Venues in Detroit, Michigan

We did not have food on our visit so could not rate it, however, the service and drinks were amazing. Kennedi was very friendly and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our visit to Side Hustle and will be returning.

Great atmosphere and food! Garlic knots and steak tips amazing, plus happy hour:) Chris and Brandon were some of the best bartenders we have had in Detroit! Definitely will be back!!!!!

I'm not sure why this place comes up as a cocktail bar. They have 3 cocktails in the menu, 1 is scratched out. And 5 spritz. It's a neighborhood bar near Wayne State. Bartender is cool . No food.

Lex Appeal: The Unabridged Version In Jack Finney’s short story "Of Missing Persons" (bear with me here), a man stumbles into an unassuming travel agency and is offered a once-in-a-lifetime chance to emigrate to a mysterious, otherworldly paradise called Verna. It's beautiful, modest, and almost too good to be real. The Lexington is Detroit’s Verna. It’s the kind of place you hear about from someone who looks both thrilled and reluctant to even tell you, like they’re giving away a secret they shouldn’t. And when you finally step inside, you get it: the low glow of the lights, the soundtrack of animated, half-drunken conversations zig-zagging across the room, the melange of whiskey and possibility hanging in the air just so. You’ll wonder how it’s even allowed to exist. The Lexington isn’t just a bar; it’s a cast of characters you somehow already care about by the time the first drink sweats in your hand. Dave and Jen, the proprietors, are the Gen X power couple we all secretly hoped we’d grow up to be…or at least hoped would adopt us when our own parents fell short. Dave is the textbook definition of avuncular. His hugs cured my cancer. True story. Jen is understanding, astute, and has a memory sharp enough to make you feel seen, even if you don’t quite remember who you are that night. She seems to genuinely look out for everyone, guests included, which feels rarer than it should. And then there’s guest star bartender, J. Rho (aka Detroit’s best friend). Just look at him. He’s the type of guy you could bring with you to the ER waiting room, and somehow it ends up being the most fun you’ve ever had. J. Rho also hosts JRHO-KE Karaoke Night on the last Friday of every month. Many Lex participants were clearly trained at Interlochen or The Juilliard, or maybe just blessed by the gods of pitch and phrasing, because they’re shockingly good. But don’t worry; they still leave room for mere mortals on occasion. Then there’s Open Mic Night, every other Tuesday. At most bars, “Open Mic” is your cue to grab your coat and bolt, like you just spotted an ugly, suburban bachelorette party coming your way, screeching in matching sashes and wigs. Not here. At The Lex, the talent isn’t just polished, it’s intimidating. Again: what is this place? Even the little details feel personal here. The bathroom is so well-stocked and spotless you might decide to camp out for a bit. I’m pretty sure I spotted a Fabergé egg toilet paper holder and what may or may not be a Chihuly glass sculpture. On live music nights, they’ll even hand you complimentary earplugs if you ask nicely. The patio’s been recently upgraded with cement pavers and, inexplicably, a wholesome little fleet of toy trucks waiting for the one-in-a-million toddler who might somehow make it into a 21+ establishment. Oh, and there’s a pixelated lo-fi screen behind the bar quietly letting you know what song is playing on the Spotify playlist. (Spoiler: it will never be ska. Sorry, ska fans.) The Regulars’ Section is its own ecosystem. If you unknowingly sit in one of their spots, no one will ask you to move. But they will talk to you for the next three hours, staring gently into your soul and asking, “Are you OK? No, but are you *really* OK?” True, they’ll make a lot of weird inside jokes you won’t understand at first (big hats seem to be a recurring theme?), but sooner or later someone will loop you in. You won’t feel left out here, or like you have to survive some hazing ritual just to belong, unlike some other cities. These regulars might actually want to be your friend. More than once, I’ve considered moving across time zones just to be closer. Not that anyone needs to know just how far Verna’s magic really goes, but I’ve heard it told that The Lex has even been known to save lives on occasion. That, however, is a story for another night.

This is a solid spot with delicious cocktails and ambience. Highly recommend coming through to get a delicious drink to start or end your night. Jay and Juan will make sure you are taken care of. Kudos to this team!!!

Good spot if you’re in the area, service can be a bit slow and can get a bit stuffy but great late night stop and creative cocktail menu.

