Dave was our bartender and he's GREAT! Friendly, funny, chill guy. My brother is the beer aficionado and our cousin and I not so much. He gave great recommendations and Ivey beer we each was stellar. Haddie got our last round and was super friendly, too. Both of them were crazy knowledgeable! Definitely come to Harbor Light if you are in town or a local.

Hundreds of Hops Stop #19

Hundreds of Hops stop #19 on our 2024 self-guided Hops Passport Brewery Tour The parent (or sister) property of Oakestown, which was our favorite stop on our Michigan Edition Tour A nice, long bar top with 3 friendly, tho beaten down staff running it. They had a big ole bacon event today that sold out & had them hopping. The music starts soon to boot. This means we're here in the lull. We were advised that the menu is the same. I don't remember well-enough to dispute that, so, yeah. Solid beer in a nice location &, on that note, I'm off to listen to some Irish foot-stomping tunes live.

Flight of 5

Happy hour Monday-Thursday. $1 off of pints. No food but you can bring food in if you want. Nice selection of beers & ciders. I ordered a flight of 4 beers and a peach cider. Bartender was very knowledgeable about the selections. Beers were priced reasonably. I ordered the Everlasting Gobstopper which was the pumpkin spice ale. This had a good pumpkin spice but was a little too heavy in the coffee flavor. The Red hared cider was a peach flavor cider that would be refreshing on a hot day. The Maggie's frog was a kiwi lime gose that had more of a lime flavor than kiwi. It was the appropriate level of sour but had a little bit of a bitter finish. The IPA's were where it was at. I ordered both the snake and turbo IPA's both were excellent. There were 3 other IPA's that I did not try. Next time I will probably stick with an IPA flight. Very cool spot.

One of our trips each year is a visit to Lake Michigan's western shores for a few weeks. We rent a home on the lake and visit local establishments for shopping, dinners and fun. We went into Harbor Light Brewery, in South Haven, to take some local beers back to our friends as gifts. The older man waiting on us to fill an order wasn't the nicest. He seemed to be the owner, but not sure. His customer service wasn't the best. He seemed more interested in the younger women in this establishment than paying customers. We really don't hang out in breweries, so we had questions. He seemed put off! Hope it was just an off day, but for price we paid for his product, you might think he would be pleased. One of his larger orders for the day I would think. We bought some brews and he even made a comment about us spending so much for the beer. Why would he care? Rude. Our visit was in late summer. Our friends really aren't a fan of his brew. We have several cans left from our dinners, parties. My experience with dealing with the public is to be kind, answer questions, sell product. I guess this brewery has a different outlook. We won't be back.

Peach cider
Erienne S.

I'm really late on this review, but this was a great place to end our self-planned wine and brew tour this summer. Located in downtown South Haven, this spot featured that cozy, sort of hole-in-the-wall yet still classy vibe. It was packed that day, and the only seats left were at the bar, which was great if you wanted quick service. They also had live music on the stage in front of the window. The peach cider was great, and we will definitely visit again when in town.

In town last week. Went every day. Great venue! Very open and welcoming. In our opinion hands down the best quality and tasting beer in town. Got a flight of 6 and an each was better than the next, seriously. They know what they're doing. Live music Sat night, and they welcome you to you bring in your own food. Super friendly beertenders.

the bar and televisions

This is a nice spot downtown South Haven to grab a beer and there is no food. The guys behind the bar were very personable and fun to talk with. Maybe it was just me, but I was not too big a fan of the beer. For example, there was a mango wheat ale that tasted like artificial mango flavoring.

Flight Zoltan, blueberry cider, peach cider and crisp apple cider.
Tara K.

Decided to stop here when we realized that we would have to wait and stand to taste wine. We really enjoyed the flights of beer and ciders. The brewer was very nice and stopped by and chatted with us. Ma' coffee pot, Zoltan, blueberry and peach ciders were some of our favorites. The only thing I would suggest is to offer some food (even pretzels or popcorn) something to cleanse your palate between tastes. They had apparel to buy, I noticed. It was nice and roomy inside.

Good beer. They don't serve food, but you can order it from neighboring restaurants. They do have free popcorn, and the staff was friendly.

Awesome experience! We snagged a table in the back corner…read moreright before the dinner rush and couldn't have been happier with the quality of food and service. 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! :)

We had the sous vide half chicken and brunt ends melt and both were fantastic. We stopped here on…read morea road trip and will likely stop here next time we drive through town.
