This place was everything a brewery should be. The bar back, I think his name was James, was awesome. Kind, attentive, conversational, knowledgeable, etc. Thank you! Secondly, the beer was exceptional... their red ale, "Mickey Redmond" was probably one of my favorites of all time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lastly, and equally as important, the clientele was great! I help a conversation with every single person who sat near me at the bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Some breweries are more stuffy and nobody wants to talk - this place was the complete opposite.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I love it. I just wish they weren't 2 hours away from home. Thanks for the great experience. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute spot![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The parking lot was packed, and this place was busy on a weeknight![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a pretty large menu with a large variety. And dang, they have an extensive mug club following. According to the staff person I asked, they have over 3,000 members! I would recommend! read more

I have been to Baffin quite a few times and it is a great place to meet up with friends. The beer is good and the bartenders are attentive and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of parking out back and the brewery is always very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Been mug club members since 2018 and go to Baffin all the time. The beers are always good. The parking has gotten very difficult recently, so be prepared to drive around for a bit during peak times. There is no kitchen, but there is often a food truck and you can bring in your own food. read more

Baffin Brewing in St. Clair Shores is truly something special. From the moment you walk in, you can feel how intentional they are about creating a welcoming, inclusive environment, especially for families and even solo workers looking for hybrid workplace after 12 noon! As parents, that means everything to us, and Baffin consistently makes us feel comfortable, respected, and genuinely happy to be there whether it's a family night out or a date night. The food trucks....they get some of the best!! The staff is ALWAYS friendly, patient, and accommodating, and the atmosphere strikes that perfect balance of fun, relaxed, and community-driven with the allowance of dogs. It's refreshing to find a brewery that understands families can enjoy great craft beer and quality time together. Bring your board games! After experiencing less-than-welcoming environments elsewhere (even as mug club members $$$$), Baffin has become the place we look forward to returning to again and again. They welcomed us with open arms after a bad experience. It's not just a brewery, it's a space that truly values its patrons and the community it serves. We're so grateful to have a place like this in our neighborhood and my family and pups appreciate the entire staff! Highly recommend. read more

Baffin's is our new favorite spot, easily replacing Copper Hop. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's super chill and genuinely family friendly; the staff totally gets that you can't glue 2 and 4 year olds to a table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The beer selection is awesome, plus, their punch card loyalty system is way simpler and better than having to type in your phone number every time. If you have kids and want great beer, check out Baffin's. highly recommended. read more

This place is the best. :) been coming since the grand opening and am a mug club holder along with literally dozens of my friends and loved ones. Some of the bartenders are the BEST. I don't know a lot of the newer ones, unfortunately, but there are some amazing workers here we have become friends with over the years and these are the people that keep us coming back. I love the beer.... the seltzers are always a favorite. They have the option for slushies, too! I have not yet tried the wine on its own, but I'm holding out for liquor. Baffin cocktails? Sign me up. I don't know if I have a favorite. There was a Pina colada one a few years ago that tasted legitimately like a fresh pineapple and I almost died it was so delicious. They host an art fair that I awesome and I was lucky enough to take part in. I LOVED it. Met some great people and I can't get enough of "craft" type shows so it is awesome to see events like that happen. Food trucks happen all the time, I'd like more variety sometimes it seems its the same trucks a lot, but I'll be honest, I don't really know how those schedules are figured out, it may be quarterly, etc, plans. Some of the food is fantastic though and I've had my share of meals over some yummy drinks. It can get a tad loud in there, but that's usually weekends or later in the evening. I've come here to get business down earlier in the day before, so you can find time for calm there, too. I like the warm industrial vibe. They have had some expansions which is awesome because it can get pretty busy. The patio out front is great cause it's actually open air. The large side patio really is more of an indoor expansion cause I don't know if K EVER see any sides open. I would like it much more if it got some air sometimes. All in all, a favorite in the Shores. read more

I have been a proud mug club member for years and Baffin is still one of my favorite local spots!! I was just there last night and my fall-loving heart was so excited to see the Kill the Keg pumpkin beer on tap. Love Shake Your Pump ! read more

I love this place. They always have great and friendly staff. Their beer is awesome with so many different options. My favorite part? They have a rotating selection of boozy slushees.

