"Checked out Eastern Market Brewing Company tonight, and I get why people talk about this place. It’s right in the heart of Eastern Market and has a great lineup of beers — enough options for everyone, whether you’re into IPAs or just want something easy to drink . I grabbed a flight so I could pretend I’m a beer expert. I’m not, but the dark beer was smoother than I expected and the lager was the kind of crisp you want after a long week. The space itself feels laid back — good seating, and you can still catch whatever game is on without feeling like you’re in a packed sports bar. Service was friendly, crowd was chill, and it’s the kind of spot where you could make this your go-to without even trying. Detroit beer, no pressure, good energy. I’ll definitely be back — and I’m officially adding breweries to the list of places I “review” now."

"The beer is really good! We got there late, but the bartenders were helpful and friendly...poured us some good beer and seltzer. The color of the Honolulu Blue was awesome (Go Lions!), taste was great....I would have liked more carbonation. I had the Flow State NEIPA and All New Lager. Both really good!"

"Great beer selection, a relaxed vibe, and plenty of board games to enjoy. I also appreciated that they had the football games on, adding to the cozy atmosphere. If you like a sweeter beer, I’d definitely recommend the Flannel Weather (not the one pictured). Perfect spot for a laid-back evening."

"If you’re anywhere near Detroit—or, honestly, even across the border in Canada (yes, you Windsor folks!)—do yourself a favor and make your way to Eastern Market Brewing Company. Nestled right in the heart of the historic Eastern Market district, just a stone’s throw from the Detroit River and a hop across the Ambassador Bridge from Canada, this place is an absolute gem that radiates Midwestern soul. I visited with my lovely wife Melanie and my always-up-for-a-good-time in-laws, and let me tell you, from the moment we stepped into the brewery, we were greeted with that unmistakable Midwestern charm. The staff? Friendly like they’ve known you for years. The patrons? Just as welcoming. We shared laughs, recommendations, and even some bench space. Speaking of sharing — we sat outside and ended up sharing a table with a delightful local couple and their young kid, who was full of energy and joy, bouncing up and down on the bench like a little piston engine. You’d think that would be distracting, but honestly, it added to the warmth and life of the experience. It was like being folded into a living postcard of Detroit hospitality. Now, I never tip. Like, ever. But the service here? So exceptional, so genuinely warm and attentive, that I found myself enthusiastically leaving an 18% tip. That might not sound like much to some, but for me? That’s basically a standing ovation. Let’s talk about the restrooms. And believe me, we need to talk about the restrooms. Spotless. Gleaming. Like the kind of clean you see in sci-fi movies where robots do all the cleaning. I went in twice and came back both times feeling like I had just walked through a showroom for premium tiles and top-tier janitorial diligence. Even my mother-in-law commented on it—and she never talks about restrooms. Now to the beer—oh yes, the beer. We sampled a beautiful flight that included: 🍺 Jumbo Juice Hazy IPA – Bursting with tropical citrus and a velvety mouthfeel, this beer is like a Saturday at the lake house: relaxed, bright, and unapologetically satisfying. 🍺 313 IPA – Crisp, balanced, and bold, just like Detroit itself. This one is the IPA equivalent of a Michigan tailgate party: hearty, dependable, and unforgettable. 🍺 Pineapple Market Day (Session IPA) – Light, fruity, and full of zing—imagine the refreshing joy of biting into a perfectly chilled slice of watermelon at a Midwest county fair. Yes, that good. We were surrounded by gorgeous murals painted on the buildings nearby—massive, colorful expressions of Detroit’s creative pulse. Every wall tells a story, and together they give the whole neighborhood the feeling of a living art gallery. And before I forget—because this deserves its own paragraph—the shawarma. Oh. My. Goodness. We snagged it just around the corner in the Eastern Market and devoured it like we hadn’t eaten in days. Juicy, flavorful, with garlic sauce that dreams are made of. The wrap was perfectly crisp on the outside, tender on the inside—like the city of Detroit itself: tough where it counts, but full of heart. So yes—Eastern Market Brewing Company delivered everything we hoped for and more. Fantastic beer, charming locals, unbeatable vibes, and restrooms that deserve their own Yelp page. I’d cross two borders for another visit. Five stars aren’t enough. This place is a treasure."

"I generally like their beer and have always wanted to make it to their actual brewery… well, I made it and ended up disappointed. I bought a $7 and $10 beer (for my wife and l) and both were served in a plastic cup. This was after ordering at a counter because there are no serverrs. Then I felt obliged to tip 18% because it was the lowest option - yes stupid me. Beer still tasted great but I’ll just buy it at my local meijer. I don’t ever plan to come back and it’s too bad."
