Homey little place. Favorite part was the ceiling covered with mugs for lifetime members. Pizza wasn't really anything special. Laid back atmosphere. Enjoyed the local art on the wall. Lots of merch for sale. But not sure I would drive out of the way to go back. Just kinda meh. read more

Always a good place to have beer with friends inside or out in the garden. Hometown vibe, friendly bartenders, good musicians playing originals, which is refreshing too. read more

Awesome place! Great backyard! The food was tasty, the beers were cold and delicious, and the service was great! It was my first time here and I was made to feel like I walked into Cheers where everyone was community and valued. read more

This is an unassuming hidden gem. We had the Italian pizza and it was the best pizza we've had in a long time. Highly recommend. We were lucky enough to be there when we could sit outside and there was live music. So good. We'll be back!!! read more

Been here a handful of times but have never gotten their food. Well that was a mistake! Super pleased with the pizza we got, definitely would love to try some of their other food. Their beer is also spot on, don't sleep on this place! read more

We were on a mission to get some new tagabrews and this place was on our list. It was quite different than I expected. Very small! We ordered our beers and sat and enjoyed them. We got our tags and our hop passports stamped and off we went. I'd come back. But only if I was in the area. read more

Stumbled upon EagleMonk while in-town for a conference. We needed a place to eat dinner and I found this place on Yelp. The reviews looked promising. I was not sure what to expect but when we pulled up I did not know if we got to the right place. Single story cement block kind of structure. Divey/hole-in-the wall kind of feel? But once we step inside we felt welcomed. You will notice the mugs on the ceiling and the quaint/clean environment. Nothing fancy with the banquet style chairs and tables. Staff was very friendly. One staff member came over and explained how the place works and what they offer. Homemade dough and sauces, no fried foods, and no liquor. Unfortunately, we were looking for some good fried bar food, so we decided to pass on dinner but did get drinks. Place your order at the bar. There was a ton of beer options but I went with a hard cider. I went with the cherry cider and it was tart but refreshing - not overly sweet. I did notice a side room but did not explore to it. Also noticed some board games that were available to play. A chill, local spot with nice folks and good brews. read more

This could be my favorite "Dive Bar". The beer is great, the staff is friendly and the pizza is delicious. The ambiance is very casual and relaxed, I think by design. It's a place you can be totally comfortable no matter what you are wearing. Highly recommended. read more

This is my favorite brewer anywhere, period. Dan is a fantastic Master Brewer and human. The Blueberry Wit is my poison so don't drink any of that read more

One of my favorite places to chill and chat with friends while we drink beer and eat pizza. The beer, rootbeer, pizza, and people are all great! They have a nice backyard space for the summer and an impressive mug club that covers the ceiling. If you are a potter it would make sense to go just to check out the work. read more

Good beer: IPA, red Weak menu, mostly pizza and the pizza is gluten free, which is not ideal. Margarita pie was not very good. Service is fast casual - order at the bar and take a seat. If you're solo, given the small space, this means ordering beer and food before securing a seat. There are enough employees - why not take orders at the tables? Ambiance is divey but not in a good way. They could do a lot to improve this place. Being more friendly and less businesslike might be a start. Only the bartender when I checked out seemed to care whether I was well-served. Good beer, though. read more

My friend and I went on a quick trip to visit breweries in Grand Rapids and stopped at EagleMonk on the way home. Honestly, their beer was the best of the entire trip! We were the first people there of the day and sat quickly at the bar. The bartender was super friendly and helpful to choose one of many beers on their list. We both each got a flight, and the first beer I tried was my favorite of the whole trip! It was the Instigator, and even though the description said winter, I thought it was still not too heavy. Both of us enjoyed our flights while we hung out chatting with the staff and other patrons who stopped in. Everyone was extremely friendly, and the bartender was helpful to give us information about other breweries in the area and talked with us about other Michigan breweries. He also gave us a few additional samples for free while we waited for him to fill our growlers. The space is a decently sized inside and their outdoor patio is dog friendly and awesome. I was sad that we were just passing through because I would have loved to stay, drink more beer, and eat some of their pizza because it looked and smelled delicious! read more

Great beer, great customer service, and did I say great beer. Bartenders are awesome. Let us try samples to see what we liked. Will definitely be back read more

