Open daily 11am–2am (248) 625-0077 5801 S Main St, Clarkston

The bar

Cold drafts. Frozen cocktails.

Four slushie machines, a wall of tap handles and a fully stocked back bar, with bartenders regulars ask for by name.

Frozen cocktail machines: Boo Berry, Horny Leprechaun, Irish Smash, Rum-Runner

The slushie wall

Four machines, always spinning.

Frozen cocktails are the drink Clarkston Tap is known for. Reviewers call them “slushies to die for.”

Flavors rotate, so ask what’s spinning today. These were on the machines when we took the photo:

On draft

A wall of tap handles.

Domestic favorites, imports, craft, shandy and cider. The draft lineup changes with the seasons. In the photo: Modelo Especial, Labatt, a Belgian white, Summer Shandy, Cigar City and Angry Orchard, next to a Detroit Lions handle.

Prefer a can? Hard seltzers like High Noon are in the cooler.

Today’s tap list: ask your server or call (248) 625-0077.

Behind the bar

Cocktails, whiskey & margaritas.

A fully stocked back bar means your go-to is almost certainly here. Guests rave about the apple margarita, and the whiskey selection gets called out in reviews too. Ask about seasonal specials like a boozy hot chocolate.

  • Margaritas including the house apple margarita
  • Mixed drinks & martinis made to order
  • Whiskey & bourbon for sipping or on the rocks
  • Hard seltzers, bottles & cans from the cooler

From the regulars

Big beers. Good company.
