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.

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.

This is another one of those establishments Yelp was designed for. DeWitt isn't that far of a drive…read morefrom my home, but I happened to be nearby for work. Of course I'm gonna Yelp the area and see where my fellow Yelpers are gonna take me. I'm not a wine person, but I definitely am a burger and beer connoisseur. I needed a quiet place to do a little work on the laptop too so I headed to the Bridge Street Social. I got there shortly after it opened and was seated right away. The staff were super friendly, and it's pretty obvious they love working here. I order the wagyu double cheeseburger and a beer they had on tap. I have to say everything about this burger was on point. Well seasoned smash patties, fresh ingredients, and a perfect sauce. I'm not a huge fry guy either, but even those were tasty. The interior of the business was small. There's a couple walk throughs into additional dining space from a room next door, but I'd suggest sitting in the main bar area. It's not a big space but that's where all the action is. A cozy place with friendly staff and even friendlier customers. Parking can be a little a little bit of a walk on busier nights. There's a few spots available out front, and a few more down the side, but the rest are about a block or two away in nearby downtown lots. I ended up coming back a couple nights later because I wanted to bring my GF. We drove from home which was about a 30 minute drive. It was well worth it. We got the smoked meatloaf that is OFF THE CHARTS!! Meals can be a little pricey, but it's well worth the drive and the cost. If you want a cheap meal, order off a fast food dollar menu somewhere else. You want an all around fabulous meal, great atmosphere, and friendly conversation, I'll see you at the Social!!

We loved the Bridge Street Social. However it is not for everyone! If you're a Foody you'll love…read moreit! If you like to try new ingredients together or if you like craft drinks, c'mon! If you like career servers who love to tell you their history when asked, you'll love BSS! But if you like predictable, standard fare, with a predictable seating arrangement then you'll probably enjoy Outback better.

Started with whitefish dip, the bread was crispy and chewy, the dip delicious…read more I ordered Steak frites the mushroom and sauce in the steak was superb! Waitress was very attentive without hovering. We Would recommend En Vie!

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.
