8 Best Brewpubs near Birmingham

“Always consistently good beer, food, and service. We stop in whenever we're in town.“

“From beginning to end, it was literally one of my best experiences! Come and see Emily and she will take you on a magical tour of some of the most incredible Korean food I’ve ever experienced, and the chicken is out of this world! Do not deny yourself displeasure in this life“

“The staff is awesome! loved the beer and the Tuesday special pork tacos!“

“My wife and I go here a couple of times a week, every Tuesday for sure for Taco Tuesday. They always have a unique special taco that is delicious (it was a take on a Big Mac this week). While primarily a brewery, we're whisky drinkers and they even have specials on cocktails during happy hour. All the food and drinks are fabulous and consistently cooked well, but the draw for us are the staff! Everyone there are always super friendly, always remember us, most have been there for years (or decades in some cases!), and we always feel like Norm walking in in Cheers. Last thing I'll mention is the 432 TV's (ok maybe not that many). If you enjoy sports, they always have games on and no matter where you sit you'll catch the action.“

“I went there for a Porsche Club event, very nice atmosphere good waitstaff. We had a buffet dinner. Consisting of salmon,pasta,roast beef,baked chicken breast,potatoes,salad. The food was good they have a variety of homemade craft beers and a full bar. They have a live band on certain nights and they have a comedy night. I highly recommend this business.“

“We recently visited Griffin Claw Clubhouse in Rochester Hills and had an excellent experience, thanks in large part to our server and bartender, Mae.

From the moment we sat down, Mae made us feel welcome. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and upbeat, guiding us through the menu with helpful suggestions and spot-on recommendations. Her understanding of the beer and food options stood out and really enhanced our evening.

We ordered the Pulled Pork Nachos, which were fantastic, and tried a mix of drinks including the Peach Geist, the Berserker, and the Screamin’ Pumpkin. Mae described them perfectly, and each one lived up to her recommendation.

Throughout our visit, Mae was consistently friendly, attentive, and proactive, making sure our glasses were never empty and that we had everything we needed, often before we even had to ask. She struck the perfect balance of being present without ever making us feel rushed.

What impressed us most was Mae’s positive attitude and genuine warmth. She wasn’t just doing her job; she created an experience that felt personal and memorable.

We left with a smile on our faces and will definitely be back. Mae truly elevated our night, and we’re grateful for her outstanding service.“

“This weekend we visited Detroit Fleat to check out their brunch, and I have to say it’s one of the most family-friendly and pet-friendly restaurants we’ve been to all summer. The restaurant has ample space for strollers and high chairs. The outdoor patio and kid play area are a huge plus — it allowed us to relax and enjoy our meal while our daughter had fun.

Our server, Marissa, was excellent — a true 10/10. Her patience, service, and attention to detail made the experience even better.

For food, we ordered the Breakfast Burrito, Breakfast Nachos, Pancakes, and Mac and Cheese for our daughter. Everything was delicious — we’d give it all a 10/10, except the pancakes, which we’d rate a 7/10.

The ambiance was relaxed and laid-back, perfect for a weekend brunch. One small area for improvement is the host stand — when we first walked in, there was no greeter, and we only got seated after walking inside and being directed by staff behind the bar.

Overall, we loved the experience and especially the patio. We’ll definitely be back soon to enjoy more time outside with both family and friends.“

“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.“
