Honestly, this place just gets better and better. We've been there almost since the beginning and have really enjoyed watching them grow. The owners are amazing. The staff is amazing. The atmosphere is amazing. The guests are amazing. … More The food is amazing. Anyone who says otherwise has to have their head examined (kidding, but maybe not). They go out of their way to make everyone feel welcomed and happy. It's the most relaxed environment in the area for sure. Karaoke? They got you. Trivia? They got you. Live music? They got you. ALWAYS CHANGING AND AMAZING BREWS? They got you. No more same ole same ole beers. They keep favorites on and rotate new ones ALL THE TIME. Same with food... always have awesome specials. No boredom here friends. Sit at the bar, sit at a table, sit at the cool handmade community picnic tables, sit outside, sit on the ground... no judgment here. And did i mention mini golf?? Yep. You can even carry your beer and set it on the cool, new holders at each hole, in case you're a serious mini golfer. And guess what!?!? They even have mini golf LEAGUES. Retro cartoons, yoga, Euchre... this place is the literal coolest in town. If you've never been... GO. If you've not been in a while... COME BACK. I think you'll love it just as much as all of us do!!!

Kind of a hometown feel. If you haven’t been to a Wednesday night Karaoke Bingo…it’s fun! The sprinkle of comedy throughout with the art/decor is a good touch. Can’t wait to check out the fire pit on a good night out on the patio!

This is one of my favorite places to come with my wife! Everybody is super nice, we’re supporting the veterans… And their beer menu is hilarious and witty! It’s great to sit outside in the summer and it’s wonderful to support a local business … More really good beer and good times

We have been going to Presidential Brewing for a few years now. We tried their trivia night and have been hooked ever since. We love the atmosphere, the beer, and the food. Presidential was even nice enough to host our engagement party … More this year, and it was perfect! This place is definitely a hidden gem in Portage!

This place is like no other. The staff is amazing, true credit to the owners taking care of them, the customers and community. The events, from putt putt golf to karaoke bingo are innovative, fun and are shared with the entire staff/owners … More every night. There are many cool breweries across the country, but this one nails a grand slam with great service, food, exceptional drinks and events. They support the other community business as well. If you go once..youll be hooked 🙂

A great atmosphere for families with great food and beer. The farmhouse tots, and the pickle pizza are amazing. The mini golf keeps our kids occupied and they always want to come here when we ask where they want to go for dinner.

We went there on Sunday afternoon for beers and food. They had limited staff so they were only doing bar service. I like the ambience of this place as it is based on the presidents of the USA. Even the name of the beers are based on the … More names of the presidents, e.g., oatbama is one of the beers they serve. The staff was very friendly and the food came in quickly. We ordered their Potus burger and the chicken sandwich. I absolutely loved their food. The patty was very well made and the chicken patty tasted amazing in the sandwich. Their beers are also good. One recommendation is to get the tater tots instead of chips as the chips aren't great.

What a find! Open at noon on Friday, which is a BIG deal in my book. We sat at the bar, and had a blast with bartender Christine, off-shift employee Jim, and patron Woody. What a great experience. We came in for beers, and will be back … More to explore the menu. I love the clever president-themed names on nearly everything. See you there!