We are from out of town and here for a tournament and needed a place that would hold about 20 people. They said they had a back room so we went. When we pulled up my heart sank a little. The place is not at all what we expected. I felt like it was moldy smelling when we walked in but someone we were with said it was probably the smell of the beer making process so i can't confirm or deny that information. Most of the teens did not love their pizza but the adults thought it was fine. The paninis were decent and the spinach artichoke dip was good. If we ever came back to this area i would basically just come for their house made beers and ciders. They were excellent. The mixed berry cider was not sweet at all and I really enjoyed it. Their homemade soda was great too. My kids mixed the cream soda and orange to make a creamsicle. That was delicious. Service was good and they checked up on us even though you order from a counter so that was nice. read more

Great food: somebody in that kitchen cares a great deal about the menu offerings! Service was top drawer every time I stopped in. The staff and clientele have always been friendly, providing a relaxing ambiance for dining and tipping a wonderfully crafted pint read more

Ordered a meat lovers pizza to go. The pizza was fresh from the oven when I arrived. The pizza is a hybrid thin / flat bread crust that was really good. We will be back. read more

This place was cute, but I definitely wasn't wowed. They do have an amazing backyard though, which was amply spaced apart and perfect for outdoor pandemic dining. All of our food (pizza, panini, eagle ear) was perfectly fine, but nothing was good enough to make me want to come back over going somewhere else. I did like that along with beer, they make their own root beer, though! read more

Best flat bread pizza around! Awesome outside patio with good music and vibes! Cozy interior as well!

We were traveling through Michigan, and decided to stay in Lansing. I read the reviews on this place, and planned our hotel to be nearby. I was not sorry! What a great brewery. The staff was very welcoming, and they were very informed about all the beers. And the ones we tried were fantastic. We also had a salad and a pizza, and they were both great. It was a beautiful evening, so we sat outside, and got in on a Bingo game! Highly recommend! read more

Driving through Lancing and we came upon this gem! Great find and even better survive. These Texans appreciated the great beer and super food! Go Stros! read more

Start off by saying that the Mug club and supporting the local pottery craftsman is a fantastic idea. Beers are not good... I think it was $4 each but still... Food was okay though. Ordered two pizzas. Italian and BBQ chicken. Both decent pizzas but I feel it's hard to mess up Pizza. I would have gave it 3-stars but it's a brewery and the beers were that weak. Couple other places to get solid beers in the area I would recommend, try those. read more

You should definitely get the pretzels with the sriracha ranch sauce. It's perfect for snacking while drinking some good brews. We tried the blueberry wit, the Marcy street stout, the mitten white and a few others. No bad beers, but nothing stood out as one I needed to try again. It's an unassuming little spot but one that you should definitely come check out once. read more

Since we were visiting Lansing, Lee and I of course had to go visit one of the local breweries. This one seemed to get the best hits on Yelp, so off we went. Our friends remarked that they had no idea this place existed. It's on a relatively quiet part of Mount Hope. One of my favorite things is the decor on the ceiling -- hand-thrown mugs by a local potter. They make a striking and interesting display. The beer is pretty good, and $9 for 9 samplers (which is a big chunk of their menu) is a pretty great deal. Their IPA is pretty forgettable, but their dopplebock was awesome, enough so that I ordered a full pint of it. The pizza is really good, too. It's made in house, and has a nice thin crust and tasty toppings. The staff is really friendly and happy to talk about the beer. So if you're in town, give this place a shot, it definitely is worth a visit! read more

Staying at Crown Plaza Lansing West on Creyts Rd. Needed dinner. Looked up this place, reviews were good, the place looked simple and was a 4 min drive from the hotel. 1st trip in and I'm a lifetime member. Got a mug with my name on it hanging from the ceiling. Flatbread pizza brought me, the beer sold me. If you don't become a lifetime member I'm not sure understand how life works. Drop what you're doing and go see the guys at Eagle Monk now. Stellar. read more

Great beer! Cool neighborhood atmosphere. The food is good also. Love the fact that they support local artisans. Definitely worth the stop!

