5 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Watervliet

“If you're a beer enthusiastic, you need to get to this brewery! The Soursmith Kriek was one of the best US sours I've had. Similarly, the Red Raspberry is terrific and the Black Raspberry (almost a 4.5 rating on Untappd!) was outstanding. During my July 4 visit, they also had an excellent Pale Ale (collab with Livery) and a very pleasing Cherry Wit. I was also VERY pleased with The Olde Ways, a Belgian Dark Strong. Thanks to Andy at Arclight for suggesting this one!

I got to meet owner Dave and learned that they're aging the sours in custom built Foeders at another facility across the street. The Kriek was aged for 13 months and that effort shows up in the final product. Dave was a lot of fun to chat with and we also really enjoyed hearing from Andy, who served our beers on our first visit (we came back the following day for more!). Andy's passion and knowledge were fully on display.

Best of all, everyone I was traveling with really enjoyed the place! None of them was a beer geek but everyone found something they loved. And we ate some terrific pizza from the restaurant across the street (Local 3) while we relaxed on the patio.

Last thought - if they ever do a Gueuze I'm going to book a hotel and hang out here for a few days! Dave suggested that might be a possibility at some point, but they're knocking their current stuff out of the park.“

“Karma Vista is my all-time favorite winery. Great wines, great owners, great employees. I love hearing about the wines and love how they come up with the names of their wines. Seriously, if you go to New Buffalo for the wineries, go a bit further to Coloma and go to Karma Vista. You will not be disappointed!!“

“Great pizza and service, never been disappointed. Nice to see the owner, and great to see Melissa back. Keep up the good work!“

“A chocolate shake from Driftwood sounds like the ultimate late night snack right now. See you guys soon!“

“Vineyard 2121 has a wonderful patio with live music on some evenings. I got a tasting of four wines, and was quite happy with them. I also tried their cherry cider, and that was absolutely delicious. The staff was friendly, and there was a good variety in the drinks. They had some ciders and beers in addition to their wine. I was quite happy with my visit.“
