Just recently, they have added pizza to their menu only on Mondays check it out. It's an absolute gem Detroit style pizza deep dish. They need to get some better ranch please please get some better ranch. Those little cups are absolute terrible but besides that, I love the tacos truck I love the pizza at this place. I love the building. I love the ax throwing I love the tiki torches in the summer. I love that it's right next to the Flint River and I love that they they're doing great things for the city of Flint. Can't forget the root beer it's just all tires together perfect for me love it. read more

We were on a Tagabrew trail and this was one of our stops. I must say that I did love the atmosphere here. There were lots of cutouts where you could sit and hang out. Some private romantic spots too. The seating was living room type and you really could get comfortable. Feels a bit like you're in someone's living room. Very cozy. We even saw nursing students there studying. Hahah. We both got a good laugh out of that. Nursing school is very tough and we both agreed that beer would have made studying more tolerable. They had a taco food truck out back. We didn't eat but the food smelled so good! The other patrons said it was amazing. The beer though... I was disappointed in the beer as was he. We both got a different kind too so I'm not really sure what wasn't right about it. Any way. We will probably give it another shot if we are in the area. We really liked the atmosphere! read more

I remember when this was a vacant building and squatters were living here, and now it's a Flint staple! So glad someone came in and turned an abandoned building into something great for our city! Love their rotating taps, trivia nights and other popup events they have! The service is always great- everyone's friendly & down to earth. Tenacity has a laid black comfortable vibe. Right now they have a coffee cider on tap and I hope it never leaves!!!!! So good! read more

Tenacity is a true brewpub with a great selection of local beers, friendly staff and a neighborhood feel. I love the atmosphere here, it has a real "beer hall" feeling with open seating, indoor and outdoor venues, board games and evening entertainment. The staff here is awesome, they made us feel welcome and helped everyone choose their beer by giving us a few samples to try. If I had one suggestion, it would be to expand their kitchen. Very limited pizza options, though the pizza was really, really good. Overall, this is a great place to go with groups or with friends for a night out. Not a sports bar, not a fancy dining experience. Just great beer, pizza and a friendly atmosphere. read more

"I aspired to the purity of the blessed malt." Someone is a poet of maybe not epic but at least respectable proportions. I'll come back to that later... Here we are with brewery visit #190! And this is a good one! Tenacity Brewing is in an unassuming old brick building and I drove right by it the first time. But coming the other way I saw quite a few cars in the parking lot which to me, a trained observer, is called a clue. There is no big central area but multiple smaller rooms. One obviously has a bar with seating nearby but several other rooms are also available affording a little smaller spaces especially good if you want to find a quieter area. They also have a large patio area which backs up to the river and I overheard the bartender telling someone that during the summer they have kayaks which they launch right off the bank. Cool stuff! I went with a flight of six beers and have to say they were all great in their own style. Surfer Blue is a blueberry wheat with a nice blueberry flavor and aroma. Not overpowering and just a good beer for me. The Atwood amber was next in honor of SWPFTD. The Amber was smooth with plenty of malty flavor. Lawnmower lager is a good lawnmower beer. Light in flavor and easy drinking. No off flavors at all. Aye, I do love a Sassin Lassie! I also love a Scotch ale so I had to go with this one. Very nice Scotch ale! The Sarsaparilla English IPA is the way I enjoy IPAs. Good aroma and flavor without the mind numbing, neck beard pontificating bitterness. Last one for me was the Woolen Mill milk stout. Great flavor and mouthfeel with the sweetness from unfermentable lactose. This was a great little stout. As I was tasting my beers I saw that a bard of beers had scribed on the wall: "From the moment I understood the weakness of my Busch it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of an IPA. I aspired to the purity of the blessed malt. Your kind cling to your lites, as if they will not decay and fail you. One day the crude beverage you call a "beer" will wither and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the craft is immortal." Cheers to the poet who left that gem for me and others to find. A photo of it is included to memorialize not only the wise words but the artwork that accompanied it. And yes, the area it was written is designed for that very purpose. This is a great spot and the brewer obviously knows their business. I will definitely stop back in at Tenacity when I get back to the area. I would have had a pint to follow but I was operating on about 4 hours of sleep after flying halfway across the country. 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! read more

