Cloverleaf Fine Wine and Craft Beer

Great variety of libations. Come in for one thing, leave with a couple other things. Beers, wines, ciders, whatever you want.
The guy who works there is very helpful, a little bit on the sales-​y side, but I’ll take it for some good recommendations.

This is a cool little spot underneath one of my favorite restaurants, Bigalore. They have a great selection of wine and beer and are always running specials and tastings. Make sure to sign up for their mailing list so that you know when they are running a special wine release or free tasting. I always pop in when I’m in the area and when I first started getting into craft beer this was my go to shop. They have a great selection of single bottles to make mixed 6s so you can finally try Old Rasputin or Burton Baton without having to shell out $ 20 for a 4 pack. Prices are fair for the beer. I can’t speak for the competitiveness of the wine prices but i’ve been able to find plenty of stuff for under $ 10 a bottle (my wine threshold).

We LOVE Cloverleaf Wine & Beer!!! My husband loves to go with me because of their extensive selection of beers-​foreign & domestic (he’s in heaven!!). I love to go because of their knowledgable staff & great wine selection. They’ve never steered us wrong! We’ve loved their recommendations every time. Thank you Cloverleaf!!!

This place is loaded with a crazy assortment of beer to choose from (as well as tons of wine, but on this maiden voyage I only had eyes for the brew). I had a pleasant and long experience deciding between old favorites, amazing beer myths and types I had never even heard of. The staff was friendly, knowledgable, and eager to help. An excellent music backdrop was just the cherry on top. I drove a half hour to get there and will definitely be making the trip again (and again) in the near future! Go there. You know you want to.

Great product, great service, great location!

I found a bottle of 2011 Goose Island Lolita here on the shelf. That was a pretty sweet find. The staff here is also incredibly friendly and helpful as well. I came to MI from CA for work and they were a stop on my bottle shop trip looking for gems. I had a great conversation with one of the guys here, (sorry forgetting his name offhand though!) and the ambiance was awesome. It’s definitely geared more towards wine than beer, but don’t let that scare you away. You might find a hidden gem or two on the shelves if you look hard enough.

Great staff. Awesome selection. Loyalty program is awesome. Wine tastings on Saturdays and a great craft beer selection to boot. Prices are reasonable, and the staff is knowledgable enough to make any budget work wonders. Love it.

Recently, my husband and I have embarked on a craft beer quest. I realize it’s been very popular for awhile now, but it’s new to us. So, my current mission is to find beer stores that sell single bottles of craft beer. I want to be able to try the different beers without buying a 6-​pack.
Of course, I came to Unilocal Search to see what came up first, and this store popped up in the search results. I’ve already been to Champane’s in Warren, which had a small selection. Cloverleaf actually has a great variety of single bottles. They have empty 6 pack holders available to create your own. My husband and I felt like kids in a candy store. The prices seemed to be in line with what I’ve seen at other places.
Obviously, they have a ton of wine as well. We didn’t spend any time looking at the wine, but it was obvious that it’s an awesome selection. Staff seemed very nice and willing to help with questions.
The store location is interesting since it’s in the basement of Pizzeria Biga. Parking sucked, but that’s Royal Oak for you. It won’t stop me from going back though. I definitely liked the store and so far has the best single bottle craft beer selection.

Cloverleaf is THE place for a worldly selection of wines in the $ 7 – 80 range from a fun and knowledgeable staff. Beer? Oh, yeah they have BEER. A super beer selection — all available as singles so you can experiment! Cloverleaf never disappoints. Prices seem to be lower than some of the other wine retailers in the area. I shop here often.

Came here last December to buy a Christmas gift for my boss. I received great service from the knowledgeable staff. Upon a quick online price comparison, I also determined that the products were very reasonably priced. There are both cheaper bottles and very expensive bottles, but prices are consistent with those from online merchants. There is quite a large variety of wines from all areas of the world. I am definitely going to come here again in the future when shopping for wine.

