a flight of 8 beers. I really enjoyed all of the beers. One in particular, Thai P.A , was a really unique beer. We ordered a growler to go. Place was clean and staff was friendly. Would recommend.

    2018 late December selection! Bomb Swamp, Thai IPA and if you like sweet, don't miss the milkshake. I need to come back to try more!

    This microbrew has blends that compare to the SF Bay Area craft beer scene. Perhaps I got lucky coming around winter holidays, but their offerings were all so unique and delicious! I had the chance to try their Strawberry Mango milkshake (English ipa) that tasted so sweet it could turn my plum-wine-only mom to the beer side. Their 574 pale was crips and hoppy as well! But two blends blew me out of the water: Drain the swamp, and Thai PA. Despite its name, the Swamp has imo the right hint of hop with pineapple flavors coming through. It does not leave the dry finish typical of an IPA, inviting more sips. Careful cause it's an 8%! And their Thai PA. The fresh blend of lemongrass really makes this beer stand out. I ended up taking away a pack of 4 to share with my fam. The atmosphere accommodates parties as much as a cozy pair, offering bar area to catch a game, tables to host board games, and a comfy couch! This is a 100% awesome off the beaten track location. I came here on a whim to catch up with a friend and at first, I wasn't even sure I was in the right place since it seemed to isolated! Suffice to say, I'll definitely come back to hangout and look forward to their future recipes.

    I've been waiting for a brewery that makes excellent full flavored beer to open in the South Bend area. Visited Bare Hands on their opening night and they are exactly what I was hoping for. There were several beers on tap and I tried the hybrid pale ale and the stout. They were both out of this world. The hybrid pale ale was loaded with citrus hop flavors and aromas and was super complex with a 5.5% abv. Several other beers on tap as well. I posted a picture on yelp that shows what was currently on what is on deck. That should give you an idea of the wide variety of styles they are going to be making. Belgian style beers all the way to double ipa's with everything between. On opening night they were serving some snacks, but I was told by the owners that they plan on adding sandwiches soon to the menu. If you are into drinking well made beers in a relaxed atmosphere, Bare Hands is for you.

    See all

I always recognize his glasses. He's great. Bartenders are always spot-on. Besides that--I hardly have much of a demand, I just want to know if my burger comes with a patty or is just brisket, as it wasn't very clearly indicated in the "burger box" Super disappointing at such a price point/location. I expect more than being visited twice in nearly 30 minutes and only getting the response of "I don't know" and "I'm not sure" I left after taking two sips of my beer, and was chased out by some manager who FINALLY acknowledged us, only trying to get paid for the single ounce of beer that I consumed, as well as two sips of (warm)unsweetened tea that my grandmother had. It's not often I leave without paying, but if you're not going to acknowledge me and cant be at least a decent host, I'll just be on my way before i get too far in. When you charge $20 for a burger, I would think the service is matching that level of quality. Yes I would like a follow up, too. Because if you got my grandma following me in agreement, there's an issue. Really disappointing, probably won't make the stops like I used to. Place appears to need some quality help.

It was our first time dining at Silver Harbor and won't be our last. The atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect from a small craft brewery. Fun, lively, and modern-- a place where people of all ages can enjoy a great drink and some tasty grindage (yes, I just quoted Pauly Shore)... The unique beer selection hits all the marks and my seltzer was exactly what I needed after a long day in the sun getting burnt at the beach! We started our meal with the Bacon Apple Fig Flatbread and it was outstanding. I'd order it again and again. The Hubbs got the Michigan Olive Burger and practically licked his plate afterward! My Asian Crunch Salad was top-notch--I wish every restaurant had a salad like this!! It was fresh and delicious and paired perfectly with the flatbread. If you're traveling along Michigan's beautiful Sunset Coast, make sure to stop into Silver Harbor! Leave the beach early and get there before everyone else does! You won't be sorry! :)

I stopped drinking a while back, so I can't attest to their beer selection. Others I was with said that their beers were 'average to slightly above', for what it's worth. The glaring issues here are their prices and food portions. Both are out of touch. A turkey BLT wrap that's sized to feed a toddler shouldn't be $16. They also charge for sides of ranch, etc. I'm okay with a higher price if the food is excellent and the portion sizes warrant it, but neither were the case. The BLT was average. My wife's flatbread was four pieces, half of the size you get at 99.9% of all restaurants. $17 for that was ridiculous. They'd be better off calling this a small 'app'. Honestly, not a fan. Wouldn't recommend or come back. Superior breweries can be found within 20 minutes.

And with all of these places to sit, on a lovely Friday night- this place was poppin'! So we'd likely recommend a reservation if you think of it, but I'm certain the wonderful staff would be able to fit you in as they can! We waited a moment for our food, but with our large group, we were happy to do so as the food was worth the wait! Many of our group got OG Burgers while others opted for chicken wings and brisket sandwiches, or even tacos! They really had it all! The food had a bit of a kick with the spice, but as someone with not a high spice tolerance, it was not too much at all!
