“Food was good and service was acceptable (nothing special) but you had a group of 5 guys leave your restaurant last night somewhat bewildered after your waitress Katarina made it quite clear she was not happy with the 20% tip we gave her. Apparently, our stay of about 3 hours eating and drinking was excessive. We may not be back.“

“What a wonderful place in Detroit! Ample street parking, live music all afternoon and evening outside on a Saturday. Thank you Snacktime for your groovy dance and chill vinyl mix! I shared a delicious burger with my friend and there are tons of picnic tables with an outdoor bar. Thank you for your nice selection of NA beers! Very friendly staff, bought some cool local art from vendors. People were dancing, playing Jenga and Cornhole and mingling away. So nice to find a place where a single person can go hang out, meet a bunch of cool people, eat, drink and be outside on a beautiful day! Thank you Woodbridge Pub for supporting the local community and offering a fun place to gather! I’ll definitely be back 😃“

“We held a 50th birthday party for our daughter in the private room last Saturday evening. The service and the food was extraordinary. We had 50 attendees that included old and not so old. The banquet items were outstanding and the chef did a marvelous job of preparation and presentation. Passed appetizers were a hit with everyone. (I particularly liked the crab cakes) Sheila, Yen, Rex, and Kat provided the beverage service and passed the appetizers and drink orders with smiles and efficiency. While we didn't see much of the kitchen staff, Gil, Emeka, Chaona, and Aaron provided culinary treats that had all the attendees marveling at the variety and taste. And most helpful were Joanna and Paul, the proprietors. Thank you Common Pub for a most memorable evening and event!“

Eastern Market Brewing Co. Brewery • $
2515 Riopelle St, Detroit - 11.24 miles

“If you’re anywhere near Detroit—or, honestly, even across the border in Canada (yes, you Windsor folks!)—do yourself a favor and make your way to Eastern Market Brewing Company. Nestled right in the heart of the historic Eastern Market district, just a stone’s throw from the Detroit River and a hop across the Ambassador Bridge from Canada, this place is an absolute gem that radiates Midwestern soul.

I visited with my lovely wife Melanie and my always-up-for-a-good-time in-laws, and let me tell you, from the moment we stepped into the brewery, we were greeted with that unmistakable Midwestern charm. The staff? Friendly like they’ve known you for years. The patrons? Just as welcoming. We shared laughs, recommendations, and even some bench space.

Speaking of sharing — we sat outside and ended up sharing a table with a delightful local couple and their young kid, who was full of energy and joy, bouncing up and down on the bench like a little piston engine. You’d think that would be distracting, but honestly, it added to the warmth and life of the experience. It was like being folded into a living postcard of Detroit hospitality.

Now, I never tip. Like, ever. But the service here? So exceptional, so genuinely warm and attentive, that I found myself enthusiastically leaving an 18% tip. That might not sound like much to some, but for me? That’s basically a standing ovation.

Let’s talk about the restrooms. And believe me, we need to talk about the restrooms. Spotless. Gleaming. Like the kind of clean you see in sci-fi movies where robots do all the cleaning. I went in twice and came back both times feeling like I had just walked through a showroom for premium tiles and top-tier janitorial diligence. Even my mother-in-law commented on it—and she never talks about restrooms.

Now to the beer—oh yes, the beer. We sampled a beautiful flight that included:

🍺 Jumbo Juice Hazy IPA – Bursting with tropical citrus and a velvety mouthfeel, this beer is like a Saturday at the lake house: relaxed, bright, and unapologetically satisfying.
🍺 313 IPA – Crisp, balanced, and bold, just like Detroit itself. This one is the IPA equivalent of a Michigan tailgate party: hearty, dependable, and unforgettable.
🍺 Pineapple Market Day (Session IPA) – Light, fruity, and full of zing—imagine the refreshing joy of biting into a perfectly chilled slice of watermelon at a Midwest county fair. Yes, that good.

We were surrounded by gorgeous murals painted on the buildings nearby—massive, colorful expressions of Detroit’s creative pulse. Every wall tells a story, and together they give the whole neighborhood the feeling of a living art gallery.

And before I forget—because this deserves its own paragraph—the shawarma. Oh. My. Goodness. We snagged it just around the corner in the Eastern Market and devoured it like we hadn’t eaten in days. Juicy, flavorful, with garlic sauce that dreams are made of. The wrap was perfectly crisp on the outside, tender on the inside—like the city of Detroit itself: tough where it counts, but full of heart.

So yes—Eastern Market Brewing Company delivered everything we hoped for and more. Fantastic beer, charming locals, unbeatable vibes, and restrooms that deserve their own Yelp page. I’d cross two borders for another visit.

Five stars aren’t enough. This place is a treasure.“

“The place was awesome great burgers and extremely great prices. The wait staff was great me and my wife popped in for a beer and some food. We were greeted instantly when we walked in And we had drinks in front of us in about 2 minutes The food was awesome The burgers range from about 8 bucks to 12 bucks depending on what you order. The fries were like five bucks for a whole basket. They also have outdoor seating with a nice patio in downtown Utica which is great. Right down the street from Jimmy John's field. You could definitely sit out on the patio and watch the fireworks when the field is doing them. Could definitely bring children here. Not so much wheelchair friendly as there are a couple steps inside. Although I'm sure you can manage somehow. There are plenty of places to park around the back there's a big lot that you can park in down the road or you can get lucky and get a spot in downtown Utica. The service was fantastic The burgers were cooked to perfection and drinks were ice cold what more could you ask for. I'm definitely recommending this place and we will definitely be back You can't beat it.

Parking: Big lot to park in down the road or you can get lucky find a spot behind shamrocks or park right on downtown Utica Street

Kid-friendliness: Could definitely bring your children here they got burgers awesome fries

Wheelchair accessibility: A little difficult to navigate with a wheelchair but I'm sure you can manage.“

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.“

“On Set. 19, I brought my 96-yr-old mom here for a drink and hors d'oeuvres. I had sent a note on the online reservation form that we would appreciate a quiet table. The receptionist had knowledge of the request without my saying anything, and immediately showed me three locations she thought would suit. I wish I had gotten her name, for management to commend her. (We arrived at 5:15, which should help you know to whom I refer.) We sat in a booth, and our server, Usama, made our nearly 3-hr (!) visit truly joyful and perfect! Again, management - please take note. We agreed that he was the best waiter either of us have ever had - attentive, fun and funny, and going the extra mile in tailoring our drinks to our (sweet-tooth!) tastes, and making us feel welcome and special. This was likely my mom's final "fancy" outing, and I am so grateful to Usama for making it perfect. Kudos also to the chefs. Our 3 dishes were superb - beef tips, shrimp, hummus.“

The meals this year included 2 turkey dinners with all the trimmings and shrimp scampi. The rice was cold and tastless, which is why the food was rated a 4 instead of a 5. Our waiter was wonderful.“