An exceptional wine shop tucked underneath the former power station with Pizzeria Biga, the cool confines of Cloverleaf welcomed the beau and I after an extensive walk from Ferndale to Royal Oak during Pride Parade weekend.
Split into two lobes with a proper beer cavern and a host of wines, Cloverleaf has a delightful air of authenticity. I felt at home among the crates of popular roses and obscure wines from the Gascony region, though shelves were never stacked so high as to be intimidating. Lots of printed signs provide a snapshot encapsulating the strengths and pairings of the wines themselves. Alongside French, Italian, Australian and South American options are local wineries and lesser known Michigan vendors. B. Nektar mead gets plenty of love here, a plus considering I could live off the golden stuff of the gods! The well curated selection entices at all price points.
Cloverleaf’s wine selection trumps all for me, but the beer cave incorporates a lot of selections from pale ales to cherry cysers to pitch black IPAs you could tar the roads in Huntington Woods with. The beau was pleased to find some rarities and his old favourites, and they hold out a lot of mysterious wonders we need to try. Plato 8 Degrees is our standby for brews of a discerning sort, but Cloverleaf holds up for fair prices and a great selection (like Alba Ale, Heather Ale, etc.). They have mix and match 6 packs if you can’t make up your mind, and their variety covers the spectrum from lambic to Belgian trappist (mmm!) and Canadian oddities. I didn’t see much that didn’t sound appealing.
Lots of special events, themes, and the like make this a nice little getaway from the everyday wine/​beer aisles at Meijer.
Staff are helpful, friendly, and resourceful in a way that I admire. I need to have these people standing over my recipe books and at my elbow when I consider what to eat. They have excellent recommendations with an ear for your interests, and their knowledge is par excellence. No pressure to buy this or move outside your price point, and best of all, they’re happy to let you try and to taste. Friendliness all around will make me a repeat customer, have no fear.
Their loyalty program is an email sign-​up and completely accessible. Discounts are available for purchases and they’ll notify you of specials. Tastings happen frequently — a pinot noir and a chardonnay while I was there, although I didn’t get to sample because the staff were helping a large party. Next time!

I have been coming to Cloverleaf for years now and it is still my favorite place to get harder to find craft beers. Everyone who works here is great and help with anything you might need.
They can order you anything you want so if they don’t have it on the spot, they can order it for you.
I can’t recommend them enough!

I’m a little puzzled by all the five-​star reviews here. Cloverleaf has a better selection than most wine shops in metro Detroit, but my experience there wasn’t that impressive. I went looking for a good Chinon for a dinner party. Unfortunately the one bottle they had wasn’t quite right, and when I asked for a recommendation for an alternative, the salesperson seemed unsure. He finally steered me toward a couple other choices, which ended up being just ok.
It’s possible I’ve been spoiled after living for years next to a great wine shop on the east coast.
And maybe I was just unlucky this time. if the next visit is better I will update my rating.

Fantastic selection of beer and wine to fill a need for any occasion.
The Friendly staff is very helpful in pairing wines with particular dishes.
Highly recommend.

It has been a long while since I’ve been in Michigan but when I last made a visit I was searching for quality local craft beer and my super Unilocal powers had me driving towards Cloverleaf. To make it brief: excellent experience with very kind, helpful staff and a surprisingly large inventory.
You know Cloverleaf has the right mindset when the entrance is not upstairs, but down. The beer is kept in a literal cellar. Nice.
The isles are a bit cramped and navigation is a little wonky. I ended up squeezing my sizable self into a dead end. But no matter, I was there for beer, not to test my mental GPS skills!
I can’t remember the name of the two fellows who were working that day but they were exceedingly patient, kind and helpful. I told them I was literally on my way to the airport to head back to San Diego but I needed some great MI craft beer. After a little bit of quizzing to determine my favorite styles they walked me through the store, pointing out suggestions and listening to my opinions. Just before I was to check out one of the guys dashed to the back and pulled out some beers that weren’t even ready for sale because he thought I’d like them. Double bonus.
All in all this is going to be one of my must-​visit places any time I’m within a 50 miles. Great store, great people, great knowledge and great selection.
Cloverleaf is GRRRRRRRREAT!

