Always a fantastic time. Love the themes with the decor and special cocktails to match. Bar tenders are great and so if waitstaff. Ambiance is great with very cool lighting in the bathrooms. Drinks are always great. Never tried the food but the smells are fantastic. read more

We went right back to the 80s last night. Weiss got it all right - the music, the neon, the smoke machine. They themed it all the way and we loved it. Honestly, the cocktails were the least successful part. Overly sweet, overly tart, bourbon was not great. They are a distilling company and use their own spirits at the speakeasy bar. Personally, I think you are asking for trouble trying to make bourbon outside of Kentucky, but to each his own. Vodka was the best of the spirits we tried. Next month they are doing wild west theme...Giddyup! read more

Visiting Weiss Distilling's Halloweiss takeover in downtown Clawson was one of the most fun nights out I've had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was perfectly executed for the spooky season. The decor was next-level: skeletons, mugs shaped like skulls and spooky trees, spell-cloud ceiling details, flickering lights, and more! Our table was set with free snacking kettle and waters. The cocktails were creative and delicious! We got the Cabin in the Woods and Super Devil Juice. Both drinks came in a festive spooky tree mug! We ended the night with a yummy Weisscream Sandwich. The ice cream was from Ray's Ice Cream! I loved that a lot of the bites collaborated with local restaurants in the area! If you're looking for a bit of Halloween flair, Weiss Distilling Co. hits the mark. It's perfect for date night, a small group of friends, or even a fun stop before dinner in the area. Remember to make your reservations early! read more

This distillery is absolutely the coolest concept bar in my area. They switch up the theme every quarter/season or so. By this I mean an entire menu, glassware, and interior design makeover. It's impressive to say the least. I have only been to three concept so far: Haunted Weiss, Wild Weiss, and the current theme Miami Weiss. Parking is all street and is mostly, if not entirely, free in Clawson. I would recommend reservations, but I'm a fly by the seat of my pants gal. Walking in near opening at 5 has always yielded good results. I have only come here for drinks, but I feel like they do have some light food on the menu. Or used to. They do have a popcorn machine and will serve you bowl after bowl. You'll need it with their yummy cocktails. This team is a well oiled machine. Everyone behind the bar works together to give you the best experience. Tina, our bartender, was super nice and dressed to kill in her sweet sunnies and animal print jumper. I stuck with rum based drinks and was pleased with the Broken Yari and Cafe Con Ron. Unique, well balanced, and flavorful. Weiss makes all the booze they will serve you, so these drinks can't be had anywhere else. They have mocktails too. You will not be disappointed! It's not gimmicky or cheesy. It's like going to the best party where no detail was overlooked. read more

Weiss Distilling is a fun spot that has started doing a lot of pop ups over the past year. This time it was Miami Weiss. They did a great job and transforming everything back to 80s Miami! We had a blast and can't wait to check out the Halloween pop up. I do recommend reservations as it gets busy!!!! read more

We were able to check out the last few days of the summer theme, Miami Weiss. So freaking cool. Everything we had was delicious! So many cocktails to pick from. Amazing prices too!! All the bartenders were serving, so you never waited long for anything. The "Thank you for being a friend" was a key lime pie cheesecake type cocktail with a little piece of cheesecake as a garnish. So good! The atmosphere and vibe is so chill. Can't wait to come back to check out the Halloween set up! read more

I went here during their Halloweiss and the designs were insane!!! I recommend making a reservation for this ahead of time because my wait was 2 hours. Their drinks were really good but their apps that they served were kind of pricey. read more

The drinks here are absolutely amazing and so fun to look at and taste. They do a different theme every season and even allow you to purchase the cute cups that the drinks come in! The environment is very dimly lit but they do an extraordinary job with their decor. It is very difficult to get a reservation and people book months in advance. You are able to walk in but the seating is very limited. The service is nice and timely. The reason I give it a 4/5 is I wish they had more food options and more seating/availability. read more

I've been here several times and included collection of drinks and decor. I love how the drinks and decor changes throughout the year. The popcorn is a constant and delicious! Staff is friendly and helpful. Drinks all custom crafted in restaurant. Difficult to get a table reservation and they aren't bad about getting you in at the bar. If you're in the are, definitely drop in and put your name in so after dinner you can have a cocktail after. When there in November- had a "waiting" area upstairs with popcorn, premade cocktails, and you can watch a movie. This was a nice start to our evening as we waited for our table to eat and then get into the mail bar downstairs. read more

