I love the food and the beer selection here. We live about 45 minutes away, but we visit monthly and always enjoy the food.

First time visiting, it's easy to find and lots of parking. Parking is behind the pub, employee entrance is in the "front." We were here in December so the patio wasn't open but looks roomy with many picnic tables. We opted to sit at the bar because that's usually where we get personal with brew pubs we love to discover. We always search local brews when traveling and 9/10 times the bartender will greet us, ask if we've been there, make recommendations or tell us a bit about the brewery style. Not here. I'm not sure the bartender ever even made eye contact and pretty sure he wanted to be there even less than he wanted us to be there. We did get a few beer samples by request, but no recommendations, he didn't ask what we thought and he made us feel very unwelcome right from the start. However, once that bartender was relieved the new bartender was chatty and friendly to the new customers. We had finished our beers and meal by that time and just needed to cash out. So I would say maybe it's just that one employee. We had the pretzels. Kudos to the pretzel bread-- it was delicious. Beer cheese was pretty good, as was the mustard. We asked about the menu and what he recommends (still trying to be friendly and get him to warm up). He recommended the special menu, so we ordered the Blackened Salmon sandwich. It was okay/average. Fries were cold. We ordered the Table Talk beer and I enjoyed it. I'd say that the beer was the best part of the whole experience. Overall I'm glad we tried it but we wouldn't go back. If the bartender had been more welcoming and interested in sharing a bit more about the concept, we would give it a second try when we head out there again. It's always good to try other food items and beers, but the vibe doesn't warrant a second try. I can understand if a place is busy, but we were there at 2pm on a Saturday and were two of four at the bar and he didn't look to be super busy with the restaurant as a whole. It's always so disappointing when service falls so short on something that could be such a unique experience. Three stars for the beer and pretzel. read more

They have a big parking lot in the back! They do check your IDs before you enter, so don't forget to bring yours! We sat at a booth and it was comfy. Ordered the Fish cod sandwich with garlic fries. I was expecting garlic sauce but it was garlic powder seasoning. It was good though. My husband got the tofu banh mi (it was a tad too sour from too much pickles) and liked it. We ordered using the QR code but when trying to close the bill out, it had an error. So we had to pay at the counter. read more

We've been there a couple times and it's a nice spacious historic place. It's a great place to try a few beers. We always snag a booth which has a nice cushion on them with significant space between booth and table. With all the windows it's brighter and around 4pm on the weekend there are some groups with families, people working and bored games. It did not seem too loud in there either. Tip: It doesn't really have table service--rather they have a code for the booth and you can order everything off your phone. They'll bring the food and drinks to you, but you have to get the water (warmish) at the bar and put your plates away. Tip Tip: Before you get in they require IDs, if you are under age/ don't have one you can still sit inside but not outside. From the few times I've gone we always get the nachos, I thought they were pretty delicious. read more

Upshot is it took over an hour for my food to arrive. When the server brought my husband's dinner, she noted that mine was still coming, but I think that just meant she didn't take up the number. 45 minutes later, I asked a server if anything was happening with mine. This is where the rating really drops. When she checked on it, they had her tell us "gluten free takes longer" and "it will be out in 5-7 minutes". It turns out that meant they had completely forgotten my order. Maybe fifteen minutes later, someone who maybe was higher up came out and said the gluten free crust was frozen, he was sorry, but it was coming and "I'll take care of it." Since I expected a pizza, but got a guy telling me he was taking care of my pizza, I wasn't sure what to do with that information. We were way past the comp-the-pizza threshold, and at least could have used a round of beers on the house. Even just saying "whoops" instead of making stuff up would have helped. It did teach me never to add a tip to the bill on ordering. And that there are other places to sit and have a beer on a summer evening. read more

We come here exactly once a year with the same friends - usually for a game night. The space here is fairly spacious and easy parking (they have 2 parking lots -- FYI: the front parking is bigger than the back parking lot) I haven't found a beer that I love or can't live without here and their food is just OK (do get the CRISPY BRUSSELS SPROUTS - Thai Sweet Chili Sauce, Fresno Chilis, Peanuts, Green Onion, Cilantro - though), but the service is always great and it's honestly a great space for groups - adults and kiddos alike. Since they own Session Room now - I'm usually over there since there are more tap options!! read more