Laid Back / intimate Low Lighting / Open floor. Diverse crowds & welcoming chill vibes/ good music that isn't too loud/completely stocked bar w great beer offerings as well! hard to find bars that offer great stouts. The bartenders are skilled & outstanding! Gotta love a bar where you get taken care of! Got great alternative cocktails vs. what I "normally" drink. Myself & a few patrons were randomly given a free shot of delicious freshly-squeezed oj! Lovely neighborhood bar, the area is nice! & you feel safe. There's usually a pop-up of some sort often. A MUST TRY! when in the area. Plenty of parking - alil hard to spot if you don't know it's there.

Absolutely love the spot. Took my friend for the first time I have been several times. This drink was amazing. The ambiance is amazing. Service was great. Nice chill spot with good drinks and conversation.

Have been here a few times. The last time was for my sisters Birthday - it was one of our last stops and they had karaoke. We had a BLAST that night! My most recent visit was a lot more chill. The drinks and service were on point both times. It is located right by downtown, which is nice because that means there is so much in the area to do. Even when its busy here though they usually get you taken care of quickly!

Great place, great drinks, great company. Vinyl playing, hot dogs rolling and frozen drinks blending. Chill and friendly. I would highly recommend.

Bar of Legend; those hallowed floors moaning secrets Holding spirits within its wooden embrace. Awesome Service, the platinum status of any DiveBar I've ever walked into.. from the OG rotary-phonebooth to even having a pool table.. NOT for the pinkie-in-the-air or wine drinker type of establishment.. absolute must!! 💯 visit for the authentic dive and historic bar connoisseur. Need to come back n hang with the cool bartender n maybe a ghost or 2 🍻👻 🍺

No food menu other than a soup of the day made by the barmaids mother. Whatever she feels like cooking, the day we visited is split pea, and not a fan of peas, this was loaded with chunks of ham and potatoes. Very stick to your ribs soup. A shot and a beer rounded out the “meal” the bartender was super friendly even had us sign her up”out of towners” book as we were from Alabama. When you search dive bar this is a go too place. Don’t let the doorbell deter you, or the seedy neighborhood. Stop in and see the “Oldest Bar in Detroit”

Bad Luck Bar might be small, but it delivers a big experience. The space is intimate, moody, and thoughtfully designed, perfect for a night out that feels a little more personal. You can actually hear the person next to you, which is rare and refreshing. The service was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. Every drink I’ve had was delicious. Definitely a hidden gem worth seeking out.

Luca and Matthew not only make the best cocktails in Detroit, but match the perfect ambiance of the perfect cocktail bar. If you want to understand true hospitality, these two gentlemen make you feel at home. The atmosphere sets the bar high - yet these two set the bar higher. 🖤

I've been to two shows here. Both times the crowed and energy was good. I don't often drink while I'm out, however the bar looked like they had a good selection. I'd ware earplugs as the place is small and loud. That being said the sound quality is excellent. Usually when its loud the sound is also crunchy. That is not the case here.

A groovy spot for children of the night to congregate. I was here for a real barn burner. Cathode Cinema & AGFA teamed up to present the best student film of all-time, DEADBEAT AT DAWN from Jim Van Bebber. This spot in conjunction with the film, and the dope vinyl being spun made me feel like a real bad ass. I bought an ECK! shirt and cut the sleeves off at a bar table with my pocket knife. I felt like I was channeling Jim Van Bebber. It was the black jeans, they change your whole demeanor. The Outer Limits Longue is a perfect spot for this type of activity and radioactivity. The staff was pretty and warm. Good vibes all around. I want to play records here. Y'all should let me. I will rock the spot and devestate the dancefloor. I have become completely unhinged and I love it. Smell you later!

Kiesling is a cool little bar with a nice patio and chic interior. I had some well-priced beers and hung out for a while. It was quite lively, but the service was good. The bar was loud but still very easy to talk to. The lighting is quite dark. out front, they had a food truck posted up with fantastic food.

This is perhaps my favorite bar in Detroit. Cocktails are good. Atmosphere is excellent. Staff has the right balance of professionalism and fun. Prices are not ridiculous. I love the outdoor patio in the back with the fireplace that is PERFECT for fall. It is a bit of a hipster bar, but it balances those tendencies well with a touch of genuine class. It's a great grab a drink after work kind of place AND a nice spot for cocktails on the weekend. They sometimes have a food truck out front but generally don't serve food.

Great drinks, great vibe. Thursday nights R&B was smooth & a cool place to be. $5 entry Parking was easy & close to door, though a large crowd. Drinks were good & inexpensive. Music was great & played all night. The patio was open so a nice nightime breeze came through. Will be back!