Recently visited Weiss on a Saturday night with my cousins and it was such an amazing experience! The service was attentive, the drinks were great (The Midnight Rider was probably the best espresso martini I've ever had!), and the rotating theme was so much fun! Highly recommend trying this place out, but be sure to grab a reservation as the place was packed! read more

Clawson has some great spots, but Weiss brings a level of sophistication that's hard to beat. I ordered a cocktail made with their organic vodka and a splash of their house made syrups, and it was perfectly balanced, not too sweet, just right. The attention to detail, from the scientific distilling equipment you can see to the hand-labeled bottles, is impressive. It feels like a high-end Detroit spot but with small-town hospitality. read more

We came for the 'Weiss on Ice' winter theme and it was magical! The decor is always 10/10, but the drinks are the real star. I'm usually picky about gin, but their award-winning craft gin (Straitjacket) is so botanical and fresh. I love that they have a huge craft cocktail menu with unique ingredients you don't see everywhere. Also, don't sleep on the bathroom, it's the best selfie spot in Michigan, hands down. read more

I've lived in Oakland County for years, and Weiss is easily my favorite spot for craft cocktails. The entrance through the elevator is such a cool touch! I tried a drink featuring their organic vodka, and you can really taste the quality difference. Plus, knowing they use house made syrups and hand-cut ice makes every sip feel like an experience. Definitely a must-visit if you're looking for a moody, intimate atmosphere. read more

We stopped by on whim last Thursday night. You can make reservations ahead of time but we didn't since we saw they had a ton of reservation times left for 7/8. You're greeted at the door by a host and she took us to the bar through the back of the elevator. My friend who lives in Clawson told me they will change up the drinks and theme for a new pop every so often. The theme we got was Miami Vice aka Miami Weiss. The drinkware was adorable and the drinks were pretty good. They have free popcorn that they just kept refilling for us. The music was a good mix of old pop hits and new pop hits. You exit through as separate door into an adjacent courtyard. read more

I have passed by this place hundreds of times, and never really thought to go hear until I was out in Clawson for dinner. We tried to walk in and this is not the way to go. The hostess was very nice but told use we were told that the wait would be a hour. We decided to try our luck and put our names on the list while getting a drink at another place. It only ended up being a half hour. Before letting us in, the had us wait in their merch area and they had wide assortment of fun drinking vessels and bottles of their booze. Once taken inside, I was struck by the efforts that went into the decoration, which apparently changes by season. The atmosphere was hip yet fun. I tried one drink with chorizo infused bourbon and it tasted like drinking a sausage and another one that came with a sprig of rosemary and served in a gingerbread man. Maybe not a place I would go to all the time, but seems like a good place for a date or night cap. Will go again next season to see the decor. read more

I've had my eye on this place for a while, but it is TOUGH to get into. I had to make reservations for December back in October. It's a very, very cool spot. We ordered a few drinks from the special menu, and we loved each of them! Will be back soon! read more

Weiss has quickly become one of my favorite cocktail bars in all of metro Detroit. I won't focus too much on any one specific drink as they change their menu (and entire decor!) seasonally, but everything I've had has ranged from decent to absolutely delicious. More on ambiance: feels like a great spot for a date but also a cool place to hang out with a group of friends. It's small yet intimate, and the seasonal themes are fun -- current theme is "Miami Weiss" and it definitely gave some tropical vibes. Service is always friendly and on the quicker side for a craft cocktail bar. I also like that they make actual recommendations rather than give vague "oh I like both of those" type of answers. read more

This was my first time coming here and it wasn't bad, but didn't stand out either. They do make some really impressive drinks that are well thought out and delicious. The bartenders clearly know what they're doing. That said, the ambiance wasn't quite my style. The space felt a bit too small and dimly lit. The layout made it feel somewhat cramped. If you're mainly focused on quality drinks, it's definitely worth a visit. If you're looking for a more open or relaxed atmosphere, it might not be the best fit. read more

Weiss offers such a romantic, mysterious and cozy atmosphere with speakeasy vibes. Their craft cocktails are harmoniously out with unique house-made spirits and mixers. Jake was so friendly and attentive. He is a master at what he does and will come up with a fun concoction if you suggest to him what you like!

