LOVE LOVE LOVE Nocturnal Bloom. Such delicious beer and friendly staff…read more My friends and I stopped in here on a Wednesday afternoon a couple of weeks ago after reading on the beach and had such a fun time. They are in a communal space with a coffee shop and food vendor, so there's something for everyone. Lots of natural light, clean bathrooms, room to work remotely, hangout with friends, etc. They are also pet-friendly (we met the cutest mini Aussie). We all did flights and got to-go beers to take back home and share with our significant others. I ended up getting 10 because there were 4 beers I absolutely loved and they also had a hazy IPA I wanted to bring back for my husband to try (he loved it). They also have Underbergs, which were a nice pick-me-up. We stayed for a couple of hours tasting our beers and playing a word game we picked up at a local book store earlier that morning. Overall, it was a lovely time and I can't wait to come back again.

The bier garten is constantly voted one of the best in the conference and depending on the time of year you visit it may be filled with cozy igloos, roaring bonfires or like today, just a awesome summer vibe. The staff are always friendly, the food gets better every time we visit and the beer is delicious! And now that they distill their own spirits, my wife is even more excited to visit Hop Lot, she even bought a tee shirt on this visit which is a very rare thing for her to do. Thanks Hop Lot!

My girlfriend and I recently returned from a vacation to the area, we spent a day in Traverse City…read more I wasn't impressed with the Workshop in the slightest. Although the wildfire smoke likely kept some people away, we came around mid afternoon in what should be the beginning of prime time hours and the place was empty. Not a good sign. I found it a bit odd that we had to order at the bar, considering only 2 other groups were there. There were like 4 employees just chatting away at the bar as well. At this point I know what I like in craft beers and I usually never have an unpleasant experience trying them, but we liked nothing we ordered on the beer flight! We had put in an order for the BBQ flatbread as an appetizer as well, and the chicken was super dry. I can't blame the sauce for being to spicy since I'm sure it's a popular local brand. That one's on us. We decided to have an actual dinner closer to our cabin.

It was a mixed crowd, with lots of families and young children. I had the Northwoods Blueberry Açaí mineral water while I waited and it was SO GOOD. Once we were seated and placed our order at the bar, the food came out fairly quickly.We had the hummus appetizer, the Rocket and the Three Rivers. I loved the Rocket - I love any pizza with goat cheese! This was a great spot to kick off our vacation with the fam after a long day of travel!

When we got there, the hostess warned us that the pizzas were taking up to an hour to make. I appreciate that they warned us before we committed to dining there! We didn't mind the wait. There are no waiters, so you order everything at the bar then they bring your food to you with a table number. I ordered the raspberry beer and it was really good. I typically don't like beer, but I love fruit flavors. As an appetizer, we got the red pepper hummus and it was meh--I didn't really like it. It was thick and had the texture of cold refried beans and instead of pita, it was served with tortilla chips that tasted like Tostitos brand. For my flatbread pizza, I chose the Wolverine which was topped with pineapple, pepperoni, jalapeños. I've never had pineapple on pizza so I can't really be a good judge, but it was alright. I liked how thin the crust was. For dessert, we got the mini ice cream bars as recommended by the woman sitting near us. They're Ice Box Brand Ice Cream Bars by a Michigan-based company. They sell two sizes: regular and mini. I chose a mini toffee crunch and it was the perfect size. It was really good. I'd love to just buy these ice cream bars to have at home!!

I went with a Gyro ($10). It came with lamb, tzatziki, tomato, onion, and romaine. This was very good. The pita was stuffed with plenty of everything. The tzatziki was key as it brought everything together. The lamb was nicely seasoned, and I liked the slight crisp from the pita. The homemade chips were flavorful too. I also tried the garden salad with shredded chicken. It was decent. Everything was chopped small, which was enjoyable. The chicken could have been a little more seasoned. Will I go back? I would.

Watched as two servers served other tables drinks and food and the outdoor hostess stared incessantly into her phone until new customers came up. A family, they were seated and immediately waited upon.. We sat there 10 minutes without a single effort to acknowledge our presence let alone get an order. We left and I told the hostess as she looked up from her phone in shock, "we were never waited on." I don't know if the shock was that I interrupted her or she actually didn't believe me.
