Good beer, great view, friendly staff. I haven't been here since 2016 when Beards was in kind of a back alley building, but it was quirky and had games to play, and we really liked it! Fast forward: great location, but beer is still top-notch! I'll be back!

I had to stay in Petoskey for several months for work and I tried as many eateries as I could in my time. Beards was one of my favorites and I ate there several times. Their food is delicious, filling, modern, but they don’t over do the recipe so there is something familiar about their unique take on the dishes. The Lobster Roll and Mac and Cheese go great together and are hard to beat. The interior feels cozy, and the giant windows overlooking the bay are great. If you stop in you should find the elevator and head down to the downstairs bar, it is a completely different feel and is a great place to relax and maybe play some video games. Also they have special events, the one I attended as the MexiGander and it was worth the money and experience.

Loved the spot - great overlook of the lake. Beer variety is nice & sure to improve as they grow. Dunkel, IPA’s and Red were my favorites from the flight we shared. The burritos & tacos were tasty. But the self service, pick up at the window & paper & plastic utensils have to be improved to get 5 stars. Did buy a 6 pack to go and had a great time here. Love to come here on next Michigan trip. Restrooms clean & easy to find. Wheelchair accessible.

Very good parm fries. Excellent waiter...Grant! The parmesan fries were full of flavor! Honestly worth every bite.

Came in on the Friday before Memorial Day and it was a ghost town. After our experience I know understand why. First of all, they advertise pizza. We went after a long day of driving and were very hungry. We were immediately disappointed with the self service aspect of it, but decided to give it a change. I ordered a beer while the rest of the family looked at the menu. Halfway through my beer, we really didn't find anything interesting on the menu (no pizza) so we decided on a burger for my wife, chicken tenders for my 3 year old, and boneless wings for myself. The burger was ok but for 17 dollars, it didn't eve come with chips. My boneless wing were more like poppers and was a very small portion for 15 dollars. My kids tenders was more food than I got and it was only 10. The food was also off the shelf Gordons with nothing that made it special. The beer was ok, but I definitely understand why this place was dead on a Friday night. I live out of town so I likely won't be back, just wanted to warn others not to waste their time here.
