This is my go-to place. I hated beer before I started going here. They have over 1,000 beers. Then have a REALLY good selection of non-beer cocktails. Food is amazing, and they have really good seating inside and out.

This beer is amazing! The anti-seltzers have real fruit in them and don't even taste like seltzers. The beer is amazing! Some of their collections sell out if you don't go on release day. Food is out of this world and pretty sure their nachos are act...

Michigan has two East side Floating waterparks. I highly recommend these as they are a lot of fun. However, if you do not have kids check first if either park has kid less hours. If you don't mind kids, then ignore that tip.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DOING THIS AT LEAST ONCE IN YOUR LIFETIME! Adult summer camp is so much fun and personally I like summer camp 10x as an adult.

This is a EXTREMELY large festival. Not for the faint. It gets hot, rowdy, and loud. But definitely for the country music fans.

No.1 Recommendation for Adult summer camp if you can travel. They used to host in Michigan however, they trimmed it down to four states and continue to grow back out. They are a very personable company and are absolutely amazing!
