Enjoyed the experience. Great tasting locally made beer & spirits. Food is yummy, easy to share with a group. Variety of board games free to play. Friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Will return!

Turkey melt with pepper chips
Kids P.

Kids perspective- Good service from our waiter named Jesse. I got a cream soda and it was mid but not bad. I also got the turkey melt and it was pretty good. Got a side of pepper chips they are VERY peppery, no wonder there is dip for them. Bathroom gets 2.5 flushes because it's only two stalls and water gets extremely hot to a point where it will steam. Overall the food was good and got in quickly with four people.

Lovely place downtown just off Main Street. Great place to stop after walking or biking on the rails to trails pathway. We were acknowledged right away and given menus. You can sample several beers in small 4 ounce glasses if you want variety. I tried Grand Armory White Chocolate which finishes with the taste of chocolate, Upper Hand Mano Superior which was a nice light beer, and I think it was Superior Strawberry something which I considered a dessert beer if there is such a thing. We also had a quick snack of guacamole and salsa. The guac was bland until we mixed some of the salsa in with it. Chips were thick and definitely not made there. The waitress accidentally gave us the wrong tab but otherwise provided good service.

the bar and the counter

We were in Midland for the day and googled a local restaurant. This WhichCraft Taproom came up with good reviews so we thought we would stop in for lunch. The minute we walked in the door I instantly liked this place. A young man told us the host would be right with us. The host then gave us the option of sitting inside or outside either in the front or the back. It was a fairly hot day so we decided to eat inside and we're seated immediately. Our waitress was Hannah and she was excellent'. Everyone was so friendly and service was excellent. I got the mozzarella caprese wrap and added chicken. It comes with a pickle and chips. For the chips you have the choice of regular, black pepper or barbecue chips all homemade kettle cooked. My friend got the white cheddar grilled cheese sandwich and it also came with a pickle and choice of kettle chips. Both of us had the option of a cup of fruit or a dip for the chips as another added side that was included with the sandwich. The sandwiches were huge. We each ended up taking 1/2 of the sandwich home with us for a snack for later. I would definitely come here again when I come to town.

Michigan craft beers and spirits at its best! Always a great selection of craft beers, seasonal cocktails and a yummy menu to choose from! Love the ambiance and how the bartenders are great!

Rum Sunset

Get ready to eat some excellent bar food! The grilled PBJ was chefs kiss. We also got the white cheddar grilled cheese. We added pesto, tomato and bacon. I'm salivating thinking about it! The chips and dill dips were a perfect addition, BBQ is my favorite! Jessie made a rum sunset that changed my life and the other person at the bar, John I think was his name made a banger of an old fashioned. All the staff was fun and kind even thought we walked in 30min until close. All and all will go back!

Turkey melt

If you love beer, this is the place for you! If you're coming for the food, it's also a win! Atmosphere: Cute little restaurant close to the Dow Gardens. There is a decent amount of spacing and the servers are great! There's also a variety of board games to choose from to play at the table. Food/Drinks: Anywhere that offers Beer Flights is a win for beer drinkers! They have very reasonable flights and a decently sized variety. I ordered the turkey melt with chips and dip and it was VERY good and VERY filling!

Our Tab and proof of server

Management Used profanity - Meals forgotten - nothing Comp'd - Customer Service not favorable - food good - BUT CLOUDED by poor customer service Visited from out of town, on a Thursday evening, not too busy, with my wife and kids and extended family. Our daughters meal was left off and her food wasn't delivered with the other food. We had to bring to our waitresses, attention that she never got her food, her reply was "Oh, what did she order?" She also, never brought any napkins to the table. She went back to the kitchen and said it would be . I then asked her what had happened, was her order left off. She replied "yes." I then asked will her meal be comp'd and she said I would have to get with management. Management never approached our table to apologize, and sent her back and said there would be a charge for the meal. I went to the bar to approach management, two managers, a male and female, and the male had a "brush off" type attitude from the start. I explained the situation and they stated they wouldn't comp the meal and and he even used profanity directed at me. Thankful I went to the bar and they didn't say that in fro t of the kids. Decent food, but the SERVICE is less than desirable, and the managers approach to customer service is totally unprofessional. Our server name was Emily K and the manager did not provide his name - but this is him in the photograph. BE CAUTIOUS of eating here - it's a shame - great atmosphere clouded by POOR service and bad judgement - Not Customer friendly!

We had excellent service here. The beer was good and we just wanted a little snack that ended up being a giant bowl of popcorn. Delicious!

Ask the Community - WhichCraft Taproom

Is this business kid friendly?

I have seen families with pre teens and infants there. Although it is mostly adults due to the craft beer and food parings.

Are dogs allowed in the outside sitting area?

Yes they are, in the back seating area. They'll even bring water for the dog!

Very good meal, one of the better places to eat in the Tri-Cities. Had the 3 meat dinner with Ribs,…read moreBrisket and Tri-Tip with Mac n Cheese, BBQ beans. All the meats were nicely smoked, fresh and tender. The Mac n cheese and Beans were very good. Cornbread was also good, moist and flavorful. The food came out very fast, drinks were also good.

The front door let in a blast of freezing air every time someone came in, making our food get cold quickly. Most importantly, the BBQ ribs that my mom had were burnt to a crisp. The coleslaw was awful and no one at our table ate it. It was tinged with a pink color...ugh. The smokes turkey that I ordered as part of a 2 meat dinner was drier than a bone. So they slathered some sauce on the top and called it good. Cornbread was good. Everyone complained about the over done meat...and in fine print, beware, if you order the St. Louis style ribs, they will add on a 8.95 cent up charge. For what???? Extra time on the "Barbie?" To top it off, they added a 20% tip to the bill AND they added a 3% surcharge to use our bank card. Overall, a terrible meal and better yet, the manager didn't believe us or care about our experience. Save your money.::go somewhere else.

Brinstar - Onion Rings

Brinstar is one of those places you walk into and immediately think, "yeah...I'm coming back."…read more If you're into retro vibes, this spot nails it. They've got a great mix of pinball machines, old-school arcade classics, and some newer games, so it doesn't feel like a museum, it actually feels alive. You can bounce between games, grab a drink, and just hang out without it feeling forced. What really surprised me though was the food. I expected typical bar food, but they go way beyond that. The brunch is legit, and the menu has some creative dishes that actually feel thought out, not just thrown together. It's the kind of place where you come for the games and end up staying for the food. The staff are super friendly and bring a fun energy without being over the top. It also strikes a nice balance crowd-wise. During the day, it's totally a spot you could bring your kids and let them have a blast, and later on it shifts into more of a social hangout where you can meet locals and vibe. Overall, it's just a really well done arcade bar that doesn't try too hard but still delivers on everything. Definitely worth checking out.

Wait in line, pick a table, a server will eventually arrive... if you want fast service go up to the bar or try another place downtown. Ordered three appetizers for three people worked great. Appetizers in multiples of three. So if you are in a larger party, have fun dividing the portions up. Bone-in Chicken Wings - ordered naked with Franks Buffalo Sauce on the Side for dipping. Asked for ranch for dipping, after two servers finally the "House Ranch" arrived which was premixed Dill Ranch Dressing. Not a good compliment to any of the appetizers. Onion rings were bland, but crispy. Falafel surprisingly great, crispy on outside, fluffy and tender interior, hummus was good. Careful with the allergen notes on the menu, double check with server right away before ordering if you have a severe allergy.
