3.0 of 5 stars. I must preface my review with a little secret... I am allergic to beer. My reaction to it is quite severe... so much so that I'll even react to small amounts of it in beer batter. As you can...

Yelp.com Review - by Joe T.

4.0 of 5 stars. This is in the quaint and cozy downtown Clawson - it's a little more intimate and peaceful than nearby Royal Oak. I liked this place simply because it was a no frills, unpretentious, yet hip place to...

4.0 of 5 stars. I lived a couple of blocks away from this place and it was an excellent place. The no smoking policy was great. You could go after work, and not go home all smoky. The food menu was never quite...

4.0 of 5 stars. I first visited this restaurant last December. I needed a place to meet some friends after work. We needed to eat, but also wanted to be able to kick back a bit since it would be the last time we...

5.0 of 5 stars. The Black Lotus Brewery is an excellent place to eat, drink brews, and relax with friends. The brews are light, tangy, and full of flavor. My favorite is the Funkin' A Apricot brew. It's very...

Yelp.com Review - by Dan S.

4.0 of 5 stars. On a good day, Black Lotus could be the best brew pub in town. Guarded, but high praise for a place that has made some of the best beers I've tasted locally. "The Gift" is a pretty solid Belgian that...

4.0 of 5 stars. The hubs started homebrewing a few months ago. Holy hell. Why isn't everyone hopping it up to do this too? From the Brewmaster Marc I'm told it's "easy" (I wasn't good at chemistry, in fact cheated my...

4.0 of 5 stars. I haven't eaten here yet, so I can't comment on the food, but the beers I know and I like. My favorite is the apricot wheat (be careful though, I couldn't drive home after 3 or 4) and they used to...

4.0 of 5 stars. I am a fan of the BLotus, more for the atmosphere than the beer. I love beer - whether I'm in the mood for a Miller Lite or a tasty Bell's Oberon. I have tried a ton of beers from accross the...

3.0 of 5 stars. I wrinkled my nose at the non-smoking policy, but decided to be a big kid and give it a spin. The bartender was extremely smiles and puppy dogs, which is great because I happen to love both.I got the...

5.0 of 5 stars. I just love this place. Great beer (my faves are the Hefewizen, Hemp, and a very "licoricey" Belgian), relaxing atmosphere, big & open, outdoor seating in summer, nonsmoking. And they have steadily...

3.0 of 5 stars. I hate beer. I think it all tastes like horse urine. But I saw an article about the barbecue chicken nachos at Black Lotus, and decided to give it the old college try. After all, I've been kept...

4.0 of 5 stars. Now, my friends (actually one in particular) are bigger fans than I am of 'The Lotus.' Still, I think it's a serviceable, valuable and yes, tasty local destination. The 10ish original beers on tap are...

3.0 of 5 stars. Not the best microbreweries I've been to. Quality of the brew is less than sophisticated. Wait staff not so good either. Slow service. Too slow on getting the bill. So slow that when I got home,...

3.0 of 5 stars. Beer was passable, ambiance was akin to a sterile Chuck E Cheese, and the waitstaff was depressing yet .. serviceable. A short bland review for beers that hit me that same way. Could be a great...

5.0 of 5 stars. Some of the best hand crafted beers available in Metro Detroit. The oatmeal stout is very good, and I'm not a fan of stouts generally. It has almost a coffee flavor to it. Very good.The owner is very...