A lot of local places I visit tap brews by Tenacity Brewing. I had never been a fan, so this afternoon I decided to go on a deep dive. Standing at the counter, I tried basically all of the brews on tap AND combinations (listen to your trusty barmaids) and found there are several I do indeed like! Thank you for bringing me into the fold! read more

This place was breath of fresh air. Really enjoyed the ambiance and the taco truck is fire!

My boyfriend, his family and I were in Flint for a wedding and had some time between the ceremony and the reception so I found this place on Yelp. I'd never been to Flint before so I didn't really know what to expect, but Tenacity Brewing is definitely worth a stop if you're in this area. It's a bit of a diamond in the rough, as it's not really by anything else and the exterior is a bit unassuming, but the interior decor, beer, friendly staff, fun outdoor space, and an awesome-sounding food truck definitely make up for any shortcomings upon first glance. The space is pretty cool, with a front seating area that includes some really fun light fixtures and several high top tables. The bar is towards the back, which is on a wall tiled with subway tiles. There is a second seating area in back with more of a lounge feel, with wingback chairs, built-in bench seating, and a loveseat/couch. There are some board games as well. The outdoor space has plenty of seating and yard games! It was super hot when we were there, so we didn't sit outside, but it definitely looked like a fun place to be later at night. Tenacity doesn't have a kitchen, but there is a food truck onsite most days. We didn't get any food, but the menu I saw had a bunch of different tacos that all sounded AMAZING, plus the smells coming from the truck were mouthwatering. I ordered a flight, as I usually do on my first visit to a brewery. I tried three IPAs, a milk stout, a cider, and one other I can't think of. We also ordered a pint of the root beer, because I can't pass up a good root beer! All the beers were well-balanced - my personal favorite was the grapefruit IPA and the other group favorite was the milk stout. Prices are very reasonable for this type of place - $4-$7 for a pint or tulip. No doubt about it, I will certainly be back to Tenacity if I'm ever in the area again! read more

Great place to relax and have a beer and pizza. Comfortable interior with plenty of outdoor seating too. On the flint river

Amazing customer service provided by Jamie, not only when I ask some questions but also when I visited the business with my 11 year old Airedale Terrier. We felt right at home with the staff, patrons and the environment - on our first visit to their establishment for their Open Mic Night!!! I LOVE THIS PLACE!! A++++++ for friends, family and social gatherings!!! Thank you!!! read more

Tenacity Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Flint, Michigan

My brother took me here after a Michigan game. They serve all their own craft beer, non alcoholic beer and finger food. You order at the bar, take your drink or flight to a table that you choose with a number stick if you ordered food and they will bring that to you. I enjoyed all of their craft beers from the ciders to the stout. The fried chicken nachos were also very good. Food and beer is moderately priced. I'm not a fan of no table service but it might work for them. Cool, clean low lit vibe inside. Indoor/outdoor area with high top, chair, bench and picnic table seating split in multiple rooms. Patio area is has a decorative fence enclosure with a fire pit and corn hole game. Free WiFi. Lot parking. Live entertainment on evening weekends. I will return when I'm in the area. read more

Tenacity Brewing - The wall of taps for today July 25 - Breweries Near Me - Flint, Michigan

