Before this place closed its doors to the public, because of the Covid 19 pandemic, my husband and I, along with some friends of ours, spent an afternoon here. My husband tried a bunch of their beers and liked them all, but he especially liked the Bucket Foot Black IPA. I don't drink beer (can't have the carbonation) so I was allowed to bring in my own coffee. It was handy that there was a Starbucks right next door. We were there on the third Sunday of the month which is when "crafters" meet and drink. While the guys sat at their own table the women sat at a different table and knitted and crocheted. It was a nice relaxing atmosphere and I can't wait to do it again after the stay at home orders are lifted.

Great beer. Great service. Small menu of bar bites but done very well. We will be back to enjoy some more cold brews and tasty treats.

This brewery is a little off the main path from most of the breweries in Grand Rapids, but it's definitely worth the trip. They seem to have about 6 beers on tap and they change pretty frequently. The staff is helpful and polite and the patrons are very friendly. They do not have food but you can order food from several nearby places that will deliver to the bar. They also have lots of board games on available to play for free while you enjoy a pint or two.

The people are just nice; they made their hobby their job, and now sell everything you might need for home brewing to their beer loving friends, too. And they keep experimenting - try the 5 flight once a week, chances are you will never have the same beer twice. Thus they draw a good crowd - of all micro breweries visited, this is the most inviting crowd and always good for a quick friendly chat even among strangers. They will be a huge success when the remodel of Ada is complete and more people find out about them. Bring your own food, with good weather hang out in the beer garden - these guys are fun about beer drinking.

Gravel Bottom is your quintessential neighborhood gathering place. They typically have a variety of ~5-6 beers on tap across different styles, and I usually have liked whatever I have tried. The beer menu is regularly rotated, so you can always try new beers. If you haven't tried it, it is worth a visit.

Gravel Bottom has a great selection of ever changing beer on tap. The beer is listed on the wall when you come in, with usually 6 beers on tap. You can also see what will be on tap next. If you can't make up your mind, you can order a flight of 5 or 6 of the beers. While they only sell chips and peanuts, they advertise for several of the fine restaurants in the Ada, MI area and provide plates, napkins and silverware when you bring in your own food. They also have a selection of soft drinks for those that don't want beer. If you are a home brewer, they also offer everything you need to brew your own beer including: grains, extracts, hops, yeast, as well as, brewing and bottling equipment. In the warm months they have an outdoor area, where you can enjoy your beverages.

Great ever changing food menu. Love the specials that are not on the menu. Favorites are Tiger Red beer and Fig Flatbread. Nice patio as well. Never had a draft we didn't like.

Good brew pub. Food is fine, not spectacular. The beer is good :) Come on a Sunday afternoon and see a surprisingly high number of fathers with their kids. Outdoor seating in summer.

Sat at the bar for 10 minutes before bartender\owner even acknowledged my existence. Waited another 5 minutes and left... while he served all his buddies. Too many other breweries have great service, unfortunately not this one.

Family favorite! My brother and dad are super picky beer drinkers (beer snobs) and they LOVE this place! Gorgeous new location. Relaxed atmosphere. Game closet. You won't regret visiting here!