Solid vibe at this spot and perfect if you want to get out and dance. Love how they have a section with all the vinyl albums. The drinks were creative and tasteful. Love how this place so many different people together and to see all the different styles and fashion is a vibe.

We had a very good dinner at Grey Ghost on our recent Detroit weekend getaway. We had the chef's tasting menu with the beverage pairing and were not disappointed. The atmosphere was lively and the service excellent.

What an absolute culinary delight! I suggest making reservations ahead of time because this is a very popular spot. The ambiance was very modern and romantic but also a place you can take the family. The service was outstanding...they gave us a great insight over the menu and made some amazing recommendations. They have several drink selections and they are fun and flavorful. The food was amazing and seasoned to perfection...highly recommend the short rib and snapper! We will be back again to try and burger...we here they are incredible...they do not begin serving food until 5pm, just an FYI. Recommend this spot to anyone in the area.

Fun place for a night out!! Drinks were delicious, bartenders were friendly, music was good! Also enjoyed the drag show!!

What a great spot! We danced for hours and attended the show at the cabaret. The cabaret is fabulous, with a runway and plenty of stage space. Bar service was very slow, though. They have a cute little nook with snacks and bar food as well!

Horrible place. Very disrespectful staff, not to mention if a fire broke out or a shooting happens, (neighborhood is known for it) there is no back exit at all. 2 doors 10ft. apart. If you're willing to take the risk then check it out there strippers are just like the other places!!!!!! By the way at least 75% of reviews are from staff. That's wrong and misleading

Great place to have a great time. Great food! Great customer service. Great music! I recommend checking them out. 5 stars!

Amazing place! We drove in from Lansing and it was well worth the drive! Amazing cocktails and even better NA cocktails. You can taste the quality in everything. They clearly put a lot of thought into the menu especially the NA drinks. Very chill vibes. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back!

Decided to go to Dragonfly after seeing that its sister restaurant, Freya, was more of a tasting menu and that's not something I'm a fan of. I was not disappointed by Dragonfly! The happy hour is awesome with great deals on cocktails and on food. I attached a photo of the menu. Our drinks were delicious with a ton of flavors. We split the hummus, which came with fresh, warm pita bread. I don't like beets so I avoided those, but my wife said they paired really well with the hummus. I then got the chicken sandwich, which was actually two sandwiches that were pretty good size, and she got the walleye. Everything had a ton of flavor, and the atmosphere inside the restaurant was really cool. Can't wait to go back!

1st time checking out standby and it was mid at best. The entrance and ambiance definitely was a vibe. I love how they did the drink menu as a newspaper but I can see some people getting confused with it as its got alot going on. Our server Sky was really nice and she made some great recommendations...the only thing we ran into was when we were ready to go she was no where to be found for 15 minutes and had to ask another waiter for our bill...im sure she was tending to other things because overall she did a great job. The drinks although creative didnt blow us away and the food was decent but nothing to race about. Overall wasnt a terrible experience and a decent spot for lunch or dinner.

STANDBY is hands down one of my favorite spots in the city! The place looks amazing—stylish, modern, and just gives off a cool vibe the second you walk in. The food is always on point, no matter what we order. Everything is packed with flavor and beautifully presented. The service is just as impressive—everyone we’ve encountered has been super friendly, talkative, and even pretty funny, which makes the experience even better. It’s a place I always recommend to friends. If you haven’t been, you’re seriously missing out!

First time in Detroit. Wonderful place. Low key. Nice vibe. Drinks were delicious and well-balanced. I personally liked the Milkmaid Dress. Rachel took great care of us considering the place was busy and she was the only bartender. She had awesome demeanor very sweet, huge smile on her face and kind personality even under the stress of a busy bar. Overall great experience.

Absolutely love two James! They have awesome neighborhood atmosphere with local artwork on display for sale and an extensive exquisite cocktail menu with locally distilled liquors for sale. They play excellent music, tonight was classic rock. This is a must visit if you're in corktown!

Kit was great! You can tell there is a very bright and vibrant passion for the history within the family that has owned this location for generations! Very happy to talk about the history. Has a cigar room! The history and the pride the family takes in their bar is beyond measurement. Yes it may be off the beaten path, but I will be back! I love this bar! Kit was very personable and made us feel right at home.

