B. Nektar Meadery

I came here with a group for our monthly euchre get together, which means we reserve several tables for a few hours. They were very accommodating and gave us a corner all to ourselves with enough room for our group.I don't usually drink cider or mead, so I sampled a few until I settled on one I liked. It was the punk lemonade, I got the 10 oz size, and while I still didn't 'love' it, it was good enough to drink for the night. The interior is a bit stark, but it was fine for our gathering. No food, but they let you bring in your own, so we ordered pizza and some of us brought snacks to share. The waitstaff came around a lot to check on us, so points for that. The place was virtually empty though, except for us, so maybe that's why! We had fun posing with the Danny Devito cutout. Perhaps they should (or maybe they do) rotate celebrities every month. We always collect $5 from everyone to tip the waitstaff extra well, when we tried to give it to the staff they said they don't accept tips! So they said they would give it to a charity. Nice touch. I hope the staff is well compensated though.

We once a upon a time tried one of their bottles of mead from a bottle shop so I made plans to come here if we were ever in the Detroit area. I do not regret making our plans work so we were able to come here while they were open (Wed-Sun only).We came in the last hour before they closed one night and they still served us which was much appreciated after not finding places to eat as it was too late and most places have closed. While we couldn't find places to eat, we managed to make it here before they closed and had two flights. The bartender was very nice and knew the mead and ciders very well. She offered us tastes if we wanted, and has very good taste because I loved everything she recommended to us. In fact, we came back the day after to try the rest of the menu that wasn't part of the flights. They allow you to bring in food so we brought in two Detroit style pizzas to eat while drinking. We walked away with a howler, and 3-4 4 packs of various meads and ciders. Our favorites include, not in any particular order - Punk Lemonade Cider, New Wave Lemonade Mead, Slice of Life, The Dude's Rug.

Everything was great here! As someone new to the area, I appreciated the friendly and very informative wait staff. I had a mead flight and liked most of them. The music was an eclectic mix which I enjoyed.

Came here for trivia last night. I hadn't been here in years. Service was slow at first despite sitting at the bar. It seems the bartender was more interested in socializing. There was barely anyone in there when we arrived so they weren't especially busy. It did get better, and I really like the drinks there. They don't have food but you can bring in carry out. They don't accept tips, but they do offer an option to add a donation for an organization (I couldn't hear which one, she did explain it to my bf). It should explained that it's a donation and not gratuity on the tablet or be explained by the bartender because it's confusing. I had a good time until the very end of the night. I hadn't realize they closed because no one gave a warning, until the bartender loudly SCREAMED "we've been closed for 15 minutes, we'd like to go home too". It really took me off guard because it was so unprofessional. To be clear, I have no problem with them telling people they're closed and to try to get going but to not give notice and then yell and complain like that wasn't called for. I don't see myself rushing back.

My wife and I went for a food/mead pairing event. Both were amazing!This was our first time to B. Nectar & we were both very impressed with the cleanliness of the facility, the friendliness of the staff, and of course the mead. We'll be back for sure!

Had an amazing time going to this meadery. The beers were sweet and delicious. They had a very large variety and also rotating beers per season. My friend and I got a fight and we tried multiple IPA's, stouts, and slushies! Service was great too! Loved the conversation with the bartender! It's a very local meadery. The meadery design was very wooden with seating in the bar, high tables, outdoor and lower tables . It is a more lived in place with an older charm.

We had a fundraiser for work here, and they were amazing to work with! Great drinks and great waitstaff. The owners are also very easy going and helpful. It's a must try if you like cider and mead.

Sadly I hadn't heard of this place until I recently bought a 4-pack at a local liquor store in Jackson. It happened to be a 4-pack of the Punk Lemonade. All things seemed to be aligning as I was planning on making a trip to Ferndale for something else and decided to add this place to the mix. All of the meads/ciders had nice flavors and of course I had some favorites. Flights seem to be the best way to go or rather get as many 5 ounces as you want to find what tickles your fancy. I wasn't a huge fan of the slushy's. The flavor profile didn't translate very well for me this route. You can get just 5 oz as well for those to see if like them. The atmosphere was chill and nice. Definitely worth checking out if you want to find some nice meads.

Mead mead mead meeeeeead!This place is pretty awesome. There was a total nerd vibe going on! Being from Seattle originally, it has that going for it.All of the drinks we sampled were fantastic. I even liked one with coconut. I HATE COCONUT! My wife was surprised at how much I liked it.Cyser of the Lambs is my favorite. I could drink a gallon of that.Thanks so much for being a new destination each time we come to Michigan.

We arrived around 7:30 and it was already packed, which is understandable, but there were chairs and we had to kind of create a table ourselves, which was fine. They wanted a card on file and failed to tell me that there was a $25 fee just a card on file I feel that the staff should have mentioned that before just taking it and charging it I informed the bar staff that I was going to pay with a different card and that I didn't want to be charged another holding fee on that card. The staff seems to ignore certain people and they were very rude. Besides, one guy that was behind the bar over priced service and lack of information to the guest on trivia night
