    Big ass pretzel
    Maria Y.

    Our waitress was excellent, super friendly, checked up on us a good amount. English pub themed. Pretzel was FABULOUS! It looked like it could have been dense and heavy-complete opposite! Light snd crispy, that crispiness surprised me, but was wonderful on the palate. I don't order brisket a lot, but on a sandwich l was expecting the meat to be more shredded, but it wasn't. It was more of a fork and knife sandwich. Beef was tender, and a good portion, but l was left wanting more of the chipotle flavor. They have a long bar area l would like to explore more. Will definitely go back to try more of their menu.

    We stopped in after dinner at the old goat since we wanted some more drinks. We were seated immediately and served immediately with a smile. Everything came out super fast and our gentleman server was very friendly and cordial. The drinks were very tasty, blueberry spritz cider and my wife got the code draft. We split a strawberry cheesecake dessert and though I will admit it was probably the best cheesecake I've had in a really long time, it was $10 for the small slice so that seemed high. Food dishes that came out around us looked very intriguing and yummy so we said we'll definitely have to come back to try it. Fun atmosphere inside, looked like they were hosting a game night with a couple tables with groups playing different games. Has some outside seating as well although everyone has to come inside because of the storm that snuck up.

    Great English style beers, Danny Whizbang ESB, The Manchester, and the Irish red some of my favorites

    My husband and I have traveled to over 86 breweries in this state- and this spot found its way up to top 5 easily. The custom cocktails were delicious- great spirits and fresh ingredients. The cask beers? My husband said it was the smoothest IPA he's ever had in his life. The food? Some of the best brewery food I've ever had. The beer cheese was delicious. My husband got the Cuban and it was great.. and my naanarrito? No words.. delicious. Only thing was the loaded curry fries. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and kept our drinks filled at all times. If you are in the GR area, this place is a must stop.

    This place is a gem! Cute atmosphere inside, a nice patio outside and great service. The Butter Chicken Naanrito was delicious!! I'm from AZ and loved finding a place that was filled with locals The only downfall was watching all the people lined up to get ice cream (and enjoying it) next door as I was too full to indulge!!

    I'm not sure why I haven't written a review of Brass Ring before because I've been there loads of times! In my opinion, Brass Ring strives to be the heart of Alger Heights. The food and drinks are excellent, and their menu changes regularly. But my favorite part is the people--both staff and customers. It's hard to find a restaurant where you feel like family, but I feel that way at Brass Ring. They make everyone feel like a regular, and their frequent events and celebrations will have you coming back for more.

    Great vibes and amazing food! We loved everything from cocktails to apps and dinner. Great little spot for a night out!

    Working on our dog friendly breweries in Grand Rapids list, so we visited this UK-inspired brewery in Alger Heights neighborhood. Their patio is so cute and enclosed in flowers, making it a great environment. It helps block off the road traffic making it also feel private. On top of that, the beers and food were delicious. I was pleasantly surprised by their homemade ranch as that's always hit or miss but I loved sipping my super crispy fries in it. Prices are reasonable about $15 for most things and you get great portion sizes with lots of yumminess. Our waiter was possibly the most positive person in the world. So nice and happy and bubbly; he was a joy! It was a great experience and we will definitely eat and drink here again with our dog. Parking is in back.

    We love a date night at Brass Ring. The space is cozy but private and comfortable. Good vibes all around. The crowd is everything from family to friends to couples. The beer is nice and cold. I love how fresh and from scratch the food is. They really do serve the best balanced and creative spins on classic dishes. Service is always friendly and prompt. Definitely recommend.

    Soup of the Day
    Danielle G.

    My husband and I reserved a shanty for our last date night out before our new baby arrives! It was perfect - warm enough inside without feeling like we were getting blasted with heaters. I got the Detroit City Root Beer and he enjoyed a Danny Whizbang. He started with the soup of the day, which was described kind of like a French onion made with their beer. He loved it! I got the pretzels with English mustard and they were tasty. For our mains I got the corned beef sandwich - delightful, not too fatty or greasy. He got the cheeseburger royale with caramelized onions. Both came with fries on the side. For dessert we split the peach and blood orange tart. It was good but could have used a scoop of ice cream or something to complement it. Overall we had a great experience and would definitely come back!

    Burger Royale
    Lionel B.

    Excellent experience. One of the best breweries in "beer city" Grand Rapids. Father and son beer brewers/co-owners Chris and his son Mike Gibbons run this brewery in the Alger Heights neighborhood in SE Grand Rapids. They specialize in English-style pub ales and they have a rare Cask Marque distinction from the UK. The beer, the food, the overall ambiance, the workers, etc, everything here is superb. Must try: Liquid Spirit (7.3% porter) Blue Skies (6.5% pale ale) Fryz'licious app fries, beer cheese, bacon, jalapenos, honey sriracha, carmelized onions Burger Royale double 1/4lb patties, arugula, tomato, cheese, carmelized onions, bomb sauce

As soon as you walk in, there are games, chips for sale, and a water cooler with reusable cups. The place was busy. Many folks eating and drinking. There were two seats at the bar, both on either side of a young lady; so I asked if I could take one and she said yes! As it turned out, she was an off duty employee just having a beer. We chatted a bit while I ordered a flight. I love that the flight is not limited. You can have as many 2.5 ounce beers as you want! Each are priced separately. I perused the food menu and checked out the merch. Sadly they did not have the tshirt I liked in my size. They also sell beanies, glassware and hoodies. Oh, and beer to go! I enjoyed the two IPAs with Good Good being my fave, followed by IPA#1. The porter was good and so was the Kona brown. The fade was my least fave, and it pretty much tasted like Guinness, but I did drink it all. I have preferences but I also have values! Lol. The off duty employee and I chatted awhile, even looping in the bar tender and my other bar stool neighbor, especially when it came down to naming the artists on the decorative candles (see pic). We were having so much fun that we decided on her having another beer and me getting a couple more samples. The Mosacca IPA was really good. The Economy, gotta love the name, was also good and the most affordable beer! Look at them looking out for the people. Loved this place. The locals are friendly. Did not eat but all the food I saw looked good! Would return to enjoy more beer, fun convos and to buy a size small shirt!

I tried 5 beers- solshine(wheat), fade(nitro stout), porter, rambler(red ale), Kona brown(coffee ale). I liked 2 of the 5. The Fade was a decent nitro oat stout. The Kona Brown a solid brown coffee ale. In my opinion, that is a pretty big miss for a brewery. And I didn't love any of them. My husband got the peach mango sangria which was quite good, although a bit sweet. I didn't try any of the IPAs so maybe those are good. Nice outdoor area and the food menu looked good. I wanted to like this place and would probably come back and sit outside and try some food.
