The Tara · Bellaire, Michigan

Downtown, steps away.

You genuinely don't need a car once you're here. Downtown Bellaire — Bridge Street's breweries and tasting rooms, dining, shops, and the county's 1905 courthouse square — is a short walk from The Tara.

A village built around its square.

Bellaire is the county seat of Antrim County, and downtown still centers on the Courthouse Square the way it has since 1879. Bridge Street carries the brewery, distillery and cidery; the square carries the history; and it's all within a few blocks of each other — and of The Tara.
