    Beyond Tacos

    Stopped at Midtown on the way up north and was excited to see a vegan option on the menu. It was midweek at lunch and the service was good. Hope to try a beer and pizza next time I stop in!

    We traveled from NC to Lansing for a wedding. Found Midtown Brewing so we stopped in for a few beers/drinks. The beer was great and the service was even better. McKenna (sp?) was our server and she was amazing. She was friendly, talkative and very welcoming. Our overall experience was fantastic.

    Stopped in to grab a beer with a friend for her birthday and stumbled upon some amazing fried pickle chips! These are probably in the top 5 of all time in my book and I'm sure I'll be back for more. The beer was pretty good and the service was ok. Pretty chill spot still and prices weren't too bad. Worth stopping in if you've never been here before!

    Micro beer from Michigan

    I was expecting this restaurant to be newer based on the pictures on it's website but was surprised when i arrived. The place looked older, a bit rough and worn out, not to mention bums sitting outside begging for money...i asked the waitress for a recommendation and she provided me 3 choices on the menu, all of which were the most expensive items (this always raises a red flag) i chose one of those items (lobster sandwich) and will say it was terrible...i should have known not to order lobster in a brew pub in the middle of Michigan...i was unimpressed and believe this item should be removed from the menu...terrible....On a positive note, the beer was good...Overall, not impressed with this restaurant...Sorry....

    Olive burger & tots
    Lisa B.

    I'm in love with their pork carnitas nachos!! Normally with nachos I'd ask for salsa & sour cream on the side but it's so not necessary with these!! Tons of flavor and a good amount of great topping. Meat was tender too. We also had the olive burger cooked medium & tater tots. The burger was cooked just right, pretty thick & juicy. Tots were as expected, hot & crispy. On a previous visit we tried the fish tacos which are also recommended. Huge pieces of fish. There are a great variety of beer options and full bar. Our waiter/waitresses have always been nice and pretty on top of things. Sometimes things here do seem to take a while - getting your food, drink etc. We used to come here a couple years ago and had poor experiences. Heard there may be new owners or management so tried it again. Glad we did because now our last 2 experiences have been pretty positive. BUT - MBC should do something about their gross bathrooms!!!!! For a man to come out saying it was worse than a dingy gas station bathroom is really saying something!!!! Should be an easy fix. Also, dim the lights during dinner!!! They have bright led bulbs....one time lights were dim, next time turned up super bright. Be consistent. Happy they have some small TVs if you're trying to watch a game. Tons of open wall space so they really could get more and bigger TVs. Would likely get more people in for games.

    5-stars for this fantastic restaurant and brewing company! Angie, our bartender/waitress was outstanding. She made excellent suggestions and offered great insight into the local community and happenings around town. She was even creating drinks that day from the blackberries from her own garden. She is heavy handed on her pours, which is a huge plus. The metered parking is free on Saturday and Sunday as well as after 6pm during the week. This restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating options. Plus, the offer their own brews of beer that were pretty darn great! But the show stopper was the lobster grilled cheese and truffle fries. Holy crap! This is a from scratch kitchen, and you can absolutely tell. See the photo...the chunks of lobster in this grilled cheese is no joke. I don't find myself in this area typically...but next time I am I am making it a point to stop here.

    Prosciutto pizza
    Tonesa G.

    Delicious! I was a little scared to try pizza with toppings that included sunflower seeds and honey, but YUMMY!!

    Buffalo Chicken Salad
    Jennifer C.

    Yummy salad with incredible Mac & cheese as well. Don't forget to try the donuts at the end!

    A great brewery; both the beer and food were delicious and service was perfect. I ordered a high gravity IPA that was awesome. I had chicken nachos and my Mom ordered their homemade black bean burger and garlic fries. Everything was hot, fresh and yummy. The black bean burger had a perfect texture and my tortilla chips were homemade. Fresh veggies and salsa. Yum! Can't wait to go back the next time I'm in Lansing.

    Home made donuts rolled in cinnamon sugar.  Caramel sauce and bittersweet chocolate sauce.
    Whitney C.

    Friendly staff who are happy to help answer questions and make recommendations. A colleague and I had dinner on a weekday - in town for a conference and not familiar with the restaurant - and would definitely recommend to others and return if we're ever in the Lansing area again. Fish and chips were hot and crispy, with solid fish and non-greasy garlic fries. Good selection of ciders (usually just beer in most places), and house made donuts for dessert were perfect.

    Twisted Turkey. Supposed to be smoked turkey. No smoke detected.

I completely understand this is a college bar and that staff deal with drunk students causing scenes all the time... but this was not one of those situations. My friend, who was visiting and unfamiliar with the area, was put out on the street without her phone, leaving her with no way to get home safely. That alone was concerning enough. When I calmly asked a bouncer (a Black man with dreadlocks) for his name so I could follow up with management the next day, I was laughed at and told that the managers "do not care." That response was shocking and incredibly unprofessional. When I then respectfully asked if I could just make sure my friend was okay and get her belongings back, I was physically pushed out the door with hands and yelled at with no explanation. Most of the other bouncers (with the exception of one) were equally rude, laughing at us, mocking us, and repeatedly yelling "just leave" from behind the door while completely ignoring any attempt to have a calm conversation or understand what happened. We were not aggressive, we were not causing a scene, and we were simply trying to resolve a situation involving someone's safety. It was honestly disturbing to see that level of disregard and lack of basic human decency. Situations like this require at least a minimum level of communication and professionalism, and that was completely absent here. These staff members seriously need basic life skills and a better understanding of how to treat people. I will absolutely never be spending money here again, and I would strongly caution others about how situations are handled at this establishment.

And if you're even lucky enough to know a member you can be taken up to special areas that have restricted access to the general public. The outdoor experience is just as wonderful. Cornhole always available for competitive or even friendly matches between friends and/or family member .

Instead, their table was in the far back--the worst spot in the venue. When they called ahead, the venue assured them the VIP package included special perks.

When they politely inquired about the promised items, the manager rudely responded with, "Well, what do you want?" in a snotty tone, followed by, "We're a small business."
