9 Best Brewpubs near Traverse City

“I went to Farm Club while on a ski trip with my friends and we just loved this place! It has an amazing atmosphere and wonderful food and drink options.“

“Had great service tonight. Waiter gave my indecisive wife multiple samples. We split the lamb burger and banh mi. The lamb burger is excellent, the bahn mi’s sodium content was off the charts and super gross. They can’t all be zingers! Still love this place, check it out!“

“A local told us we needed to visit here while in town and we are SO glad we came. If you are a fan of sour beers, they have a great Jolly Pumpkin brand selection.

The vibe of this building is second to none. Spooky yet cozy at the same time. Service was top tier. Our server, Penashe, was always on time and personable. She helped curate the Jolly Pumpkin experience.

We got truffle fires as an appetizer and they were some of the best truffle fries I’ve had. Fresh, truffle, Parmesan cheese coated goodness. The pepperoni pizza we got was AMAZING. I love good pizza, and this was GOOD pizza. Crust was perfect, dough was house made, perfect ration of pepperoni. We finished our meal off with the Pumpkin Cake and it was 10/10.

Overall, this place is a local legend. If you’re in the area, you MUST come here.“

“Our family (adult children and significant others) had a great time! Anthony was a great guide and a lot of fun to talk with. Traverse Bay was very choppy, so we were changed to a river tour--one which I think was better. The was a little current in the river, but not enough to cause fatigue. The biking was overall easy--even for those of us who hadn't been on a bike for the past few years. About 45-60 minutes was spent at the breweries--enough time for a couple of beers and something to eat. It was an excellent value and fun for all of us!“

“Date: Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2025.

We went to dinner at North Peak.
The pork chop with cherry sauce on top was scrumptious.
My wife had the delicious crusted chicken sandwich.
Our kids were happy as pie with their pizza and burger.
Our server Jack is a seasoned pro who was kind and attentive.

Nice Job North Peak! What a great place.

“Stopped in for a quick beer. The IPA on tap was good but they have a small line up of beers for how big a space it is. Inside nice concrete floor. Forward thinking bathrooms for men to change babies was a great touch. Has an outdoor patio area that looked like it could use a little tlc though...there was a surprising amount of space inside but I think it could be better spaced as the hightop tables seemed congested to me. Simple fixes. Just takes effort.“

“Great brews and friendly staff! What could be better except free beer 🙄🤩“

“This place is incredible. A super great atmosphere with a ton of vintage pinball machines and some other arcade games. The beer was delicious & has a huge variety that you can't go wrong with. The pizza was absolutely incredible. I had that BBQ chicken and it was awesome. Great service too as the owner, Russ, was there to personally greet us. Definitely a must stop if you're ever in Traverse City. Keep Beer Curious!“

“Went into Stone Hound Brewery for the first time. I have to say and keep in mind I don’t talk much or spread my thought process often. So moving on. I had the nachos and the chicken sandwich. If ur in the area and can support a locally owned business. By far this is one I would recommend. Kudos to stone hound for the fantastic food and beer. Awesome!! If you are apprehensive about trying a vegan option….don’t be….this place is awesome!“
