Our Story
The Wash began with a simple idea: create a space where the rich traditions of American bourbon culture could flourish in the beauty of Michigan's Thumb region.
Named after the "wash" stage of bourbon production—where grain, water, and yeast first come together—our establishment celebrates the craft, patience, and passion that goes into every bottle we pour.
Since opening our doors, we've become a gathering place for locals and visitors alike. Whether you're a seasoned bourbon enthusiast or just beginning your journey, our knowledgeable staff is here to guide you through our extensive collection and help you discover your new favorite pour.
Our kitchen complements our bar with dishes designed to pair perfectly with bourbon—from our signature bourbon-glazed wings to our house-smoked brisket. Every ingredient is carefully selected, and every dish is prepared with the same dedication to craft that goes into every pour.
