Enjoyed the service at the bar. Nice happy hour and food specials. Very good pizza. Charcuterie was good too. It's dark inside but they have an outdoor area with corn hole. Overall, the place is dingy. A deep cleaning would help. read more

Long time feels like first time. Bathroom: *** (clean) Quality: *** Quantity: **** Presentation: **** (well platted) Service: * Price: $$$ (Affordable vs. Quality) Ambiance: (Loud/Casual/Busy) Attitude: (awkward/"looking busy") Outside: yes Brunch: yes / Sunday (11-3p) Happy Hour (Specials): food, drink specials Thursday- Sunday (630p - 9p) Overall: I've been coming here for nearly 7 years. Through all the changes the one thing that sticks out the most is service. I think I stayed 3 1/2 hours and most of the time is waiting on service. From completely missed items ordered not arriving after 30 mins of waiting to not being attended on after staff arguing with staff about being on their phones. It's an absolute disaster. I'm beginning to think happy hour is just compensation for my missed ordered food and lack of service, but then again you're not even utilizing happy hour because no one came for the two hours. Very disappointing to see it this way and honestly even worse to think management doesn't initiate a change. It's even more awkward to sit in a setting where most of others around you feel the same but, there's no one to tell. Maybe it'll change maybe batch becomes the new Atwater, we'll see. read more

I've been to this Brewery many moons ago and am happy to say that it still has the cool vibe and atmosphere that it had years ago. The service was still very friendly and the beer is good too. I didn't partake in any of the menu items so I can't speak to the food but it looked like they were somewhat vegan friendly and had a few options. So, in a nutshell if you're looking for a place where you can hang out and enjoy a few pints with friends this could be the spot for you. I will say though that it can get a little bit loud but that's part of the hopping pub experience. read more

Stopped in for a quick beer on the way back home from the Eastern Market. This brewery is on Joseph Campau near the now closed Rattlesnake Club on the Detroit river. The seating is mostly high tops or the bar and everything was clean and nicely done with a small arcade and the brewing and canning area in back. We sat at the bar and our order was filled in short order. I had a Purple Gang Pilsner and it was good, nice and crisp. Stop in and grab a beer, they have food too and sell the canned beer right there. read more

The place is pretty empty. Four or five tables. Two people behind the bar no one is paying any attention to us at all. We had to waive them down to get our drinks. And we can't get their attention to get our bill. read more

Atwater Brewery - Post race vibe - Breweries Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Brewery across from the Riverwalk. Physically large with terrible parking options (we got a ticket.) Lots of merch. It was dead but it was also a Monday afternoon, but it was a holiday weekend. My husband tried a few of the beers and it was OK. It was a squished in stop but I assume on a nice day in the summer this us a great stop either before or after the Riverwalk. read more

We happened to visit the following establishment on one of Michigan's more hot days. In fact it was over 100° even with the scorching heat to staff was incredible friendly and accommodating as we waited for our order they offered us additional refills to help beat the heat. My only con about this establishment is the lack of vegan options. They had a hummus platter, but I wish there was more variety. Overall, the staff was amazing. There was ample seating and everything went smoothly. There's also some street parking nearby. read more

I loved how large the venue was. Our server was super nice and patient with us as we decided what we wanted. I got one of the cherry porters and it was very good!! We also got an order of the poutine fries, and I was sad when we ate them all! I wish this place was closer to us so we could go again soon (we live in NC)! read more

I'm giving out most recent visit 3 stars and trust me, that's very generous. But they are one of the coolest, most chill breweries in Detroit so I'll be generous. We visited on a Saturday, early afternoon, and the place was pretty dead. IDK if you always have to order food and drinks at the bar, or if it was the time of day or if it was just because they were short staffed (because they were). The guys got beers, no complaints. The girls got cocktails and the bar tender had to read the recipe cards to make them. I mean, everyone has to start somewhere but it did throw me a bit. The drinks were ok, nothing special or great. We wanted an app and thought the pretzel sounded good, until we learned they had burmt the beer cheese and didn't have enough ingredients to make another batch until after their next delivery some time later that day. We were trying to figure out what else to order when a customer from another table got up and went into the kitchen to see where his food was. Yikes!! We decided to leave and hit up another brewery for some grub. Would I go back? I'm not sure. There's a lot of cool breweries in Detroit. I hope it was just a bad day and not the new norm. read more

