    Why oh why are you located in Grand Rapids? I adore you so! From the pictures already on Yelp I knew I was going to fall in love with this place upon arrival! And it happened, I am in love. What a cool space in a little village looking area of Holland. It is decorated very tastefully with the nautical theme and very conversational seating arrangements. There are some seats by a fire, seating in the windows and seating along the brick wall! Their tap list was stellar with so many beers to choose from. We ended up getting two flights so we could enjoy as many beers are possible. Even getting two flights which are presented on fun handcrafted boats, there were still probably 20+ more beers on the menu. We came on a Sunday, which was a super chill, not busy vibe. (it is before Holland gets busy for summer so it was nice to enjoy with hardly anyone around). We chatted with the bartender who was super helpful. She told us about how they are expanding into the space next door so that they can hold events and use it for overflow, etc since it gets very crowded on a Friday or Saturday she said. I am in love with your business, keep rocking!

    This is such a gem find! Located just outside of downtown Holland in a little area called Washington Square, this hip, urban, classy sweet spot is perfect for drinks with friends of all ages. Tons of different beers on tap to choose from for the college crowd as well as wonderful specialty cocktails for me and my crew, all set in a sunny, upscale atmosphere! The owner is sweet and knowledgeable too! Love finding these treasures! Try the mule!

    Great place, came here a couple times with friends, very relaxing, tonight they had music, just a wonderful place to relax. Scott is so nice, he is one of our favorites. I belong to a wine club and we love it here. Thank you for giving Holland a nice hang out!

    The Twelve Beers of Christmas... Lovely in front of the warm fire.

    I love this neighborhood bar/pub for its atmosphere. Just think, a gathering place for adults who like good beer, wine & spirits without being assaulted by TVs or loud music! The owners Carrie & Chris are so nice & don't mind hearing feedback; the bartenders are all friendly and very knowledgeable. Five stars with no reservations!! (Even the restrooms are clean & have a friendly vibe.)

    Nice space in a neighborhood bar. Upscale decore but still a comfortable place. Had a flight. They had good selections. Rotating tap.

    Great beer selection. Quiet, refined space. Especially nice on a snowy winter evening. But still great on a sunny day. A gem.

So, when my friends and I were in Saugatuck for a bachelorette party and decided to stop by New Holland Brewery, I was stoked and we were not disappointed. The vibes, service, and food were all great, and the menu has plenty of options to choose from. Even without a reservation, we were able to get a table upstairs that comfortably fit our large group, which was impressive given how busy the place was. Our waitress did an amazing job keeping up with such a big party and made sure everyone was taken care of. The menu offers a nice variety, including starters, pizzas, salads, soups, and sandwiches, all at very reasonable prices. Most entrees fall in the $15 to $20 range. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted because so many items sounded good, but I ultimately ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich for $15 with a side of cream of potato soup. Both were excellent. The chicken was huge, perfectly cooked, and well-seasoned with just the right amount of heat. The soup was creamy with a great balance of potatoes. Overall, I genuinely loved my meal and would absolutely return the next time I am in town. I also did not hear a single complaint from anyone in our group, which says a lot when dining with a large party.

    I chose this restaurant because they had gluten free options. I had a 30- minute wait on a crowded…read moreSunday and was eventually sat at a table closest to the rear. Every time someone opened the door, I felt an icy blast of air on my back. My server was Kelly G, an incredible young lady who went out of her way to make me feel welcome. I had hoped for a gf pizza but she told me that due to cross contamination in the small kitchen, she couldn't guarantee that it would be gluten free. Just when I considered leaving the establishment, she suggested a risotto which she would personally tell the cooks to make it gluten free. The risotto tasted ok especially with Sriracha. Kelly then suggested the gf turtle torte which was amazing. If it hadn't been for Kelly going the extra mile for me, I would have had nothing for dinner that night because there simply aren't any gf options in Holland for dinner. I gave her a 25% tip because she was awesome. I hope the restaurant understands that it isn't enough to say that an entree is gluten free if it doesn't have wheat - it also shouldn't be cooked in the same contaminated pan or touched by hands that have handled other products.

The meat lacked the flavor I was hoping for, and the fries came out overcooked, which was a bit of a letdown. Overall, the meal didn't really hit for me, especially given how highly it's talked about. I think my friend enjoyed her order. That said, it's possible I caught them at an off time, so I wouldn't completely write it off but based on this visit, it wasn't the experience I was expecting.
