TopShelf Pizza & Pub is Muskegon's Best Kept-Secret!

Could TopShelf Pizza & Pub be Muskegon's best kept-secret? Located on a side street off from Apple Ave, (look for the sign!) it could be easy to miss from the main street. However, barely three months into the year, they've already been through enough Founders' beer to earn them a reputation as "Founders' West." Personally, I count at least 2 tappings of Better Half, in addition to multiple kegs of Red's Rye, Double Trouble, and Porter as well as an undisclosed amount of bottles of Kentucky Breakfast Stout, at a minimum; and I've not been keeping track.

The pizza is made from scratch daily with fresh ingredients and rivals even the most popular Muskegon pizza joints. I am also partial to the Greek Pitas and Salads. The food is available for delivery, but why not stop in and at least enjoy a Michigan draft beer while you wait?

For a beer bar featuring only nine taps, Topshelf has a stellar lineup of rotating drafts putting them in the same league as Pints & Quarts and Henessy's, even if with less than half the numbers of taps as these destinations. Current offerings include the Dark House Plead the 5th Imperial Stout, Bell's Two-hearted, and New Holland's Dragonmilk. Topshelf is always a great place to catch the latest sporting event or else to stop in on Saturday nights for some live music.