Super busy here before a concert at the Aretha Franklin Amphitheatre. Kitchen was slammed so they stopped taking food orders for a while. Thankfully we got ours in before the cutoff or I'd have left. Burger was nothing special but nothing wrong with it. I appreciated the large portion of chips. Pretzel bites were fine, didn't blow me away. Was shocked to see zero non alcoholic items on the menu. No hop water, mocktails, or sodas advertised. I ended up ordering a lemonade cocktail without liquor. Same difference I guess but I'd rather have something with some intention behind it. read more

Excellent service from Zack! He made wonderful suggestions. I really enjoyed their signature cider he recommended. It was very dry and crisp. He also gave me a shot of orange juice in case I wanted to turn it into a mimosa experience. I'm so glad I did because It was way better than champagne. Best mimosa I've ever had! The southern chicken sandwich was delicious! Spicy and flavorful. The fries were perfection! Seasoned well and crispy. Really nice ambiance. Very spacious and clean. Fun decor. High top and low top tables. Full bar. TVs at the bar, showing sports. I definitely want to return! read more

This place was ok we sat outside I ordered a Caesar salad which I give a 2 And a Peach mule. My son ordered a pub burger and fries with. Lemonade they toast the bun too hard so my son did not like . They do not have a kid menu at all.' The best part of this place was sitting outside in the sun. I will try again and recommend everyone give at least one stop in to see what you think . The service was slow u must order at bar inside if sitting outside and seemed to only have one server doing everything but two bartenders. read more

After a Michigan Central Station tour, I stopped by for a late lunch on Saturday. You seat yourself, and the staff will come to your table. I had the pulled chicken sandwich with onion rings for my entree. The food came out extremely fast but was mid. I enjoyed a shandy and a VJP. Unfortunately, their flagship VJP nitro was out. High/low/bar seating. Biergarten. Moderately clean. Good service. Pricy food and Atwater branded merchandise. Noisy. WiFi but no password. Dirt lot parking or limited paid street parking. I would probably return, but just for drinks. read more

I was not expecting much from this establishment. We're talking airport food after all. In my many years of traveling i have learned not to expect much. I was very happily surprised, actually blown away by the quality of the food. I ordered the Cheese burger, it was absolutely fantastic! It was fresh and hot dripping with cheese and bacon and onion jam. It was cooked perfectly to order. I couldn't wait to take the first bite and then couldn't put it down. The accompanying frys were sensational as well. Im quite sad I will likely not find myself neat Atwaters again. Besides the food the staff working at Atwaters was great as well the hostess greeted me with a smile and made me feel welcome. My waitress was cheerful and went out of her way to get me all I needed. I dont have time to further expand my praise or I would. Try this place it was wonderful! Wes read more

Stopped in with the family as we were going to fire and ice festival and we wanted some food and beers before. I always liked their beer as dirty blond was one of my favorites, but I tried several others in a flight and that was cool. We all ordered food and it was really good actually, as I had the pesto chicken sandwich and we had margarita pizza too. Good beer and good food especially for a brewery. My only knock would be service, it took a long time to get my order and when we wanted to leave it took forever to get our bill. There is no one to seat you, you have to find your table when you get there. Would come back for beers for sure. read more

Really enjoyed my time here with my family on a Friday in Detroit. I always love local breweries and brew hopping and I appreciated the ton of flavors of beer they had . The only con of this place was that if you wanted to sit upstairs on their rooftop patio, you had to order from upstairs, but they only had a limited selection of the beers and none of the ones we wanted. We went downtstairs to order the beers for my parents and us and while my parents sat there, they made them purchase water. A little 8oz bottle for a dollar a piece. I get it, she needs to make money up there as the bartender too, but why not have more flavors upstairs? It was a nice evening of course we would rather sit outside than in the dark brewery downstairs. After that though, we enjoyed our drinks and took some pictures by the cool Detroit sign. There was Cornhole upstairs too and it seemed like a very cool atmosphere I would love to go back to. Just wish there were more drink selections upstairs:( read more