Wow! This place was worth the drive for us! Although we don't live in the area, we love themed pop-up and had to try Halloweiss. With reservations already booked up, we got there early and nabbed a few bar seats. The decorations and barware were top-notch! It really put us into the Halloween mood. There were so many drinks to choose from and we enjoyed the all the ones we tried. The free popcorn was a nice touch and they are very generous with it. We had such a great time that we can't wait to go back for Weiss on Ice! read more

This has been one of our favorite date night spots. The people are great! You'll never get better service...friendly great recommendations based on your tastes. You can order off the menu, or you can ask for a "Dealers Choice"...tell the server your taste oreferences and which base alcohol to use (gin, vodka, whiskey, etc.). The dealer's choice is my go to because it's a new experience every time. The bartenders are very creative and I've never been disappointed. read more

Reservations strongly recommended. There is a medium parking lot behind, and limited street parking. You enter into a medium space selling their liquor and items like glasses and cups. We went for the Halloween themed experience and drinks. You enter by passing through a faux elevator and into the large bar and side benches/tables. They serve their popcorn, there are some things like charcutier and caviar to purchase. On our visit everything was 100% Halloween, from the room being maxed out, to the staff wearing some Halloween things, to the drinks themselves and drink cups. It is loud inside, more so when the soundtrack from The Crow is playing. read more

If you want to impress someone, take them here. The 'secret' entrance leads into a gorgeous, glowing bar area. We shared a flight to taste the small-batch bourbon and the award-winning craft gin, and both were stellar. You can tell they don't use any additives in their spirits. It's clear they put a lot of love into their craft cocktails. Pro tip: make a reservation on Resy because this place fills up fast even on weeknights! read more

I previously left a 2 star review after a bad experience with 1 of the bartender/hostess and the owner offered personally made it up to us. We went to do so but bad road conditions had other plans so we were unable to go, but we do plan to go back in the future and have a great time like we had always previously enjoyed. read more

Finally made it into Weiss and I'm kicking myself for waiting so long. Their small-batch bourbon (Blind Cut) is exceptionally smooth, perfect for sipping neat or in an Old Fashioned. The bartenders really know their stuff and explained the whole grain-to-glass process they use. It's rare to find a place that balances a 'cool' theme with such serious, high-end distilling. Grab a bottle from the retail shop on your way out! read more

Went during "Halloweiss". The Halloween theme in the place is amazing. All cocktails have a theme and tiki mug associated to Halloween (see my pics for examples). The cocktails are phenom. The waitstaff was even better. Very attentive to the table ensuring nobody was ever without a drink. Highly recommend reservations during October as this is small establishment and have limited seating area. NOTE: all the drink tiki's are for sale for $20 if you want to purchase read more

Ambiance was fantastic, we went during "Miami Weiss" and loved all the neon lighting and disco balls. The variety of drinks was amazing! I think I had a vodka, gin and aquavit cocktail. Only bummer is that you only have 90 mins per reservation. Luckily, there were able to accommodate us for an additional 2 hours. I also ordered one drink that I particularly didn't care for, the waitress made it right and made me a new drink at no cost. Thanks!!! read more

Forced Payment and Possible Discrimination I had a terrible experience here. Due to my expired ID ( even I showed the validated ID with photo), I couldn't order alcohol, which I accepted. However, after switching drinks with my friend (ID is validated but she is driver and sentensive to almond inside of drink she ordered), the manager accused us of breaking rules, ask us to leave and forced us to pay an unexpected 22% gratuity. No sign no label and no communication before we asked. The whole process is kind of full of white arrogance. The waiter only checked our IDs and ignored others. I felt unfairly targeted, possibly because our driver's licenses were from out of state or due to discrimination of ethnicity. This treatment was unprofessional and unacceptable. Leave my lasting night at Detroit with depression. With all of this unfriendly, unprofessional, disrespectful experience, I do not recommend this place. read more

Unique bar with a fabulous and fancy ambiance. Very cool place to go on date night, with a good friend or someone visiting the area. Dark and mildly lighting with a disco ball light the area. Fun wallpaper and good music. They offer a range of modern and intricate cocktails made with their own spirits. They also have mock tails. Bartenders are attentive. The place is not huge, I do not recommend going in a group larger that 3-4. read more

If darkness is your ally, this is your spot! There are tiny little lamps at each table but the whole place makes you rethink your vision. The drinks were very good! It's broken up in five sections; Vodka, gin, rum, Weiss lightning and absinthe. Each person in our group got something different. I got the ambition, which was a rum cocktail. It was really good. The whole place had a weird smell that made me a bit uneasy the whole time. Outside of that, if you manage to just focus on the drinks, it's a pretty cool spot. read more
