Lolo ❤💙💚💛💜February 14, 2016Chocolate Decadent was delish, and my fav! They have a backroom with cornhole set up, and they have lots of board games too. Nice venue, and just a quick stroll off the RiverWalk.

Josh MartinDecember 22, 2018For a brewery, I was super disappointed in beer selection. I thought the food (chicken/waffles, prime rib sandwich, fries, pretzels) were wonderful, though. Great service.UpvoteDownvote
VisitDetroitJune 5, 2012In the corner of the brewing warehouse is a small bar and selection of taps, including their famous Dirty Blonde, among others — great for a full immersion in Michigan brewing culture.Upvote7Downvote

Paul RobertsSeptember 19, 2013Was a bit underwhelmed. Java Stout was just kind of there; had better similar beers elsewhere. Wouldn't say don't go but don't go out of your way.UpvoteDownvote
Brewery and brewery bar still open!Upvote3Downvote
Hailey JunodApril 24, 2014Bartender was super rude and unfriendly. Just buy the beer in stores and forego this.UpvoteDownvote
