    The service was everything. So helpful, going above and beyond. My friend and I even complained about the taste of the cider and an employee received the complaint so well and imeadiatly took care of. The musical talent was excellent. The upstairs is so cool. Pizza was so good.

    The Livery is a local treasure here in Benton Harbor. The beers are well-made, and the owner has made it a point of combining an assortment of quality brews with service-oriented and knowledgeable employees. When not during a pandemic, they are host to a great many fantastic live shows. I was lucky enough to catch one of the last live shows here before the pandemic's grip reached here in 2020. The brewmaster is given the freedom to be creative with his firkins, and doesn't disappoint. On Fridays they have Firkin Friday where they tap a new firkin. Normally these are sold-out by later that evening. To help with social distancing they have been keeping their beer garden open during the winter, and have fire pits along with heaters in an open walled tent. On any given night you could grab a beer, and share a conversation with the brewmaster or the owner.

    Fabulous Irish stew & yummy sándwich to chase the freezing blues away from The Livery! Chef Matt is killin’ it.

    This is a really cool place that I've personally just recently discovered but it's been in business for 16 years I think. They have a lot of great bands performing live, it's a cool old building that used to be an actual Livery called The Palace Livery like a long time ago when horses were transportation. The beer is great and the pizzas are delicious! That's the only food I've had so far but I've had it multiple times! This is my new "first place I check when I'm looking for something to do over the weekend" to see what music they've got scheduled. The outdoor benches don't have heated seats but I think there may be a project in the works 😁 overall a great place to go!

    I had been looking forward to coming here for YEARS! FINALLY! I am so glad I finally got to be here and experience this awesomeness. The service was beyond excellent, the beer is hands down some of the best in the state, and the building and property are way cool. Definitely recommend.

    Great beer. Very diverse selection from a very solid every day IPA to a barrel aged Belgian IPA sour. Food was great. Gluten free pizza. Pretzel bites were very good. Nice, chill atmosphere

    We love the pizza N beer! It's a great place to see music and the upstairs loft has space for rowdy kids to be kids, while adults enjoy a conversation 😀

  • 5/5 Skylar G. 2 years ago on Google
    The livery is our go to spot on Friday and Saturday nights. Their music acts are all pretty reliable for a good time and I’m surprised more people don’t show up for the live shows. I definitely prefer when the show is inside because the sound is a lot better but sometimes it is nice to sit outside when the weather is warm. My only advice would be to have more selection of light beers but their rotating drafts are typically pretty good too!

  • 5/5 Mike L. 4 years ago on Google
    Wow! This place was fantastic! We came in from out of town on vacation and based on the discussions with the regulars came up with an amazing pizza option (Bad Trip, add Sausage btw). The pizza was amazing, the beer was fantastic. We were almost mad we went there on the first night since now we don't want to go anywhere else!

  • 4/5 Mary G. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent turkey, avocado wrap sandwich! We were upstairs, which was open and airy. Good sound system for the entertainment. Wish they would brew or stock some NA beer for those of us who don't drink alcohol but want something other than pop.

    Awesome spot in Benton Harbor. Loved the open mic night and the large selection of microbrews. The food took a while, but overall great vibe and I'm looking forward to visiting again soon!

  • 5/5 Chris Y. 7 months ago on Google
    Awesome location and atmosphere. One of my favorite locations in Benton Harbor to go for a drink and hang with friends. They have great live music on the weekends. Excellent beer

  • 3/5 ALL4FITZ 1 year ago on Google
    Although they went through a long period of time with bad beer, it's really nice now. Fantastic location, building, outdoor space. You have to try it. Just know that pretzels and pizza are 95% salt. I tried two pizzas tonight. One was ridiculously salted and the other was criminally salted. It's unbelievable what they think is acceptable levels of salt. Nauseating. But still....try this place. You'll probably like it.

    It’s hard to find a brewery that has incredible beer, amazing food, and live music in an intimate setting. This trifecta of perfection exists at The Livery!!! The recent addition of a cast zinc bar top uniquely completes the post-industrial vibe inside. Outdoor seating is a great option when the Michigan sun is shining or the bonfires are roaring. A must go for all!

  • 5/5 Chris L. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been visiting BH for 10+ years, and the Livery is always on my must visit places each time I'm in town. The Pizza is amazing and the beer is even more amazing. I honestly do not think they have a bad beer.

  • 1/5 shayne C. 1 year ago on Google
    We were told to sit upstairs with no elevator. I have an invisible illness but up I went. Once we found our group we discovered if we wanted anything to eat or drink we had to go back downstairs and order it and bring up our own drinks every time we wanted something. There's a pile of plates stacked in the corner with silverware you get yourself. They do bring your food up to you. But you clear your own dishes. Pizza was very good but not worth the effort.

    I've been a loyal customer since 2006. Even though I moved away over 12 years ago, I always come back to this establishment whenever I visit MI. Their pizzas and beers are phenomenal and so is the livery team! I highly recommend the Mikey's Bad Trip pizza and a beer flight.

  • 4/5 Coruja R. 1 year ago on Google
    The Livery is a relaxed style bar with many good options of food and beer. Microbrewery choices are great. Make sure you taste the many different pizzas and TBA sandwich, you will not be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Marci W. 1 year ago on Google
    Cute, fun place for locals to relax and gather. There is a bar downstairs in the lower level and a two story area upstairs. When the weather is nice enjoy the outside patio. Delicious food and unique beers.

  • 4/5 Carla S. 1 year ago on Google
    We really enjoyed the pizza, beer, cider, pretzels, and unloaded hummus. The hummus had great texture and flavor. The only thing was a lot more hummus than bread to eat it. The pizza was awesome in every way! The toppings were not over or under done, just perfect. In the basement section, they only had bar service. So we had to go to the bar to get our drinks, order our food, and pay our bill. We even had to get our own plates, napkins, and forks, which was the only downfall.

    Great beer and pizza! And what a cool building. Will be back.

  • 5/5 Kristen A. 1 year ago on Google
    The Livery always provides a terrific evening! The service is spectacular, the food is amazing, and the beer is cold and delicious. You never have to wait long for your food and it's so, so good.

  • 5/5 Alexis Vale W. 1 year ago on Google
    The Livery was perfect for our rehearsal dinner. Such a cute venue, great selection of food, incredible staff who are so kind and helpful. We highly recommend using them for all your food, beer, and event help!

👍👍 Took my wife here for date night last Friday and what a great little addition to Benton Harbor!
