This was a delicious experience and we were pleasantly surprised by how good the food here was. We did two different apps during this visit. First up were the Cheese Curds with ranch. The breading very crispy, and it had a good flavor to it. I would say I was a little disappointed that these were made with mozzarella and basically just a mini mozzarella stick. But the flavor was still good and they paired well with the ranch. For the second app we went with the Pretzel Sticks with house beer cheese, mustard, and a peanut butter and jelly spread. The pretzels were warm and doughy inside, perfectly salted, and I devoured that beer cheese sauce! For my main I ordered their Blue Fig Burger. Fig jam, bacon, arugula, blue cheese crumbles and sautéed onions on a brioche bun. It was more of an artesian burger and it did not disappoint. The flavors went so well together and were unexpectedly great with the smash burger patty. They were very busy when we arrived but we were seated quickly and the service was on point. The waitress was checking on our table, and our mains were out in no time. The Brewery is currently rated at a 7.5 on my Beli and it's a great spot if you're looking for good beer, apps, and burgers! read more

Wow. Craving a beer and a burger. Sat at the bar. Busy but not too busy. Young lady bartender never looked at us, nor acknowledged us. So, we waved her down after about 10 minutes. Ordered two beers. Never got them. She continued to ignore us and serve others who came in after us. Talk about rude service! We left without getting our drinks. Drove 5 minutes down the road to the Side Door Saloon. Outstanding service and great beer and burgers. read more

Service is great. Fast, friendly and informative. The beer, which is their shinning star - I don't know. I tasted 5 and didn't find one I really enjoyed. The other choices were not my style, so I sipped my beer of choice and in the end didn't finish it. The food is also mediocre. It's the exact same menu from years ago. Nothing unique, nothing setting it apart. It's a brewery so I guess beer - not food, is the focus but for the prices, I would expect more. I would opt for better quality. We also come here when in town and each time a little bit more disappointed. read more

Everyone in my family has been here for dinner, but this was my first time and I really enjoyed it! I was intrigued by all of the sandwich options and was happy they had a gluten free bun option. Service was quick and friendly. While not mind-blowing, I would happily recommend this restaurant and would go again! read more

I ordered a Patty Melt expecting onions, cheese, and ground beef, similar to the fantastic one served at Big Boy's. It was a carryout, so I didn't know, until I took a bite, what a boring tasteless sandwich this was. Maybe a tsp of onions, and a tbsp of cheese on the rye bread, no beef flavor whatsoever. I had to add mustard and ketchup and that's all I tasted for $16. Nope, never going back. The carry out service was great. read more

Food and drinks were good and service was fine - but they were way too focused on closing on time. We got to the restaurant at around 7:45PM and the sign said the kitchen closed at 8:30 and the bar at 9. Hostess told us it would be a maximum of 30 minutes to get a table. It starts getting later and the hostess tells us that she's unsure when the table she planned to seat us at will leave and she's worried about the kitchen closing. So we split our party into 2 tables and then the waitress shows up at our table 30 seconds after we sit down and tells us she needs to take food orders and she'll come back for drinks because the kitchen is closing. I understand wanting to get people out on time, but don't let people wait and then make it a huge rush - just tell us at 7:45 when we arrived that you are not going to be able to seat us. read more

Fantastic spot to stop and have a great dinner with family/friends to try some delicious food/beer! We stopped prime dinner time on a Friday and were seated quickly and had quality service the entire time. This place seems to have a lot of seating available, and the kitchen was very efficient with our 4 meals. Everyone loved the food here and the drinks made for an even more enjoyable atmosphere. They even had canned drinks available to take home with! Definitely will be back on the next trip up in northern Michigan read more

We didn't grab any pictures of our food, which is unfortunate. We were really looking forward to coming here because the building looked super cool. However, our food was pretty gross, and I don't say that to be rude. We were just really not impressed. My husband got a sandwhich, that just was lacking. I got a orzo pasta salad as a side and it was honestly terrible, I just didn't eat it. We sat under a massive fan, we were so cold even my husband had to go get his jacket. Sadly wouldn't recommend this spot. read more

Service was top notch. Bar maid had my drink to me before I was even settled in my stool!

