I came here with a group for our monthly euchre get together, which means we reserve several tables for a few hours. They were very accommodating and gave us a corner all to ourselves with enough room for our group. I don't usually drink cider or mead, so I sampled a few until I settled on one I liked. It was the punk lemonade, I got the 10 oz size, and while I still didn't 'love' it, it was good enough to drink for the night. The interior is a bit stark, but it was fine for our gathering. No food, but they let you bring in your own, so we ordered pizza and some of us brought snacks to share. The waitstaff came around a lot to check on us, so points for that. The place was virtually empty though, except for us, so maybe that's why! We had fun posing with the Danny Devito cutout. Perhaps they should (or maybe they do) rotate celebrities every month. We always collect $5 from everyone to tip the waitstaff extra well, when we tried to give it to the staff they said they don't accept tips! So they said they would give it to a charity. Nice touch. I hope the staff is well compensated though.

We once a upon a time tried one of their bottles of mead from a bottle shop so I made plans to come here if we were ever in the Detroit area. I do not regret making our plans work so we were able to come here while they were open (Wed-Sun only). We came in the last hour before they closed one night and they still served us which was much appreciated after not finding places to eat as it was too late and most places have closed. While we couldn't find places to eat, we managed to make it here before they closed and had two flights. The bartender was very nice and knew the mead and ciders very well. She offered us tastes if we wanted, and has very good taste because I loved everything she recommended to us. In fact, we came back the day after to try the rest of the menu that wasn't part of the flights. They allow you to bring in food so we brought in two Detroit style pizzas to eat while drinking. We walked away with a howler, and 3-4 4 packs of various meads and ciders. Our favorites include, not in any particular order - Punk Lemonade Cider, New Wave Lemonade Mead, Slice of Life, The Dude's Rug.

My wife and I went for a food/mead pairing event. Both were amazing! This was our first time to B. Nectar & we were both very impressed with the cleanliness of the facility, the friendliness of the staff, and of course the mead. We'll be back for sure!

Everything was great here! As someone new to the area, I appreciated the friendly and very informative wait staff. I had a mead flight and liked most of them. The music was an eclectic mix which I enjoyed.

Had an amazing time going to this meadery. The beers were sweet and delicious. They had a very large variety and also rotating beers per season. My friend and I got a fight and we tried multiple IPA's, stouts, and slushies! Service was great too! Loved the conversation with the bartender! It's a very local meadery. The meadery design was very wooden with seating in the bar, high tables, outdoor and lower tables . It is a more lived in place with an older charm.
