Single Barrel Social

Service was great. Drinks were tremendous. Food, just meh, too expensive for the taste and quality. Not enough entree options. I don't write reviews, hardly ever, but felt the need to share my honest opinion after $550 spent on the 4 of us. Wives got steak, undercooked by 2 levels, rare instead of medium. I'd eat it, I thought it was tasty, wish I had gotten it. I probably wouldn't be writing this review had I. My cousin and I got the scallops. Upon arrival to the table it wreaked of fish, we initially all thought it was bad. We tried it, tasted fine, cooked well but the smell took away my desire to finish; I gave half of mine to my cousin. I opted to add the #1 king crab leg, wish I hadn't. Tasted like any other average crab leg I've had, I've had tons better, even better in my own kitchen. $104 for a single lwgthough was ridiculous. Had it been #2 and that's all I ordered I'd been happier. A friend asked about my experience. I said I wouldn't be back, hope they can pivot and survive. My friend checked it off his list of must try's.

Quality service and quality food. Made a reservation for 9:30pm arrived at 9:15pm and out table was ready. Seated right away. Ty waited on us and was very professional, knowledgeable, and quick with all the options available. Dad enjoyed the braised short rib soup, I enjoyed a port wine with a espresso creme brulee, and Jeff enjoyed a dozen East Coast bad boy oysters. They served a frozen, shaved vinaigrette that was delicious with the oysters. I also ordered the seafood fried rice but the portion was so large I had to take it to go. They have a beautiful chandelier that we took our picture at. The restaurant itself was clean, smelled good and the atmosphere very hype. They sang happy birthday in one room, the bar was packed and the dining room buzzing with people still enjoying the Friday night. The bathrooms could have used a little bit more attention but it was towards the end of the night so I can understand the overflow of the garbage cans and the water on top of the sinks from washing your hands. Overall great night out and we will be back next year to celebrate another amazing year!

Absolutely loved this place! Stopped for a cap after dinner.. and will definitely be back. Great service, delicious drinks, and divine appetizers and dessert. Absolutely will be back for some of their steaks that I couldn't take my eyes off of.

I was invited to a special event hosted by DCD! It was a bourbon dinner paired with DCD inspired cocktails. I've never been to Single Barrel Social and this place was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! The food was absolutely fantastic and DCD holds nothing back when it comes to sponsoring an event! The place was packed and we even got to meet the chef! Single Barrel hosts many types of dinners like this highlighting local, Michigan distilleries. I can't wait to come back! On a side note: the decor is beautiful and the bartenders were fantastic!

Great cocktails and food! Service has been hit or miss for us at the bar. As weird as it sounds, we got better service when they're busy. The draft beer selection is minimal. Vibe is great in the evening and tends to get busy. They have good appetizers and the steaks are very good. We will be back.

This is my new favorite restaurant in the Brighton area! It is very trendy and has a lot of interesting things on the menu. The food was all really good!I ordered the filet mignon with a side of veggies and zip sauce and it was cooked perfectly medium rare. I love the crisp texture of the charred meat. They do use a decent amount of pepper, which I would ask them to leave off next time. The steak comes with your choice of side and I would recommend the whipped potatoes (what my fiancée ordered). We also tried the bread & butter, Guadalupe salad and whitefish croquettes- all delicious. I did not love the duck fat potatoes- just found them to be a little bland. The service was good & we're happy to share recommendations with us. They get pretty busy on the weekends so I would recommend making a reservation. There is also bar seating if you have a small group. The food is on the expensive side but worth it!

My husband and I had an early dinner at SBS a few months ago with my parents and it could have been such a nice time, but it ended up being incredibly awkward and uncomfortable for two very avoidable reasons...The food was excellent, the drinks were fantastic, and our server did a great job balancing the varying attitudes of the table. However, a couple of their "policies" rubbed us the wrong way.First, when we arrived, the restaurant was not yet half full. When my mom asked if we could be seated in a booth, she was told "I'm sorry, we're fully booked" and was told she should have called after booking online to ask for a booth... Now I know, management wants things to run smoothly and have the tables planned, but this put a sour note over the start to our evening...Second, and probably most importantly, they are... strict? about time limits... I acknowledge the necessity of flipping tables, but bluntly telling a party (especially one that just spent a good chunk of money) that they have a half hour left comes off tacky and puts an uncomfortable burden on the server. That tactic should be reserved for tables that split an app or nurse a beer for an hour, not for a party that ordered apps, several rounds of cocktails, four entrees with extra sides and add-ons... To flip that table, you check in often, ask if they need anything else, offer boxes for leftovers, drop the bill leaving out the usual "no rush", and if they're still dragging their feet, a manager check-in or an offer of a seat at the bar should make them get the hint.My parents said they will not return, which is sad because they live close to SBS and the food was so much better than anywhere they have dragged us all the way from downtown Detroit to try.I hope this review helps in some way, even if only to take some burden off making the servers and hosts have to preach policy to the patrons rather than simply providing hospitality.

The squad was on a shred sesh, since it's one of those "it's been a while moment." We decided to go out for some drinks and grub of course. So we let my friend decide where to go and we ended up here. Nicely decorated, it has two bars and plenty of seating everywhere. Lighting and ambiance was on point. The booth we were on was adorned in ostrich leather, which was something I was partial to. Thumbs up to the decorator. I love the appeal.Now to the food...Oysters - of course we ordered a dozen. Half west coast and half east coast. Delightful of course.Steak Tartare - 5 stars on the plating. Also 5 stars on the flavors. Love the plantain chips. Perfect accompaniment to the raw beef. Don't like raw beef? I don't care what you think. Let's keep it moving shall we.Bone Marrow - As you've seen from my reels, I'm partial to this dish as well. These guys are superb. Spread a proper amount on the toast. Top it with the caramelized onions and prepare to melt your life away. Oh, you don't like that too?? Don't care, more for me. Let's keep it moving.Delmonico Steak - I make amazing steaks, and my friends usually compare mines to other restaurants. Yes, this cut of cooked beef passes with honors. Medium Rare was spot on and the roasted root veggies were phenomenal.Service was dialed in. Our server did not skip a beat. We were taken cared of every step of the way. I would definitely come back here and smash again.Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps with your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day!!!

Single Barrel Social is decorated in the fancy gastropub style that a lot of trendy Michigan eateries seem to follow. As soon as you enter, your nose is smacked with the delicious aroma of wood & meat.Reservations are definitely recommended, as this place is really popular. They offer an extensive drink menu. Their food is elevated versions of familiar dishes. We enjoyed everything we ordered. The prices are kinda high, but you're paying for quality.

We're regulars here, I'd say this is the best food and drink In Brighton by far. Perhaps top 100 places in Michigan. Ask for Aspen, she's fantastic.We also just got back from a Michelin star restaurant in Southern California and id argue that SSB is just as good if not better.