3.75 stars It was ok Food was ok Beer was ok , we asked the waitress some questions about the beers and she was like Ummm ya I don't know. Overall it was just ok read more

Brewery#271 We stopped in here on our way from the Sleeping Bear Lakeshore to Mackinaw City. When we pulled into the parking lot, I was immediately excited because I loved the look of the old building. When we walked in, I asked the hostess if we could just get beers at the bar. She said sure. Well the bar was full but we ordered flights then were told that we couldn't bring the flights to their back patio because the samples are glass. I thought this to be odd because I have been to 270 other breweries almost always get a flight and almost always drink them outside. Well the bar was full so we tried to sit at a high top table in the bar area. That too was a no-no because you have to ask the hostess to sit there. I ask the hostess and she tells me we have to order food to sit there despite there being plenty of tables open. We weren't hungry so we stood at the edge of the bar with our flights. Seemed like i had a better chance of breaking the glass this way. It was an annoyance but we persevered. Anyway the beers are actually good. I got the S'mores Dark Lager, Dornish Summer Hefeweizen, Wanderlust IPA and Space Filler (American IPA). My favorite of them was the Hefe. The people were nice, The beer was good but my experience was kind of a pain in the ass. read more

Good food for sure. The orzo pasta salad was excellent. The prime rib sandwich was really good. Wish it had a bit more meat but otherwise was flavorful. Service was friendly and efficient. Neat little place as well w ambiance read more

Server: Evonne - great job. Beer- very good. Smash Burger - good. Sweet Potato Fries - not good, dripping with oil and overcooked. Pizza good. The bad - management customer service. The restaurant offers a beer garden where you can have beer and pizza. We ordered beer and pizza when waiting for our table. The table on the back porch, in eye shot of the beer garden, became available right when the pizzas came out. Therefore, we brought the pizzas and the beers to the table. Then a management person came out of the building and scolded us for having the audacity to bring our pizza to the table. Then insisted that we bring it back to the beer garden to finish in the middle of ordering dinner. So we had to split the group up or throw out the pizza, that we just ordered from the same restaurant, because of some rulebook that was not given to our party of five prior to ordering. So, dinner hour was destroyed. Ridiculous customer service, made up rules, and management. read more

Walking in it looked like a great brewery, the food looked amazing. Down side, we waited, and waited and waited with no staff acknowledgement. Tables were cleared all around, but it took forever to get anyone to seat us. Once seated we waited 20 minutes with staff walking by and cleaning up other tables(we were the last group in a line of three tables) the dinner rush was over. We finally got up, started to walk out and a staff member has the audacity to say oh we were just coming to take your order. Worst experience in a very long time. Can't comment on ambiance as we really did enjoy waiting. read more

Stopped by for an afternoon snack after a day on the road. Chicken tenders and delicious Parmesan fries paired with a pumpkin beer and Juicy IPA.

Enjoyed a hard cherry seltzer and classic burger with Parmesan garlic fries at this historic brewery. The smashed burger, cooked medium, was tasty with added lettuce, pickles, purple onion, tomato and a slice of melted cheese. It came with a side of crunchy Kettle chips. Expected a little more flavor from the Michigan cherry seltzer. It was more seltzer than cherry. The only major disappointment were the Parmesan garlic fries. While they were crispy on top, the potatoes underneath the top layer were soggy and limp. We ate only half of them. Service was great. A cheerful server checked on us several times. And the atmosphere was typical brewery with plenty of talkative patrons. read more

While vacationing up north, we popped into Petoskey Brewing for dinner. We were able to quickly get a table on the patio and were greeted by a very friendly server. I never pass up soft pretzels for an appetizer. I really enjoyed the spicy brown mustard. The PBJ sauce really wasn't for me. I asked our server for some recommendations. He immediately suggested the smash burger taco, which happened to be what I had my eye on. These were packed full of flavor and now I want to try to make them at home. It started POURING rain while we were on the patio. We were able to stay outside but got moved to another table with help from a very accommodating staff. We will return the next time we're in the area! read more

Solid food. Solid beer. Solid service. It was a cool vibe in the restaurant. It was a little hot, but I think it was due to the time of the day and the sun hitting in the windows. read more

Wow. Petoskey Brewing is so great! Yes, this building captures your attention from the outside, but what is inside is just as impressive. The menu is killer, and the staff are super helpful. Definitely a great place to check out when in the area. read more

Came to this place for lunch! We were greeted when we walked in and we're seated quickly. We loved the environment and the style of the building. Was also cool to see the history on the menus. After being seated we ordered appetizers. Our appetizers were the pretzels and buffalo cauliflower! I loved the three sauces that came with the pretzels!! The cauliflower was good as well. Our main entre items were delicious. My spicy burger was incredible! Loved the flavor and the bacon on the burgers! Fries were crispy and the sauces were very good! Over all we really liked our food and service from Jen was decent. Over all would come back! 8/10 read more

