Fantastic place for local beer!!…read more My wife and I stopped by this place while visiting the area. Wow! For a small local downtown shop, this place has a fantastic collection of Michigan brewed beers. Some refrigerated, some on the shelf, and nearly everything available as a single bottle, they seemed to showcase the best beer Michigan has to offer. I'll admit, I went into the store looking for beer, but they also have a great selection of local wines and other products specific to Michigan. This is definitely going to be a stop on our next trip to MI!!

Charlotte's best kept secret for pizza…read more In my opinion, Swampers has the best pizza in town. AND their pizza isn't just for lunch & dinner. Their breakfast pizza is AMAZING. A fresh crust covered with sausage gravy then topped with scrambled eggs, cheese and your choice of meat. Do yourself a favor.... Choose Bacon.

I got a pint of their stout, being the dark beer girl that I am. It was roasty and delicious. My husband had the black IPA. I tried that too and yum! We decided to split a flight. I chose the brown and their porter. My husband chose the DIPA and the American IPA. All solid brews. This would be worth a re-visit on another MI trip.

In terms of things to do in Grand Rapids, visiting House Rules nears the top of my list. I'm not a…read morebig beer drinker, so I had my doubts, but in addition to a half dozen fridges full of beer, they had plenty of non alcoholic drinks, as well as hard ciders, seltzers, and canned cocktails. Many brands were local that I'd never heard of before, and it was fun to experiment and try new things. Their food menu honestly shocked me with how tasty everything was. For a board game bar, I usually expect food to take a back seat or be phoned in, but everything was delicious! I had to try the elote deviled eggs, which was a combo I had never considered but I'm so glad someone did! I also got the truffle mac and cheese and a house salad. Both were excellent! The board game selection was extensive, with old favorites and hidden gems. If I'm ever back in the area, I'll be sure to stop in again!

You can order from a QR code on the table and the food is brought to your table. For dessert we ordered a cookie skillet. We had a good time at Hose Rules and highly recommend it.

Our chosen Saturday night experience was to gather in Portland. I made an 8-person indoors…read morereservation for 7. When I arrived early just to check in, they said our table was ready whenever we wanted, and they happily started serving us at 6:30. Some people were seated outside, with tent umbrellas to shield the rain, and there was an upstairs room with more of a brewhouse experience. I recommend the latter if you're visiting. The downstairs room felt sparse and too open. Things got a little funky after that. Everything requires ordering through Toast, which worked for most of us but not all. Toast is missing the personal touch of people asking for your order when you are getting table service and not ordering at the counter. The one lady serving us was generous to personally take the order for my one friend who didn't want to put his credit card online. Otherwise, your order is carted over by "teenagers" (the lady's exact quote) from the smokehouse across the street. When you place your order, it comes out as it's prepared. Your table may not all come out at once, especially if it's 7 people like ours. Drink and deal with it, I suppose. But the wait from first dish to last wasn't terribly long. I really enjoyed my sandwich. They did a great job with their smoked chicken - I'm glad I let their smokehouse influence me. It was on an excellent pretzel bun. Great beer. So other than people's rumblings about Toast, we had a good time overall and didn't let the weather rain on our parade.
