    Half Reuben with cup of beer cheese soup
    Stephanie J.

    We weren't expecting a brunch at a little after noon on a Sunday. We had looked at the apps on the menu prior to arriving so we were a bit disappointed. We inquired if brunch was the only menu and she said yes. Just ordered cokes and our meals. And waited ... and waited ... and waited. Kitchen was so SO slow. Our server came to refill our beverages once while waiting. It was not busy by any stretch of the imagination. The food was very good. I had the grilled cheese and was pleased with the level of spice and the fact it was shredded chicken and not a breast. The soup was as expected. My hubby found the beer cheese soup flour-y but my daughter and I thought it was good. Reuben was excellent according to my daughter. The temperature in the dining room was rather chilly for a day that was only in the high sixties outside. I would go back to try the apps and hope the service is better.

    We've been spending our summers in Manistee since the '90s. North Channel has been a great addition. The food is delicious and fresh, and the drinks are refreshing.

    Walleye tacos!

    I'm in Michigan and stopping in for brewery visit #262. I've never been to Manistee before and enjoyed the little downtown area. North Channel Brewing is a very well-appointed spot. Nice decor, lots of tables and plenty of bar space. I bypassed the "Please wait to be seated" sign and grabbed a bar seat. For a flight of four I chose the Mexican lager, Oktoberfest, the Sawmill stout, and the farmhouse cider. I don't usually go with a cider but I saw some really good comments about it on Yelp so I decided to step outside my comfort zone a little. The Mexican lager was good with a hint of a corn flavor to it. The Oktoberfest was a good example of a festbier. SWPFTD would enjoy this one for sure. The Sawmill stout was quite good. Not overpowering but very flavorful with toasty chocolate flavors throughout. Last up was the farmhouse cider. Yeah, I didn't really enjoy the cider. Don't let that deter you as I'm really not a cider fan but ordered it just after seeing some rave reviews. I've only had one cider I REALLY loved, which was a huckleberry cider at Edge Brewing in Boise. This one was certainly not bad just not quite my cup of...cider. Since I hadn't eaten all day except a snack on the plane, I ordered up some blackened walleye tacos. Let me tell you, those puppies were really good! NCB was a good stop. Great atmosphere, and really good beer and good. If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand. Yes, you will need to read into it a little to get the joke but I have confidence in you! I hope my confidence is not misplaced

    Food options and the quality has improved greatly over the past few years. They brew a wide selection of beers with numerous styles, ABV and IBU. Service during winter of 2022 has been stellar- they actually do better with fewer staff than when they had lots of younger less capable waitstaff. Full liquor license so you have wine / cocktail choices if you're not a beer-drinker. They sell quite a bit of merchandise as well as their own brews for takeout. Large city parking lot across the street with (slow) EV chargers so there's never a problem with that. Too bad there's little else on Washington Street north of River Street to explore but hopefully that changes over time. This is now quite a viable option for a good time, good food, and drinks near downtown Manistee. Trivia night on Monday night is new and hopefully becomes a local tradition.

    Can you bring dogs?

    I saw a group of people sitting on the outside tables with their dogs by the fence that they have. So to answer this for you, I would say yes, as long as you sit outside.
