Loki - was a delightful blend of sweet blueberry and tart cherry, at the end.\ Dark Angel - had a dark blueberry sweetness with a ginger finish that was a tasty treat. Holy Grail - Had a sweet start and a dry finish that would rock with a PB & J sandwich. The Maple - special was full-flavored and a bit earthy and made me think of fall. Will be back to play the table games.

One of the new breweries in Kalamazoo's is Valhalla on Miller. Turning into the parking lot, I…read moreremembered it was previously an automotive business and I am so glad to see that the building is being used to help better Kalamazoo with another brewery. Walking in the area is open and still in need of work but you can see they are working towards that currently. We reviewed the menu and learned that this was a Meadery at heart. We didn't know this previously but think it is great because there not many of them, let alone in Kalamazoo. We scanned through the tap list and picked out 4 to try and sat down. The owner was sitting at another table with someone that sounded like somewhat of an interview. After a little while he got up and came over to our table and asked if he could sit down with us and show us the vision for the brewery. We welcomed him to join us, we really love talking with beertenders and owners when they have passion in what they do. He had a book with photos of his vision which is going to be Viking based (the name makes that obvious) with some Thor inspiration. You could hear his passion and love for the brewery and what he does when talking about the things to come which made it that much better. Everything looked super cool and I can't wait to see it once completed. The owner shared his past history prior to the brewery which was in films and music, Ben couldn't have related more to this man if he tried. LOL. Be sure to stop in now to try their tasty meads and then once their renovations have been completed, we will be following them on social media to see their progress.

This is a "dive bar" review so the 4 stars is only meant to reflect how this place compares to…read moreother similar establishments and not as a restaurant (although it does have bar food which we saw coming out of the kitchen but we didn't order any). The atmosphere was fun and, being in a college town, was populated by your typical mix of college kids ranging from your stoner pseudo-hippies, to your hat-on-backwards loud talking "bros". It was a football weekend so there were a lot of out of towners and other people ranging in age from early 20's to 50's. They had live music which was really good although probably a little too folksy for some people's taste but it was still a lot of fun. Bottom line: If you like dive bars with a predominately college crowd (as opposed to a working man's neighborhood bar) then you will like this place.

We were seated right away and our server was very attentive. We started with the cheese curds and some beers. The selection of beers was huge! Beers are reasonably priced and the curds were delicious. Wasn't a huge fan of the ranch, but the marinara was very flavorful. I got the small southwest nachos. It was still big enough for 2 meals. These were amazing! The queso is made from scratch and really elevates the dish. All other ingredients were fresh and delicious. My friend had the dill club sandwich and said it was great as well! Overall a fantastic experience. Would definitely return.

Our server brought over some free popcorn and we ordered drinks. They had some deals going on ($1.50 off New Belgium beers). There were plenty of TVs to watch and the vibe was pleasant. As it got busier, our server disappeared more, but we weren't in a hurry. We got the small order of southwest nachos for a snack to share - these were really good. I was kind of surprised at how small the order was honestly, but it was fine to split between the two of us. The chips were crispy, the toppings were plentiful, and I loved the cheesiness. Overall we had a good experience and I'd stop in again to catch a game.

Restaurant Name: hub tavern and grill Dish: woodfire Pizza…read more-loaded fries- cheesy bread Price: 67$ Date Visited:3/9/26 First Impressions: The overall ambiance of The Hub Is warm and cozy and a great place to meet up socially when it comes to friends it's in an easy to locate area with parking nearby. Presentation - 8/10 Pretty standard presentation for the pizza nothing to out of the ordinary. Taste & Flavor - 8/10 The Meat-za had a good flavorful balance -The sauce could have been a little bit better, The cheese bread was great by far my favorite dish was probably the loaded fries they were well seasoned a perfect amount of cheese and a great amount of pulled pork. I will say my favorite part was probably their old fashioned it was very well prepared The flavors are a direct match and it was made correctly. Freshness- All of our food was freshly prepared and still warm when it came out to us- The drinks took a little bit longer but that's a given. Portion Size - 10/10 The appetizers we ordered were filling enough to where me and my husband only ate half of the pizza and took a little bit of everything home with us I would say it's well worth the price. Value for Money - 7/10 For the pizza it was 20 bucks The old fashioned I ordered was 11 which is a little bit more than most places charge in my area but the quality was good The cheese bread was a little expensive for the ingredients they used. The loaded fries were well worth their price. ‍ Service - 6/10 Our server was friendly however he was a little too friendly and got a little too close to us and made us feel a little uncomfortable he wasn't on top of things but it seemed he had a lot on his plate so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Overall Rating: 8/10 Final Verdict: I would go back here for the appetizers and drinks as a social gathering or as just a get together with friends they do have a good atmosphere and it seems like a lot of people come here to relax after work. Overall I would say it's a good place to come and try a good wood fired pizza.
