TLDR: This is exactly what you’d expect out of a pub atmosphere with pretty great craft beers on tap. I liked and will most likely returnWe didn’t eat here but the beer was good! We had “The Wife is Calling”, “Straight CA$H, Homey” and “Raisin Hell”- all really good beers on tap! Met some fun people, and spent a couple hours hanging out. The atmosphere is what you’d expect from a bar/pub and the staff is friendly. The bathrooms were clean and comfortable and so was the overall size of the place, as well as the bar stools.Parking: Free street parking- we walked from our hotel

Grew up in this city and I know these little places you don't hear much about, can have some rather good tasting food. Mean Jean chicken was beyond tasty! Living in Grand Rapids now I like to go around and review places. All around good atmosphere as well. I can't forget the lamp from one of my favorite movies ?

Not super impressed. It was okay. Wanted to order to pickup but no one would answer the phone so had to use doordash store front. Mac n cheese bites were not very good I think they may be made with kraft not fresh or real Mac n cheese. The sandwhich I got was really good though! It was the chicken parm sandwich. Also, I paid to upgrade the side from chips to fries (the only option for fries they had online) and they weren't the waffle fries which was dissapointing because it was the whole reason I wanted to try this place was for the waffle fries. 3/5 could be better but wasn't bad either

The atmosphere at Bravehearts Pub is very nice. It is well decorated and feels cozy. There is a bar to sit at or tables and chairs to dine at. There are dart boards in the back. There is also a small nice outdoor seating area.The service here leaves much to be desired. It isn't horrible. It isn't great.The food is pretty on par with Pub food. Exactly what you would expect at a Pub. Definitely worth a visit if that is what you are craving.The drinks here are also very good. Lot's of nice specialty beers if that is your thing. The drinks can get very very expensive though.

I used to love this establishment, but I am now on round two of having to walk out after a 15 minute wait with no service. I'm really bummed because they have really good food, but if you can't even get a hello or a water after 15 minutes, it's not worth the wait.

Bravehearts Pub in Alma stands as a shining beacon of small-town hospitality and charm. It's a local favorite for several good reasons, and my experience there firmly places it on my list of must-visit pubs.The moment you step into Bravehearts, you're enveloped in the classic ambiance of a small-town pub. It's a place that feels instantly familiar and welcoming, a quality that's becoming increasingly rare. The pub offers a cozy retreat with its friendly atmosphere, making it the perfect spot for both regulars and newcomers.Service at Bravehearts is exceptional. The staff go above and beyond to ensure that every visit is memorable. Their attentiveness and warmth contribute greatly to the overall experience, making you feel more like a guest at a friend's place rather than a customer at a pub.When it comes to pub food, Bravehearts truly excels. They offer a great selection of classic pub fare, each dish prepared to perfection. The food is hearty, satisfying, and exactly what you crave when you think of a great pub meal. Whether you're there for a full meal or just some snacks with your drinks, the quality and taste are consistently impressive.A standout feature of Bravehearts is the owner, Charles. His unique blend of fun and humor adds a personal touch to the pub. Charles's presence often feels like the heart of Bravehearts, bringing a sense of community and cheerfulness that enhances the overall atmosphere. His personality and approach to hospitality are a big part of what makes Bravehearts more than just a pub; it's a community gathering spot.In summary, Bravehearts Pub in Alma is a true gem. With its amazing service, classic small-town pub feel, great food, and the unique charm added by the owner Charles, it's a place that embodies the best of local pub culture. For anyone in Alma looking for a place with great food, drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere, Bravehearts is highly recommended.
Drinks were ok, nothing fancy. However the food was like a college roommate made it... It felt "assembled", like the ingredients were there, but execution was lacking. The turkey club was like a club you bought from Meijer.. and a bit overpriced for what you got.Vegetarian options: They had a veggie burger, but they don't make it themselves.. no other veggie options

Great spot my husband and I found after the Jingle Bell run. Food was great and service was even better. I had the build your own starters - the dipping sauce for the cheese curds was sweet & and unexpected. I loved it!We both loved the festive decorations also!

Purchased a combo to go. Was very disappointed. It wasn't hot. The portions were small. I will not be ordering food from there again.