For an establishment that tries to be overtly inclusive, the staff at Arbor Brewing Company was extremely rude to my party, which included 4 adults and 6 children. Between my friends and I, our children are extremely well-behaved, yet the staff at Arbor Brewery commented 3 times about our children's behavior, and twice about children from other families. The staff complained about children playing peacefully with the little rocks on the patio, children paying with dirt, children's foot ware, etc. The staff was not friendly when they approached us, and one waitress even rolled her eyes at us. Anyway, the children tonight were just being sweet little children, who were accompanying parents that desperately need a night out. I'm so disappointed in the way we, and other parents were treated tonight. I've felt that the staff at Arbor Brewing Company was a little rude in the past, but tonight was the most hurtful it's ever been. read more

Had a great time with friends during their trivia night. Pro tip - I would get here a little earlier before trivia starts to snag a good spot to view the trivia screen. The food was great. We ordered nachos, cookies, and the stout cake. All of them were deliciously warm and hit the spot as we snacked on them throughout trivia. There is a wide selection of beer. I didn't get to try any of them this time but am looking forward to trying them on my next visit. Service was efficient. We waited maybe 5-10 minutes for each of the dishes we ordered. There's also a great outdoor patio/backyard in the back for folks to enjoy their drinks with their group at. Will definitely be back! read more

Came on a rather hot Saturday. They have indoor and outdoor seating. It was pretty warm on the inside. You can order AND pay using the QR code on the table or take the menu up to the bar. I like this aspect but it also takes away the convenience of being able to ask questions right at your table or correct incorrect orders. The food was really delicious and the service is quick. The garlic fries aren't anything spectacular. I believe they just sprinkle garlic powder on them. We paid for it with both orders and only received it on one. If you enjoy beer or ciders and a good pub style meal, I would suggest you give it a try. read more

I like this brewery, but I liked it better when it had different beers than Arbor brewing Company. I do really enjoy their food. Their wings are phenomenal. This place is self serve or you can scan the barcode and order off your phone which is super convenient they also have a super nice patio for the summertime. I will be back again. read more

Not very many parking spots but more parking on the street. You have to wait to be seated but you order at the counter and you either pick up your food or they bring it out. You also bus your own table. Pretty laid back place. Lots of board games there or bring your own. There's also a beer garden in the summer. Plus, a beer club that you can join for $50/ year. The cool part is you get to design your mug, which they keep there for you. Ordered the vegan chili and fish and chips. The chili was really hardy and pretty good. The batter on the fish was light but the fish was a tad dry. The fries were pretty good. I also had the chocolate stout cake - it was the size of a cupcake for $7! Tasted good but not worth the price. read more

Well my mom wanted to stop for drink/food once i picked her up from the airport - this was my selection. Sunday crowd vibe wasn't bad - even with a small parking lot i was still able to find a spot. Honestly from the look of the building you would think there are two entrance but there's only one which is on the side near the parking lot. I was carded (with my "young looking face") before entering - was offered with options of paper menu or to use QR code. Since i was with my mom - we took paper. Let start off by saying - if you're aren't familiar with QR code not sure if things would go smoothly which i'm thinking about elderly people but i just helped read off the menu. It didn't help my mom left her glasses in the car. (old person smh). Placed our orders - yes you need a plastic card to submit your order because there's no one coming to take your order; severs are only delivering your food and/or drinks. Food was very good and you got a good amount - as of other reviewers stated wine is limited but beer is more popular. I like the option of 4oz pours which range from $2 to $3.50. Would i come back? Sure. Side note - it seems like was here back in 2013 and totally forget but never did a review. Lol! Happy Eating!!! read more

I had the TOFREUBEN - VEGAN 'Corned' Tofu with Sauerkraut, Vegan 1000 Island Dressing, & Vegan Cheese on Rye Bread Sadly, I wanted to be impressed, but wasn't. I thought the tofu would have been thinner and more tastier. Very bland with a spoonful of sauerkraut and the bread was barely grilled. It came to me all limp and soggy with no taste -- for 15.00 and I had to purchase the fries separately read more

