23 Best Craft Breweries near 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.“

“On Oct. 19, I ordered the Shoreline Shrimp & Scampi
Plump sea scallops & tender jumbo shrimp simmered in a luscious lemon & caper cream w/ grape tomatoes. Served w/ crispy red skin potatoes, fresh vegetables and grilled garlicky toast rounds.

I ordered this entree with linguini noodles. The shrimp and scallops were great!

The cream was bland and there was no luscious lemon, caper cream. The cream was loose and I did not taste any lemon or capers (almost nonexistent and tasteless) which generally adds a nice flavor to food. Also, I did not get any grilled garlicky toast rounds.

I have ordered this entree several times before and it was DELICIOUS. I even encouraged my friend to order it and she was disappointed as well.

I will return to Lilly's because overall the food is really good. I just hope the next time I order this entree, the flavor truly fits the description and I get my garlicky toast rounds. P.S. Seth our waiter was GREAT!!!!“

“Revamped menu with some of the old hits, and the staff does a great job.

A few years ago - I remember this place being ok pub food that was always a sure-fire spot to have open tables on weekend nights.

Now this place is poppin’ and once you sit down, you’ll understand why.

Kid-friendliness: place is casual with low tops and wood chairs - great for kids

Wheelchair accessibility: lots of low tops across the dining floor, ramp in the back leads up to the bathrooms and the outdoor patio area out back“

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

“The lavender beer was enjoyable, with a light, refreshing taste perfect for those who prefer milder drinks. I loved the subtle lavender flavor, which added a unique twist without being overpowering. Unfortunately, the $5 pretzel was a bit disappointing. It was on the harder and bland side even with the seasoning and only came with a spicy mustard, with no option for cheese, which would have been a nice addition. Not worth the price. The atmosphere, however, was warm and inviting, with plenty of board games to enjoy - perfect for a relaxed outing.“

“Still my favorite brewery in all of S.E. Michigan. While I’ve met various “beer-tenders” here (and in my 5 years in Michigan) I have to say that this place stocks consistent talent. Always personable. Very knowledgeable. Hats off to Frankie and Mark.“

“Great pizza and great beer!“

“Top-notch beers, friendly staff and incredible pizza. The outdoor patio is great for our dog!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“We recently had a road rally and this was one of our stops. The owner is awesome and didn't mind the traffic. We had coffees and snacks while there and have stopped in for ice cream and shakes in the past. There are tons of beer selections and cozy seating to hang out.“

“This place is one of a kind amazing! We arranged a tour of the production facility for my husband’s birthday and could not have been more pleased. The owner was so friendly and welcoming! Mead and cider were excellent. Can’t rave enough about this place! Wait staff do not take tips. They donate any tip money to charity because they said the owners “take great care of their employees!” WOW! You will not be disappointed- get there!“

“The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with a great blend of rustic charm and modern vibes. The staff were super friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed.

The food was absolutely fantastic! We tried a couple of their signature pizzas, and they were bursting with flavor—perfectly crisp crust with fresh, unique toppings. Their beers were equally impressive, especially their artisan sour ales. You can really taste the care and craftsmanship that goes into every brew.“

“Keith J is extremely professional and very personable. Highly recommend requesting him for your server!“
