“We just had dinner here before going across the street to a concert. The food was excellent! It came out quickly and our server, Kyra, was so friendly, supper attentive and very welcoming! We will be back!!“

“I have been to this brewery a handful of times and the beers just keep getting better and better. They have a full line up; lighter options, IPA’s, stouts, sours, etc. Every time I go, they have something better than the last time. Yesterday, I visited the brewery and I am in a straight leg brace and crutches after having knee surgery. James, the bartender, was very courteous and helpful, even going as far as bringing me over an extra padded chair to elevate my leg on without me asking. It’s hard to find great service like that anymore. I highly recommend this brewery to anyone.“

“We hosted a 40th birthday party here a few weeks ago and could not have had a better experience! The staff were friendly and helpful. The drinks were wonderful and the room worked perfectly for our needs. I absolutely would use Urbanrest again as an event space! Thank you so much to the entire crew for making our party memorable.“

“Not gonna lie... kinda felt wrong drinking amazing beer in a McDonald's play place... j/j kinda. Our server, didn't catch her name was awesome, not a single complaint and nothing but anything positive to say about her. We dined in on 7/11/26 and were led to a section where there was a group made primarily of kids (def out#ed kids to adults or seemed that way) which seems odd for a brewery, yes grif makes amazing food and they dont want to exclude anyone from enjoying theyre amazing brew and food but like dang... as a parent maybe rethink where you're taking your kids. I really would rather not hear your velocorapters screeching as they run around yer tables as you speak of nothing of importance... thats kinda mean and I meant it... not deleting it.

Our server was awesome, sorry I dont remember her name, brunette with ponytail. Prolly not gonna help. She was awesome. Helped source a fifth of the flying buffalo bourbon and a thing of doppel gangger. Again everything was awesome, truf burger was cooked to med like a pro. Flavor was outstanding. Staff outstanding. Great experience.

Stop bringing your kids to an adult evening getaway“

“Last night we had Charise as our server. She was the bomb!! Great personality, knowledgeable on food. beer & spirits. I ordered half an order of plain chicken wings! Holy cow they were a full wing and huge! They were awesome. They had a little dry rub on them. Sauce on the side. We were on the 2nd floor. Very quaint and had a pool table. I highly recommend this place. It was my 1st time there. I'll be going back!“

“Silly me!
I just found this Happy Hour M-F 2-5:30
We got here 3:15 on a Thursday, totally chill, parked right out front.
Great spot for half day hookie. Nooner or sooner. ))
We had: bloody mary's, the burger is excellant, salmon dip is very tasty, the fried pickles are spears & lightly breaded. Moving on to the spicy margarita & ranch water.
The patio seating in the afternoon is shaded by the building.
I'll be back.“

“Have long known of their products but this was my first time to their location. I wasn't disappointed. They have a large menu of beverages, many made on site. Their staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Plenty of to go and souvenir items. Outdoor seating, occasional food trucks, and some snacks available inside. They even have theme nights for comedy or karaoke. Will definitely go again.“

“Go for brunch, get a coffee, some food, relax, browse the internet, play board games, etc. Plenty of variety. A quirky , fun, experimental, artistic vibe atmosphere, unique for a Cafe/Brewery“

“Another stop of the journey to find the best Americano in metro Detroit. The Bev was wonderful! I ordered an Americano with a splash of oat milk. The service was phenomenal, with such nice and friendly baristas. The Americano itself was very good, mild and smooth in flavor. The atmosphere of the shop is calm and welcoming. Their lattes look so good and the baked goods also look super amazing. I can't wait to come back.“

“Food and beer is unrivaled in Southeast Michigan. The hangover burger is the best burger in probably the state of Michigan. The northern coast is probably the best beer in the state of Michigan. Aaron is an amazing bartender and all the way staff and cooks are phenomenal of their jobs. By far my favorite place to eat in Royal Oak.“

“My father and I went in today for the 5 year celebration and our server Tajma was amazing. She knew the beers like the back of her hand and we had a great conversation about local breweries and beers we are huge fans of! Keep up the great work. Also the wings were phenomenal honey sirracha delicious, and the platter had so much amazing stuff we had to take a lot home! We will be back.“

“My daughter and I had so much fun with our waitress Avery, she was funny, attentive and just cute as a button. I’m pretty sure we adopted her.
The charcuterie was just meh
but the Margherita pizza and Jambalaya was outstanding!
We tried a flight which was super fun with their Summer selections and the black Cherry Moscow Mule was delish.
They have to go growlers for your favorite beer selections and 6 packs as well.
Try the beer cheese soup and clam chowder!
We will for sure be back.“

“Our family did Taco Tuesday and it was great. Wonderful service by Jeff the bartender and all seven of us were very pleased. Tried 4 of the taco choices and all were very tasty! Will be back for sure.“
