Everyone has that local bar that makes you feel welcome just by walking in the door. Reo Town Pub is that bar for me. Recently, the Beer Hound offices were just a spiral staircase away. On bad days, or just days we decided to close up shop early and have a beer, you could find us talking to owner Roxanne and either Jack or Sarah while they bartended.

Experience Beer, Food And An Amazing Patio At The Franklin In Traverse City
Written by Jennifer Hamilton
Michiganders only get a few months of warm weather each year. If you are anything like me, it is imperative to soak up the sunshine as often as possible. That is why I am constantly on the lookout for places with great outdoor patios. One of the best patios Traverse City has to offer sits atop The Franklin. Not only is the patio atmosphere worth seeing, but the beer selection is out of this world.

Michigan was the first state to repeal prohibition, by ratifying the 21st Amendment on April 10, 1933. The newly opened Rochester Tap Room wants to honor and celebrate that history. From a bar top made of reclaimed wood from 1930’s homes to wood panels from the former U. S. Federal Reserve Building in Detroit, the building pays homage to 1933.

Visit Traverse City's Best Location For A Great Beverage: The Parlor
Written by Jennifer Hamilton
With a diverse and elaborate selection of draft and bottled craft beers, The Parlor is one of Traverse City’s best locations to visit for a great beverage. Their happy hour deals will make your jaw drop, consisting of half off all food and beverages, Monday-Saturday, 4pm-7pm. A few of the breweries represented include Short’s Brewing Company, Founder’s Brewing Company, New Holland Brewing Company, and Right Brain Brewery. With such a tremendous happy hour, that puts both the Dirty Bastard from Founder’s and Soft Parade from Short’s at a mere $3 per bottle. The beer list is ever-rotating, so the opportunity to try something new is always presented. Of course, the wine and signature cocktail list is extensive as well, so you can always bring your non-beer-drinking friends along for the experience.