Cloverleaf, encompassing their location, the building itself, the selection, the knowledge and openness of the staff, the pricing and the philosophies driving the business: TREMENDOUS.
I couldn’t imagine a better wine vendor. I was completely blown away on my first visit. Instant loyal customer.
For those who might be intimidated by vast selections of dark and mysterious bottles — this is the place to start your journey. Walk right in and start asking questions. You will not be led astray. Nor do you need to spend a fortune to find plenty of wines and beers to love.
I’d give Cloverleaf 10 stars without hesitation. Maybe I’ll write a second review just so you can add ‘em up.

What a wonderful place! I had a simple mission: buy a bottle of malbec, and then drink this.
I found myself mesmerized by the wide variety of wines and beers, and at the bargains. And the basement setup was very cool!
When I was wandering around like a lost zombie, I was kindly pointed in the right direction. And for a little more than $ 7 I had a bottle of Mendozan wine, and was very happy. I will definitely make it a habit of stopping by if I’m in the neighborhood or when I’m craving malbec.

Cloverleaf wine – I keep coming back for more. I began shopping at Cloverleaf at it’s previous location in Southfield. The selection was good, the staff really really helpful. Now that it’s in my own backyard (Royal Oak), I’m one happy camper.
You can always count on Tom and his staff to provide advice for food/​wine pairing. And you can always count on Cloverleaf to offer up some really cool wine specials – distributor closeouts and new stuff that you can’t find anywhere else in the area. Their prices are always competitive. The selection is «quality» over «quantity». You can find quality wine for $ 10, and you can also splurge on a bottle for $ 50 – just depends what you’re into.
But don’t stop with wine. The craft beer selection is excellent. Coolers and shelves of craft brews from Michigan and elsewhere, all available as singles, a six, or a case. I recently grabbed a mixed case of Michigan summer beer, which was outstanding. This past winter, I enjoyed the mixed case of Porters and Stouts.
All in all, Cloverleaf is my go-​to wine store.

After my first visit to Cloverleaf this week, my initial thought was — Why didn’t I stop in sooner?
I didn’t read all of the other reviews, so forgive me if I repeat what’s already been said.
Being separated a bit from the more frequently walked sections of downtown Royal Oak, I can see how many may have never thought to visit Cloverleaf. If you are a lover of beer or wine– I suggest you walk your butt across the railroad tracks, and venture down into my new favorite shop.
As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by Terry– who gave us a tour of the lay-​out, highlighting where all the different varietals were and explaining how sales of their craft beer works. (I’ll just cover that now — all bottles are priced individually — and not marked up past what they would sell the whole 6-​pack to you for. They are trying to encourage beer lovers to branch out and try something new, with limited liability. I think it’s a great idea.)
He left us to our browsing — but was readily available for questions and suggestions. I had recently had an amazing Amarone — and while Cloverleaf only had one on the shelf, Terry suggested a wine that is made very similarly that he thought I would like anymore. (Sadly, I am writing this before I tried it — but I will be sure to update my post with the final verdict)
When we were checking out, we learned that Cloverleaf offers a 5% discount on wine to all customers who sign up for their loyalty program (with increasing discounts based on the amount of $ spent annually). That made their already reasonable prices even better. Terry also spent some time talking brews with my husband — and offered to look into getting a few he’s been looking for.
We had a great experience and will definitely return. The service here reminds you that you never have to wander through the aisle at a grocery store alone and confused again. :)

Amazing service, great choices, and affordable prices for the new to very expierenced wine drinker. My fav… The Prisoner. My guy an i could drink this one with dinner every night.
Keep up the great work!
