    Food :3 yum yum

    Very good food I got the mock mule with blueberry flavors and it was the best mocktail I have ever had the service was very nice and the whole experience was amazing 10/10!

    Spinach and artichoke dip

    I believe this is a fairly new place. We grabbed a spot at the bar. We had a few cocktails. We aren't really beer fans. To start, we had the spinach and artichoke dip which might be the best one I have ever had. It was creamy and delicious with seasoned tortilla chips to dip. We shared the jalapeño burger which wasn't too spicy but had just the right amount of heat. The fried were good too. The service was really good. The bartenders were very attentive. We'll be back next time we are in town.

    Stumbled upon this place while exploring the town. The place is very cute and clean. They have a good selection of beer if that's your vibe (not mine, I got a whisky sour and it was good). Our hostess was nice, we were sat quickly (not during a rush). Our waitress did accidentally bring my mom the wrong order, but it was easily corrected! Parking is easy, we did street Definitely on my list to come back when I come to visit the town again

    The good was tasty and reasonably priced. The waitress was helpful and friendly. She gave me a tasting (small sample) of the cider i was curious about. I opted for a tasting flight of 5 beers. The atmosphere is that of an active microbrew pub. the fermentation tanks are in a room off to right as you enter. To the left is a very large dining area (big enough for large groups) and the bar.

    We stopped in to Ludington Bay Brewing for lunch while camping at Buttersville Campground recently. We were seated out on their patio, which is dog-friendly. I got a flight of beer to share with Nate - most were just okay for me. I think the coconut brown was my favorite. For lunch I ordered the turkey wrap, which comes with bagged chips. We also shared the crab rangoon pizza and the kind of a big dill pizza. I'd say it's pretty kid friendly, we had two littles in our party and they offered high chairs, booster seats, and they have a kids menu. Our food didn't take too long to come out. I really liked the wrap with fresh veggies and thickly sliced turkey. The crab rangoon pizza was pretty good but there was quite a bit of oregano on the pizza which is not my favorite. Our server was very sweet and kind! I'd stop in again in the future if in the area.

    Good, Kicking Chicken was amazing!! Added a side of Mac and cheese which was a great compliment. Had a flight to sample 5 beers and then settled on the FirstCurve IPA. 6.8abv.

    Do not order the "I be Jamin" pizza with fig & Michigan cherry jam, goat cheese, arugula, balsamic vinegar reduction.

    This was genuinely the worst dinner I've ever had, and almost every aspect of the meal was mishandled. From the server assuming I did not want to order beer in a brewery to the food. The crab Rangoon nachos were burnt, missing cream cheese entirely, the green onions were lazily cut into 1-inch chunks, and the crab itself was ice cold, fishy, and tasted like smoked lake trout. Absolutely unacceptable. The pizza was shockingly bad. It was so underbaked the crust was still white, with no browning or rise, as if the dough contained no yeast or was never proofed. I ordered a pizza with arugula and balsamic reduction, yet the kitchen baked the arugula? Until it was burnt on the tips rather than sprinkle it on top when it came out of the oven, then added cold onions on top. There was no balsamic reduction at all. The meal felt careless from start to finish. This is without a doubt the worst meal I have had in a decade. This place needs a serious overhaul in the kitchen, because what I was served should never be served to anyone, ever. The kitchen, server, and management team should be embarrassed.

    Really kind server, delicious runny ranch, and amazing pizza choices! We had a group of 10 and were accommodated really well. Brewery vibes with a cute patio as well. Beer, wine, cocktail, and mocktail options too

    Not a bad place! Gets pretty busy, but we get our food and drinks pretty fast. Nice dog-friendly outdoor dining. This place knows their spice! Every dish is packed with heat. Wide selection of drinks. Only downside was a 30 minute wait. Would recommend!

    Tandem hard cider

    First time in Ludington for work purposes and was looking for a dinner spot/brewery. Glad I came across this place! I ordered a grilled cheese and a Caesar salad paired with a hard cider. I sat at the bar and enjoyed my food and drink in peace. I came on a Monday so it was pretty quiet but I enjoyed the atmosphere. It's a neat little brewery. I'll probably come back tomorrow too since there's not many other places similar to this in the area (at least that I'm aware of or are open). Good food, good prices, good service, good vibe. Nice place and recommend giving it a shot!

If i recall it was only a 12 inch personal pizza for 15 bucks.. And the chicken in the pot was soggy because they steamed it for an hour before we where able to access it. We noticed a safety hazard and made sure management noted it for when we leave and not shortly after that they jacked up the music very very loud intending to kick us out. Overall we where really disappointed and would not recommend this place for a get together.

The service was great and the food and coffee drinks came out quick. For drinks I had a banana bread latte and he ordered a mocha with an extra shot. Both were delicious! We ordered 3 different entrees to share - I might not have the names right, so please bear with me if you try to find them on the menu and you can't find the exact same thing. Started off strong with the breakfast burrito. It was so good! I don't know if it had a cheese sauce or just melted American cheese, but it was a good balance of cheese, hash browns, eggs and sausage. The munchwrap was awesome with chorizo sausage, hash browns, a tostada for crunch and cheese all grilled up in a flour tortilla. Last and our least liked was the Cheddar Bay Biscuit bowl. I like the concept, but the execution was poor. The biscuit had been microwaved damn near to death. It was hard to cut through with a knife. The consistency was somehow soggy and hard while also chewy. Add to that the saltiest sausage gravy ever. We each ate one bite, said no thank you and tossed it. Everything else was so good, this might just be a bad one off, but I don't think I could be convinced to try it again. I don't think food is served all day, so if you are hungry, get there before 2pm (I think).

I asked the bartender (I wish I would have got his name) if they had any options for me given those 3 things, and he came up with a DELICIOUS sugar free iced coffee option that was so good that one of the friends who had been drinking all night decided she wanted one to go along with her beer. It's sometimes hard as the DD to find a place with any variety and I was so happy to have a place make me a priority too. After all, your DDs are getting those drinkers safely to and from your establishment to bring in those big bucks - so you should give them a little thank you by treating them nicely as well. Thanks Rake Beer Project, for going above and beyond.

There are several beers on tap as well as in cans, ciders, and soda. I'm not a beer drinker, so I tried a Cherry Von Stihl Cider from the nearby Von Stihl Winery/Cidery/Distillery. I may have found my new cider! Anywho, for a small town like Algoma, this place was hoppin', and it wasn't just locals! There is plenty of seating indoors at the bar or around it. There is a patio right outside, also with ample seating, The outdoors is dog friendly, but I don't know about the indoors (although a giant garage door opens to combine the two, so...)
