Atmosphere is awesome, workers are nice too, and food and drinks are great. Great place to hang at too.

Went to Odd Sides for a cocktail on Saturday, 11/30 around 10:00pm. I really like that they have expanded their offerings from just beer. Don't worry - they still have lots of beer, we just decided on cocktails. We sat the bar, we really like their bar. It's huge and has lots of barstools. I had Captain Sparvelous' Lonkero, I loved it! He had a Maple Rye Chaider and really enjoyed it. This was not our first time, nor will it be our last. Great spot to try in Grand Haven. read more

Good place to sit and hang out if you are ONLY looking for drinks. Can accommodate big groups. Nice atmosphere. Iced coffee pretty good.

We stopped by after checking out the frozen Lake. We sat on the long side of the horseshoe bar around 11:40. Waited for a while and never saw an employee. My boyfriend went to the bathroom, on his way back he saw 2 employees talking to cutomers that had drinks. He tried to get their attention, but couldn't. Then 2 other girl employees at the other end of the bar never scanned to see us steating at the bar.One of them walked behind us, the other started talking to some gentleman seated at the bar. At this time we were angry and left. The Kriby House gave us great service and the food was excellent. As a former bartender/service you must always scan and make sure everyone gets greeted upon entry. There was so many beers we wanted to enjoy, so I ended up settling for a domestic beer with great service. read more

Stopped into the SideBar (coffee shop inside the brewery) for some morning juice. Decent nitro coffee & lemon poppy seed muffin. Paid under $15 with tip for 2 nitros & 1 lemon poppyseed muffin. Nitro left no bitter aftertaste, slightly acidic, and no excessive amount of foam... which has been a common issue elsewhere lately. A good stop for a pick me up, especially if you need some caffeine between the OTHER brews. The serves seemed happy and were chatty with each other. We did stroll up on a conversation about a customer that comes it regularly & doesn't tip. Probably not a good front of the house conversation, yet maybe people need to hear it, eh. (This stop will not count in our Hundreds of Hops tour, as we didn't hit up the brewery- maybe we'll make it back before we leave town tho. read more

I hadn't been to Odd Side Ales in years, so Nate and I stopped in and had a drink while visiting the area recently. The space is large and great for groups, with plenty of communal seating and a huge bar. They have some games available an we saw people playing cards. They have 50+ taps with all types of beer. They also serve hard slushees, wine, cider, and seltzers. We sat at the bar and had great service. Nate got a flight and I got a mimosa beer that was refreshing and delicious. The flight is always our go-to when visiting a new brewery or one we haven't been to in awhile. Nate liked all the tastes he got and I really enjoyed some of the darker specialty stouts. They don't serve food at Odd Side Ales, but you're welcome to bring food in or you can order directly from several of their local restaurant partners nearby, then they'll deliver right to your table. Odd Side Ales also houses the Side Bar coffee counter that serves lattes, hot chocolate, coffee, and smoothies and shakes. This is a family-friendly spot that seems to have something for everyone! I look forward to visiting whenever I'm in the area. read more

Went for coffee. This place has a great atmosphere for coffee and for craft beer. My latte was made very well. I requested half/half and it was made perfectly. However, the iced americano was a disappointment mainly for the fact that it was small, and completely full of ice. And for the price of $4.50, it's not worth it. I hope they redesign this drink. All in all, it was a good experience, we'll return. read more

Food delivery was fast and many options. The variety of beers and mixed drinks was a wide range and it was very good. The service was friendly and fast. It was comfortable and many different people there. Families to singles. Lots of room for groups. read more

Came across this place on my little day trip to Grand Haven. Was here in the early afternoon for a coffee but ended up getting a matcha latte instead. The matcha was really good. My sister got a smoothie which was sort of watery tasting, but not that bad. The service was good and the overall ambiance of the place is nice! Very spacious, I can see it being a hot spot at night. Also a good spot to study or use your laptop while enjoying your drink. Overall, really good and I hope to come back again another day :) read more

Odd Side Ales - The sign - Pubs Near Me - Grand Haven, Michigan

Still my favorite brewpub in Grand Haven. I just keep finding new things to love. This time it was Odd Side's take on the White Russian cocktail. It's all the goodness any self-respecting Dude would expect, but Odd Side cranks to eleven by adding root beer. Bring a friend because you'll be chain drinking these things before you even decide whether chain drinking is even a thing. Have food delivered from one of GH's nearby eateries and you've got yourself a a full on free for all. Odd Side has so many staple and seasonal brews. Staff are friendly and let you try it before you buy it. Great atmosphere. Visit often! read more

You have to order food in from qr code . Very frustrating and wait staff not helpful. Never again.

