“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.“

“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 just had dinner here before going across the street to a concert. The food was excellent! It came out quickly and our server, Kyra, was so friendly, supper attentive and very welcoming! We will be back!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“We had lunch there today and Brittany was our server. She was so amazing!! I'm gluten free and she went above and beyond to be sure that not only I had an amazing meal, but also bent over backwards for my wife!!! Our next time there, we will be asking for Brittany!!!“

“Sure I’m biased as a lifetime mug club member, but don’t sleep on Lily’s!!! From the always available standards to the seasonal releases, everything is always on point and to style. Favorites include the pils, dortmunder, California common and marzen. Happy hour is also great — I’m not a seafood person but have plenty of other great options. Prost! 🍻“

“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.“

“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.“
