Odd Side Ales

In a strip-mall area. Taproom itself was cozy - we were there mid weekday and can imagine it gets packed easily. Lots of their own on tap with several new to me. Chilled on sofas, stuck tablets in kids faces, sipped on samplers. Food was meh.

Odd Side's taproom is in the middle of an old L-shaped building on the main street (Washington) in downtown Grand Haven, so you can't see it from the street. There's a parking lot on the west side and small patio (smoking pad, really) to the east, along First Street. It's a warm, inviting, fun space, with a large L-shaped bar and room, dartboards, and tables scattered throughout. There were about 20 things taking up the 27 tap handles when I visited, including a root beer. Good variety on the taps. Prices are in line with expectations. Food is available, with a menu mostly of nachos, salads, and sandwiches. We got a salad and nachos and I thought both were just okay. Beer's good, though, and there's plenty of it.

Glad I got to hit this place up but it feel a little flat. The atmosphere was bumping but I didn't like the feel of it being in a strip mall. Lots of ticks and they have tasters. As far as the beers, they had a ton, and lots of one off ones but most were average. The had the heavy hitters on like nightman and Mayan, but I was hoping for some rarer stuff. Decent spot but for as far as it is, not worth going out of the way.

I'd definitely go again. It had a really nice and woody vibe. I took a book in just to read and drink beer, and I had such a nice time.

Located inside a shopping mall in an old building. Big place, and its clear no brewing happens in this unit. Large bar, lots of tables. Food was tasty. Bartender gave good service despite the place being super-busy right away. Probably 40 or so people within 15 minutes of opening... on a weekday. Tons of beers on tap. All of them quite well executed and tasty. Plenty of bottles to go. Solid prices overall. Nice place, worth stopping by. Looks like there’s another brewery half a block away, but I had neither the time nor the sobriety.

Place is hard to find from the outside, but the inside is pretty jive & cool. Decent sized with a pretty big tap list. Lots of cool & interesting beers, some really great ones. Didn’t get food but it looked pretty tasty. Some nice sofas in the back to relax & drink your beer on. All in all, a really cool place. Would love to go back soon.

Stop #6. Hidden away in a strip mall, but well worth looking for it. Cool atmosphere and a ton of different beers on tap. Grab a flight and shoot the breeze with the bartender while you check out the shops and the different things in the mall. Grab a mix six on the way out too.

I loved this place. Great bar and some great beers.

Sits in the middle of a re purposed old building that was turned into a mall. They have at least 20 beers on tap. Super friendly service too. Worth the trip