Came here on a bachelor party trip to try some beers and play darts. Great atmosphere with a good downtown to walk around too. The beer selection is good and diverse I got a shandy a buddy got the crusher both were good and others got stouts and ambers that were tasty too. All the beers were top notch. I tried a sour too and it was pretty sour but if you like sours you'd probably like it. read more

Really cool space, good Italian pilsner, flavorless lattes... my ube one just tasted like milk... which is not good because I HATE milk :( ... I know bizarre thing to be so passionate about. Call it childhood daily farm trauma I didn't have anything to eat here so this is purely a rating of the beer and Ube latte. Overall the beer was... meh... and the latte I already commented on. Also, the cafe side of house staff were having a bad day or something. They ignored my friend and I at first and then, after we ordered and moved aside (for no one! There was no one else in the cafe!), the one barrista rather rudely told us to take a seat. That interaction was just kind of weird. The folks tapping the beer though were great! read more

Not one to usually get a flight but this bucket list brewery...I couldn't pick just one. Great beer in a cool building that lives up to the hype. Can't wait to come back read more

We stopped by Odd Side Ales on the way to the Musical Fountain while in Grand Haven. There is an awesome outside sitting area to enjoy your brews and ciders. The city ordinance does shut the outside area down at 10pm, which is a bummer- it's so nice to be able to be outside to enjoy the ambiance of the downtown area. My favorite was the cinnamon apple cider- it is SO good, I wish I would've gotten a growler to go! read more

Stopped by Odd Side Ale's Coffee Bar, 'Side Bar' with my Husband on my birthday. I wish we had a place like this in Grand Rapids! I love their open space, lighting, and ambience. It gives off such a chill vibe, and I like that they have hangar doors so that you can sit inside, but still feel the breeze. I got the Nitro Cold Brew and my husband got the Cafe Glace. I drink my coffee black, so I didn't add any cream or sugar in my drink. My cold brew wasn't bitter by any means, and I like that they got it right from their brew tap. My husband's Cafe Glace came with Chocolate and Caramel syrup. I think his ice cubes were made out of coffee and may have been coated in cocoa powder; can someone confirm? Because if I saw that right, then it's such a innovative idea! You can keep your drink cold, and it won't water down since the ice is made out of coffee. I'll have to start trying that at home. I can confirm confirm that the Nitro Cold Brew was effective, because we walked to the Pier, and I got the Coffee Shakes on the walk back. If you're out in Grand Haven and need something to wake you up, I highly recommend the Cold Brew! read more

A very cool space. It is a brewery, but also restaurant. We grabbed a few seats at the bar and the two bartenders were so attentive and nice. My husband had a flight.The Peach Smash , We Be Jammin, Strawberry Peach Smoothie and the Midwest IPA. He liked the Strawberry Peach Smoothie the best. I had a seltzer. It was the Lemon Elderflower and I did not enjoy it. It was not as fruity as I would have liked. Overall, lots of great selections ! read more

Had a better experience this year. Beers were fantastic and going earlier in the day when a bit less busy created a far better experience. Crusher - good, super drinkable Krumpusbock - solid Odd Fashioned - incredible. Holy shit was it like drinking bourbon whiskey. Not barrel-aged flavor, just straight whiskey flavor. No clue how they did that but wow. Bought a bottle to take home. Blackbeard's Bliss- also quite good, but have had some better rum barrel beer of late. Culminating Mass - super wheated barrely. Also very good read more

I like Odd Side beers. When I saw that they had a shop downtown, we stopped for a pint and looking for a snack. They don't serve food, but you can have food ordered out and delivered to your table, or bring your own. It was a large place. This was the first place that we visited in town that actually reminded us it was a college town. A lot of students on laptops dotted around the dining and coffee area. Headphones on and keeping to themselves. The selections is extensive - I did a flight of interesting brews that all turned out very palatable. I do favor their sours and gose. The service was expedient and happy to help with questions. This establishment also has a full service coffee bar with a very small selection of bakery items in a case. Best of both worlds for sure. read more

One of my fave breweries has a coffee bar?? Who knew? The Side Bar at Oddside serves up a pretty great iced coffee on a hot day in Grand Haven. I was sold when the ice cubes she put in my Coffee were cubes of cold brew!! No watered down iced coffee! read more

I didn't realize we were in an social district. I wish the bartender had explained this more clearly. He just kind of explained things like I should know. His demeanor was okay but stand off ish. Smile more, It doesn't hurt read more