Loved the service, however the food was awful! I'm vegan and a friend and I ordered the spice balls and their temptation burger. Both were not hot when they came out, but the temperature of something that's been sitting out for 20 minutes. The pretzel bun for the burger tasted old, and the patty was so dry with little sauce. The meatballs didn't taste spicy and the sauce was just cold marinara ragú sauce. We ordered the grilled vegetables as a side and they weren't worth $3 in comparison to the $1.50 fries because there just weren't many vegetables. I'm not sure how their non-vegan food is but it seems like everything is just overpriced frozen food, we felt seriously disrespected by the terrible food :/ read more

Stopped in after work and was in need of a good beer and some good food. I love that they now let you order from your table via QR code and you can pay via your phone so there's no hassle of trying to flag down someone to pay. Water is self-serve by the bar as well as to-go boxes. i ordered an apricot sour which was crisp and delicious. For food, I ordered the vegan burger and fries. The pros are that I love a good vegan burger that's made with a homemade patty of quinoa and beans. The con is that it fell apart and they kind of messed up my order because I had wanted a vegan bun but got a pretzel bun. But flavors were pretty good and the fries are always crispy and never soggy! read more

Well two years later and this is still the best brewpub in Washtenaw County! It is not easy to find a brewpub with great beer and great food. These people knock it out of the park. In addition, it is nice to find the staff always so friendly and engaging. A special acknowledgement to Amanda and Kelly who were absolutely delightful when I was there last week. read more

I had the week off and was on a mission to collect some tags. I have been here before but sadly I lost about 30 tags that I was originally collecting back in 2015-16. So I have had to return to a lot of places to get my tags. Knowing me, and my disorganized chaos, I will find all the tags I lost, but not until I re-collect them. It's sort of the story of my life. Anyway this entire week has been absolutely gorgeous and this day was no exception! Spring has sprung. I love Michigan but hate being cold, so this was the perfect location to go sit outside and enjoy the weather, a cold beer and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I chose to take a Lyft there, because I could "solemnly swear that I was up to no good"! The Lyft driver could not figure out where to drop me off. The parking lot is in the back and that is where you'll go to enter the building. There is a huge outdoor area to enjoy and you can order on your phone right from the table. There is also a huge indoor area. If you prefer. Got picked up and we were off to get some ypsi tags! I am pretty sure we will be back (even though the lyft there cost me over $200... Thankfully I didn't have to take one home!). If you're in the area, check it out! read more

I have been to the Arbor brewing several times, and while the beer is good, the staff are often short and rude. For a Friday night the bar was basically empty and everyone taking drink orders acted as though they couldn't get rid of us fast enough. Very disappointed and will not be returning. read more

The best part of Corner is definitely their flexibility with the beergarden and indoor seating space. Playing board games or deckbuilders here with buddies & ordering drinks, whether thats a daytime caffeine-verage or a little something sweeter, it's a good time. recommended spot. not perfect for every mood, but very good. read more

First time coming here. I was in the area and I wanted to definitely try something new and I am so happy I came here. For one this place has both great indoor and outdoor seating. I chose outdoor seating. With covid running rampant, they have intergrated this great system (powered by Toast (not literally Toast but an app with the name)) I placed any of my orders seamlessly, kept a tab open, let's me reorder the same thing without digging through the menu. Close your tab without issues! Their vegan burger was great, the prices are very fair, I really recommend their " lil fram" drink . They got plenty of drink varieties though I'd wish they have some Cider options. Parking is great as well. I'd definitely recommend coming back here. You should definitely try this place out. read more

The patio, surrounded by trees, created a delightful ambiance, and the best part was, we didn't feel the heat at all. Ordering through the app was super convenient, and the service was lightning-fast. The added perk of free parking made things even better, and it was a relief to find that it was kid-friendly. With an extensive selection of beers, there was something for everyone. The food was delicious and the restrooms were clean. If the weather didn't cooperate, the indoor seating was equally fantastic. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I can't wait to visit again! read more

I gave up waiting for my food after one hour and running out of time. When I asked the staff (30 minutes in) I was told pretty unapologetic;y that suddenly these regular trivia people showed up and overwhelmed the kitchen. After I ordered? Anyhow, my food did not come after the additional 15 minutes that was advertised then or 30 minutes and I had to leave. Good beer, nice beer garden, but if you are hungry and don't haven more than an hour to spend, don't go here. read more

