    Outdoor area
    Jim R.

    Just a cool place to hang out and have a beer with your dog . Friendly staff, great beers and nice area to nag outdoors. Indoor seating is available as well. Sometimes the taco food truck is open

    The image shows a brick wall with a painted sign reading 'Firehouse Fire & Ice Brewing' in large, stylized letters. The sign includes a small script text in the middle. To the right, there are wooden shelves holding trophies, a speaker, and various items, indicating an indoor setting likely within a brewery or taproom.

    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!

    "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!

    Beers etc. on tap during last visit - A wall featuring several beer taps labeled with different beer names, styles, and alcohol percentages, with a small blackboard menu above listing weekly activities such as yoga, trivia, and jazz. The wall is tiled with white subway tiles, and there are bottles on a shelf above the menu. The setting appears to be a brewery or taproom.

    Cozy seating, delicious beer. Did not eat while here, but there was a food truck offering tacos.

    Cool bar

    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!

    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!!!

    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.

    The wall of taps for today July 25

    Tenacity is a tap room with a food truck that takes orders from the bar. the tap room opens at 3pm and the food at 4pm. It is about two blocks west of down town. Stop in Wednesday (July 25) for the first time. tried a pint each of the Milk Stout and the Sessions IPA. both were very good. I will visit again to sample some of there other beers.

    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.

    Cozy spot to sit.

My friends got a spirit flight and the Diablo Margarita. We kept going with a Strawberry Lavender Lemonade and Old Fashioned. Nothing disappointed! I asked that the strawberry lavender lemonade be made with vodka instead of gin, as I don't care for gin, but the owner convinced me to order the drink as it came and he did not let me down! Every drink we had was sooo good! The owner is truly passionate about what he does and is so knowledgeable and happy to explain all the processes.

While we are not huge beer drinkers they do have a nice assortment of in-house brews. We are more inclined to order wine or spirits & their wine list is rather small, their cocktails are decent pours. Above average & classier bar food, pretty good pizza but maybe order a little well done. The dal surprise is their steaks. I am pretty finicky preferring charred rare or Pittsburgh style which is not well-k own in these parts & requires a very hot grill. One of the owners, Louis, who is very hands-on, was manning the grill the last time we were in & our server I fed us that their grill was not as hot as required to really get that good char. No problem. The steak came out to my liking and Louis even came to our table to make sure I was happy with his artistry. Classy! And I was! Will be back soon and often.

I ordered a 10 oz sirloin steak that came with mashed potatoes and a house salad The salad came out and it looked pretty nice. It had greens, onions, cranberries, walnuts and bleu cheese. I could have done without the bleu cheese, but it was no biggie. My steak arrived and looked really nice with a demiglace and some veggies on top of it. It was cooked pretty perfectly medium rare. The restaurant itself had a kind of rustic vibe to it. It was also a brewery of sorts and had quite a lot of seating. Our waitress even offered us a discount for staying at our hotel, which was awesome. Overall, the food was good for the value and pretty tasty.
