20 Best Craft Breweries near Oak Park

“Impressive collection of beer options but average food. They also do not allow food to be brought in from outside, so would recommend getting food elsewhere before coming here. They often have food trucks available but we missed out when we visited because there was no warning they were leaving. Regardless, I will be returning for their beer alone!“

“Bella, our bartender, was super cool and friendly. She knew the beers and was quick to keep us hydrated. Beers are top notch. From sours to stouts to IPAs, you will find multiple beers you'll love. The rating on Untapped reviews are right. Over 4 star beers on most! I got a Wheel Horse (cherry wheat sour) and coconut cuvée. Yum. Yum. Yum. Food trucks outside. Huge parking lot in the back. Easy to find. Tons of seating options and the biggest wrap around bar I've seen in a long time. Comfortable temperature (as in you're not freezing or sweating inside). Generous happy hour is 4-8 I believe. $1 off drafts I think. My only regret is not visiting sooner. Run club - see you soon!“

“Noah made my experience! He was so gracious and helpful. He took the extra time to make sure I had a good experience. The bar was slammed and I could tell they were busy. I had to send something back and he didn’t make me feel like I inconvenienced anyone. That’s a big win. I’ll be back ❤️??“

“Went here last weekend and loved it. Excellent and I mean excellent service from our female server on Saturday. Seated right away. Around $60 for two meals and an app, two drinks per. Chicken wings were great, not what you’d normally think with wings, but awesome! Would go back“

“Stopped by for beer and pizza. Great selection of brews. The Detroit style pizza was great. Lots of space spread out. Highly recommend.“

“Urbanrest is the type of brewery/bar that makes you look around and think, "It might be the pint talking, but suddenly the idea of getting old one day might not be so scary as long as there are community spaces like this within walking distance."A cool atmosphere, good beer, people of all ages and backgrounds, families, dogs at the tables outside when it's nice out, all enjoying themselves and taking a load off in a casual, familiar feel.Bonus points for the pride flags, and extra mega super bonus points for when they host the Belly It! food truck.An awesome event setting for renting out the back room, too!“

“Currently, my favorite watering hole downtown (one of several for sure). I can't get enough Elephant Juice and 313 IPA. Even better if you bring a traditional Mitsos gyro with you (across the street). The gods must be crazy putting so much decadence so close together.“

“Check it out love it or hate it. Kuhnhenn stays consistent. Same staff same dedication and commitment to the team family. If you were here years ago the bartenders and all the regulars are still here. The good beer service, standard of service, is what you get at k1. Check out the other reviews, come and take a look for yourself. It definitely has a good feel, and some excellent beer. Been coming for years, time to show love. CK it out.“

“Tyler is a stellar bartender, extremely knowledgeable, and friendly. The food was an absolute delight. The soft shell crab tacos are a great way to start your dining experience, don't forget a flight of their in house crafted beer or guest tap ciders. Perfect dinner date atmosphere. This is a Detroit must try!“

“This is an odd and difficult review. You can't leave half stars on Google, otherwise this would be 4.5. Don't want to leave 4, 5 it is.The beer, excellent. The Winter Lager is better than the Boston brand version.Camping Beer is amazing. Was so good brought 4 home.Food we had was great. Had their version of a Smash Burger. The one thing I'd like additional would be pickle slices. One thing I NEED on a burger... MUSTARD! There was none available. That made it a 3 star meal LOL. Also, you have to serve yourself. Which is fine. For the great pricing on the burger and fries, I'll carry my food. And the fries...incredible to me.Bartenders. Friendly, helpful and thoughtful. I ordered a beer that came in a can. Bartender poured it in the glass and handed me the can because there was a splash left. I have never experienced that in 35 years of going to bars.Definitely a good stop and will be back.“

“Parking sucks! Otherwise, it's a great place.Cool, repurposed location, friendly beertenders, friendly locals.Monthly euchre? I'll be back for that. Weekly trivia, too.12 taps of their own tasty liquids, well-labeled & easily read.“

“Thank heavens for Cadillac Straits! We moved from Minneapolis, where apparently they decided to lead a monopoly on brew supply stores, to south-central Michigan and this is the only place we can find for brewing supplies! But, on top of that, they're a brew pub that serves some of the beer that you can buy kits for (which is super cool) and good food. Thumbs up on the Cubano and pretzel sticks - I just wish they offered a Fig Lebowski salad.Bur also... how can you not love a place that harkens to Mega Man for their fermenter names???“

“Excellent beer and atmosphere.“

“Great ownership! Expecting great things from this brewery!“

“The beer was top notch, we had the Belgian dark. The bartender was also very personable and knowledgeable of the beers.“

“I was in the area and stopped by to check this place out. It's a cute spot. Not very big, but big enough. There is outside seating which increases the amount of seating. Also allows for a different experience. When I walked in, the entire place smelled like cookies. Which was a pleasant surprise. I found out there is a connected ice cream and coffee shop. I was absolutely shocked to see the variety of beers on tap! The bartender was fantastic. She usually works next door so she was filling in. But she was so personable and sweet. We had a lot in common to chat about and that made my stay even more fun. I was meeting up with a friend later so I had to go. Otherwise I would have stayed longer. Most definitely will come back!“

“i visited for the first time with a friend last night and had the best time! i have always been a fan of their meads and decided to order a flight. my favorite of the night was “kill all the golfers,” SO GOOD. we were lucky enough to meet the owners during our visit and they were absolutely lovely! i was beyond impressed with their hospitality and knowledge of their craft. it was an experience i’ll never forget and i can’t wait to return!“

“This place has a very cool vibe. The name is Urbanrest Brewing Co. Other than soft serve ice cream, they do not serve food, which is too bad to not serve at least appetizers, but they have some great food trucks, so check out what truck is going to be there if you are hungry. But beers are where they shine. Great variety, knowledgeable staff.“

“we travelled up from cleveland for a concert at royal oak and we happened to decide to come here to eat and have a couple drinks and it was amazing! the bartenders were super friendly and helpful and they let us take drinks to go to wait in line which was awesome! when we come back for a show this will 100% be our place.“

“Griffin Claw is hands down our favorite place to grab a beer and some food. We've been going regularly (probably too regularly) for years now and it's never disappointed. The atmosphere is great, it's always bustling, the staff is great, and the food and drinks are top notch.Kid-friendliness: Griffin Claw is a great option for children. If you show up for dinner any time between 4 and 6 PM, the restaurant will be full of kids in high chairs.“