Baffin Brewing Company - Baffin Slushee - Breweries Near Me - Saint Clair Shores, Michigan

Really chill place for a beer. We stopped in because we were in search of a food truck and they had a decent one there. I love that there was plenty of outdoor seating and it was a dog friendly establishment. The coconut ipa was a great beer. Upset I didn't bring some home read more

Another local favorite with food trucks! Two of my recent favorites are Roast Malone (coffee cream ale) and Slick Shoes (candy bar stout)., Roast Malone has the right balance of coffee tones with a slight hint of pumpkin. It is SMOOTH. This is the first coffee cream ale I've tried and it is sensational. It's light on the palate but doesn't skimp on the coffee. Slick Shoes is definitely a heavier and richer selection. The peanut flavor isn't overpowering, nor does it taste too sweet. It's a genuine peanut taste. The chocolate and vanilla tones seemed to be more subtle, which I appreciated. The service was impressive given how packed it was! Baffin has a characteristic vibe that is Shorians appreciate! read more

Our new favorite watering hole. They have a nice selection of beers. Also offering hard seltzers and a couple boozy slushies. Great service. Every one there is super friendly. Cold beers filled right to the tippy top and they even allow our loveable pooch to tagalong. What's not to love?! They have a rotating schedule of food trucks every week. Be sure to follow their social media so you don't miss out on some tasty treats. We are quickly making our way to becoming a members of the "Mug Club". Do yourself a favor and don't forget to get their punch card. For every one you fill you receive a nice little gift. read more

I only stopped in to get a bottle of water, and Liz was very helpful to me! I can't go drinking there yet, but when I can, I'll be going here! Thank you again, Liz, and I hope to see you again the next time I come in!

Baffin just keeps getting better! My friend informed me that Drangon's Landing was doing a pop up at Baffin and we both LOVE grilled cheese sandwiches. We had a few hours to enjoy some delicious brews and food. I opted for the Cuban and he ordered the Jam On It! His was rather interesting with bacon, Gouda, and yummy tomato onion-jam. We split the tomato soup because what's a grilled cheese without tomato soup??? Right? Lol He also grabbed a Plain Jane to go. I love the collaboration between local breweries...Share the love and support! On a side note, if you're into tag a brews, Baffin has the cutest one with a bone charm!!!!!! Of course I had to get one for my friend. He collects them and I collect the stickers. Baffin...I'm well on my way to being a mug club member. read more

Such a nice little brewery! It is a small space, but seating around the bar, a few tables, and some chairs around barrels to set drinks on. We waited a little while to sit down but less than 30 mins and then we were able to get a table for our group of 6. Staff is very friendly. Bar area and mugs provide good decor. Also, would love to go in the summer as the front has garage door windows that open up. Had the mango beer- so good! They also have it available in cans to take home. Highly recommend. For food options, they have popcorn that is goooood- salty and buttery and free! And the night we were there they had el guapo food truck so we got tacos/burritos/nachos. Also I heard you can get food from the restaurant next door. read more

Baffin Brewing Company - Peach passion fruit sour - Breweries Near Me - Saint Clair Shores, Michigan

We came here back in 2016 when they first opened, and I really liked it here. But it has changed a bit from what I remember. We tried to do a brewery hop through SCS, but unfortunately the other two breweries were closed. So I guess we will save that for another day. The restaurant is located in an area that is easy to get to. Parking is easy and convenient. They had plenty of outdoor seating set up. The brewery requires masks and social distancing is enforced. I ordered the Mickey Redmond and really loved it. They have a mug club for people who are regulars. They do not serve food but you can order from next door and walk over and grab it. Oh! Best part? Dogs are welcome on the patio! Yay!! Check this place out. Enjoy an ice cold craft beer. read more

Just got home (7/30/23). I was there a couple hours ago. I think there were two employees in the bar; both girls. Maybe there were more employees but I didn't see them. A guy shows up (obviously DRUNK) and wants a beer in a mug. The mug # he gave was previously removed due to inactivity. He was belligerent saying he just used it two weeks ago. Anyways, one of the girls went next door to find the "out of circulation" mug. So he got his beer in "his" mug. Then he took the time to ask my opinion. I told him that he got his mug, got his beer, now go join your group. That was met with "fuck you" and more!!! Ok - F you jerk!!! But - what about Baffin today 7/30 afternoon/evening shift?!?!? Why was this asshole served a beer?!?!? WHY?!?!? WTF is going on at Baffin? Call the cops and let them know we are not serving a customer who is already drunk and irate!!!! It's bullshit! Poor training!!! That situation could have gotten way out of control... such bullshit. Change my mind Baffin!!!! read more

