The closest brewery to the GSL. Pretty interiors, fun art of the Michigan musicians. They offer free bumper pool and shuffle board as well as board games at your table, just ask. Large variety of food. The fish dinner is one of my faves. I like it with the Caesar salad and a sweet potato. Outdoor seating is available. Of course there's a full bar but only their homemade brew.
