Copper Hop Brewing Company — Restaurant in Saint Clair Shores

I was sad to see Vitamin Village leave this spot, but having Copper Hop take its place has been amazing and by far my favorite brewery and establishment in the Shores. The brewery is very spacious, ample parking, and there are two outdoor patios to enjoy. The best part of the outdoor space is that it's located on Greater Mack, so there is so much less noise from the road as opposed to the other breweries in the area. I litterally feel at peace being here. The atmosphere and decor is definitely my jam and taste. The seating is extremely comfortable. I will leave other breweries and my legs will feel bruised the next day because the seating is not like what this place offers. Even when this place is busy, it's still easy enough to chat with your party and not have to yell over the noise. The music is always on point no matter what time of day you stop in! The employees are efficient, caring and friendly. They don't make you feel unwelcome ever. Not only all of this, but their beers, wines and ciders are seriously some of the best. I normally stick to ciders and wow, never had one yet I didn't like. They do not taste artificial and you know they are using real ingredients and not flavorings to change it up. They actually listen to their patrons too and take up suggestions. We suggested Raquel's Cocina (YUM) one time after we had went to another brewery where their food truck was and then came to Copperhop to drink. We raved about them to the staff and not long after, they have been having Raquel's foodtruck frequent their place. My boyfeand & I also just joined their mug club that is rolling out, so we are super excited for it! If you looking for a nice atmosphere, friendly people and great tasting drinks, this is the place to be. Hands down. Give it a try. You...

Metro Detroit Brewery Discovery Tour stop # 29 (?). I like this place. The vibe is cool, relaxing. The main space is large with two separate outdoor seating areas. The south-facing area has several umbrellas for shade plus a covered area for less clement weather, I assume. The east-facing area is smaller but completely covered and has a heater to boost itsusuable time. 3 garage doors make the 2 sides & indoors one big space under the right conditions. Then there is the other side. Accessed thru a door, it has its own outside space as well, also on the east side, also with a garage door. (Both spaces face Greater Mack for the directionally challenged.) The bar is big, spanning two sides of the indoor space. For those in wheelchairs, the access from the huge rear parking area is easy. The lot is smooth, the interior floor is, as well. The only bump, literally, is the threshold and it's only about 1/2". Relatively smooth sailing, I venture. The music is a touch too loud with 10 people here on a Saturday afternoon. Good, but loud. Once more people arrived, say 25, the ambient noise got off the scale and the music is almost indiscernable. Despite the mid-80s temperature, I had to retreat to the quieter outside to avoid an impending headache. The beer is solid though of the six I had none were actual standouts. No food truck seen. But there are several...

Of all the great choices of breweries in the Metro Detroit area Copper Hop is by far my favorite! The atmosphere is warm and inviting. I have been going to the brewery since they opened (pre COVID) and have NEVER had a bad experience. The outside patio is great when the weather is nice. Every time I'm treated very well by staff. The service is amazing, and the beers are out of this world! I love that Copper Hop always has a wide range of beers to choose from (not all IPAs!!!). They also have ciders and wines for those who aren't big fans of beer. I feel comfortable taking my kids here for dinners when they have a food truck, more so in the summer when we can sit outside. Oh and the food trucks that come are all amazing as well! Of course I love that on nights/afternoons when they don't have food trucks you can bring your own food with you! Overall a brewery worth checking out if you're in the area. You'll want to have more than just...