Went there with the drunks of antiquity tour last night (highly recommend the event). The bigger female bartender of the two was the worst bartender we have had. She was incredibly rude to all of us, to the point many didn’t even tip her. I’d highly recommend replacing her with someone more friendly to attract business.

The Sugar House – A Must-Visit Cocktail Destination When you think of a true cocktail bar, The Sugar House is where it’s at. With its vintage-industrial vibe and dim, moody lighting, the atmosphere sets the perfect tone for a memorable night out. The cocktails here are truly next level. With over 100 drinks on the menu—not even counting the rotating seasonal options—there’s something for everyone, no matter your taste or mood. I’m a bourbon drinker myself, and let me tell you: these bourbon cocktails are unmatched. I’ve visited multiple times and tried a good number of their drinks, and not one has disappointed me. The presentation is top-tier, and the flavor matches it perfectly. Even better? Most drinks are in the $12–$13 range. That’s an incredible value considering the quality. These cocktails are better than what you’ll get at most high-end restaurants and steakhouses—and for a lower price. The service is just as impressive. The servers are knowledgeable and friendly, and if you’re unsure what to order, they’ll guide you toward something that matches your taste, describing each option with clarity and confidence. If you’re into cocktails—or even just curious—this place is a no-brainer. The Sugar House is an absolute must-try.

The Sugar House is a gem in Detroit. I ordered the EFK, a special menu item, and it’s a must-try for whiskey lovers—bold, balanced, and unforgettable. I also had the warm chocolate chip cookies, which were perfectly gooey with a pinch of sea salt that brought out all the rich flavors. My server, Florence, was fantastic—attentive, kind, and knowledgeable. The vibe here is cozy but elevated, and you can tell they care about the details. From the cocktails to the service, everything was top-notch. I’ll definitely be back.

Historic (1902) Corktown Irish Pub w/ antique revolvers & Firefighter memorabilia. Smallish place that gets packed when busy & definitely a proper neighborhood/dive vibe. Nothing fancy but a well stocked bar n pretty fair prices! I didn't even know they served food but i always come at weird times/days. i like stopping in on slow days! N open on mondays! It's definitely worth checking out! 🍀 🍺 🍻 ☘️

Fun neighborhood spot. Love the chill backyard. Good service, always friendly! Decent eats...

Shelby was an amazing cocktail bar with a super cool theme and atmosphere. The drinks were creative and well-made, and the service was excellent. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Prices were pretty reasonable for the quality and overall experience. Definitely a unique spot worth checking out!

We had reservations, but we did have to wait about 20 minutes. It was a Saturday night, so it’s understandable. The place is absolutely gorgeous and has a lovely atmosphere. The drinks were delicious, and our server was incredible!

Nice little bar in the Cass Corridor. Simple drinks in a picturesque building. Efficient staff. Cover is $5 to a guy sitting in a barber chair. 🍺 🍻 🍹 🍷

I was just there for the first time and was blown away!!! First of all is Cheryl who runs the place and she is an amazingly gracious host! Staff is absolutely fantastic. Great atmosphere. I can’t wait to come here again! ❤️

They have pop up vendors for food. On Thursday they have Delroy w/his jerk chicken, smoked wings and ribs. Good stuff! The summer outdoor vibe is my favorite. Bartenders are very nice and attentive. It’s a vibe!

Great place to stop after visiting the Eastern Market. The bartender was really chill. No food service but can bring on your own food. The Bloody Mary is a meal!

They do not care about the neighborhood and neighbors of corktown. They host a weekly biker gang that parties in their bar, up and down the sidewalks, alleys, bike lanes, etc. Their customers are beyond nuisance blasting music, drinking up and down the streets, littering, reving their motors, smashing glass bottles, etc. PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT THIS TRASH. THANK YOU

Dearer than expected, beer in plastic cup and didn't look anywhere near a pint size. No patrons, was dead. Closed earlier than expected.

Excellent food! Menu is just right, enough variety and not overdone 👍 The service was quick and friendly, greeted as soon as you open the door! I’ve had their burgers before and they are fresh, thick and juicy! Today I had the pleasure of enjoying the fish! Perfectly cooked! I’m definitely coming back 💯

great bar. cool merch. they pour a perfect Guinness here. I always split the G here but they refuse to give me the beer for free. I still pay for it obviously. I always pay. but deep down I believe they owe me hundreds of dollars worth of beer. but I still pay because I love this bar. fries need salt.

