    Beverage menu - Michigan's best!
    K M.

    Located near city center, parking is accessible on the street or out back. The hostess seated us immediately. The dining room is large, cavernous and full of community tables. I ordered fresh popcorn with Parmesan appetizer. Delicious!! The cup of spicy, meaty chili was outstanding and filling. Recommended! Friendly, reasonably priced and great for groups. An enjoyable gathering spot it is!

    Whichcraft Taproom is a great dining option in Midland, Michigan! They have outdoor and indoor options. I love that they promote 'Michigan Made' products! There is 3 hour free parking on the street. My mother & I stopped in for lunch just as they were opening! Jesse was a delightful server and sold me on trying the Grilled Peanut Butter & Jelly handheld. I was skeptical, however, because I love PB&J I stepped out of my comfort zone to try it! Jesse was so right! It was gooey greatness! This makes me rethink how I prepare my PB&Js at home! My mother had the Adobo Chicken Panini. She gave them a thumbs up too! Calling all gamers! They have a variety of games for usage at your table. The seating options are high top, benches, bar and regular table and chairs plus outdoor seating.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Fantastic food, drinks, and service…read more - - - - - - - - August, 2026 Visit We went on a road trip, from Missouri to Michigan, for a family event, and on Friday night we joined countless others in attending the outdoors concert in downtown Midland, MI. We set up our chairs on the street next to Molasses, near the stage. And... we became hungry and benefitted from Molasses. We were able to order and enjoy the wonderfully tasty burnt ends before they were sold out; we also enjoyed some tasty street corn and some adult and non-alcoholic beverages. The staff is fantastically helpful and friendly. We look to return on our next visit. Thanks, Molasses!

    Overall not bad, although I've certainly had better in other places…read more The decor is right on point with what you would expect in a barbecue joint. They all seem to have the country Honky Tonk bar appearance, and I suppose that's what people expect. The staff was reasonably attentive, although they weren't terribly busy the night I've visited so I suppose they didn't have a lot to do, lol. I ordered the ribs with a side of coleslaw. Overall the ribs were fine, but they weren't quite as tender as I'm used to. As I recall the coleslaw was adequate but nothing special. Pricing was a little on the high side, but I get it that it cost money to run a place like this. Overall I don't think I would be inclined to come back.

    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.

    The food is great, but unfortunately, the service and the way we were treated left a really bad…read moreimpression. I live in Midland and brought friends visiting from Kentucky, along with our kids (ages 6-9), specifically to Brinstar so the kids could enjoy the games. We were having a great time until, completely out of the blue, the owner approached us and told us that if the kids broke any of the games, we would be responsible for paying for them because they are 30 years old. I completely understand wanting to protect valuable, vintage equipment. That is reasonable. What was not reasonable was the way it was communicated. There is a right way and a wrong way to address customers, especially families who are there spending money and trying to enjoy themselves. I was so uncomfortable with the interaction that I went to our server, who was incredibly kind and sweet, and told her we were going to leave and simply pay for our drinks. She even offered to have the drinks put into to-go cups. At that point, the other female owner, who was sitting at the bar, commented that the games were 30 years old and that we should "parent our kids." Excuse me? We absolutely understand the responsibility of supervising our children. What we did not expect was to be spoken to in that manner by the owners of an establishment we were patronizing. As someone who was also raised in the hospitality industry, I understand that protecting your business and your property is important. But hospitality is also about how you communicate with your customers. A simple, friendly, "Hey guys, just a heads up--these games are vintage and we ask that the kids please be careful with them" would have accomplished the exact same thing without making your customers feel unwelcome or insulted. We came in excited to introduce our out-of-town friends and their kids to your establishment. Instead, we left embarrassed and disappointed. The food may be great, but unfortunately, great food doesn't make up for making your customers feel unwelcome. I sincerely hope this is something the owners take to heart, because there was a much better way to handle this situation.
