Dusty’s Cellar
Dusty’s Cellar is a small modern tall-chair bistro bar that caters to the upscale brew-pub crowd,but welcomes sport-bar enthusiasts as well (although most hang out across the street at Buddy’s). The beer selection (60+ taps),is well thought out. The Wine Bar Bistro offers a good selection of food and wines in a relaxed atmosphere.
The place has a few taps of Michigan’s lower-tier breweries. They don’t overplay Bell’s as many places do. Instead,they give Short’s Dark Horse and Dragonmead,a run for their money. The bar also offers seasonal beers as well as some out-of-state options. Also,they offer wine by-the-glass. The Tap Room,located next door and serving traditional pub food with a casual atmosphere,is a great complement.

Dusty’s Ta Room
The Dusty’s Tap Room is the bar component of the Dusty’s Cellar wine shop,offering traditional pub fare and draft beer. The family-owned restaurant offers a relaxed,sophisticated atmosphere in which you can enjoy delicious food and fine wine. The bar is decorated in a high-end style,and staff are knowledgeable about food and drinks. The menu features burgers,fish and chips,pot pies,and pizza. The bar also offers an extensive selection of wines by the glass.
The beer selection is very good and diverse,with a nice mix of Michigan locals,plus some harder-to-find out-of-state beers. The selection is better than you might expect from a place that plays 1/3 of Bell’s taps,and they tend to keep some beers around longer than some other places do (for example,they carry a number of Short’s seasonals). The service is very good as well. This is a must-stop for beer lovers.