I tried an Atwater Brewery beer at a different restaurant in Detroit, and I liked it so much that I wanted to visit the source. So I bopped over to the Rivertown Warehouse District to visit the brewery itself. Long story short: They have great beers here! I wanted to try as many of their beers as I could but didn't want to get blackout drunk, so I opted for a flight of their fruity beers. I'm not typically a fruity beer person, but a flight of them sounded refreshing and fun, so I went with it. I liked all of them! They have several different flight combinations to choose from. Atwater seems like it's mostly a beer place, but they also have great food. We ordered pierogis (because I never see those on a menu, so what the heck), and they were tasty. They were carbs on carbs with dipping sauce, but they paired well with my carby drinks. I had children with me, so I ordered the chicken tenders with fries, and a burger with onion rings. All of the food was really good, but especially the fries: they were crispy yet mealy on the inside. Atwater doesn't have a kids menu, but they do have kid-friendly food (chicken tenders and burgers). This is a brewery, but kids are most definitely welcome! We saw many other people with young children at other tables. They also have high chairs, too. The way to order here is a little different: You pick a table, and menus are at the tables. Then you walk over to the bar and order your food and beverages. Then you sit back at your table and wait for your food, and they bring out you your food. You could also just sit at the bar and order if you're an adult and didn't have children with you (I did). They have little plastic cups and a water dispenser so you can serve yourself water, and games to play at the table while you wait. It's a very chill and pleasant atmosphere for all ages. read more

I love Atwater's beer and was happy to try it out in the place where it all begins! The beer offerings are robust and our bartender was attentive. It was a slow, rainy day in Detroit and a weekday so I don't know how it always is, but it was pretty slow when we were there. I really enjoyed the vibe and loved the atmosphere! The decor was a bit industrial and gritty with high ceilings and wood accents. We didn't eat here so I can't comment on the food, but it's a brewery so we all know we're here for the beer! Speaking of drinks, I noticed Atwater also offers cocktails. While they sounded interesting, I didn't try one so I can't attest to how good they are. read more

Atwater Brewery - Atwater Brewery - Breweries Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

This location come along way since first opening. Being back after a considerable amount of time, I was impressed with the ambiance and look of the brewery. There is rooftop seating, but just like their GPP location, they lack real any protection from the sun, so it's hard to stay up there on a sunny day for an extended period of time without being uncomfortable. Our intention was to eat on the rooftop but it was too hot and so ended up inside of the brewery. The space is large, so ample seating was available, on a Saturday afternoon. I ordered the taco salad. The dressing it came with was pretty good. I think it was a spicy or Chipotle style ranch. If the taco bowl wasn't so greasy, I would have enjoyed it more, otherwise it was average at best, but satiating. The server was prompt with drinks and food. I would come back to try other items on the menu. read more

This place is classy and has outside seating right in the front near the main entrance. Peking is a little tight, there is a parking area,that's kind of fenced in. We went during lunch and it wasn't crowded for 12 noon on a Monday afternoon. The food looked good and tasted great! I'm looking forward to returning for more lunch dates with my staff and associates. Our waiter was very efficient and on top of things! read more

Atwater Brewery - Emtrance - Breweries Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Always a great time at Atwater brewery! This is probably my favorite brewery in Detroit based on the location (close to the riverwalk) and the fact that they have a rooftop in the summertime to hang out on. Went here last week and sat inside at the bar to watch a Wings game, we had a couple of beer flights. My favorite was the Vanilla Java Porter, it has that rich dark taste without being too bitter. For lighter beers, the Detroit city juice hazy IPA is my favorite. This place is a fun spot to be at all year round whether it's the summer (they have a great rooftop) or the winter where you can be cozy inside with great food options, beer, and board games. The service at the bar was great, they made a lot of recommendations to us and were friendly to talk to. I can't speak to the food since we didn't order any, but next time will definitely order some apps. The people next to us ordered one of those large pretzels and it looked amazing. Can't wait to come back! read more

225 SPEAKEASY IS THE BEST POP UP BREWERY!!! They have their Candy Cottage Christmas theme going currently and when I tell you it tops all the other holiday bars, I mean it! I was invited to an influencer evening here and I was blown away. First, the decorations, they went ALL out, it feels like Detroits very own Candy Land! The drinks, not only are they GORGEOUS and aesthetically pleasing but they are DELICIOUS. And don't even get me started on the staff, each and every person that works here is so attentive and kind!! In additional to their holiday drink menu, they also offer a small food menu and you can't go wrong with anything on it! We ordered the grilled cheese & tomato soup, the chicken & waffles and both types of Crepes they offer and everything was 10/10. Stop in before the holiday season is over, you don't want to miss them! read more