We had such an amazing time at the Hawaiian tiki jazz night. We reserved tickets in advance online for the bar and were seated as soon as we entered. This jazz bar is very expensive but they have a reason for it as the food and drinks are very delicious. The old fashioned was perfect. For food, we ordered the ratatouille and baked halibut entrees. Again, the prices are high and we expected to have leftovers but we in fact did not have leftovers. That speaks to just how good the food was! The venue is so charming and romantic and we enjoyed the live jazz music. We will definitely be back!

We stopped in on a Wednesday evening. Caught the 730pm piano residency. The location is a throwback to a different era. The food though is beyond good. Comfort food at its finest. The tenderloin and mushroom appetizer with the mushroom bisque will have you dreaming of these dishes for years to come. We also tried the oysters, maple glazed ribs, and Mac and cheese. Must try if you visit motor city.

Solid bar downtown. Was well kept and clean. Service was nice and helpful. The bar tender made some great drink recommendations. The drinks themselves were solid and poured generously. Everything was priced fairly.

We had a lovely time on the patio with our dog at this bar. We ordered margaritas (a jalapeño one and a guava one), guacamole appetizer, & a buffalo chicken wrap entree. Everything was delicious. My first jalapeño margarita had over 20 seeds in it and they were kind enough to remake it for me without any big deal about it. The service was fantastic and we truly enjoyed our time! Highly recommend!

Decided to try this place for the first time on Saturday. After we parked on the street and paid for the spot we walked over and it was very packed, it was first come first serve so a lot of people were standing and it was incredibly loud but being that it's a sport bar that's to be expected. We found seats after 10 min at the bar, the service was okay, not very friendly or attentive maybe because it was a game day, not sure but we ordered our food and it didn't take too long. The quality was above average for a sports bar....I ordered the patty melt and I added bacon, I also got the potato wedges. She got the fried chicken sandwich. All the food came out piping hot and my patty melt was very good with the bread being crispy and the very filling, the potato wedges were crispy and seasoned and the chicken sandwich was the same. All in all the food was good the atmosphere and service were okay. The food was just bar food but very good quality for a sports bar.

Awesome place, just off the beaten path. Dont let the name fool you. Great atmosphere. Bartenders were friendly and helpful. On spot. The food was great. I had the Smash Burger Patty Melt, it was fresh, real stringy chesses and toasted perfectly. I would highly recommend you check them out. Outdoor seating is available too..

I went to The Skip in Detroit for an AfroFuture event and had such a good time. The DJ was a vibe and the crowd matched the energy all night. The space felt fun, the music was on point, and the atmosphere made it easy to just enjoy and connect. Definitely a spot I’d go back to.

Excellent location to have a drink, kick it, grab a bite and socialize. I got here before it got busy, but when I walked back it was turning up. Will definitely be back.

Harry’s Detroit Bar & Grill delivers the full sports-bar experience done right! If you’re looking for a spot where every game is on — college football, MLB, NHL, NFL — this is the place. The atmosphere is unbeatable for game days, with TVs in every direction and fans that make the energy contagious. The food is next-level for a sports bar — made-from-scratch dishes right in-house, not your typical frozen-and-fried menu. You can tell they take pride in quality and flavour. Service is consistently excellent — Gabby in particular goes above and beyond. She’s friendly, quick, and makes you feel like a regular even if it’s your first visit. What really stands out is the honesty and great recommendations from the staff. They don’t just upsell; they actually tell you what’s best on the menu that day, and they’re always right. Whether you’re in for a big game, a casual meal, or just a few drinks with friends, Harry’s nails. Highly recommend!

We had a great time at this place. It was crowded because a Tiger game was going to start soon but that dull the experience. Everyone was buzzing around but made sure we were taken care of. The food was great and I loved being on the upper floor being able to see outside. We will definitely make a return visit!

The Detroiter Bar has a really friendly, local vibe that makes you feel right at home. The bar food is surprisingly good—better than you’d expect—and everything is priced fairly. It’s a great spot to grab a bite and a drink without breaking the bank.

Ate here during the Grand Prix 2025. Tried a Vosa drink for the first time and the burger & fries were good. They had my order for the burger backwards. I wanted grilled onions and NO tomatoes. I got the opposite. Overall my server Allen and everything was good. 😏 Watch full video on YouTube ~ @SheriLolitaAndMichigan

Back in November 1975 I was super close to be born in this bar. Service bar in like home to me. This is my favorite bar cause born in streets of Cass corridor. So yes I'm biased I Love this bar it is home to me

There is no food. Go to Gus’ down the block if you’re hungry. Although sometimes they do have a free buffet - for game days. This is the last blue collar, neighborhood, dive bar in the corridor. Come correct or don’t come at all.

