19 Best Craft Breweries near Windsor

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

“What a pleasure to shop here.Best selection around and the staff are so helpful.“

“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.“

“The Coffee infused Porter, with beans from Campoñeros Coffee is great! Campoñeros just opened a coffee place in Amherstburg. It would be great to have one of their delicious empanadas AND a SBC Coffee Porter there. Maybe one day!“

“Came for lunch to try their pizzas, decided to try the Sicilian and the Pear with Prosciutto and both were delicious! The Pear and Prosciutto had a tasty sweetness and was a really good balance of flavour. Also a great place to come for a beer. Would happily come back here anytime!“

“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.“

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

“Such a great vibe! We did a casual wedding welcome party here and can’t say enough good things about how wonderful this space is, how kind and accommodating the team was, and much everybody really enjoyed the beer (and wine)! This is a fantastic and classic Detroit spot and now one of our favorite breweries around!“

“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“

“Great pizza and great beer!“

“Enthusiasms and labors of love do not always, alas, translate to success. Fortunately, in the case of Sameday, it does! There are no bad beers here. There aren't even any mediocre, fill-in-the-menu beers. I'm not a big lagers fan, but the Someday lagers are well worth the pint, as are the Czech style pilsner. And then there are the IPA's, which are fantastic; and the stouts, a pleasant oatmeal stout or a no holds barred Midnight. The meads are just as excellent. (Except for the Sunday Afternoon, which you don't want to try, because that will leave more for me. Seriously. Try the April First.) No food. No distractions. Just beer (and mead) done very excellently well.“

“What a wonderful team, food, beer, cider! We are just so lucky to have had our daughters after wedding party here at Batch. Kimberly was a pleasure to work with during the planning and day of the event.
Stephen came to meet us and was essential in making sure we had “Polish, double smoked kielbasa “ for the event. It should be on the menu full time! Everything was delicious and fresh.
The Alabama white pulled chicken, pulled pork, pretzels, smoked meats charcuterie board, fresh fruit, double smoked Kielbasa ( so darn delicious) and the Kale Cesar salad.. all finished off by our Family and guests. Everyone loved the beer selection, the food and the vibe at Batch!
We have always been supporters of Batch Brewery, now we feel like they are part of the Family.
As always with Batch Brewery, just a wonderful , delicious experience! Thank you all for that.“

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

“Great comradery, easy pace, post ride socializing at the brewery.“

“Visiting town for the game and decided to stop by the Detroit beer company with a group of my friends. They were very accommodating for our big group. Our server was Sherry and I want to brag on her because her smile , attentiveness and personality blew us away. We let her decide our cocktails and food and we all left full , satisfied and definitely ready to visit again tomorrow. Stop by and check out this brewery“

“We recently reserved the rooftop for a wedding rehearsal dinner and everything was better than we expected. The communication to plan everything was great, and the food options were able to accommodate everyone. We had a private bartender who was very friendly and knowledgeable, as well as a variety of food that was well received. We knew this was a fun, casual place, but they really stepped it up for our event. If you're on the fence about hosting an event here, we would definitely recommend it.“

“Incredible place to have some beers and good food. Parking on Kercheval is paid, but don’t put coins in the meter, you have to use a website/app to pay for parking. If you park on a side street it’s free. The building is large and tons of space for big groups either outdoor or indoor. TV’s to watch sports. Haven’t had a bad beer here yet. One of the best parts we stumbled on was the Happy Hour from 3:13-6:16 M-F which gets you $3.13 beer and $6.16 food. You would think it is a small portion since it’s on happy hour but you would be wrong. This will be a place we return to often.“

“BEST FOOD Ever for Downriver's Best Brewery. Outstanding selection of Brews!! Ate there constantly since they opened in Nov 2019. Food is DEEEEELICIOUS! 3 Awesome Brewers/Owners, 5 Outstanding Waitresses, and 2 Superb Cooks. Their constant smiles are catchy for all to view!! Just a wonderful & comfortable place to visit and relax at. And you can play Domino’s there too! Always Enjoy.“

“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.“