Good quality choice of beers. We went when it was still nice enough to sit outside and they were very accommodating and allow dogs! Bonus :) read more

Very artsy environment with amazing staff! If this place were any closer This would be my spot! Loved the atmosphere and the overall attitude. The overhead music fit the vibe perfectly! read more

This local brewery offers a nice array of brews and great prices. Seating is offered indoor and outdoor, and there is plenty of parking. A popcorn machine resides along the back wall for a easy snack as you like. When we visited, there was also a pop up food station in the back, if you were looking for a bite to eat. Baffin Brewery also offers a mug club, which helps to adorn there interior with a certain rustic charm as the mugs hang from the ceiling throughout the bar. Glass windows also display the brewery equipment with which their local brews are created. Check this place out for a local Michigan brew! read more

Baffin is a great brewery if you're looking for a lively atmosphere and great tasting beer.

We absolutely love hanging out here! They have the friendliest staff and a great playlist. We've been coming since 2018 and just drank our way into the mug club. The new covered patio is a great addition since it has gotten so popular over the years. You can also bring your dog, which is always a plus! read more

As always, it was awesome. I came in celebrating a new job. I sat at the bar and had a Mango IPA and another IPA I can't recall. Both for smooth and had the perfect finish. They were bitter in the best way and brewed clear...no headache the next day. I'll defintely be back again! read more

Great gem! Found this place on a whim. Beer selection is fantastic. Has both inside and outside sitting. Doesn't serve food but does offer food truck or you can bring food in. I did a beer flight!!

As a mug member this was my place to go but the service is getting bad. They want you to stand in line to get a beer but yet they expect a tip.

The grapefruit infused NEIPA was the whip, did not care for the mango infused that seemed like it just didn't belong to ipa. So they are enforcing the safety standards which is a good thing to me. I just wanted to play it safe. The outside is open with picnic tables and heaters. Great day for a brew. read more

Small place big beer . Stopped in for a couple after the Tigers game. Had the mango unchained was freakin awesome makes summer shandy and others like that taste like no nothing beer. They serve fresh popcorn that is the food menu. But your not there for food. Our server was really nice and very helpful. When your not to sure about the different types of beer by the names given to them, she explained and brought samples. You can bring in your own food or have something delivered. read more

They are open! I ran by pick up a 6 pack of their Mango IPA and it was delicious! This is the only IPA that I have successfully drank with my wife. She isn't much for Hops but the mango mellows everything out. I haven't had a bad beer here. The Paczki beer is also fantastic! Great beer and great people! read more

First time to SCS's and was excited to check out a local brewery with apparent good reviews. Sat down at the third to half filled bar. Had to wave twice and actually ask Hello? to the bartender before she acknowledged my presence (and the others already sat at end of the bar). When I stated being from far away and looking for suggestions, she simply pointed to the wall and said "there's what we have" (which I couldn't read the scribbling) and walked away. The double Mosaic IPA wasn't an IPA at all. The Ruby Grapefruit IPA also wasn't an IPA, but I will admit the flavor was extremely solid. I also noticed the hundreds of mugs and asked how much the souvenirs were. I was told I couldn't buy any no matter how far away I came from, that I had to buy 150 beers in a year. Did quick math that gave me roughly a grand. $1,000 for mug... I know the bartender's name, but I won't oust her here for this poor experience. The potential for this place is there, but I definitely won't be back nor will I suggest it to anyone else. read more

Great beer! Good options for both light & dark beers. They have some good stouts and IPAs. Also there are food trucks outside, check the Facebook page before you go to see what they're serving read more

I've dropped my rating one star. To be honest, the place has become extremely popular (crowded) and it has negatively impacted my experience there. There are so many times that I will get there in the afternoon and the place is already filled to the brim with no seats available. I'm not old and crotchety, so not having a seat isn't a deal breaker, but it does change the experience. The place is hopping (pun fully intended) which is great for them, but it is a pain the butt for patrons at time. The waitstaff definitely has to work their butts off as they still staff the place the exact same way that they did when it was a brand new establishment. read more

We LOVE Baffin! Throughout the pandemic, we have made more of a conscious effort to support small businesses in our area. Baffin is one of our favorite breweries. Plenty of patio seating with safety measures in place. They do deliver locally as well. Never been disappointed with anything on their tap list! If you haven't tried their Mango Unchained yet, you definitely should! read more
