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!

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.

Love this place! Great spot to watch a game. The beer is good. They have a small amount of merch for sale as well. The food was pretty solid. We wished the chicken Caesar wrap had been better but the chicken sandwich was fire.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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
