Worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. We came with a group of 12 people for a bachelors party dinner, and not a single person was impressed with the food or the service. The bourbon was good, but that's where it ended. It took 1.5 hours for the first appetizers to come out, and not everyone got them. I ordered a simple wood fired pretzel with beer cheese, and it never came. Most people said the appetizers they got were "ok", but nothing to write home about. Then about 2 hours in, the food started coming out (2 of us still hadn't received appetizers). I told the waitress (who appeared very stoned and forgetful) to cancel my appetizer and just bring me out the baked carbonara that I ordered. After everyone received their food, I was still sitting there without my pasta. Everyone was almost finished eating their entire meals, and the waitress shows up with a dish, puts it in front of me, and says "here's your carbonara". I looked at the dish, and it wasn't the dish I ordered, but instead it was their bolognese pasta. I called her over again, and told her I had the wrong dish, and I just wanted to cancel my entire order. This entire time I was being super polite because I work in customer service and I know people sometimes have bad days or forget things. She still had not offered a single apology, and instead said "Are you sure you don't want me to get the carbonara? They can throw it together pretty quickly", as I'm thinking in my head seriously? It's already been 2 hours and we're just now getting our food and we're the biggest party in the entire restaurant. I said no, I will go eat somewhere else. I've never had to cancel my entire order in the 30+ years of eating out at restaurants. This is definitely a place I won't be attending again.

Read moreI am the traveler. The 18th is one of my favourite places to stop when I come to Muskegon. Always a fantastic atmosphere, with great service. This is an establishment that takes the up most pride in creating amazing drinks and cocktails, and food. All their juices are fresh squeezed right on premises, even make their own simple syrup. The Chef Ben, I believe is one of the best food artist in Muskegon, always trying to come up with new creations and keeping the originals tasting amazing. The filet sliders are the best sliders you will find in a 10 state area, their artisan wood fired pizza’s untouchable. And the spinach dip oohhh so goood. Today I tried the Mulberry Hibiscus Sour this weeks drink special, and it was a delicious concoction designed by Chloe delightful bartender that creates her very own cocktails this being one of the. My personal favourite is the Chesterfield, this is an Amazing drink made with Bourbon, Cinnamon Simple Syrup, & Orange Bitters served in a smoke filled bottle from their very own wood chips. Shake the bottle for a second and then poor over large ice cube. The smoke give this drink one of the most unique flavours I’ve had. If you like bourbon and smoked things this drink is right up your alley. If you are around this summer you must try the peanut butter pie, melts in your mouth. Highly recommend a visit if you are anywhere near. Please follow on Facebook to see...
Read moreDue to some technical difficulties, my order that I called ahead wasn't put in at all, so upon arrival to pick up said order, I was politely told it would be another 20 minute wait, offered no discount on the twenty dollar small pizzas, I just hope they taste good and aren't rushed out. Apparently food takes backseat to liquor at this establishment. Edit: Got the pizzas, neither cooked to the same level of doneness, but the main part is this; this isn't a place you come to for food clearly, should've realized that from the name. The pizza was difficult to eat without the slice falling apart, overpowering salt flavor from the sausage or the pancetta, likely both. The sauce was hardly that, as I could literally taste the can still on the tomatoes leading me to believe this San marzano tomato "sauce" to be nothing more than a can of crushed San marzano tomatoes spread over the dough. Moral of the story, if you're into over priced drinks this is a nice place in a great spot, drink enough and you won't be able to tell how terrible...
