Elephant & Co. Detroit

Elephant and Co. is an awesome place to experience because of its unique layout . You're essentially going to a beer party (seltzers and cocktails are available) where you can try as many unique flavors as possible without having to wait for a bartender. You serve yourself with the system they've devised, and it works out wonderfully. I tried more types of beer in my one night at Elephant than I had in the entire year leading up to that because of this system. I loved it!The Pizza is high quality Detroit style pizza. My personal favorite is the Margherita, but every slice you get is robust and I really liked the sauce they used. I also really, really enjoyed the Scapegoat pizza and had never had anything like it. I think Elephant and Co. may be my top place to bring a date in all of Midtown due to its food, affordability, and most importantly, the awesome set up of the restaurant. It makes for a very entertaining evening.

10 out of 10, I loved everything about this place My husband and I enjoyed a date night out after attending a private event here recently. The service was incredible, the pizza was on point, and the beer wall had some great featured brews. My favorite pizza had bbq sauce, ham, bacon, and fried onion, but I also recommend the Scapegoat.The Ferndale Project Powdered Apple Paczki beer was my absolute favorite, followed closely by the Blossom Project: Orange. I love that you can pour however much you like in a cup without committing to a full glass.

We attended a Yelp! Event at the amazing downtown Elephant & Co. This was one of my favorite events of the past year.We arrived early and got to check out the super unique space. When we got in we were given wrist bands to self-pour beer from the Disneyesque automated taps. We found a very nice table in the back and enjoyed the cool elephant themed decor.After finding our seats, we grabbed a couple of slices of the deep dish cheese bread with marinara and ranch. We headed to the bar in the back and the bartender poured us a refreshing vodka gimlet. Through the night we tried an Elote (Mexican street corn) pizza, which was good, but very rich. We had an amazing slice of goat cheese, hot honey, fig and carmelized onion pizza; this is a must try. Also, we had the Honolulu blue, which had ham, bacon, pineapple, onion and barbecue sauce. This was another amazing slice of pizza.For beers, we tried some interesting selections. We tried a raspberry sour, that was pretty nice and refreshing. We had a flannel stout that tasted like s'mores. A butterfly beer that tasted like pea flower, not my favorite, but still interesting. Our favorite beer of the night was the Ferndale Project Powdered sugar apple Paczki lager. It smelled just like apple filling and was super light and refreshing. We really enjoyed our night at Elephant & Co. we will definitely be bringing friends back soon.

This is an update to my prior review. I recently was at this location for an event, but I had a chance to try many of the beers, a cocktail, and several of the pizzas. I also got to talk with two staff members.100% turn around on the food, the pizzas were all good to very good. No cleanliness issues. I still like about 66% of their beers-- but there was a CO issue with several of the taps on the tap wall. Staff members were also good to great.

The variety of beer is everything!!!! My group has diverse taste and we were all pleased, from the non beer drinkers to the selective sour folks. Pizza is Detroit style, it DOES NOT disappoint. I was too excited about all the choices to take as many pictures as I usually do.

Location of this is kinda out in the middle of nowhere. Definitely not an easy spot to just stumble upon while driving around. But now that I know about it, definitely going to keep it in mind to come back to. They've got a pour-it-yourself kinda deal for approximately 40 beers on tap. Some are better than others, but there's a ton of unique flavors to choose from. They also have some think hearty Detroit style pizza. Absolutely loaded with cheese, and with a nice crispy crust too.

We had an amazing time enjoying the delicious pizza and drafts. My favorites were the pizza with the fried onions, the ranch dressing, and the White Stout on draft. The interior is bright and honors the history of the building. The elephant theme is cleverly worked in. Everyone that works there is incredibly friendly and the food was replenished quickly. We can't wait to take a few friends.

Had a great Yelp Elite Party experience here! The ambience is fun. Pizza is really good. They had several different pizzas to try. They were all really good. I like pouring my own beer tastings! Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I will be back!

I never would have ordered the cheese, dill, garlic with pears pizza. It just doesn't sound appealing to me but I was WRONG. It's deliciousness! I'm a big fan and will return for some more of that yummy goodness.

Great selection of self serve draft beer! Pizza was excellent! Fun atmosphere especially when the weather is warm enough to have the patio open! Employees were especially friendly and warm!
