Cellarmen’s

I don’t always drink mead, but when I do, I listen to Motörhead.

World class mead and cider. Plus someone’s awesome playlist! Please excuse the rough interior. The delicate flavors in the mead will balance that out.
Also, you can bring in your own pizza or snacks.

I’m a stones throw away from this place every day and have been excitedly awaiting it’s opening and looking in the area where I knew it was supposed to be. Turns out, it’s been open 2 ½ months. Seriously. guys… get some signage. You might have had me in there a few more times by now.
Erik M kinda hit in his comment– it feels exactly like a VFW or Elks lodge. I know the tradition among brewery’s is to stay rustic, but this is REALLY rustic. They are just getting started so I will cut them slack, but hopefully they’re personalize it a little more as time goes on.
I really just wanted a beer. It’s a brewery. They had one. The rest was cider and meads. Granted, I try to be open to nnew things and the description of the beer didn’t sell me, so I got two different ciders. Fair to say I am new to them, and you don’t really want my opinion at this point– but they were not bad. I’m not ant-​cider, but I’m not exactly cider-​prone either– so in that respect, consider it quite a compliment I will probably go back to try some of the meads or other ciders, maybe they will make me a fan of both.
I liked that it wasn’t packed like every other restaurant opening around here, the crowd was diverse and pretty laid back and the bartender we dealt with this pretty friendly. Seriously though, sometimes it’s nice when NOBODY knows your name– you could be 22, you could be 60, well dressed or straight from your job at the coal mines. the kind of crowd this place draws, no one in the place will know or care.
Now for the bad:
No food except popcorn… fine. Looking like Grandma’s empty basement after the estate sale… fine. A brewery with only one beer… yeah, that one’s not fine. Not sure if it’s because they are just getting started or maybe that is not going to be there focus?
Seriously, I am pulling for you guys. I want to be here at least twice a week. I promise to expand my horizons with ciders and meads if you promise to get some beers going. I’ll be stopping in while you do. Best of luck and welcome to the neighborhood!

This place is great! They have great cider (i really enjoyed the dry cider), mead, and even a few beers on tap. The guys are super friendly and they play great music. I guess a few of the Brewers used to work at B. Nektar, and we thought the Moscow Miel was amazing.

Great beer. Have the Lady Boy you wont be disappointed. nice beards.

You can bring in or order any food you want, which is good, because they only serve popcorn and fancy salt. The ciders and beers are excellent and the bartender can help you find one you’ll like. Flights and samples are popular.

i really like this place. i liked it so much i went two nights in a row around halloween. they happened to be playing horror movies on a large screen in the corner and seemed to be playing a lot of metal, which i didn’t mind. the paneled walls remind me of a basement and there is ample seating, so no way do you need to feel cramped. the guys running it seem nice and laid back and gave us some free samplings. the free popcorn is nice, since there isn’t any food. not sure if they would let you bring in a pizza, but i bet they would.
the drinks were all pretty good, they seem to have more of a focus on meads and ciders with only three beer selections. the pineapple cider and saigon sin (a cinammon and vanilla cider) were my faves. i hardly ever drink multiple ciders and found myself doing just fine with more than two. I pretty much tried everything and came back liking it all, except their lager.
love, juston

I absolutely LOVE this place. What’s better than hanging out in your friend’s wood paneled basement, sipping on some scrumptious libations, listening to 90’s grunge or death metal. it changes, watching horror films, eating free popcorn, while admiring the beards behind the bar. I loved this place so much that I came 2 nights in a row during the Halloween weekend. I highly recommend the Saigon Sin Cider and the Moscow Miel… they won’t disappoint and you will not be disappointed in how laid back and chill the place is.

Came in early on a Sunday, ordered a flight of both meads on tap, a couple beers, and one of their ciders. Picked up some popcorn and water (both self serve), sprinkled some of their special spice blend on my popcorn, and sat at the bar with a friend.
I can’t recommend their drinks enough. Everything is thoughtfully crafted, very well balanced, and tastes super fresh. My favorite was probably the Strawberry and white pepper mead, but their hefeweizen was not only unique but incredible.
The place looks like a VFW hall or Moose Lodge, both of which I am familiar with, which is a bit strange — but the walls are dotted with great artwork and tons of space to bring friends. I’d love to see DJs or a trivia night here — the space is perfect for it.
Staff was very happy to answer our questions and talk about what other folks have been loving. We were told that instead of using any extracts, the brewers use only fresh ingredients, which sometimes means a painstaking process of crushing a LOT of berries or grating ginger for the final product. It definitely shows — everything with any kind of additive was extremely fresh and flavors were distinct.
One of the brewers recommended to us the Moscow Miel, which wasn’t on tap, but will be again soon (and was on tap at one-​eyed betty’s in ferndale). It’s a ginger mead with lime– he claimed it was very drinkable and tastes like one of my favorite cocktails (if you can’t guess which, you’re not paying attention).
I’m already planning a return trip this weekend to bring more friends and try the Moscow Miel — I haven’t been to a place that appreciates craftsmanship so much in a long time.

Great selection and variety of beer, cider and mead. I can’t believe I liked their hopped cider. Friendly service. These guys are the real deal!

It’s like being in a dudes basement from high school except you’re not losing your virginity.
The mead is unlike any I’ve ever had before.
Odd combinations but unique and interesting.
Hard cider galore and quite fresh and crisp.
The music (heavy metal of course!) isn’t too loud, which is great for a venue.
I didn’t feel cramped or crowded.
I think eventually they’ll more readily occupy the space and get the hang of serving the public more fluidly but for the first few weeks?
Not bad sirs.
Not bad at all.
Welcome to the HP.

It’s very nice to see people that are proud of what they craft and are friendly/​excited to explain it to you. I drive past this place everyday and glad I do!
There is something very comfy about the place– not fancy but nice. Good mead & cider and if you like Moscow Mules give their version of the mead a try– really good! We had that and a flight and my hubby loved the cider. We will be back!

These guys are just getting started and I was lucky enough to visit for my first time when not too many were crowding the bar. The brewers /​owners are formerly from another mead/​beer brewery, they are experienced and it shows talking to them and drinking their brews. Cellarmen’s offers many types of beers, hard ciders, and meads. They have a menu of drinks that will rotate based on season, as most if not all their ingredients are locally sourced.
You will get some really unique tastes here I think every time you visit. For that reason alone I think it’s a great place to stop by for something new. Try a flight, it’s not overpriced and you can mix beers, meads, and ciders for your flight.
I’m not sure how the décor will evolve and change over time but at the moment it is basic. I would look way past that and just look at the product they are brewing and selling… you really can’t find their stuff anywhere else. No growlers or bottles/​cans yet but it’s coming in time. I’ll be back for sure!

Not sure what this place is. Not sure if it knows what it is.
But Hazel Park finally has a brewery, so it’s got that going for it… which is nice.