Top of my list for places to grab a beer in Flint. I really love how this place continues to evolve and has become so community-focused. Why is Tenacity awesome? Allow me to count the ways. 1. You can show up with your friends and your dog (no official kitchen means dog-friendly!), mosey up to the bar, and enjoy conversation with superfriendly staff. 2. If you are hungry, there's a good chance of eats. Vehicle City if often parked out back, serving THE MOST DELICIOUS TACOS in summer and a solid sammie/po boy selection in winter. Stalk Instagram accounts to confirm days and times that they are serving. Recently Tenacity has also been offering a selection of $1 donuts from the Blueline project. BlueLine Donuts is part of the Carriage Town Ministries' job skill and workforce training program and aims to teach restaurant skills and neighborliness through, in this case, donut creation. Hell to the yeah. 3. Heyday Coffee Roasters! Caffeine is a thing I enjoy all day every day, and early risers can now stop on by Tenacity for the their fix: they have a small coffee space in the front of the building that's open M-F, 7am-11am. And if you don't do mornings, fear not! Their nitro latte and nitro coffee are on top alongside Tenacity beers during the brewery's afternoon and latenight hours. YES PLS AND THANK YOU. 4. Summertime patio. 5. So chill and comfortable. All the vibes. read more

Fantastic fire pit if you like being outside in the winter. Their beer and cider are forever changing and fantastic. Honey Blu Blu and raspberry cheesecake stout is strong and smooth. Always a great experience. read more

This is a cool small brewery. There's an area by the bar and cool seating in the back with some couches and coffee tables. The beers were good- I had the amber and would recommend it. Also they have a food truck that opens at 4- such good Mexican food. You order food at the bar and they bring it in for you. read more

Coworker and I walked here from the Hilton Garden Inn. We got there around 430-5 on a Wednesday and not crowded at all so we had an easy choice of comfortable seats in a fun atmosphere. The beer was great. Will be back again. read more

Great brewery! Love the ambience-laid back and relaxed place to grab a beer with friends. Critical Stout and Honey IPA are the best! My favorite is Honey IPA, but Blonde Bitch is quickly becoming a serious contender. Some of the new ciders are also exceptional. Beers are rotated regularly, so just because your favorite was on tap last time doesn't guarantee it will be around the next time you stop in. Beer is sold by the glass or by the growler, but flights featuring tiny glasses of individual beers are also available. If you want to try out a beer because you're unsure, they sell sample glasses of any flavor for $1. Reasonable prices (most beers are $6 a pint, but some are more) and a fun, laid-back atmosphere. I love the decor, from the unique light fixtures and high-top tables with "Tenacity" carved into them to the intimate sitting area in the back featuring exposed brick walls and comfy couches and the outdoor beer garden featuring tiki torches and a game of Jenga. There's even a General Store where you can pick up Tenacity-theme clothing, pint glasses and even their famed growler to go! My only gripes are the currently limited days of operation (open three days per week) and limited food menu (coneys), but they do offer a vegetarian hot dog as well. The garlic dill chips are totally addictive. A definite must for any lover of craft beer. read more

Wash away any concerns or assumptions associated with Flint's water supply. Tenacity Brewing has implemented a water filtration system that yields perfectly healthy water...and even better beer! Their service behind the bar rivals that of the best micro-breweries I've visited in my travels. Friendly, hospitable, and a great place to hang out - with giant Jenga, beanbags, and a patio fireplace to boot. They offer a range of beers as well as a couple ciders and a non-alcoholic root beer...all of which exceed par for the brewery scene. If you have the opportunity to taste their cherry milk stout, do it. It's smoky, subtle sweet notes pair perfectly with an evening campfire. Skål! read more

Very friendly staff and fun crowd! Loved the recommendations from the brewers and fun crowd and atmosphere. Can't wait to visit in the summer months. read more

