Presidential Brewing Company

Very friendly and attentive staff, fiancé said the burger was delicious and he enjoyed his beer. Interior is very casual and only has about 10 bar stools and all tables are hard wood picnic tables. The beer garden was decent, however the mini golf course *seriously* needs quite a bit of TLC, if not a full blown overhaul as the felt/turf is in total disarray and some of the weeds in the middle were taller than 3 feet. And we both agreed that if you have an open tab or paid for one (ours was $30+ for plain tater tots, 1 beer, & 1 burger, I don't drink & have many food allergies), the golf should be included (especially since it's obvious that very little to no money goes into the putt putt course) but its $5 per person for unlimited rounds of the 9 holes. However, if they do get around to fixing up the putt putt, then yes $5 is very fair but not for the state it's in right now.

This was a terrible experience. Came here on a Tuesday night as a family of 4 after our oldest had kindergarten orientation. We thought it would be fun to grab dinner and then play mini golf to keep her excited about going to school. Big mistake.

We sat down around 6:50 and ordered within 5 minutes. A plain cheese pizza, a burger and a chicken sandwich. Simple. I even noticed we ordered right after the family next to us and before a big table of 6-8 people and two other families. I even said to myself, glad we put our order in before all those tables.

30 minutes go by. Nothing so I went up to the waitress and said hey if our kids pizza is ready bring it out because they were getting restless. Thinking maybe the pizza was almost done. She said no problem. Another 15 passes and I watch every other table around us get their food. Every single one of them. Except us.

Finally after waiting 45 plus minutes the waitress comes over and says something went wrong with your cheese pizza do you want to order something else. Are you kidding me. The simplest item on the menu and it took almost an hour to tell us there was a problem.

We got up and left. The disappointment of this place is worse than going to McDonald’s and finding out their ice cream machine is down. Filter the reviews low to high and you’ll find similar experiences, we’re not the first and won’t be the last. A response from the owner for drinks and an appetizer won’t bring us back.

Awesome collection of craft beers!
What is also awesome is that they have killer food as well!

We were there for the 5th annual Beardserkers facial hair competition hosted by the KZoo Whisker Crew, benefitting the First Day Shoe Fund, and even though it was really hot, they have a great outdoor space, everyone stayed cool, and had so much fun raising money for a charity!

I wish I would have gotten a picture of my Nashville hot sammich and tots before they were devoured. So good! 🤌🏼

The food was great but with the exception of a couple HOA Karens, there weren't any presidents here.

My first visit for live music on the patio. I had a wonderful time, the food and drink is great, and the service is the best! Looking forward to attending again soon!

Not the biggest fan. If you want to sit outside in the evening there’s a $5 cover. Pretty much self serve. Order up at the bar.

If you want an actual table to sit you need to be a “VIP”. Otherwise there is bench seating available.

Food was alright. Drink was good.

Not the most welcoming staff. I would assume it could be a hit or a miss. I would imagine some people like the set up while others won’t.

Fun atmosphere and while really busy the service was great
Really enjoyed our night and will be back

Great beer.

Good food good beer. Just wish there was an outside server.

Wonderful beer, food, and service. One of our favorite spots in town!

Good food and great beer! The atmosphere is unmatched. If you like supporting nice local businesses, this is the spot. 🍻

My first time there was on July 4th, we had 4 people in our party, the putt putt was ok, but the music they had was really loud where you couldn't even hear the person next to you, there wasnt many people outside so there was no reason why the music had to be that loud, It gave me a headache so we left. I don't think we will be back

Good food and beer. Server was nice. Putt putt was fun to do while having a beer.

Terrible! Asked the server if it was ok for me to have my 11 pound dog outside in my lap, especially since there was no one out there and she said we are not pet friendly! It's not even a law anymore and she could of worded that better, than saying we are not pet friendly!

My reply to Presidentials unprofessional response:

When someone says we're not pet friendly, it comes off as they don't like pets or they don't like animals. Same thing can be said if someone said we aren't kid friendly. You allow kids and everyone knows that there are far worse kids than there are pets, mostly because of bad parenting and influential factors. My dog is my kid and I treat him like my son, especially since I don't have kids, but that doesn't mean I feel entitled to take him everywhere.

I never once said anything that would come off as being entitled to take my dog everywhere either. All I did was ask a question. Maybe you should educate your staff on giving more appropriate answers and explain the permitting issue, than saying your not pet friendly. It comes off as very negative. If you're a dog owner and you truly care about your dogs as fur babies instead of just using them as just tools for just security or whatever, then you would have had more compassion and understanding of how to talk to people/customers/pet owners better instead of treating them like they're stupid. Like your comment about leaving 1 star. Google won't let you post a review, unless you leave at least 1 star or I wouldn't of left any stars, especially after your terrible, condescending and narcissistic reply. You definitely could of replied in a more professional manner. You could also get the permit, so you can get more customers, but instead you chose to be rude to a customer that's been going there since you first opened. Most restraunts in Kalamazoo allow dogs on their patio and give them a bowl of water. Sorry, but you lost several customers over this reply alone. Believe that! Hopefully you will learn and become a more decent human being, not only for yourself, but for others that you interact with. We certainly can hope so! Thanks, but no thanks!

Absolutely love this place! The food is always Top Notch and there are always a great variety of brews available that never disappoint. Definitely one of my favorite spots!!
