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 is good (60+ taps) and nicely thought out. They also have a nice selection of wines and food in a relaxed Wine Bar-Bistro atmosphere.
They usually have a tap or two of lower-tier Michigan breweries, and they don’t tend to overplay Bell’s like many other places do – they give Short’s, Dark Horse, and Dragonmead a good run for their money. The bar also offers seasonal beers as well as some out-of-state options. They offer wine by the glass as well. This is a nice complement to the Tap Room next door, which serves traditional pub fare and has a more casual feel.
Dusty’s Wine Bar
Dusty’s Cellar offers a wide selection of wine in a restaurant, retail store and wine bar. The restaurant features an upscale menu and was awarded a Wine Spectator award in 2007. Next door, the Tap Room offers pub food and draft beer. The shop also sells a wide variety of gifts and specialty Michigan foods.
Dusty’s is highly rated by customers who praise the service and food. This restaurant is perfect for a romantic evening out or special celebration. The restaurant offers a variety of wines from around the world and hosts wine tastings throughout the year.
The restaurant has an extensive selection of beer, including local Michigan breweries and some hard-to-find out-of-state brands. The restaurant also serves a wide variety of desserts, as well as coffee. Menu is classic, but has a modern twist. Diners can choose from dishes such as Telicherry Pepper and Sea Salt Dusted Filet Mignon or African “Berbere” Spiced Rack of Lamb.
Dusty’s Tap Room
The Dusty’s Tap Room is the bar component of the Dusty’s Cellar wine shop, offering traditional pub fare and draft beer. This family-owned restaurant is a sophisticated casual atmosphere where you can enjoy fine wines and beer while eating delicious food. 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 beer selection is much better than what you would expect for a bar that only has 1/3 of Bell’s taps. They also tend to have some beers on hand longer than other bars (for instance, they stock a variety of Short’s season ales). Service is excellent. This is a must-stop for beer lovers.