I would give this place a 3.5 but that being said, I would love to come back and hang out here again. I like how big the tasting room is and that they have the 4 ounce flight pours with no minimum. I am a fan of small tastes. You can either order on your phone or at the bar. Arbor Brewing has some good beers, but honestly, not my top choice for beer, but I do like getting the Strawberry Blonde every year. I think that is their best flavor. We tried about five beers, the strawberry is still my favorite. They are all good, very drinkable, not too crazy with the flavors. The food was fair. The best overall was the meat pizza flatbread. The chicken sandwich was supposed to be a bit spicy, but it was very mild and a bit over fried and dry. The burger was supposed to be medium well but was well-done and had a char, a bit dry, but overall not too bad. The burger did stand up to the next day leftover challenge and proved to have a good overall flavor. It was seasoned nicely. The fries were very soggy and the garlic fries for an upcharge just had garlic powder on them, and not anything worthy of an upcharge. The ranch was good, but did not taste like ranch, maybe it was dill forward or had like a goat milk flavor. Nothing was bad. The people who worked here were very friendly, cordial, and knowledgeable. We over all had a good time. I like the space and corner bar vibe that was cool for friends to hang and also families. I would try it again if I were in the area. read more

Corner Brewery is the best! The patio/beer garden is the spot in the warmer months. The food is so solid and they have weekly specials. One of my favorite dishes is the falafel wrap. It contains the best falafel, hummus, red onion, garlic Mayo, and fries!! All wrapped up in a grilled tortilla with a pickle spear. And it's vegan! Pro tip: Add feta if you want a little something extra. Corner Brewery has one of the best patios in Ypsilanti! Service is good and Corner offers such good vibes. Such a cool spot, great elevated bar food, and healthy vegetarian/vegan options. read more

I am usually a big fan and advocate of Corner, as they are in my neighborhood and have always had good food and service. I had not been for a while and went last night for dinner and was very disappointed. We ordered a Happiness Pizza and a Little Red Hen Sandwich with garlic fries. The pizza was very basic. Pepperoni and some Italian seasoning. Very greasy. It was like a school lunch pizza, but not the good square kind. The bad kind. The sandwich was almost ok. I paid $2 to get Gouda cheese on it and when I lifted the bun there was a tiny pinch of some kind of shredded cheese? Not even a slice. When I got to the thicker part of the chicken breast it had not been cooked all the way through. The "garlic fries" were regular fries sprinkled with garlic powder. I really used to love Corner as an off the beaten path local brew pub with excellent food, but unfortunately I am not feeling the need to go back any time soon if ever. read more

Simply put...wide variety of VERY GOOD beer and VERY GOOD food! Great service and nice vibe!

Everything that I wrote in my previous review is still true. We had another pleasant lunch outside here on a very hot day. We got the special veggie flatbread and a Greek salad. And we topped it off with the banana cake with caramel sauce. Believe me, it is delicious even if it sounds like it might not be. read more

Before I even get to how the staff here were all rock stars this weekend, let me say that this place is consistently great. Beer and food are delicious and the staff is always fun. Grab your friends and family for a night of board games and good vibes. Now let's get to the good part. We got married there this past Sunday and everything was perfect. The space was prepared, the kitchen was on point, putting out the food on time and was delicioua. Lastly, when the skies opened up, the whole staff moved so fast getting the guests and food inside immediately, rearranging the back space with tables and chairs so that eve could sit down, eat, and stay dry. I can't thank them enough for a perfect day! read more

We had a great time at the Corner Brewery last Saturday. It does fill up, but we stopped in around 6pm and there was still plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. You can order from your phone at your table (via QR code online), but they do have paper menus available for those that would rather order at the bar/not mess with their phones. We tried one of their specials, a pesto turkey wrap, along with their soft pretzels and a Reuben. We tried their garlic fries, and honestly they were the only miss for us (just garlic powder, but all sides are an extra charge), but the rest of the food was delicious. All of the food items were fresh and hot. Service was 5/5 with quick delivery to the table. I also tried their cherry cider and it's probably along my favorite of the local fruity ciders- crisp and sweet without being overly tart. Lots of board games to choose from if you wish to stay and play/chat with friends. Lovely warm, wooden interior with plenty of shade in the outdoor beer garden. read more

Food is great but prices high ( maybe it's the cost of food )) considering you order and pay online and pack away your dishes . The outdoor area is eclectic and relaxing with a nice vibe but would recommend the business cleaning tables before opening ..

