I had dinner here tonight with BeerBaron617. It’s right down the street from me, but I haven’t really been here all too often..In fact, maybe only five times. Inside, the restaurant looks nice and has a great atmosphere. We had a great waitress, very friendly and helpful. (although, I have been here and the service was terrible). Our beers were quite tasty. I had fish and chips - pretty hard to screw up, but it was tasty none the less. Good overall this time.

Had dinner here tonight. Very casual atmosphere, and nice scenery. The service was great, and the beer was better than average, I had the IPA. The food was a huge surprise, considering the venue. I had the pesto gnocchi, served with a great cheesy garlic bread that was to-die-for when dipped in the extra saucy pasta. My friend(MereLikesBeer) had the Red Ale, and the fish and chips, which she said was just average. I thought it was great though. Cheers!

$5 Growlers Tuesday is the best thing going for them. Their IPA is decent, but the other beers I’ve had here are too thin and lack a lot of taste. The food is decent pub grub, mostly fired plates. The pizza is your best bet. Stick to some zaz and the IPA and youll have a great time.

Small beer selection, and the seasonal brews run out fast. Not much of a food selection either. Too many yuppies think they’re still young and hip and bring their little kids to this brewery. IT’S A BREWERY!!! Your kids don’t want to be there.

I have been here several times mainly for the food. the beer is about average, in my opinion brewed for the masses, they only have a few beers that a beer geek would truly like. The place is loud , but they do have a outdoor area that is a little quieter. service has always been good so I will be going back

My old home... One of the better local hangouts in Royal Oak. Off the main drag and away from the froo froo trendy bars, ROB offers what a true beer drinker is looking for- Good Beer, Quality Atmosphere, and Pub Food to die for. Two words- BREWERS BREAD. If that doesn’t make you swag back a pint and order another round, then you just don’t belong. Always a good idea to try their special brew of the month and I dont know if they still do a Firken night, but its definately not worth missing.

Restaurant-pub. At least this one doesn’t look and feel like a sports bar. Family-friendly during the day (that’s when I visited) and given its nice layout I can hardly imagine this being a party place at night. Meal and beer is what it is all about. Big fermenters behind the bar with the name of the current beers on each of them. Nice touch. Food menu goes a bit beyond the typical burger/pizza. They have quite a few pasta dishes and other goodies. But mostly everything on the $10 range so this is not a fancy place to eat. Unless they have a different menu at night. My Grilled Chicken Quesadilla was excellent. Seven beers on tap when I was there. I went with a pint of each of the two most interesting to me (their IPA and a new Belgian Strong called Suicide Blonde) and I was very happy with both of them. Their beers seem to be quite popular with the locals cause during the two hours I was there I saw many people coming in and out to get their growlers filled. I don’t blame them, this make solid beer. I recommend visiting this place for the food and the solid beers early and then go to Black Lotus not too far away for a more pub-like night.

Was here in early October, cozy wooden bar. Seemed more of a sports bar combined with a brew pub. Selection was solid, 5 of their beers on at the time. I got the sampler, The food was pretty good, standard pub fare really. Service was good, nice waitress, either a manager or brewer stopped by to see how we were liking the beers. It was a nice stop.

Went here in late April...not a bad place. It seemed to be the local sports hangout. The jerk chicken sandwich really hit the spot. The beer was not very good however.

Decent brew pub. Very good food. You must try the brewers bread! Thier beers are decent, but nothing amazing. Staff is somewhat helpful, but sometimes a little busy which means you might not always get the best service. They know a little bit about thier beers, but serve everything in frozen cold glasses. The patio in the back is a nice place to hang out on a warm summer day.
