Tucked away off the beaten path in Detroit lies Motor City Brewing Works—a vibrant hidden gem that feels like your neighbor's cozy basement rec room where the drinks flow freely and the tunes never stop. As soon as I entered the colorful space adorned in classic rock memorabilia, I sensed the communal vibe from the mix of regulars belting Journey at the bar.
I settled into a vinyl booth with a couple locally-brewed hard ciders in hand as “Sweet Home Alabama” played faintly over the speakers, setting the mood perfectly for getting into the spirit of Motor City.
While I sipped, I dove into the menu of brick-oven fired pizzas which came highly recommended. The generously loaded options didn’t disappoint, But the true star that didn’t disappoint bar was the hot crab and Michigan Cidar paired with buttery toasted pita points.
Between the hidden location, handcrafted beers flowing, sing-along oldies soundtrack, and delicious grub, Motor City Brewing Works captures a distinctly Detroit vibe." I’ll definitely be making the trek back to get my fill of Motor City cheer and some of the best pizza I’ve tasted in the D!
