Implying, if not all out insisting on commenting on the sexual orientation of a waiter is out of line. If his performance was bad, which it obviously was, don't hesitate to detail it. Leave the screaming queen references out. It implies you have no business giving a review. Obvious bias is makes for a poor reviewer if not an ignorant human being.

Bonfire Closed on 3/23. Never had the greatest service but the beer was usually quite good.

Good beer selection, I think five regulars on tap and one seasonal, (I was hoping for the barleywine but it wasn't out yet) they may have had a cask conditioned but the waitress didn't mention it. The Red Ale and the Vienna Lager were very good but the Stout was awesome. Very creamy, sweet, great for dessert.
I liked the menu, typical fare but also several unique items. The pretzels with cheese is a great starter, and the steak sandwich was very tasty, potatoe pancakes intead of bread was an excellent idea.
The only negative points would be the kids menu was a bit pricey and the drink specials are only available in the loung area. I guess next time, I'll leave the kids a home and sit in the lounge. Enjoy!

I was a little disapointed having been to Grand Rapids brewing company (owned by the same company)
however, still not a bad place with decent beer and food. We had the wood-fired pizza, and Could have done more with the theme.

NIce atmosphere, reminds of any pub / brewery corporate concept. Food was old favorites with a few twists. Try the Mac and Cheese with truffle oil. Burgers are very good. Prices are reasonable. Two with a drink each should be about $35.00 - $45.00 for entres, drinks, tax and tip.

A fine establishment just off I-275 @ 7 Mile rd. about 10 miles west of Detroit. Upscale-looking, yet warm & relaxing, interior. Excellent food & drink menu at reasonable prices. There's something for everyone & anyone.

I went in on a tuesday evening and dissappointed to find they were out of the porter. I tried the bitter and the seasonal IPA. The IPA was flavorful but left almost no after taste. I did enjoy it's smooth finish more than I first thought I would.
This has an upscale feel but the prices are very reasonable. I will return to try the porter.

I'm replying to Mike R, Zionsville, IN's comment that the porter "was watery". The porter that they serve at bonfire won First place in the country at the real ale festivle in chicago. It was not watery, it was a medium bodied porter with a nice hoppy flavor. A very good beer.

Very upscale atmosphere, although it felt comfortable at lunch. I only tried two beers - their "seasonal" Dunkel-Weizen (average at best) and a decent Cask Red Ale. It might be just me, but I swear that my lunch (and my wife's) had a definite Gordon Food Service feel to it. On the positive side, the service was quite good - efficient without being obtrusive.

Has satellite music, but too low for atmosphere. Great IPA, Bitters, and Stout. Food above average, but prepared hit and miss: I sent an entree back twice, then left. Happy hour deals are great, very low number of smoking clientele for area. Let's get smoke free!!! Kill popups and nagware, idiot!

While it is a little trendy inside for me some of the beer is very good. They have two Cask ales. The Bitter on cask was outstanding. The other beers were solid. You know when a place has cask brew that they take is seroius. When you first walk in you think that the beer might be secondary. But it is not. Keep up the good work.

Porter and Seasonal Stout weren't that great. We all enjoyed our food. Service was slow until the restaurant picked up, then our waitress seemed to wake up. Great atmosphere and a good meeting place just off the highway!

This is a great restaurant to eat/drink at with friend(s). The service is spotty unfortunately, especially at the bar. You would think management would address that. I have been here many times and will be back again though, so maybe that's why service is the way it is. They have a great special when any local sports team is on TV. $2.50 pints and 25 cent wings (not expected in a fairly upscale restaurant like this.)

This is the brewpub closest to my house, so it is the one I go to the most often. I go there not for the beer, but for the food. The beer is probably the weakest link in an otherwise great restaurant. Most types pass my less-than-stringent "Is it better than Bud?" test, but just barely. One huge surprise was their seasonal Barley Wine which was nearly perfect (aided by a bartender who not once but twice poured full pints of the stuff instead of the smaller snifters. YUM!) My idea of heaven is the Pecan Walleye or the AppleJack Chicken with Grown-Up S'Mores for desert, and of course Barley Wine if they have it.

Beer enthusiasts! Always ask for what is being served cask conditioned! And ALWAYS have the Smoldering Coals Imperial Stout for dessert (cask conditioned). Any brewery that keeps two cask conditioned beers at all times gets my vote.
The food is good, selection is okay. service has improved markedly. They now understand that people sometimes come to a brewery to drink and then eat, so they don't rush you through everything.
Beer selection has improved - they added another to the regular list recently. They now have 5 beers on tap all the time, with at least one seasonal and one cask conditioned (in addition to the Imperial Stout).

I have gone to this place a few times now, and the beer and food are always good. I do have a problem with the service. I have gone and I have had horrable service and i have also had a server who acted like i was her only table. I would recomend go just to have the mashed potatoes.

Beer was nothing special, good selection but nothing that I just had to have more off. Food was good but diminished by poor service. Had to wait for everything, including beer, which at a brewery is unexcusable. Waiter had a hissy-fit when asked to take desert order and clear empties from sampler tray. His excuse of giving me time to make up my mind was weak at best. Folded menu and empty glasses should have tipped him off after the third prance by. Will maybe go back if in town again but will leave if he's my waitress

I tried the Barley wine and I have to say that I have never had anything like it. It was great and I would suggest it to anyone who knows anything about beer. The food was also quite good.
