    a glass of beer
    Matt H.

    This is a pretty new place in the heart of downtown, where I had high hopes for a brew pub....but...it was an average Friday evening with maybe half the tables and seats at the bar taken, and you simply could not hear yourself think, let alone speak to someone at your own table, due to the noise! The bartenders were very busy...on their phones...and not really paying attention to people at the bar, which is where I usually sit to get great service and expertise on what's on tap. The beer...it was just average or ok, nothing special, despite the large selection on tap. The atmosphere really turned us off, and it's unlikely we would come back unless we were with a group of people and didn't really care about the quality of the product. Overall, 3 stars is probably giving them the benefit because I'd personally give it 2 stars if it wasn't a nice-looking place!

    Ambience - 4/5 Service - 3/5 (waitstaff was friendly but you have to go up to the counter to order food) Food and drink - 2/5 Value - 3/5 If there wasn't outdoor seating and friendly service, I'm not sure it would be worth coming back. We tried their new food menu with their restaurant and it was quite the disappointment. The flatbread was more like a giant cracker with a light smear of sauce and sprinkled veggies. It lacked flavor and left us hungry. We got a flight of different beers, half were good, the other half were okay. I ordered one of their IPAs in a pint and it tasted like a lager, I couldn't finish it. Hopefully as the kitchen gets used to the menu, things will improve.

    Stopped by after dinner for a beer since we haven't been here for a while. Kenya was our server and she was awesome!

    Kenya was great beer was fantastic try the pad tai it's incredible. Parking is ample and seats are cozy

    Nice new addition to Mishawaka. For starters, their inside space is large enough to accommodate groups who will visit in the winter months. But during good weather, spring through fall in northern Indiana, people can also enjoy their outdoor Biergarten. Great beer choices, the orange cream ale was delicious, and friendly service. Smash & Trash is their food vendor who serves smash burgers and tacos was pretty good too.

    Mishawaka is my childhood home and my parents still live there... Trust me, I don't know why ... I joke, I joke... It was nice to hear there is an establishment such as this that would put there faith in Mishawaka, and I'm so glad to see the whole River Walk area being developed so well. (I remember being in that spot as a young boy watching the Uniroyal building be imploded by tons of boom-booms.) Okay, on to the beer and environment. It's a pretty cool place with a nice outdoor space. Most of the employees are friendly. I only tried a couple of the beers, Sun King has a couple I can get down with. That's good. It's nice to know they just opened one in Sarasota, FL - which isn't far from me. Make plans to check out Sun King Mishawaka!

    At first I was a little intimidated by the atmosphere but once I settled into my seat I had a blast! They have free samples so you can try whatever you want before ordering. Fun beer and a fun time when stopping by the river walk

    Great open setting with large windows and lots of light for a lively atmosphere. Some TV's showing sports but not to many, and a lot of staff always following up on you. You order your food via walk up and then they text you when it's ready. Food is basic burgers and bar food but done well, but the main attraction is the beer. A good mix of a dozen or so beers on tap in the main building with a handful in the Biergarten across the way where you can also order from the same food place and enjoy the park setting it the main location is too busy. Orange Vanilla Sunlight and Strawberry Roundup are good summer choices.

    Take home Can for a 32oz.

I always recognize his glasses. He's great. Bartenders are always spot-on. Besides that--I hardly have much of a demand, I just want to know if my burger comes with a patty or is just brisket, as it wasn't very clearly indicated in the "burger box" Super disappointing at such a price point/location. I expect more than being visited twice in nearly 30 minutes and only getting the response of "I don't know" and "I'm not sure" I left after taking two sips of my beer, and was chased out by some manager who FINALLY acknowledged us, only trying to get paid for the single ounce of beer that I consumed, as well as two sips of (warm)unsweetened tea that my grandmother had. It's not often I leave without paying, but if you're not going to acknowledge me and cant be at least a decent host, I'll just be on my way before i get too far in. When you charge $20 for a burger, I would think the service is matching that level of quality. Yes I would like a follow up, too. Because if you got my grandma following me in agreement, there's an issue. Really disappointing, probably won't make the stops like I used to. Place appears to need some quality help.

And with all of these places to sit, on a lovely Friday night- this place was poppin'! So we'd likely recommend a reservation if you think of it, but I'm certain the wonderful staff would be able to fit you in as they can! We waited a moment for our food, but with our large group, we were happy to do so as the food was worth the wait! Many of our group got OG Burgers while others opted for chicken wings and brisket sandwiches, or even tacos! They really had it all! The food had a bit of a kick with the spice, but as someone with not a high spice tolerance, it was not too much at all! I didn't get a chance to snap a pic of our dishes because we just scarfed them down- Ha! The service was attentive, but also really independent and relaxed! Cared for, but not micromanaged in the slightest! Free to laugh loud and make memories with no rush out! Worth the stop if you can make it! What a joy!!

Our group started with the pierogi appetizer, and it was definitely the highlight of the meal. They were perfectly fried with a crispy exterior and topped with sour cream, bacon, and onions. Super flavorful and hit the spot! For dinner, I ordered the Chicken & Bacon Jam Sandwich with sweet potato fries. While the chicken itself was tender, the bacon jam was much sweeter than I expected and ended up overpowering the sandwich. I was hoping for more of a savory flavor. The bottom bun also soaked up quite a bit of oil, making it pretty soggy and messy to eat. The sweet potato fries weren't quite my style either because they were heavily coated in sugar and tasted more sweet than savory. Unfortunately, neither is something I'd order again, even though both sounded great on the menu. We visited during a busy Saturday dinner rush, so our food took a while to arrive, but our server was friendly, attentive, and acknowledged the delay, which I always appreciate and understand! We sat outside on the patio, which was a fun place to spend the evening. The only thing I noticed was that there wasn't any music playing outdoors like there was inside, and I think that would have added a little more energy to the space. Overall, I don't want to knock this place too much because I genuinely think it's a great spot for Michigan City. Between the local beer selection, large menu, welcoming atmosphere, and outdoor seating, it's definitely worth a visit! I'd happily come back and try some different menu items next time!
