Ironbark Brewing Company - Jackson, Michigan

We were very impressed! The soup and sandwich is such a great deal. We had the cabbage and sausage soup. It was so tasty. There are many different sandwiches to choose from. They also do beer flights. Great industrial style on the inside. The staff were very nice checked on us often, we had a great time

Service was friendly and attentive, no complaints there. Unfortunately, the Reuben was a big letdown. Barely any meat, the cheese tasted like Kraft singles, and the bread was cheap and soggy. Definitely not worth the price. Disappointing given how good everything else seemed.

Food is great.
Beer is what it is.
Service is absolutely terrible.
Most recent experience - brought my in-laws in for trivia night. We ordered beers and food (3 pizzas). Never received the third pizza and when the server realized that he switched tables with another server to avoid us. All he had to do was apologize. You think that would be the worst of it, but for the 2.5 hours we were there for trivia we were not asked once if we wanted a refill. We had to go up to the bar where the staff were “chilling” with their friends to ask for a refill. They then acted annoyed. After that, they never came back to our table and we had to seek them out for our bills. We weren’t being needy. Just wanting the basic service that comes with going out to eat.
We used to come in a couple times a month, but it’ll be a while before we take our chances again.

GREAT FOOD HORRIBLE SERVICE. I really do not like leaving bad reviews for places especially when the food and drinks were really good. Our service on the other hand was the absolute worst service I have ever received in any restaurant I have ever ate at. Our server was Maria. She took our order and never came back till the food was ready to be served after she brought us our food she never returned to our table to check on us or ask if we liked the food or needed another drink. My glass sat empty for 20-25 minutes before a young man behind the bar came out and asked if we needed anything else sadly by that time our meal was done and we were ready to head out so we just got the bill and paid. Maria ruined the night out for us with the horrible service.

I’m sorry, but not sorry at the same time. As much as I HATE writing negative reviews (and I write very few) since that’s what everyone else does most of the time, but I must join in this time around. I visited here last summer (2022) on a little self brew tour of Jackson and I have to say that although there are a few breweries I will be coming back to, this unfortunately is not one of them.

I sat at the bar. There was only one other person there, another followed close to my departure. There was a fly buzzing around, but it was summer and the door was open, so there’s that. However, as I was trying the flight I ordered, I couldn’t help but notice this rather unpleasant smell. It was like that of urine in a public bathroom that had not been attended to in who knows how long. I also noticed that as my eyes wandered around the room , there were in fact flies (plural).

I did not complain. I was friendly to the staff, and they were friendly to me as well. I paid for my flight and tipped rather well since A) I am not a rude person by nature, and B) I don’t know the source of the problem, then went on my way. It’s unfortunate because they have an area setup for bands which would provide for a cool atmosphere when you are in the mood to go out and catch some live music, but I just couldn’t get past this major turnoff.

Fortunately for me this the first stop on my journey and not my last.

Great beers and tasty food from the market next-door. They do live music on specific days. Always a vast selection of beers on tap. The brewers do an incredible job creating several varieties of different styles of beer. I love to see how much this business has grown for the better.

Staff was very nice. Environment was clean. I had a ginger sizzle loved it. It was very refreshing and different. I also had a pizza with salmon dip and bagel chips. All very good. Nice portion size. I will return for more. I give them 5 stars.

Sorry this place was a total miss for us. As soon as we entered it smelled like spic and span or something. Bar staff was polite enough and offered a samples. We ordered two different beers, my wife got the cosmic IPA or something and I got the Kolsch. Both beers tasted really off, I mean funky. Neither one of us finished them. The whole vibe of the place was funky too. From reading reviews and the location I thought it could been a cool place. Unfortunately we will not return.
