We found the Bridge Street Taproom via The Hops Passport book. Very happy that we did. We had lunch, it was very filling and our drafts were nice and cold. Beautiful surroundings, street noise was not bad. Enjoyed the Lake as well as people watching.

Do yourself a favor… Sit on the patio overlooking Round Lake for brunch, order the Breakfast Pizza or Breakfast Burrito, and pair it with one of the many great craft beer options! Incredible. Friendly and professional staff!

One of the weirdest dining experiences I’ve had in a while. I asked the waiter if the $23 black bean bowl was a big portion or a smaller one, and his response? “It’s 800 calories.” I asked again how big it was, and he said, “Calories IS volume.” 😅 (Spoiler: they’re not.) Just a strange interaction all around. On top of that, they were out of 3 out of 4 drinks I tried to order. The food itself was just okay—not bad, but nothing special—and definitely felt overpriced. You’re mainly paying for the view, which is beautiful, so if that’s what you’re after, it might be worth it. Just be prepared for an odd vibe and a light wallet.

Has the potential to be a great place. Views are amazing. The food was okay. Mac and cheese sandwich tasted amazing but came out hardly warm. Ordered a tequila sunrise, I am not sure there was any tequila, and the OJ tasted off. The waiter was kind and attentive as he could be. Our waiter seemed to be taking care of quite a few tables for one person.

Day 1) "Burnt ends pork belly" are more like boiled fat chunks, nothing burnt about them. Need a little work on that. Mac & cheese and the pizza were pretty good. Great tap selection of many Michigan beers. Our server was on top of things pretty well, and he was very courteous. The atmosphere is very tight, loud, and confined. If it had been warmer, sitting outside would have been much better. Day 2) Boy this place has potential but seems to fall flat. With the tasty pizza, decided on giving it another try. Carry out order, wrong toppings on the pizza, and a cheese pizza instead of cheesy garlic bread. With a little better leadership, this place could be top notch.
