    two glasses of beer and a bag of pretzels
    Jessica M.

    A nice stop in the grand ledge area. My husband and I were on the beer trail, so we opted for that- but they're cocktail list looked good. Not a huge kitchen, but there are food options available if you're hungry. Or you can just snag a bag of pretzels like we did!

    Wow!! We loved it here!! We decided to take a day trip to Lansing and grab some tagabrews. Our plan was to come and check it out. Have a drink, grab a tag, and move on. Buuuuttt... We walked in to a full house. And found out it's TRIVIA NIGHT!!! We love trivia and have been partners for the past 10 years. Well they had already started so we knew we couldn't actually play. That's ok though. We started helping two guys next to us and then basically became a part of their team. We had an absolute blast!!!we never moved on from that spot and stayed all night theree. They had great beers and some really amazing cocktails. I may have over indulged a bit lol. They had these great tagabrews. Omg I loved them. The atmosphere was perfect. The bartenders super fun and friendly. The crowd was full of energy and really some genuinely fun people there. I would happily go back!! We loved it!!!

    Stopped by as part of a road trip to take a break from driving. Not very impressed with the interior design and atmosphere. Staff bartender wasn't very engaging as I asked if their wines, ciders, and spirits were all brewed / bottled locally and they just responded yes. Most bars and tasting locations would be more engaging with the history and details. Cider was good. No food menu (or at least not offered to us). Pass.

    Such a great environment with everything from beer, cider, cocktails and food truck! Seating from bar, table or couches making it great for a simple trip or big groups! So much entertainment with back drops and art to look at!

    Good beer great vibe. The atmosphere is honey and friendly. Would be 5 Stars if the food was inhouse not a truck outside.

    Their tasting room. They have these comfy couches for lounging, and also larger tables if that's what you'd prefer

    This awesome little distillery is in a converted church. I guess that's where they get the name! It's a favorite spot of my sister's so we stopped in during their open hours. You can try anything you'd like, all their liquors are made in house and there are plans to expand to beer and wine eventually. On certain days (mostly Saturdays I believe), they have a food truck parked outside for purchase, which goes nicely with their drinks. Their spirits are carefully made in very small batches. I highly recommend giving them a shot, they're just a super cute little distillery on Saginaw Highway in Grand Ledge, a very small town on the outskirts of Lansing. I sampled pretty much everything they had and landed on a vodka tonic as the drink I bought. I was excited because they have the same ice machine I have, which makes little bullet shaped ice cubes! The owner/manager gave me a tour of the facility and showed me how everything was made. It was a short tour, just the one room with the one working machine. That's how small batch these liquors are. So very cool.

    Made my first trip to Sanctuary Spirits for a work social event and had a great time playing trivia! Starting at 6:30pm every Monday, the bar has a team trivia game that is free of charge and offers gift certificates for the top three teams. The trivia games lasted about two hours and went at just the right pace. I tried two of their beers (the Raspberry Saison and the brown) and both were great. I also loved that they had a taco food truck in the parking lot and that you could bring your food into the bar to eat. I'll save my review of the food truck for another post, but all-in-all, the experience was nice and we will definitely be back!

    Great beer and fair prices. My wife likes the orange cream drink made with vodka that they distill themselves.

Our appetizers were each excellent. Our group ordered the Brussels sprouts and white fish dip. Would order those again. For entres, we enjoyed the burgers, filet mignon, chicken bowl, and crab caps. Each of us enjoyed our meal and agreed we would recommend these plates to family & friends. The service was lights out. Attentive, fast, yet not intrusive. From beginning to end, on a busy evening, the team performed exceptionally. Well done EnVie team. We will certainly be back.

    Update: I am sorry…read moreto update everyone that Travis left EnVie. The new bartender leaves so much to be desired. Pretentious bartender who really really wants to be known for being a mixologist. Don't you dare ask to modify any of his ingenious cocktail creations. I've been to many many bars in my lifetime. Nice bars, hole in the walls, distilleries, hotel bars, outdoor bars, cute little trailer-wedding bars, speakeasies. You get my point. My standards are high but i'm down wherever too. this is the first time anyone has refused to modify a drink for me. and i'm not talking about changing everything. i'm talking about swapping out mezcal for gin (there are barely any gin cocktails anymore). i've been here three or four times since the new bartender-- and i don't even sit at the bar anymore. the only redeeming quality of the place is the chef(s?) who I feel really takes care of people and makes the food with love and care and excellence. the burgers and steak are literal perfection. Le sigh. Travis if you're reading this-- Mike and I miss you!! Management, please try to get him back! Give him a fat raise! anything! your restaurant is going downhill quickly because 1) Travis is gone 2) Inflexible pretentious guy took his place.

Our server, Tanner, was genuinely kind and welcoming, which made a big difference. The table was set nicely when we arrived -- wine glass and water glass, silverware wrapped with cloth napkins on a side plate, and a candle lit off to the side. It felt thoughtful and perfect for a date night. We split the French Onion Soup to start, and it was delicious. Maybe a little pricey at $12, but it came with lots of cheese and bread (plus bread on the side), so it felt worth it as a starter. My boyfriend ordered a Long Island Iced Tea -- strong, but no complaints there -- and I got cranberry juice. Both drinks came out in the same glassware as the water, styled like cocktails, which I actually appreciated. No weird "different treatment" if you're not drinking alcohol, which is always a plus to me. We also did the Build-Your-Own Board, which was really fun, and Tanner was super helpful in guiding us through the choices. We picked Summer Sausage, Garlic & Herb Soft Cheese, Smoked Gouda, Fire Roasted Tomatoes, and Balsamic Onion Jam. The Fire Roasted Tomatoes were SO GOOD, and I usually don't even like tomatoes. They were soaking in olive oil (I think?), which had great flavor and paired perfectly with the bread and Garlic & Herb Cheese. I also really enjoyed the Balsamic Onion Jam, savory, slightly sweet, and a little goes a long way. Overall, everything tasted great. I was a little disappointed in the portion of Smoked Gouda compared to the soft cheese, especially considering some soft cheeses can retail around $30 per pound. If you're looking for the best value, you might consider a different cheese option. That said, extra bread was only $1, which felt like a great deal for the amount we received. We were honestly getting pretty full and almost couldn't finish it all. We were seated in the cellar area, which was okay, just a little small, and the music was pretty loud. Not ideal for a Valentine's date when you're trying to have a conversation. Random but important: the bathrooms were spectacular. Individual, spacious, very clean, nice sink setup, pump soap, automatic paper towel dispenser, and even a candle lit. Honestly, 10/10 bathroom experience. Overall, it's a really solid date night spot with great service and good food. Just a couple small tweaks (music volume and cheese portions!) would make it even better. We'd definitely come back.
