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

The fries and pretzels were amazing. The pizza has a nice crisp to it and a spicy red sauce that was delicious!

Absolutely one of the worst experiences of eating out I’ve ever had. The food was unseasoned and bland, the water tasted like chlorine, and the lemonade had bugs and floaters in it. The pizza was the only palatable food there, and even that was extremely underwhelming. My grandpa was yelled at too for setting the food trays in the wrong area, even though there was a stack of trays there, which is extremely unacceptable. My whole family came and not one of them liked their food. We will not be coming to eat here again.

sterile, music is so loud you are unable to hold a conversation, seating is uncomfortable, very limited menu, service is very slow

The breakfast burritos were awesome. A lil pricey at $12-13 each. We both also got fries. Also Very good. I got one beer, the other person got 1 pop. Was the pop $10? I never got a receipt?! It’s also not online. The bill was about $56 so about $66 with tip. For breakfast/ brunch for 2 people this was very expensive. I do respect if that’s what you have to charge. But… it is just too much for Me personally. There are literally NO waitstaff here, BTW, at least when we were there. I also want to say there were only like 4 other tables of people. I think this should tell you the prices are too high, even for Ferndale. I like the food and the beer. But again wow, $55 for 2 burritos, fries, one beer and a pop?! I just went to breakfast another place recently and it was $33, if they had beer at your price it would have been $42. See the disconnect. Sorry I just can’t believe how expensive this was.

Nice beer chill atmosphere.

I think this place went down in quality sadly when they got rid of their menu. They used to have a great menu! They also started using one of their only available outlets for a beer fridge, which I get, but my laptop was dying and I had to stand near an outlet bc there are NO low tables near one. there are a few bar seats near an outlet but there's only 4 seats available within reach. The staff are very nice and they definitely have good beers! Not a good work space, but fine for a chill hang out.

This place is awesome...great rotating tap list I can always find something I like...the brunch/food is good and swiches up every now and then...also has great outdoor seating/tables and a play area inside for kids

#44 (I'm pretty sure) in the Metro Detroit Brewery Discovery Tour. Great location. September 1st, 78° F. The outside seating is expansive, easily exceeding the amount of indoor seating by square footage certainly. And it is calling nearly everyone. On the street side (east) are 8 tables on faux grass with 80% of the area shaded by awnings. The parking lot facing side (north) is shaded to a lesser extent but both are a great place to imbibe or eat on beauteous summer day like this one. Indoors is a bit louder - mostly due to the music played therein (alt-rock) - with many big, picnic-style tables to relax at and enjoy food & brews, as well. They had only 6 beers, 3 "creations", seltzer and wine available. The darkest beer was a just added marzen/oktoberfest. A wheat, a hefeweizen, two sours and some IPAs. Not a very broad offering of styles. After getting my first beer I headed outside. All the tables were occupied save one and it was covered with a previous party's leftover glasses and food trays. But the somewhat comfy, Adirondack style chairs were there so I shoved some of the detritus over and claimed my space. An hour & a half - a refill - later and no one had even ventured from behind the bar to the outside areas. Three hours after arrival and there were now multiple tables with dishes & glassware. Four-plus hours, and having hit the bottom of my 2nd brew, the tables were still full of dishes, glasses & leftover food. Time to go. Apparently, bussing the tables rates really low on the jobs-to-be-done scale. With some breadth to the styles on offer and some cleaning up of no longer occupied tables, this could be a place to revisit. But right now, a firm no.
Updating review Aug 2024: unsure how long ago I originally rated this, but since they now only have pizza as an option for food, I unfortunately will likely never return. The pizza was just OK, and there are a million better pizza places around here. The old menu will be missed.

Everything is great. The beer, the food, the dooped donuts cafe.

Nice patio, good beers. The new food menu kinda sucks tho

Great way to spend a Friday evening. Tons of great beers to try out and the pizza was really amazing. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating, some barcade games to play. Clean bathrooms. Really fun time!
