The burger was pretty good, especially the bacon jam and Gouda. The lobster bisque was a bit heavy for me.

The Mayan Mocha Stout was a standout&mdash;rich coffee and chocolate notes without being too sweet. Their CPA was crisp and clean. Really appreciate the thought that goes into their craft list.

Been coming here for years. I always grab a seat by the water, order a beer, and just watch the boats go by. It&#39;s my go-to spot to unwind after a long week. That view never gets old.

Decent spot with some good vegan and gluten-free choices. I had the vegan chili mac, it was pretty good. The grilled cheese for my friend was fine too. A bit on the pricier side, but nice to have options.

The hot meatloaf sandwich here is no joke&mdash;it&#39;s massive! The gravy was rich and the bread held up perfectly. Exactly the kind of hearty, satisfying bar food I was hoping for.

The French chicken at brunch was so good, my friend and I couldn&#39;t stop talking about it. Perfect for a chill catch-up.

Fun Irish spot with live music. The hostess was super nice about a reservation mix-up and even gave us a round on the house.

Rayne was a solid server. Knew the menu, kept our drinks filled without hovering. Food came out hot and tasted good. Just a straightforward, reliable dinner.

The garage theme is fun, but it gets pretty loud in there. I stopped by for a drink and the energy was high. Not the spot if you&#39;re looking for a quiet chat.

The bartender really knew their stuff about the barrel-aged beers. A nice spot for something strong.

Been coming here for years, and the drinks are always spot on. That smoked old fashioned? Never disappoints. The rye and ginger is my other go-to. They just get the balance right every single time.

Been coming here for years. Paul&#39;s service is always spot on&mdash;attentive but never hovering. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back. The ribeye special last month was solid, too. Just a reliable spot.

This place has such a fun, quirky vibe. The taxidermy everywhere and that huge back bar really give it character. I tried the Wally burger and it was massive, totally hit the spot. 🍔

Decent spot. The pork ribs were a solid, hearty portion. We shared the homemade chips with the Thai corn dip to start &ndash; that was pretty good. A fine meal overall.

Loved their Peanut and Crackerjack porter! The beer flight was served in this cute Michigan-shaped holder, which made sharing with my friends so much fun. We were all trying different ones and passing them around the table. The porter was definitely the standout for me.

Love the vintage decor here, feels like hanging out at a friend&#39;s place. Perfect for catching a game with the crew. 🍻 The vibe is super chill, just what you want for a low-key night.

Solid spot downtown. Their craft beer selection is really good, had a great IPA. The burger was juicy and cooked just right. Ended up staying way longer than planned, the whole place just has that kind of relaxed, easygoing vibe.
