Bastone Brewery

Pretty cool! They have brews from North Peak, Bastone and of course Jolly Pumpkin. It is more of a sit down restaurant than the Detroit location's chill atmosphere, but they still have pizza and that delicious brussel sprout salad. Also there is brunch!

The food was excellent. My wife and I were very pleased with our meal. The server was very nice and checked in just enough to make sure we were taken care of. Their brews were just OK. I ordered their flight of 8 samples. Most of them tasted watered down severely. I only enjoyed 2 of the 8 beers; the remaining were mostly without flavor. Some tasted better with the food - but most didn't really improve one way or another. I would go back for the food, but I probably wouldn't go back for their beer.

Great new location to an awesome franchise. This location. Though very convenient is somewhat difficult to find from the road. The overall service was good and the truffle fries were good but a bit oversalted. Will.have to try the pizza next time. The downtown Detroit location has a diff feel but I think the Royal oak location will earn it's own keep.

Great service, good food. Beers we're on the mild side as far as flavor but not in a bad way. I liked everything I ordered. Nice atmosphere and good mix of new rock and indie/ pop music playing. I would definitely come back to this place.

Beers sucked. Tried 4 of em and not happy with any of em. One of them smelled like feet. The service was terrible. No input from the server whatsoever and mostly absent. There were a few comments from him that I wasn't sure if he was just naive about food service or completely rude. Tried remedied the situation with the manager but received a very indifferent response from him. The only redeeming factor was the food I ordered which was the Belgium burger and it was amazing which is why I left two instead of one stars. But great food is everywhere and we wanted an experience, a birthday night out, but we left in such a negative mood we have no reason to ever come back.

We just recently had a retirement party of 30 plus people here. I would not recommend having this size of a party here. First, the service was very poor. We only had one server at a time for the entire party. Second, we had to be sitting down at a table to order. Have you ever been in a social event in a bar or pub where everyone is sitting down!!! Third, having only one server at a time it took awhile to order and our food took a long time to be served. Lastly, at the end of the night they cut the entire party off of alcohol. We were not loud or making any scene at all. Because a few people in our party have had a few shots the entire party was cut off. I gave this a star since the food was good. Definitely will not recommend this place.

Good beer, decent food. The stuff they brew is pretty good for your average "trendy town brewpub" place. The food was pretty typical brewpub stuff. Belgian frites were great, mushroom pizza was not so great (as tempting as the menu description was). Not exceptional, but a good place to grab a beer.

We had our rehearsal dinner downstairs in the Craft room. Every last thing was PERFECT. My family raved about the food for weeks after the event. The staff was friendly, fast and could pour a mean drink! The atmosphere and decor were perfect! And all of this for AMAZINGLY reasonable prices! This is the best place to hold your next party!

Great fun place to party and chill grand reopening ready for all crowds great music and friendly staff

21+ nightclub scene in downtown royal oak, BRAND NEWLY renovated, VIP booths available open Friday & Saturday night only. Great djs & good vibes!

We came here to celebrate my cousins 21st birthday. We had VIP booked in advanced. When we get there we are shown to our "booth" and there's a party going on already in there. Staff sees them out as this was ours. This group of people were all Asian and I want to point that out because it is relevant. We are a group of mostly Chaldeans. A girl from the group starts to get loud with my group and she claims "whatever the cost is ill pay it! I'm not moving!" They leave with all of their decorations and go upstairs. About 15-20 min later the bouncers return to remove us from the VIP area and relocate us across the dance floor to another, much smaller "VIP" area. They claim they double booked and the other party booked earlier than us so they get the bigger room. I highly doubt that but we can't prove anything. They said they weren't going to charge us. We haven't even started leaving yet when all of the other party start coming back in all giving us looks like we did something wrong. The girl from before starts to use slurs and insults towards us like its our fault Craft double booked. In the smaller "VIP" we order drinks and some people drop $300 on bottle service all in all in less than 20 min my group spends about $600 on drinks. Some people start fighting on the dance floor and my cousin not knowing what's going on gets shoved by a bouncer so he shoves back. A few min later another bouncer comes over and throws him out for shoving the staff. At this point we've all had enough with this place and we all decide to leave. I shit you not it takes 5 bouncers and bar tenders to look for our waitress so we can get our credit cards back and close our tabs. The rest of the party left and went elsewhere. 40 min into looking for her she randomly comes back asking if we want more drinks. No one found her before I asked her for the cards back and checks. This was all a surprise to her. I will never be back at this unprofessional establishment. Screw this place.

This place used to be called Commune and is now Craft. Let me preface this by saying that I don't go out to bars/clubs all the time, but only on occasion and I didn't get anything to eat or drink here. I came to dance. That being said, if you like to dance under a wave of neon colored laser and disco lights to a DJ spinning hits and just enough fog to make you wonder if it's all a dream, then this is your place. The atmosphere is friendly (from what I saw for my first visit), fun, energetic, and upbeat. The people there just want to have a good time with friends and enjoy the evening. At around 10:45pm, the place was pretty empty. However, people started filing in at around 11:00pm - 11:30pm, and even more after midnight (my sister and I left at 12:30am). So if you're looking for that crowd, show up a little later. They have leather couches and private areas that can be reserved, a nice bar area that's pretty lit up so you can see what you're ordering, and they have security which is good to have any time large crowds and alcohol are involved. Security guys were pretty nice and helpful when I asked them questions. Bathrooms looked kept up and they have bathroom attendants on staff so you're not really ever alone in this place. Craft is located beneath the Bastone Brewery which I really liked because you can get away from the crowd and get a bite to eat or relax before going on your next adventure for the night - which for me was going back home. Make sure not to get there too late because you're going to wait in a long line. They have two lines- one inside of Bastone Brewery right at the head of the stairway that leads you down to Craft, and the other is the back entrance to Craft. Overall, this is a fun place to go out with friends and have a dance party. Nothing too crazy or wild - just spirited fun.

Seriously I've left three times now because the wannabe house music is so bad. If you want to dance don't go here. Kills yo vibe.

We were at Craft tonight and my son and daughter went up to the bar to get a drink. The Bouncer grabbed my son and told him that he needs to leave. Neither of them were drunk. He tried to explain, but he was shoved and dragged up the stairs. Horrifying experience!! My daughter told us afterwards that she had seen this happen to others here before. She called it targeting. None of us will ever go there again.

Called this place a few days ago to verify their age restrictions and they said it was 18+. I came here tonight and they would not let my friends in because they were 20 years old, however, they let my 19 year old brother in. Obviously their security guards don't know how to do math and their staff does not know enough about their own bar. After asking about the age restrictions again, a rude security woman came downstairs and asked a bunch of questions so we decided to leave. After heading out, we were deciding where to go and one of my other friends (who was over 21) went back into the restaurant upstairs (Bastone) to stand by the door because it was cold outside. The security woman from Craft then had the audacity to come upstairs and say that my friend needed to go stand outside and questioned her age for several minutes. Unbelievably rude. Overall, this place was horrible and I was only there for 5 minutes. Never stepping foot here again.

Nightlife is interesting, very busy but not too challenging to get a drink. Pricing is aligned with the area, nothing to write home about
