Stopped here in August 2022. Went to the bar to try their different whiskeys. Didn't buy cocktail. Whiskeys are really good. Ended up buying their rye. The cask strength bottles are excellent as well. Bartender was not very nice and I was the only customer while I was tasting so it must have been a bad day. Still, I would go back again.

What a fun experience! Great atmosphere, friendly, knowledgable staff and good whiskey. They had a nice variety of cocktails to choose from, and all the ones we tried were delicious! We recommend!

I'm not a whiskey drinker, but my partner is, so we choose this cool looking place! It's in an converted old building easily located on a corner. Nice ambiance on the inside with high top tables spread out nicely. The recommendation for a new an 'entry level' whiskey drinker was a Cherry Whiskey Sour. It was smooth with a mild, pleasant cherry flavor. I'll definitely get another one! Or try something different from the interesting list of drinks. My partner had the There were some very appealing hot drinks on the menu, too. A number of simple appetizers were available. We sat outside near heat lamps. The Staff was friendly and the bartender very helpful! Glad we stopped and we look forward to returning!

The Porchetta, tasso ham, pork sausage patties - how do you choose. My wife and I stopped in for a late breakfast and the full breakfast lunch menu was available. On the menu it simply states - Omelette, but it is bursting with steak, bacon, tasso ham, mushrooms and cheddar. Fantastic. The french toast made with cranberry raisin bread was a wonder and the hand formed pork sausage patties were delicious. The service was great. The restaurant follows the proper Covid protocols and makes you feel comfortable and at ease. A go to restaurant when in Traverse City.

Stopped by Towne Plaza for breakfast last Friday morning. Although it was chilly, we noticed that customers were dining on the patio. Since we were dressed warm with hats & gloves, we decided to be seated on the patio rather than wait for 30 minutes to dine inside. I ordered the mushroom soup & we both ordered the veggie omelette, one of the few vegetarian breakfast options. The soup was fantastic but the omelette was about 90% olives with some very bitter sun dried tomatoes a few strands of spinach & some cheese. Very minimal fresh ingredients.

We stopped into the Towne Plaza with two families. The staff was extremely friendly. The menu had some unique items on it and some that seemed straight forward. The straight forward was not even that, they had a unique and fun presentation. I ordered the BLT which was a pork loin with mixed greens, tomato on a sliced baguette style bread. It was a great dish. Our friend had the root vegetables which was layered like a lasagne and done very well. Everything was delicious and definitely a place to visit.

Worst lunch better half and I have ever had. A chunk of pork shoulder that was 1/2 fat and cost $13. What is good, or healthy for that matter, about this lunch? No veggies, other than a slice of deep fried green tomato, and deep fried cheese nugget. Thought the T.C. yuppies would be more choosy than to be ripped off for a cheap piece of super-fatty pork.

One Of The Best Highlights of Traverse City! This was the first time my husband and I visited. My husband loves their whiskey but it is hard to find in IL. We got several orders from family and friends and spent a pretty penny here. It is worth every cent! There was only one person on staff when we arrived when they opened. Honestly, she held the fort down great but could of used help to stock shelves and get glasses. My husband had the flight and I had two cocktails: the peach pit and cherry sour. I saw a video on Instagram earlier that showed how they made this drink with five cherries! When I got the drink and only had one I was a bit disappointed lol. The cherries are incredible. Get these and bring them home. My husband brought home a couple bottles of the cherry whiskey but the best surprise was when we brought home the Cherry Infused Barrel Proof bottle. It says batch #001. I’m not sure he’s ever going to open this lol. My husband got a hat and received $3 off because we ordered a cocktail. I was a bit surprised here, but they had the best whitefish dip I’ve tasted in TC. Not sure if they make it in house or purchase it but please try it! We will definitely be back. Next time, we hope to get a tour if it is up and running.
My wife and I stopped into Towne Plaza for breakfast. There is lots of outdoor seating which was nice. There was about a twenty minute wait but it was well worth it. I got an omelette that had steak, ham, bacon and some veggies. It was excellent. My wife got the French toast. Service and food was excellent. We will have to come back for lunch or dinner. Then menu looks good.

When you get tired of drinking crummy wine, stop in to Traverse City Whiskey. Delicious cocktails, fun flights that sample their repertoire of spirits, plus a few additional items in their gift shop like coffee beans and mixers. A nice break from the winery scene. We bought way more here than at any of the overpriced vineyards.

So I’ll admit that I’ve never been to the location before. However, I do order their premium cocktail cherries. They are the absolute best cherries my husband and I have ever had!! Far better than Luxardo. They’re a bit pricy but totally worth it!! We won’t buy any other cocktail cherries.

I had surf and turf Benny and husband had tenderloin Benny. Both delicious. Great service. Outdoor seating. Not a first time here for us. They always have great food. I’ve only ate breakfast here.
