They have swag even!

This place is definitely a very cool place to come and hang out at! They have a very cool modern look and feel. The upstairs has a very cool bridge. The owners are super nice and friendly!! Unfortunately they don't have much to offer when it comes to food. They only offer chips. They definitely have some really cool drinks and even have mock tails as well. They offer their own kind of liquor and beer. I ordered an apple martini which was really good. We had a ladies event here and it was done really well! It's pretty spacious on the second floor. I also love the backdrop they have on the first floor right when you come in to take photos. I do wish they offered more for food. It's very cool place! It's centrally located in the best spot too! They even have board games upstairs that you can use to play with. They even host weddings and receptions here!! It's a really nice classy place to go kind of reminds me of a "Speak easy" kind of a place. The bartenders are very knowledgeable about their drinks and what to try and all too! I find that to be very helpful too! I will be back! If you haven't tried this out please come check it out!! It's a great place to go hang out with some friends and play a board game and get some really good drinks!

My husband and I visited Water Tower Distillery for the second time last night and had another wonderful experience. It wasn't very busy, so we chose to sit at the bar. Lee, the tasting room manager, was fabulous--he shared so much information about the liquors and the different drink options and was incredibly helpful. We truly enjoyed our time there. Kyle was playing music, which added a fun and relaxed vibe to the evening. We each had two drinks and loved every one of them. We can't wait to come back!

Delicious cocktails, very friendly staff, and overall fun atmosphere. I wish the had a couple more vodka cocktails, but the gin is very good!

We stopped by Water Tower Distilling and had an amazing time! Not only were the drinks great, the service was incredible, the folks were friendly and warm, and the space was good. We also brought home a bottle of one of their gins. Definitely don't sleep on them! We will be back.

I have never waited so long for a single beverage in my entire life. I'm really not sure what is happening

Hands down 10/10 experience. This place is amazing! Hands…read moredown the best place to eat in Ypsilanti! Trust me, I've been to nearly every food establishment here in Ypsilanti. The food is amazing. Please try to the burnt ends and brussel sprouts! The staff were amazing and we were lucky enough to meet the owner who was the most down to earth and made sure our experience was perfect from start to finish. The atmosphere is by far the most relaxing and upscale spaces I've been to in the greater Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor area.

Disappointing BBQ Experience We drove in from a few towns…read moreover, excited to try this spot because they're open late (until 11pm) and we were craving some solid BBQ. Unfortunately, it was a pretty disappointing visit overall. We ordered the DQ Pulled Pork and Brisket, and both came out cold with no flavor. The corn bread was okay, and the collard greens were surprisingly spicy -- not bad, just unexpected. We originally wanted the trifecta but they had already run out of ribs. So we went for two orders of burnt ends, expecting that rich, crispy texture. Instead, they were soft, smushy, and cold -- more like baby food than BBQ. Not good at all. The only standout dish was the corn cream cheese side -- warm, flavorful, and probably the best part of the meal. Also worth mentioning: the bartender was great -- super cool and clearly passionate. The place itself has a chill, loungey vibe, but it doesn't really feel like a true BBQ joint. Final thoughts: Burnt ends: Cold, soft, no bark -- total miss Pulled pork & brisket: Cold, bland Collard greens: Spicy, but decent Corn cream cheese: Delicious Vibe: Cool, but not very BBQ-ish Service: Bartender was the highlight Wish we could've had the food to match the energy. Hopefully they can tighten things up, especially on the basics.

I've dined at bellflower multiple times and I've only had great experiences at the restaurant. For…read morethis instance, I came to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. We were escorted to our table by our lovely host, and when we arrived at our table in the back of the restaurant, there was a cute "happy birthday" table card waiting for us. This was incredibly thoughtful and a nice touch for our celebration dinner. Also, I love how this restaurant is decorated - the art work, the furniture, and plants - all come together to create a welcoming, cozy, warm atmosphere for any dining experience. I also love how the menu continuously rotates and highlights fresh produce from local suppliers. We both ordered a different dish and shared, plus we had some leftovers, so the portions are very generous. We also tried some of the oysters with vinaigrette they were fresh and delicious. To conclude our dinner, we were gifted with a DELIGHTFUL banana pudding with a scoop of ice cream and a candle to make a wish (though our wish for a wonderful meal and dining experience was throughly satisfied already ) Thanks again for a great time bellflower!

I tried the seafood chowder at this restaurant. It was packed with rich seafood flavors from…read moreshrimp, oysters, scallops, and more. According to our server, it wasn't supposed to be spicy, but for someone like me who doesn't care for spicy food, it was definitely hotter than expected! It was also served piping hot, so I had to wait quite a while before I could eat it. By the time my guest finished their meal, I had only managed to eat about a quarter of my chowder, so I took the rest home. Rather than letting it go to waste, I rearranged it with a little yogurt to mellow out the spice. That did the trick! It turned into a creamy, milder chowder that suited my taste much better, and I really enjoyed it. If you enjoy a spicy gumbo-style seafood soup with plenty of rich seafood flavor, you'll probably love this one. But if you're sensitive to spice like I am, I'd recommend choosing something else or asking about the spice level before ordering! Sometimes a little kitchen creativity can turn a dish into something you truly enjoy. Our conversation was so much fun that I completely forgot to take photos!