An afternoon jaunt in GH. A mocha with almond milk and a turmeric and ginger tea. The turmeric and ginger is well filled in the bag, ready for sips, smells refreshingly good. It's overwhelming taste of turmeric, even over powers the ginger and that's a intensely strong flavor already. Tumeric is best in small doses. Not my favorite, should have gone with the chamomile. They were nice and let me replace the turmeric and ginger with the chamomile blossom instead. My husband enjoyed his mocha. read more

Odd Side also operates a "side" business in the mornings called Side Bar Artisan Coffee! It is fantastic! The atmosphere is very calming and relaxing- plus they play great music. It's the perfect place to work on your laptop for a few hours in the morning with some yummy coffee, study for school or event meet up with friends! The staff is super friendly and let you hang out as long as you want! You order your coffee up at the Side Bar counter and can take it anywhere in the building. There are plenty of room at the bar and in the booths at this time of day. They also offer a variety of muffins and donuts to choose from as well as other bottled beverages. Great place! read more

We stopped in on a February Saturday during the limited dining restrictions - there was a little wait but not crazy. Everything is covid friendly and we felt comfortable dining in. Service was good and we never went without a drink! They also brought a fresh refill for a full beer that got knocked over by a rouge child, no charge. Love Odd Side's Beer - Maya Mocha being my absolute favorite beer! They have a lot of fund things on draft - something for everyone. The one downside, especially for those with little kids, is the lack of food. Yes, you can order from neighboring restaurants and they will delivery.. but it's not the same or as quick as ordering a snack from an in house menu. Especially during the cold months, by the time food gets delivered it is almost cold. Large venue with lots of potential seating - once they are able to! Outdoor seating options, too! Highly recommend for the beer enthusiast! read more

Our group of 6 visited Odd Side Ales last weekend. We found a cozy high top by the window and enjoyed a variety of flights, drafts and coffees drinks. Service was quick and friendly. It was the perfect setting for a cold Saturday afternoon. We ordered sandwiches from Toasted Pickle across the street and brought them in to enjoy with our beverages. We'll definitely be back, possibly on a Sunday when they have live music. read more

Fabulous brewery. Lots of options including several tasty barrel aged beers which are my favorite. The seating was largely communal, but there are some decently sized booths and a long bar to sit at. They don't serve food, but a local restaurant will deliver to your table. Decently priced Would recommend and will go again. read more

Odd Side is an awesome place to visit with friends and family. The spot is fun and inviting and just so gorgeous. I have been going to Odd Side for 6 years (one year of being a DD, since I was 21) and their growth has been incredible and well deserved. My fiancé and I always make a special trip since we live three hours away. We love it here! read more

Really cute spot. Its both a cafe and brewery. Came here for coffee almost everyday I was in Grand Haven. Big indoor and outdoor area, fun ambience and decor. 3 stars for great looking restaurant, awesome hard seltzers and decent coffee. I was however pretty disappointed with the beer. I tried a few Beers and IMO they all tasted a little flat to me. read more

Check! Out! This! Brewery! NOW! Whether you want the hoppiest flight or the sweetest pint, Odd Side Ales has you covered. Shout out to the staff for letting me mix up a six-pack so I could bring two kinds of beer back home to Indianapolis. It was MUCH appreciated. read more

Fun place to spend some time. It's located in the same building as Portobello, where we went for dinner on Friday night, so we decided to check it out. They do have flights but not after 7pm on the day we went, apparently, but you're able to "try before you buy," so I tried a few beers and a cider. I ultimately ended up getting a 16 oz glass of the cowboy cider (with cinnamon), which was delicious and not an unreasonable price either, at $5. Atmosphere is fun too, and I believe they also have outdoor seating. You have to order at the bar, then you can grab a table, too. read more

Odd Side Ales offers a variety of drinks whether it be beer, cider, a cocktail or a coffee. It is a very large space and there are plenty of tables to choose from. There are high top tables, regular tables with benches, and booths so you can pick where you feel most comfortable. I love all the seating options. The bathrooms are a little bit of a walk down a hall and to the right, so be prepared they aren't immediately right there. It is not a far walk at all, but they are bathrooms that are shared in the strip mall. I loved the drink I got, and I am a picky eater/drinker. The cherry styles, what a clever name and a great drink! They do not serve food but you can order delivery from area restaurants or bring in your own snacks. I love the atmosphere and the vibe from this place. During the warmer months there is outdoor seating which is just perfect for a Michigan summer. The ciders are awesome as well as the staff. The line can sometimes get long to order if it's busy, but it goes pretty fast. Overall we love visiting Odd Side once in a while and wish them continued success! read more
