Brews Brothers

If you are a smoker, this may be the place for you. Also, if you like grimy seats, sticky tables and dusty walls, this may be the place for you. Not for us. The bar was so clouded with smoke, it was hard to breathe — we couldn’t imagine staying to eat. The barmaid was rather nice, though.

Nope. Overpriced ($ 4 well drinks) and old men hitting on your date. One and done, never to return

During the great flood of August 2014, I found myself trapped in the Allen Rd and Oakwood area after a 2 hour odyssey attempting to get home from Corktown. I was sick of driving through 2 – 3 foot waters and needed to stop for dinner and a beer. I had two choices for a beer and food, and this was my pick. I walked in and saw a few folks sitting at the bar, and was promptly served a very cold pint of Labatt Blue. Not a craft beer in sight. I was watching the weather radar, and more folks stranded like me filed in, ready to discuss strategies for getting out of this section of Melvindale. Food: I had a delicious home made stuffed pepper soup. I had another beer, and eventually decided to attempt the remaining journey to Grosse Ile. My tab? 8 dollars. I gave the friendly barmaid a generous tip.
These working class neighborhood bars are often overlooked gems.
