We were between lighthouse visits and stopped at Alcona Brew Haus. WHAT A PLEASURE! The service was amazing and beer was outstanding. It was the best Alt Bier I have had in the United States. We both ordered pizza and both pies were perfectly cooked. Our daughter has many food allergies and the owner took the time to highlight the different selections on the menu that she can eat. We will be back!

Highly, recommend this place. The food is EXCELLENT. They cater to persons with allergies and make you feel welcome, The owner personally comes over to your table and makes sure that your order is fit to your allergy. They have a special purple plate to make sure the food allergy doesn't come into contact with other foods. I look forward to my next visit.

First of all, I suggest readers disregard the negative reviews as they are quite obviously personal attacks on the owners. (Their comments are provincial and I dare say, absurd). We have eaten here many times since they opened and have never had a bad experience. Tonight we ordered pulled a pork sandwich, blackened chicken fettuccini, wedge salads, and cheesecake and all were delicious. The owner and several staff came by throughout our meal to be sure all was well. Prices were reasonable - keep in mind inflation is the highest it has been in many years. Overall, we had a very nice dinner and we will return.

2nd time visiting this little jewel of a place in NE Michigan. Little bit of a drive for us, but so worth it!! My son has several food allergies and he was able to get an wonderful pizza with a delicious allergy friendly cheese. Lots of beer, wine, bourbon selection that are outstanding as well! The sandwiches are great. Phenomenal service and owners the "get" food allergies!!! Thank you so much, we will definitely be back!!!

What a shame. Definitely could use improvement in Food. Shameful the owners are too arrogant to listen to complaints and turn it on the customer as the problem. The owner who runs it was handed this hobby by her husband in their vacation town and it shows. Give your hard earned dollars to those hard working owners who committed their livelihood to giving you the best service and product they can and will right it if you don't. BTW, the wait staff there rocks.

4 of us had dinner and everyone enjoyed their meal. Those that had the in-house smoked meat raved about it. The ribs were another amazing meal. For the vegetarian in the group, there were 2 options. Carrie, I think, our server couldn’t do enough for us. She knew the food menu, portion sizes, beer which greatly assisted our decisions. And the beer was great. Definitely worth a return visit.

dont waste your time and money. owner is not only rude but really a strange person, and nasty. Food is burned and over priced, menu is very limited. who ever head of a brew house with not one steak on the menu. not everyone likes brisket and meat loaf. No wonder they can't keep help. I'm serious, DONT DO IT

Warm and inviting atmosphere, attentive wait staff with a caring approach to food allergies. Owner takes allergy concerns seriously with formal kitchen staff training and a color coded system to be sure that everything is perfect. The Gluten Free pizza is fantastic, pita sandwiches generously appointed and the food for those without allergies were tasty too. Lots of beer & cider choices too

We had a large group, everyone was so accommodating. My waiter was Lee he was just wonderful. He got us all the little things we needed straws, lemon, more dressing etc. Food was great! Brisket, pulled pork, wedge salad, mango chicken, sweet potato fries all good. Highly recommended.

My wife and I have been to this restaurant about 6-7 times and at this point, we're done. At least 4 times we've been given poor food or drinks and when we expressed our displeasure, instead of offering to remove the item or drink from our bill, the owner gets quite defensive and doesn't even consider to take it off. Service has been decent, but during our last and final visit, the waitress served as she said "very hot plates" while dangling them and reaching over our 1 year old Granddaughter sitting in a highchair. When you bring up a problem, such as your burger wasn't cooked properly, you get an "oh I'm sorry, we have a new cook and they are still learning" or "it's my fault, I placed it for medium instead of medium rare". We really wanted to like this place and tried, but when the owner refuses to acknowledge and fix the shortcomings and doesn't stand behind her product and service and instead, expects the customer to basically suck it up and pay for something that was sub par or not as expected, then it's time to say, enough is enough. We've given this place too many chances and nothing has changed. We used to stop here on our trips to or from Alpena, but now, we'll just wave on the way by. They will not get any more of my money for their overpriced food and drink "who charges $6 for a virgin bloody mary?" and subpar management practices.

Thursday at 1:30 pm My husband and his friend ordered a flight at the bar and texted my friend and I to join saying the food looked good. When my friend and I got there we were seated. I ordered a mimosa flight from our waitress. She brought us waters and then we didn’t see her or another employee for the next 26 minutes. When the waitress came to our table she said “let me check on that flight for you”, but didn’t offer to take our order. We declined and ended up leaving. Place had 4 other active tables, 2 of which had already finished their meals (one of which was upset by the wrong food they were delivered) and one who didn’t see wait staff for anything other than water either. All we ended up having was water so cannot comment on food or drinks.

Allergen friendly! A friend and I stopped by earlier today and they were incredible. I am allergic to gluten (wheat products and the like) and dairy. This tends to limit what I can have in restaurants. However, they not only had gluten free options, but dairy free as well! I even had a pizza for the first time in a while, and it was excellent! I couldn’t tell it was dairy and gluten free. The owner was so sweet and attentive, and it’s always amazing to find somewhere safe to eat. Absolutely delightful place, with great food, staff, and atmosphere. I highly recommend. Thank you for making a safe place for us to eat!

Visited this new brew pub several times over the fall and winter. Each time there has been a problem with our order possibly due to poorly trained staff. The owner makes up excuses and doesn't seem to want to resolve issues. The beer is extremely over priced and mediocre at best. Tastes of beer are prohibited. Do yourself a favor and continue traveling to alpena for good beer and food.

My husband and I had an unpleasant experience after stopping here after a day of hiking. We had ordered food in advance and wanted to sit on the patio with our dog while having a beer and waiting for our food. My husband asked the bar staff if this was okay and clearly indicated we had a dog. We were told it was fine and headed to the patio. A very short time later the staff appeared to have a change of heart and came and asked only my husband (who is not white) if he was done drinking, his glass was still mostly full. We were then told that we couldn't have dogs on the patio - there were no signs indicating dogs were not allowed on the patio, which has a separate entrance. The problem is not that they don't allow dogs, the problem is the way the communication was handled- asking my husband "are you done drinking" when that is clearly not the case rather than "hey, I didn't realize you had a dog, and we don't allow dogs". It's hard to imagine that the communication would have happened the way it did if I had been sitting there with my dad (who is white). For clarity, both my husband and I were at least 20 years older than the wait staff. When we confronted the bartender who my husband had spoken with initially he tried to deny the problem and pretend he had not understood that we had a dog even though my husband repeatedly mentioned that we had a dog and that was the reason we wanted to sit on the patio. The staff told us there was a sign on the restaurant, which we were able to locate once we knew where to look (on a side window in very small lettering not visible from the bar or restaurant entry). We returned the food we had just ordered and unopened drinks purchased on a previous day. We were told we would get a call from the owner but we did not. This was an ugly experience that capped an overall unpleasant time in the northeastern lower peninsula, where we felt almost universally unwelcome.

Always need new restaurants for our summer visits to Oscoda. The Alcona Beer Haus is an easy 14 mile drive up US 23. Great beers are a given. The DIPA and the Orange Wheat beers were my favorites. The ladies like the wine and flight of mimosas. The whitefish appetizer was a winner. We split dinner orders among delicious hand made pizzas and the Cuban sandwich. A great place that has been beautifully renovated. Definitely worth the drive.