I had a great time eating here. I have been craving poutine and my regular local places stopped carrying it (they claimed due to COVID--not sure exactly how/why but that was what they said). Consequently, this was a "must" during a visit in this area. Very clean and following the necessary precautions to make me feel safe while still enjoying a meal out. My poutine was absolutely delicious. I almost never finish a meal when I go out but I devoured this. Would recommend! read more

This is a pretty neat place! I had no idea it was even here!! I loved how we were able to find seats at the bar so quickly. I had the strawberry blonde, it's been a few years since I've had it but, wow, I forgot how yummy it was! My food on the other hand, I was less than impressed with (hence the 4 stars). I LOVE pulled pork, but this stuff had a hint of that cheap sloppy joe taste to it! Which I am not a fan of at all, so that really bummed me out. Service was pretty good, took a bit longer to get our food and check than we expected, but nothing to complain too much about! I'm sure we will be back again, I'll just have to try something different for dinner! read more

My wife Rennee and I had a wonderful time this past afternoon at your brewery! The food was delicious, the beer amazing, the igloo and service impeccable. We drove from Kalamazoo and picked up some pint glasses, some of the Rainbow, became a member of the Keg Owner club, and brought home our 1/6th keg of Huron Haze. Great food and beer selection and felt very comfortable outside in the igloo with all the protocols being followed for patrons and employees. Well worth the 2 hr drive! Bravo! read more

After the Ypsilanti beer festival, festival-goers are craving food. Nobody understands this better than the Corner Brewery, who had a veritable assembly line set up for people wanting to grab food. The space itself is large, and was probably and old warehouse at one time, what with the high ceilings, concrete floor, and large windows. We entered and were quickly told how best/quickest to get service: sidle up to the bar and order one of their post-festival survival bites (the foods that could be cooked the most quickly). After a short wait, I placed an order for chicken tenders, grabbed a number, and joined my friends at our table to wait for my food. It must have been only 3 minutes later that my tenders arrived. Not your garden variety tenders, these had large, juicy cuts of chicken with a crunchy breading, all with a creamy buttermilk ranch sauce for dipping. Normally one to wait for my friends, I couldn't help devouring my tenders before their food arrived-- it was that good! A festive atmosphere prevailed and we enjoyed our last moments together after the festival. I'll look forward to my next trip to the Corner Brewery, and it's one you should check out as well! read more

Corner Brewery frequently falls off of my radar because it's just a few blocks outside of Depot Town. Recently, though, I've been twice and both times I was blown away. The food seemed better than I remembered, and they have decent wine choices. The "order at the bar and take a number" style isn't my favorite, but the line seemed to move quickly and my food came out in a short amount of time. Check the events calendar, as it does tend to get quite noisy, but when you do go, make sure to get the Thai chili brussel sprouts - THEY ARE SO ADDICTING! read more

Good beer and cider, there are some wines, too. Friends had food, Fries looked great as did the corned beef sandwich and cheese pizza. The outside seating is spacious-picnic tables, benches, igloos. One note: do not be fooled that just because there is an outside Biergarten that it's good for kids. I can only say this place is semi-tolerant of kids, not good for kids. If you bring kids they are required to stay at your table. I had let my two kids walk around to gather pine cones. This was between 5 and 6 pm; it was not busy; yes-some of the other kids were running and loud, so another parent and I corralled them to the back area). This was not well received; I was told kids had to stay at the table-not wander anywhere else. If I go here with kids again it will only be mine, who I can keep in line. It's tough to be on this moment where COVID cases are low and people with kids too young to be vaccinated can kind of venture out, but there's almost no where to go if you have kids and want to be outside. We only came out to this place today because it was a fundraiser for meals on wheels and we knew there was outdoor seating. In hindsight, we really should have stayed home and just donated to meals on wheels. If I go here with kids again it will only be mine, who I can keep in line. read more

I came here with my family after we finished moving me into my apartment and it was exactly what we needed. A chill space, good beer, and great food options. We ordered our first beers at the bar but the rest of the night we ordered with our phones from our table. So easy and quick! We got the nachos for the table, I got a pulled pork sandwich and my parents got a flatbread. It was all sooo good, I could eat the nachos for every meal. There was plenty of seating, we sat inside but the outside looked nice too. Just wish dogs were allowed but it's definitely a great spot! read more