Went to Atwater today as I do often during the summer especially after I'm at Belle Isle. Love this location as I live close by and bring my family here every time they're in from NY. However, today I went and ordered the beyond brat which is a vegetarian option. I have ordered and enjoyed that many times for many years here. Unfortunately today I was served a real sausage. I took 1 bite before asking my meat-eating friend to try and she confirmed. The bartender seemed less than empathetic and said they would remake it just to be sure. No offer to comp the meal or drinks or anything. As someone who has been vegetarian for 7 years, being served real meat was upsetting and the lack of accountability from the establishment and having to ask for a discount or a free round as a result was disappointing. Especially considering my friend finished her meal while I sat there with an empty plate while they remade it. They were also 100% out of dirty blonde which is obv a staple. Love this place but disappointed with my experience today. read more

We wanted to go to Andrew's on the Corner, but it was closed. So we tried Atwater, big mistake. We both had a burner, I had the kids burger and it was tasteless. Worse were the fries they were COLD, like no warmth at all. Hubs got the b double decker pub burger, cheese was so cooked it was hard and his fries were COLD Someone had a dog there (we were sitting outside on picnic tables that are rough and warped) and some lady had a dog that barked during our whole dinner. I call & make sure Andrew's open next time. They have great burgers and decent tables & chairs read more

We went to the 225 Spookeasy tonight, which is part of Atwater but has it's own entrance and vibe. It was tastefully decorated for Halloween and had a full, inventive list of Halloween inspired cocktails. I had The Bougieman and partook in a syringe shot and a Blood Bag. The staff was great and quick. Only small compliant is that, I guess they have changed the pizza at Atwater... It used to be a more yeasty, floppy crust, akin to NY Style pizza and with meltier cheese and now it's like an upside Tostinos pizza (crunchy flatbread, no cheese pull melty cheese). Like, you're not going to starve but if you were dreaming of their previous pizza, this will not satisfy that craving. Other than that, a great place to get drinks during spooky season! read more

I have not been to this location in 11 years, and let me tell you, what an amazing transformation they've made. From casually drinking with buddies around the brewing equipment, to a full fledged tap room, restaurant, AND a rooftop bar, this place has come a long way. We popped in for a bite to eat and a couple of drinks. Service was prompt, food was great, and the beers were flowing. I must admit, I was not too big of a fan of their brews many years ago, but now they have some really solid offerings. My biggest gripe is the rooftop patio did not have any sort of shade. We attempted to sit upstairs in early June and even then it was way too hot to sit up there for any amount of time. If they added some umbrellas or maybe those shade sails, this place would be 5/5 Stars read more

Visited Atwater Brewery on a weekday celebrating a coworkers wedding. The atmosphere was just as one would expect, casual and laid-back. The atmosphere is great for hanging out with friends.

I'm not into beer, but was offering there are extensive. read more

Absolutely the worst service i have ever had in my entire life! We got there at 1:15 for lunch at the Grosse Point location; didn't end up leaving until almost 4:30 due to us waiting over an hour and a half for our food to begin to come out. Once we began to be served, one meal was overcooked and cold. Meals came out so sporadically that some of us were completely finished eating while others hadn't been served. Apparently the kitchen manager was nowhere to be found, which says a lot about the employees they hire. Please do yourself a favor and avoid this place like the plague unless you have an entire afternoon to waste to eat a wrap. read more

While over in Detroit for a game, of course, we had to stop into at least ONE brewery. You know, to cool off from the hot weather at the game! We did this by sampling 7 of their beers in a flight. Dirty Blonde, Blueberry Cobbler, Detroit Dry Hard Cider, Better Life Choices, Ice Melter Pepper Ale, Nitro Vanilla Java Porter, Milkshake IPA. They do offer food but we were just there for the beer before heading back to Kalamazoo so you can bring family and enjoy your time while there. The location was a little of a pain to get to but that could also have been because we aren't used to the area, but you can tell the area is building around it and it close to water where you can see Canada. read more

Blueberry IPA was exceptional! Service was prompt. Limited menu as it was Sunday mid afternoon. Friendly and knowledgeable service.

I have wanted to come here for a long time, and finally made it out a few months ago. We stopped by in the middle of the afternoon on the weekend and things were pretty slow. I'm sure things pick up at night. Beer was good and service was great. The food wasn't anything to write home about, but it was tasty. I can see this place being a great time when it's busier. It has a cool atmosphere and lots of space. A great craft brewery that's tucked away, just outside of downtown along the river. An easy Uber or scooter ride away! read more
