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.“

“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“

“I’ve had a great experience with B. Nektar. I recently stopped in for replacement caps for the growlers I use to store water, and they have always been very accommodating.

I prefer using glass containers, and their growlers work really well for me because they let me store a larger volume than a typical bottle while still keeping everything in glass. The caps do wear out over time, and I really appreciate that B. Nektar has been willing to replace them for me free of charge when needed.

It may seem like a small thing, but that kind of customer service makes a big difference. They’ve always been helpful, easy to work with, and willing to take care of something that keeps me coming back. I’m very thankful for the way they’ve treated me and would absolutely recommend them. Stupid Man Suit is my go to. Love to see them still making it.“

“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!“

“Fantastic people and beer, great atmosphere. Go get you some!“

“We stopped into Six Spoke Brewing Company on a Sunday a few weeks ago, literally just before closing, while driving around Corktown looking for a new brewery to check out. It ended up being one of those unexpected finds that I'm really glad we made time for.

The brewery itself is clean, open, and has a great atmosphere. It wasn't overly crowded, which made it easy to relax and chat with the bartender.

They don't have an overwhelming number of beers on tap, but honestly, they don't need to. Every beer we tried was exceptionally well-crafted. Each one had its own distinct character, was balanced, and simply tasted great. I'd rather have a smaller lineup of excellent beers than a huge menu of average ones, and Six Spoke absolutely delivers on quality.

One thing I thought was really cool was that they pour directly from the holding tanks instead of traditional tap handles. We also grabbed some beer to go, and they canned it fresh for us right there on the spot, which was a nice touch.

The bartender was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about craft beer. We ended up talking about breweries around Detroit, and he had some great recommendations and insights into the local beer scene.

Overall, this was a fantastic first visit. Great beer, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be making the trip back again.“

“Highly recommend the Dark Heathen Triple Bock . Very well made delicious beer.“

“great beers, great staff, all in all a wonderful time!“

“Fantastic beer coming out of the east side of the state! Watch out west side breweries. Great beer selection wirh brews that a consistent and varied. The IPAs are tasty and hoppy while the porters are robust and warming in the cooler months. Big, big fan of Elephant Juice and Sweater Weather - this combination covers my whole year. The brewery is a nice space, funky and welcoming. The staff are helpful and knowledgeable, can't go wrong here.“

“Brewery Faisan is a pretty cool place. It’s located in a renovated industrial type of building, and the space across the street is all green space now. It’s like a little island in a somewhat worn down area. The interior is very comfortable with plenty of tables and a bar, and the atmosphere is relaxed with lots of light wood tones. There is some outdoor seating too, but the inside sounded better on my visit. Their beer selection had something for all palates, and I tried a little bit of their tripel and their Italian pils. Both were good and had no off flavors, so I was happy with the beer. I bought several cans to go, and I was thrilled to find out you can buy singles, so it’s easy to sample a lot. The King Eider Belgian dubbel was my favorite so far, and it’s a very drinkable version of that style. You should definitely give this brewery a try if you’re able to.“

“we have been stopping in for drinks for a while now before we go to concerts and the theater.. we love your bartender, we love our drinks and the pizza to boot! we love sitting at the back of the bar and sometimes on the couch playing a few games!“

“Great pizza and great beer!“

“Enjoyed a beer flight to get acquainted with their selection and style. Normally I don't gravitate towards lagers but their Fly Life was something special. Great staff, Monique was friendly and knowledgeable. Huge patio - worth a visit if youre in Corktown“

“Cute room. Nice warm atmosphere! Pretty good beer. We went after the boat races...it was a little busy, but, that may be because some of their staff were participating in the boat races. The beer line was out the front door when we got there. However, the lady behind the counter was a machine, she was making it move pretty quickly. We tried the pilsner, the lager, the doppelbach, and the saison. All were very good. No food offered here, But, you're welcome to bring your own in. Due to the festival, one guy was offering popup food out front that smelled good...but he was out of bread for his sandwich when we investigated. I'll go back on a non festival day to get a better barometer on this place...but, all & all, we enjoyed our stop on our Hamtown pub crawl.“

“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 came to Detriot to see the NCAA D1 National wrestling tournament. We stopped in and had a great time. The beer, food, and environment were wonderful and we give them 5 stars. Look forward to coming back. Mechanicsburg PA folks“

“When I am at Sundried Tomato Bistro my choice of beer on tap is from Walkerville Brewery. As good as any craft beer I have ever tasted. #supportlocal ... Randy Russon, Hockey News Windsor.“

“It is a very nice place to have a few beers and nice people 😉“

“Not only is the food great, but the service is amazing! Jess always goes above and beyond to make sure im always happy! I recommend the 1529 IPA as well! Happy hour is awesome!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“On my visit back to the ROB, I was looking forward to my Go To dish of Beef Stroganoff, only to find out it's no longer on the menu. What a bumper. So instead, I had the Shepard's Pie which was very delicious. Our server was Erin M. She did an excellent job of watching over and serving our needs as required. I request that she be acknowledged by higher authority for a job well done. Today's visit to the ROB was again a pleasant experience. Bring back the Beef Stroganoff and you will probably see me more. I need my Stroggy Fix. :)“

“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.“

“The brewery has gone through a tough few years in selling from locally owned to Coors owned. Then a Canadian cannabis company and back to local. The beer is pure Detroit. Great Hazy IPAs 2 of them and a variety of classics including Dirty Blonde. Worth a stop. Happy hour 3:13-6:23 on weekdays.“

“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.“