Where to begin?! Tenacity is one of my favorite places to eat and drink. Their patio is probably my #1 favorite place to be with friends on a summer evening. There are yard games like giant beer pong, toss across (or "cornhole"), and a huge fire pit. Tons of seating on benches or picnic tables is available, or guests are welcome to bring their own lawn chairs. It's very cozy, as you are surrounded on three sides in the patio/yard area and one side is backed up to the lush, green bank of the river. Dogs are also welcome! They have a beverage to please just about everyone, even non-drinkers or those that don't adventure too far in the craft beer scene. All of their hard ciders and mead style drinks are delicious. They have three options that are non-alcoholic, including a draft root beer and two types of Nitro Cold Brew Coffee - one of them is a creamy latte blend. The coffees can also be served hot. My favorite beer is the Farmers Daughter, which is an IPA. The Vehicle City Taco truck is almost always outside. It serves Po' Boys in the cooler months, and tacos in the warmer months. The Poutine Po' Boy is my favorite sandwich, and the tacos are absolutely gigantic and so fresh. But if you're not feeling it, you can also have food delivered or bring your own. We have had Dominos pizza delivered through the Dominos app. I think the bartender might even have menus from nearby places that you could take a look at. There are often events happening, so keep an eye on their Facebook page and the event calendar near the front door. I've attended History Happy Hour, live music events, and comedy nights at Tenacity. read more

A great first experience! I had the verde nachos from Vehicle City Tacos and the cherry bomb cider. My family tried several of the tacos and raved about them. A cool vibe and quality food and drinks. read more

Tenacity Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Flint, Michigan

4 different beers, all great! Little sister pale ale, farmer's daughter, 2nd shift session IPA, cherry milk stout! YUM!

The atmosphere. The patio. The food truck. The staff. THE BEER. Really, there is nothing bad to say about this hip (but not hipster), funky brew pub. Let's start with the beers, cause that's why we are all here. The Farmer's Daughter IPA is a full-bodied but not too hoppy delight for beginner hop-heads. The Blue Collar Pineapple Saison is notable for its delicate pineapple aroma which enhances the balanced malt and hop, an all-day drinker for sure! Now for the eats. Although Tenacity is not a restaurant, there is a food truck (Vehicle City Tacos) parked behind the building from which a most delicious Po Boy sammich may be ordered. Even if you're not hungry, at least get an order of the Curry fries. Just do it. read more

Stopped in for some quick tastes to see what it was all about. Tried two beers and two ciders. We inched our way through the line watching the two slowest beer slingers in the West. Finally our time had come and I asked if I could get a few tastes without getting a whole flight. At first he said "yes, but you have to pay for the whole flight" then the bartender who WASNT pounding back beer told him he could charge us the sample price. I also ordered two tacos, he repeated back "two tacos" (the review of the trash food can be found on the trash taco trucks yelp). The beers were palatable but if I had not seen them come from different taps I would believe they were the same beer. The cider recipe needs a lot of work. He brought us our taco. Singular. I said "we ordered two" he said "no you didn't". I'm glad I didn't pay for two because we didn't eat 1/2 of the taco we did get. All in all- awful service, mediocre beer, awful food, cute place with an awkward layout read more

Great atmosphere!!!Dog friendly. Beer is good food was also good with average portions.

Excellent locally owned brewery. Go Flint! Try the Downriver Dunkel or one of the ciders. I have a real taste for the darker ales. The variety is killer and it continually rotates. There's always something new. Recently, I've gotten into craft beers, so this is my new place to hang with my friends and try some new ones. Get a flight if you're unsure of what you might want. Samples are $1. Love the atmosphere. All my friends like chilling here, too. It has TVs on the wall, so we can catch a game, and the background music is usually good, not blaring overhead. It has a cool, chill vibe. read more

I liked this place a lot. It's nice to see the area get such a great brewery! I had the strawberry blonde which was really good. My favorite were the ciders!

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good craft beer in the Flint area. read more

I've been here multiple times, and that means something. I love the rise of locally owned business in Flint, and with Michigan having tons of breweries already, it made sense that Flint has one now. The atmosphere is great! Very welcoming staff, and a great selection of beer. I'm a big fan of the Honey IPA! The bartender is awesome and loves people.
