Rusted Crow Distillery and Spirits

Awesome venue. Drinks are so worth the price. Coffee drink was amazing! Service great. Pizza is fresh and tasted awesome. Alfredo was really tasty.

Some people like their corn and wheat served on a plate. I like mine turned into delicious adult libations. (Okay and maybe also served on a plate.)
Attentive, laid back, sharp and pleasant staff. Delicious, smooth, fresh, well thought out spirits.
If it’s your first time, ask for the tour. Take the 5 – 10 minutes out of the evening to see where the magic happens. Erica was the staff member who showed us around and she really knew her stuff.
We sampled a flight consisting of rum, gin, vodka and moonshine. Stuck with vodka through the night. We purchased a bottle of rum to take home. I will update on that once it’s tried.
There was a side room with about 10 people at a table. Not sure if you can walk in for that, first come, first serve. Or if that was something special going on. Didn’t bother to ask, was too entranced with our weekly date night. ;)

This place is awesome. They have a food menu as well… pizza, pretzels, pesto chicken and more. All the cocktails were crafted well and with good presentation (no beer at this location). I’ll be back for sure! They mentioned there was going to be a Detroit location soon.

I have found my visits to be enjoyable each time. It is a small distillery with live music at times. The cocktails are made with fresh ingredients at the bar. They make rum, gin, vodka, and moonshine. The moonshine is actually pretty smooth and not like most that leave the feeling of drinking straight death (Rusted Crow’s is smooth). Parking is limited in front of the building, but they have additional parking in the area. Call first to make sure there is seating available.

The inside is amazing. I am an extremely cool hipster and I felt right at home when I walked in. I also really like their name and brand imaging. There were 2 main rooms. They are both small but have a ton of character. I sat at the bar, like usual. The bar is average sized and behind the bar is bottles of their different distilled alcohols.
The drink I ordered was fantastic. I can’t remember the name of the drink, but it had gin, and egg in it. Yum. My gf liked her drink also.
I would give them 5 stars but the parking isn’t optimal and they don’t have any whiskey yet. I’ll come back and if they have delicious whiskey, I’ll update my review to 5 stars.

They really care about quality of there drinks. The staff cares about your enjoyment of the drinks. I could not encourage someone enough to try this place, if your looking for a fun and classy environment. I can’t but would give them a sixth star.

This is one of the coolest bars to lounge around in. The architecture and décor are dark and Victorian. You never run out of things to look at on the walls, but in a classy way, not an Applebee’s sort of way. The booze is smooth… almost too smooth. They don’t have food but welcome and encourage you to order from local restaurants (Cottage Inn, Cariera’s, Mr. Chicken, etc). They usually have live music during the evenings, too.
The bartenders and servers are so welcoming. I felt like a regular after my second visit because Amanda immediately recognized me and remembered my drink order. Drinks are a bit pricey ($ 8 – 10) but definitely cost less than what you’d pay for a craft cocktail in Detroit.
Their Detroit Steam vodka is hands-​down the smoothest vodka I’ve ever had. Even in a rocks glass with just a splash of pineapple juice, I couldn’t detect the alcohol burn.
Treat yourself to a couple craft cocktails from Rusted Crow. It’s worth it.

This place is awesome. I’m a vodka drinker, so their vodka was right up my alley. However, ALL of their spirits are great. So smooth. I don’t drink rum or gin, but the tasting we had was fabulous. Being able to have those spirits neat without having too much of a bite isn’t easy. The staff was great. We will definitely be back.

This is something that Dearborn and Dearborn Heights needed! A great distillery with friendly waitresses and delicious drinks. The interior is pretty cool too with a steam punk vibe, open air seating, and live music. I wish I remembered the name, but there was a tater tot food truck outside the venue selling THE most amazing tots. It deserves a separate review. The bathroom was clean and decorated with an Edgar Allen Poe «The Raven» feel. I will return!

Seriously, it doesn’t get much better than this. Yes, it’s a bit pricey. Yes, it’s way worth it! If you like Valentine’s in Ferndale, you’ll love this place. It’s not as busy, but it deserves to be. We were there celebrating a friend moving out of state. Waitress was on her own that night, but made sure we were taken care of. The owner even bought us a round! That’s unheard of these days at more places. It’s not about the amount of alcohol they put in their drinks, it’s the quality. You can taste everything, and it’s all so fresh. Try them out before going out to eat or after as they don’t serve food, or after. If you want a great cocktail and great atmosphere, this place can’t be beat.