My significant other and I were in the area and wanted to find a tasty spot! This one didn't impress me much in the end, but it sufficed. The inside seemed small and cozy in a quirky way. We got the Parmesan Garlic Fries to share. These were Beer-batter fries and they were served with a side of ranch dipping sauce. They were $9.00 and they ended up being good. I ordered the Pesto Chicken for my main food item and it was $16.00. It had Smoked pulled chicken, sun-dried tomato, fresh sliced mozzarella, basil pesto and garlic aioli on a hoagie bun. It was served with potato chips & a pickle spear. The sandwich sure was tasty, but it was small. I expected it to be bigger for the price it was. The chips and pickle spear were both decent. For my first drink, I went with the 1898, which was a Lager - American Light. It was 16oz for $6.00. It had a crispy taste and I enjoyed it. We shared the Red Brick Hard Cider, which was a Cider - Traditional. This one was 16oz for $6.00. The flavor was smooth and it made for a calm drink. We also tried the Michigan Cherry Hard Seltzer. It was 16oz for $5.00. I thought it was simply alright. It didn't throw off too much flavor in my opinion. We had to try the Michigan Cherry Spritzer before we left. It was made with Petoskey Brewing vodka, dash of bordeaux cherry juice, Petoskey Brewing Cherry Seltzer and a Bada Bing Cherry for $8.00. It was okay. It wasn't anything special! The service was good at first, but slowly declined. It ended sour with false pricing! Overall, this was a nice place to try, but not worth another visit. The portion sizes didn't match the prices. Date of visit: 3/18/24 read more

Stopped in early on Wednesday and it wasn't overly busy. I was thrilled because I could find a seat, order and take my time. Enjoyed a few beers, cider and cranium crush and topping that off with some fish and chips. There were 5 slender pieces of cod, fries, tarter sauce and coleslaw. The fish was delicious and not super greasy and the fries were perfectly done and not soggy. They also sell merch if you are interested. Overall cute little place inside and cool history building on the outside. The waitress was super nice and friendly. Stop in for a beer or food and check this place out. read more

We went on a little ski staycation and soon realized that almost no restaurants had seating of any type due to current quarantine restrictions. After eating meal after meal in our hotel room, we were so excited when we drove past Petoskey Brewing and noticed that they had a blazing fire and cute little tents set up out back for diners. They closed at 9pm and the last call for ordering food was 8:30pm. We arrived at 8:25pm and they let us place a quick smashburger and onion ring order at the bar inside. We also ordered two lagers and headed out to the back patio. Side note -- there was plastic hanging between you and the bartender and it felt very safe. All staff were masked up and social distancing was enforced too. There was luckily one tent available, although I'd recommend calling ahead if you're set on dining in one. Our little tent had twinkle lights hanging in it and it was adorable. You could zip it up or down and then the server would pop in quickly to drop anything off. There was a big group seated around a massive bonfire and it looked like a blast too. We'd definitely come back! read more

The food, the service, and the drinks were all outstanding! We loved every minute of our time there. It's going to be a regular stop now anytime we are in the area.

The food came out perfect, Caesar salad was ice cold and fresh, parm garlic fries were hot and delicious, and the best part of all was the burger. The Smokin Betty with the best onion rings ever. I would order this again and again except I want to try everything! read more

Wowza!!!!! We stopped in for a beer because of course you have to stop at Petoskey Brewery while in Petoskey. They also had quite a long wait so we headed out back for a beer on the patio. We were finally seated at the bar, which we enjoy, and ordered some burgers, which was a suggestion from the beertender. I can still remember the delicious flavor of the burgers. We both looked at each other and smiled without saying a word...We were in hamburger heaven! If I recall, they are not in the passport or part of the TagaBrew trail, but that shouldn't stop you from trying out this awesome brewery. read more

Finished up our bicycle ride with brews and dinner. Abigail was our cheerful server. After a short wait, we snagged a table on the deck outside. The warm pretzel appetizers come with three dipping sauces, the peanut butter and jelly was a favorite. I ordered French dip with onion rings. The bread was fresh and the sandwich was full of beef, onions, and mushrooms. Delish! There is a beer garden on the lower deck where no food is served. read more

Went there with the family for something light. Kid got wings and the battered fries. Kid liked the meal. Had concerns about beer battered fries but realized they were pretty good. Old lady got the pretzel and dip. Dip was peanut butter and jelly and their bar cheese. Not bad. The highlight is their lemonade. Great choice year round. I had the 1898. I must say, it reminded me of how good beer use to be. Before "light" and "ice" and low carb. Real beer. Decent atmosphere but seemed light on staff. read more

The beer here was pretty darn good. The building is really cool looking, and there is some history there. We did not get to order food, but everyone around us was ordering the fried cheese curds, and they both smelled and looked amazing. Wish i had had the chance to try them! The service here was not that great. The servers did a lot of standing around chatting near the bar, and less time tending the tables. It was crazy busy in there, too! Not sure how there was time to stand around like that! read more