First off, this place is a little off the beaten path and unless you are paying attention it is easy to drive right by it, although it is painted MSU green. That said, make a point to get to this place if you are in the area. Multiple beers on tap that they brew themselves and all we tried were fantastic. They also have a somewhat limited menu of homemade pizzas and other bar type food and both kinds of pizzas we had were fantastic. It draws both a young college crowd and older adults looking for a great beer and some wonderful food to enjoy while drinking it. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend this place for anyone. read more

Great in every way. The beer, atmosphere, employees. We had a long day and this place made up for it. Fenced in beer garden was great for kids. Cask IPA amazing. I was a beer buyer for Whole Foods in California, have sampled micro beers across the country, and have made beer for over 5 years. Be very sceptical of the reviews that say the beer isn't very good or so so. They are pedestrians and simply, opinions aside, shouldn't be rating beer. They are doing no one a favor. I liked everything I tried. Very impressed. read more

This place is a great little gem tucked away from everything else. Their pizza is phenomenal, the beer is amazing, and the vibe is pretty chill. They have a small game room, and when it's warm they have outdoor seating and outdoor lawn games. They do live music here, as well as some other things every now and then. I've never had a bad time here! read more

I didn't order food so I'm judging purely on beer and atmosphere. I heard they have great food so maybe I'll come back and try that. I dislike the "pub style" ordering, hence going up to the bar and ordering instead of being waited on. That's annoying and brings on a weird casual fast food kind of atmosphere. My party of 3 each ordered a beer sampler. I liked some, disliked others as would be expected. All the beer is served at almost room temperature which would be acceptable had we been in Germany at Octoberfest but we aren't, we are in Michigan in august, and I want cold beer on a 90 degree day so that was a big negative. The atmosphere was lame in that it made the DD of our party want to go to sleep. Weird music playing and a musty smell in the room. Blah. I might give this place another try since it had such good reviews but maybe I'll have a couple cold ones before my room temp ones. read more

Fantastic little neighborhood brewery. You'll enjoy most of the beer here if you're into traditional, stylistic beer. The pizza though is killer. It's comfort pizza done really well. Service is always hit or miss, but generally you're going to ah e a good time. It's a great place to stay a while and get to know the locals. read more

While passing through Lansing, my wife and I wanted to visit one of the new breweries that have sprung up there in the 15 years since we left. After investigating a few online, Eagle Monk was the pick, partly because of its humble, off the beaten path setting. It seems the best breweries often begin in the unlikeliest spaces. Eagle Monk occupies a compact, low-slung brick box on Lansing's industrial fringe. Inside you've got plain walls that could use a coat of paint, a concrete floor covered by fading green paint, vinyl upholstered chairs (a few torn and duct-taped) and laminated tables such as you might find in a cheap diner. I find that sort of thing appealing--others may not, but remember, this is a brewery. If you came for the atmosphere (as opposed to the beer), you're missing the point. (or...the pint?) We started with a sample flight--8 beers for 9 bucks, which is a great deal as these things go. And of course it lets you sample most of the tap roster. Out of those 8, we liked the pilsner, Marcy stout, ESB, Red Eye rye, and Winter Warmer best. If I returned, it would probably be for a pint of that last--full bodied and mellow, but with whiskey notes and a pronounced oakiness from bourbon barrel aging. When I first lifted the glass and caught the aroma, I had to check to make sure I had a beer in my hand and not a glass of bold, tannin-rich red wine. The IPAs, regular and dark, were a bit of a letdown. Surprisingly little hop flavor for the style, and with a quasi-soapy aftertaste. We both got a pint of the ESB to accompany the veggie pizza we ordered for lunch, which itself was pretty tasty. Thin, very crisp crust, tangy housemade sauce, with enough cheese to complement these without overwhelming them. Veggie toppings were a little thin, and I would have paid a couple bucks extra to double them, or some of them. But still a very enjoyable pie. I wouldn't put Eagle Monk in the top rank of Michigan breweries, but they do make some respectable beers, and unless their drinking pleasure requires a chic and trendy setting, beer lovers won't regret a stop there. read more

I grew up in Lansing and when I saw the address to this place, I was super confused. It's literally in a neighborhood. I haven't had their food *YET* but the beer is good and the environment is relaxed and quiet, which I like. The staff is knowledgeable. I will be going again. read more

This is a decent little place with a neat feel, wasn't huge on their food or their beer unfortunately

Great tasting brews with friendly staff and patrons. Spicy hawaiian pizza is delicious. Dog friendly outdoor seating is awesome.

Very very good, great drinks for great prices and workers are friendly and knowledgeable

This place has a great atmosphere. Sitting out back in the lawn is fun and relaxing. They have good pizza and many fun beers to choose from.

Great neighborhood Micro-brewery. They produce a number of tasty brews & the food is good too! read more