What a refreshing change of pace for the area. I’ve lived in this area most of my life and like it just fine but for miles on end bars on Telegraph road are mostly just just your typical suburban dive/​corner/​sports bar. Nothing wrong with that at all but this place stands out. Great atmosphere and great craft cocktails made with their house-​made spirits. I’ve never liked gin but their gin is excellent. Probably because it doesn’t taste like I expect gin to taste. I’ve had 3 or four of their craft cocktails and they were all excellent. The drinks aren’t cheap, but compared to other comparable places they are very reasonable. It’s nice to have a place like this close to home when I don’t feel like driving to Corktown or Ferndale. They are supposedly opening a downtown location with a food menu. I’ll be sure to check it out when they do.

We don’t get down to Dearborn often, but this place is worth the trip! The drinks were great (even though they don’t have whiskey or bourbon ready yet). Service was above and beyond what was expected. Along with our cocktails, they brought each of the distilled spirits straight so we could taste them in their natural state. They even let us try a few that aren’t available yet like the jalapeño pineapple and the camomile infused vodkas. Great atmosphere too. I mean someone put a lot of time, thought and effort into this place, as it’s obvious a lot of the décor was hand forged or hand made. Really cool place if you are down that way! Or make a trip, it was worth it.

I really like this place though I’ve only been once… the day they opened. It’s really tiny & didn’t have much seating though I was told they added more. We weren’t offered a tour or anything which I thought we would but we didn’t ask either which I suppose we should have! It’s really dark & I love the décor… pretty much all wood, metals & soft lighting. The drinks were good but weak, between myself & 6 friends we tried 5 different cocktails & they were yummy but you couldn’t taste the liquor at all & not in a «this is smooth» way but more like a «is there any alcohol in this» way. After we tried the cocktails we just switched to straight liquor & the vodka was really good & my friends said the gin was as well but I don’t like gin so I didn’t try it. My biggest complaint is that I primarily drink whiskey & they didn’t have any… they posted a few months back on their FB page that they were making some but I don’t think they have it yet. Once they have whiskey available I think I will be here more often.
The parking here is VERY limited, like 4 spaces BUT they do have a lot about 2 buildings North of their place, it’s fenced & now has a sign on it noting it’s extra parking for Rusted Crow.

Super psyched to have this place right down the street from my house! Love the atmosphere, the friendly staff (Amanda is so cool!) and the interesting, hand crafted menu. I’m not a usual gin drinker but LOVE Rusted Crow’s Earl Grey infused gin cocktail. Great place to go for after dinner drinks!

I am so glad a place like this popped up on this area. Their Gin as super good. My favorite drink so far has been the one with gin, elderflower syrup, and fresh lemon juice. They just expanded their menu so now there is many more drinks for me to try. Basically 9 and 10 $ craft cocktails. Which is common prices for this type of drinks anywhere else.
The live music had been pretty good both times I’ve been here. A nice relaxing environment and sexy wait staff (who are super nice too!).

Love the décor inside this place! The style is Steampunk, and it’s very warm and inviting. Parking can be a little bit challenging, but they are working on some solutions for that. They young ladies at the bar are amazing mixologists ~ Amanda mixed my Crowstache to perfection, the presentation was beautiful, and it tasted amazing! I’m not usually a Gin fan, but I must say I liked their Gin so much that my husband and I purchased a bottle to bring home. It’s a little on the pricey side, but well worth the cost as you can certainly tell you are getting quality, and not to mention its locally distilled and the art on the bottle is very unique — I don’t think I’ll be throwing this bottle away once its empty, it’s a keeper as far as art goes.
I am very excited to have a distillery so close to my home; we need more places like this in the Dearborn/​Dearborn Hgts/​Taylor area. I will definitely be returning here to try out their vodka next, they are also currently distilling whiskey (it has a little ways to go to age properly), but I’ll be trying that once it available too!

This is the type of place I imagine in my head when someone says «craft distillery». That’s a huge compliment.
They are clearly new, so only 3 spirits available. The good news is that they are all tasty and the bartenders mix a mean cocktail. The space is well appointed and I’m excited to come back and see how they develop it.
As the craft spirit scene takes off, I look forward to watching what people do with the concept. If they are all as good as Rust Crow, we all have a lot to look forward to.

This place is beautiful on the inside and the people are wonderful. Best cocktails in Dearborn :)
