Odd Side Ales - Grand Haven, Michigan

T

Nice location, easy parking lot, darts.
The bathroom was small, not the best service.
A lot of tables and booths to sit.
Homemade alcoholic beverages.
I probably won’t be back, the bartender wasn’t knowledgeable enough, they didn’t pour a good drink.

This is a great place with a really good ambiance. You walk in and immediately smell coffee, which makes you feel warm. They have a large beer selection, and some of the best sour beer we've ever tasted! They share bathrooms with their shopping complex and the women's restroom was out of order, so you had to walk to the second floor restroom.

OMG! I wish I had a smartphone back when (everyone else did…..don’t laugh), but fast forward to now. I have been here a few times over the years. Right now, I have been reminiscing (although it’s May 31, 2023) about my trip in August 2015, when the brewery had not yet acquired every other store in existence to expand to the street. Not that I don’t like and appreciate what they have done, but you know what it’s like to take a trip down memory lane and miss how simple things were. And maybe how cool it was to order off of a chalkboard. Again, I love what they have done. I love the garage doors and dig the framed TVs. The beer is fantastic as usual. The addition (and/or change) of some pretty cool 😎 staff along the way helps to add to the ambiance as well. With the addition of spirits…..I tried the Cilantro Vodka (and I am not a huge vodka fan, but…) and very much to my surprise was…well…CILANTRO!!! I absolutely love that herb. I know not everyone does, but that’s because they don’t know what they are missing. Needless to say I bought a bottle. This with the compliment of Detroit City Distillery’s Horseradish Vodka will make one hell of a Bloody Mary!

Thank you to Ethan who was awesome and attentive, to Ixy for also being amazing and sporting a very cool Steamboat Willie tattoo (without the wheel Lol). Also, to Nick, my fellow Mexican food loving friend…..thank you (thank you ALL) for all the hospitality. See you next time. Cheers! 🍻

P.S. this is by far the longest review I have written to date.

Really enjoy visiting Odd Side and am always impressed with their craft creativity. Some of my absolute favorites come from here.

The space is warm and inviting, and service is friendly.

Only wish they'd consider opening a kitchen. If they're this good with beer, think what they might do with food.

There on a Sunday night enjoying a Christmas visit with my best friend. Website said open til 10, door said they are open til 10. But was told at 8:45 when I went up to the bar to order another drink they were done serving. Was going to order another drink for my friend and I and also fill a growler for a Christmas gift. They definitely lost out on a lot of money because the bar still had 20-30 people in it when they shut down.

This place has one of the best ambiences for a brewery. Their menu is extravagant in that they have so many choices of beers. The flavors are really strong so you have to be commited to the flavor to enjoy the beers. This is not a brewery where the bartenders interact and chit chat with you, but they are friendly and attentive.

One of the best breweries in Michigan! Huge variety of beers and not many I’ve tried that I don’t like. The bar is enormous with lots of seating for parties of all sizes and super chill. There’s a coffee bar in the front too. They don’t serve food, but you can order in or bring in your own (highly recommend Electric Hero Sandwich Shop next door!). A flight of 5 tasters costs $15 and pints range from $4-6. The staff is friendly and upbeat. Family friendly. They have dart boards and board games. Great atmosphere.
