Shady’s Tap Room

Friendly owners. They went out of Their way to make us fell welcome! Good Beer and Food. Will be back.

I’ve given this place sooo many tries. I Really wanted to like it here! Everytime I go though something happens that totally ruins the experience. Last time, I went with my husband and brother and we ordered one large cheese pizza. It took exactly an hour and 15 minutes for it to come out. There were only two other tables with people at the time, so it definitely wasn’t busy, at all. We watched people come in after us and get their food before us. Some even finished their food and were leaving before we got ours. The waitress said nothing to us when she finally brought it out. Also, the mixed drinks never taste right. It must be the alcohol they use. Most have been undrinkable. I can’t do it anymore: (
Also, I wouldn’t order anything but the pizza. Even then it’s a hit or miss. Sometimes it’s amaaazing and other days it tastes freaking weird. Like they forgot a seasoning in the sauce and it tasted like tomato paste. Gross!

Took 40 mins to get appetizers and my nacho burger had two legit round nacho chips in it with a dab of nacho cheese… Good service from waitress but this place sucks.

We tried this place for the first time during Nascar weekend in August. Jen was the only one working out front and she was amazing. She hustled to everyone’s table and ran the bar on top of that without ever losing a smile. She deserves a raise. The beer tap selection was great and the food was very good as well. I will definitely be back during the next race weekend visit because of her!

Horrible food. Seriously. Long wait times for crap food, The beer selection is good but otherwise you are better off picking up a six pack and making a few burgers on the grill. Service is terrible. Brooklyn must be very desperate to put up with this place.

Excellent beer and lots of variety, and their hamburgers are just full of flavor. Definitely a great place to hand out, listen to live music Ina very relaxed environment. You can take a growler home with your favorite beer and special mugs can be purchased as well, which not only helps the owners to continue exploring new brews but gives you a feeling of being home.

Great beer selection of craft beers but if looking for a meal look else where. Service is slow as been told by locals. All sandwiches served in a basket the tuna melt was a mess that you had to eat it with a knife and fork but the paper in the basket was so wet they became one. Chicken wings and pizza where just okay.

I really want to like this place… it’s in a great location and Brooklyn can use a few decent places to eat. My wife and I have tried Shady’s 4 times in the last 3 months. I have been disappointed on all occasions. I ordered the pizza, the Reuben sandwich and the chicken wings on the first three visits… all arrived either cold or at room temperature. This weekend I tried the smothered baked potato special. How could that not be hot?. Well they found a way; the baked potato was hard (undercooked) but the chili on top was smoking!!! They got it half right; hence the 1 star review. Can’t they serve the food immediately after cooking? Do they know what a burner/​warmer station is?
It’s a fine establishment for drinking COLD beer and watching a game but be prepared for the bit**y barmaid!

I have given this place several chances and every time the food and service is consistently poor. Brooklyn is definitely in need of some new restaurants…

Fantastic spot! I come here with my family once a year when up at the cottage. We come here in between our family massages and pedicures. We randomly came in here for the first time, we had a red head waitress that suggested the signature pizza and their special Bloody Mary… Literally the best pizza I’ve ever had and the Bloody Mary was on point. Now it seems we always get her, and everytime we order the same food, still super surprised it’s so good. I’m obsessed with this place. I wish I had a place like this in Los Angeles so I could enjoy it more than once a year when visiting my family!!! Well done Shady’s!!! And thank you re headed server. You deserve a raise!

They have an interesting selection of Michigan microbrewery beers. The service was good. However, the reuben and roast beef sandwiches were just okay and a bit disappointing.

For Brooklyn, this place is REALLY nice. I mean really nice. No offense to Brooklyn, but it’s a small town with not much diversity or fancy places. Shady’s is NOT fancy, but a good bar/​restaurant.
We went around 9pm on a Friday night to watch some March Madness. There was about 8 of us and ordered a wide variety of snacks/​pizza. The beer selection was vast and really good, for Brooklyn’s standards.
The pizza was pretty tasty. The pretzel stick appetizer was good, but probably not worth the price. Although I did not try the stuffed mushrooms, they looked really, really good.
When I’m back in Brooklyn, I will definitely suggest we give Shady’s another visit.

Looove this place. The staff is very knowledgeable about the beers they serve, attentive, friendly, and fast. We were pleasantly surprised at how wonderful the food was! We ordered the pizza rolls, a deep dish pizza, and the Ruben appetizer. Fresh ingredients, hot food, cold beer. All the makings for a perfect relaxed evening. I’m really glad Brooklyn has a wonderful place like this. It’s about damn time!

Lousy. Period. Understaffed, EXTREMELY long wait for food even though all we ordered were a couple sandwiches, almost no presence by our waitress, and an unusually large number of tables needing to be bussed.
I gave the place 2 stars because:
1. The food wasn’t bad at all
2. The beer selection was better than usual
I will never return. Ever.

Solid place. Especially for Brooklyn.
In town staying on the lake for a few days and decided i needed to get out for a bit and find a place with actual beer to drink. not bud and garbage like that.
Dad tells me this place is big on Michigan beers so off we went.
They had a nice little selection of good craft brews. We all decided to grab a sandwich and all of us were happy. I had the grilled cheese with the feisty feta sauce. good stuff.
I didn’t get much «feisty» out of that sauce but it was still tasty.
Def a great place to check out if you enjoy craft beer are ever around this town.

We sat outside on a beautiful evening. Jessica was a friendly, upbeat server. The lobster bisque was AWSOME!!! I had a tuna melt, hubby had roast beef sandwich. Very fresh and delicious. We are on vacation in the area for only a week. We WILL eat here again!

Rude bartender, staff is pretty friendly, food takes forever to make it to the table and no fryer.

I grew up in Brooklyn, and Shady’s Tap Room doesn’t feel like it belongs in Brooklyn, yet it does at the same time.
My family and I went for dinner one night. The interior is a mix of exposed brick, painted pipes and new wood panels and tables. I was impressed by the atmosphere. It was casual but oddly upscale for Brooklyn. The tables don’t have the best chairs, but they are comfortable enough. I thought the layout was strange and there were too many hi-​top tables. Despite this preferences, I loved the interior. I liked the large wood bar with the wooden liquor rack behind it.
The menu is not huge. It’s mostly sandwiches, salads and pizza. We ordered two pizzas, the Shady’s Signature and a regular pizza. I thought both were excellent. The Signature was very unique with chicken and a blend of cheeses and spice. I loved both pizzas. My parents didn’t care for the Signature but really liked the regular pizza. My sister had the deep dish pizza at another time and said it was so filling she could only eat one piece.
The real stars of Shady’s are the taps. I believe they have 12 and they’re adding more. They only serve local Michigan beers and it was a delight to see such a large sample of Michigan beer since Michigan is becoming such a craft beer location. I can’t remember all of them but there was variety from several different brewers and types of beer.
The service was excellent. Our server was friendly and fast.
Overall, I thought this was a great place and I hope it succeeds. Brooklyn isn’t a big place, but it was busy when I was there.
If you’re in the area and looking for good pizza and beer check it out.