Great atmosphere Great food oh my the green and lamb chops are 🔥 fire I'm an Eastsider but I take the drive from time to time and it never disappoints

Good people in and out of that spot. The manager is a Doll and sweet...And its Peaceful too... No worries. And the Security is the best💯

TV Lounge is the ultimate chill spot. Music was well blended. The venue is gorgeous. The vibe was friendly. Plenty of seating and easy to move around. Outdoor patio is huge. True Detroit Gem.

The TV lounge is always a go to place in the city of detroit. The food is excellent the drinks are good and price very reasonable the music is always off the chain by famous DJs throughout the city of Detroit the outside indoor bar is stellar! It's great for rentals as well private parties or social events it is an excellent place in the city of Detroit we just love it!!

Went to Queens the other night to celebrate a friends birthday and out of nowhere, this security guard comes SHOVING us telling us it’s time to leave. Literally put his hands on me. Mind you there were other people still sitting in the bar, undisturbed. Not sure what they’re protocol is for closing, but train your security guards to keep there hands to themself unless absolutely necessary. This is Detroit, the situation could’ve got 100x worse if I was on that type of time.

Ask for John.. give him a liquor he’ll make you a drink. Probably best deal east of the Mississippi.

Absolute perfection. I came here because of Detroiters, and it didn’t fail me. The vibe is absolutely great. It’s the perfect neighborhood bar.

The Temple Bar is a wonderful spot to meet locals and be low key. My husband and I prefer these kinds of places to start the afternoon off or make part of our pub crawl. This place also has a small but fun dance floor and a cool outside are and kind bartending staff to welcome you.

What’s not to like. Building is amazing. I was there for lunch Saturday and ordered off the brunch menu. My companion had the eggs Benedict. Both were great. Usually the potatoes in a meal like this are meh, but these were well seasoned and delicious. Service was good— although it took awhile for our food to come out.

Started with the spinach dip and… yeah, that’s a no from me. Not something I’d come back for. One friend got a taco and loved it so much she ordered a second. Another friend tried the chicken bites and said they were good. Drinks were decent. The staff? A little all over the place. I couldn’t tell who my bartender actually was or who my tip even went to. Overall, not sure this spot is worth a return trip for me.

Great space, cozy, real cool/chill. I used the Gold Door 🚪. Staff was amazing, tag teaming the bar situation....we did have a discussion about menu options(hopefully Management will follow-up). The small bites were very tasty, two thumbs 👍🏾 👍🏾up. Will definitely be back 🫶🏾🫡🙏🏾

As a devoted cocktail enthusiast, Willow Detroit was high on my list—and it absolutely lived up to the hype. From the inventive drinks to the attentive service and chic interior, every moment spent here was a delight. The Goat and The Elephant Tree cocktails were standout favourites. I can’t wait to return!

I’ve been here a handful of times and feel like the food isn’t always consistent. I don’t like the regular burger much, sometimes it’s too salty and sometimes it’s overcooked. However, I tried the black bean burger recently and it was very good!! Their French fries are also very yummy. Very cool scene if you like dark, more intimate bar settings. Service is good but not “in your face” kinda good. Locals go here a lot and you get that sense when you’re there.

Don't sleep on the food here. Very very clean, home cooked, quality ingredients. We will be coming back again soon. Definitely underrated here on google. The bar has a great welcoming staff and a divey vibe which we appreciate. Again, still very clean. See you soon!

I love the vibe and atmosphere! Everyone is so friendly and the drinks are really cheap. On Mondays is BOGO drinks. Wednesdays they have $4 whiskey. They have karaoke on Thursdays and Sundays. People come just for the burgers and chicken sandwiches. I highly recommend!!!

A relaxed, local dive for when you just want a drink with friends without the fuss and guss. Why not, right. One billiards table, good karaoke, good drinks. Food choices are limited.

We had such a great time at Tommy's. Great burgers and personable service. A basket of popcorn is put on your table, usually by Tommy himself, before you even realize it. We stopped in before the Tigers game & caught their shuttle to the game.

I went to Tommy's with a group on a total lark while at a convention. We just Googled "best wings in Detroit", Tommy's was one of the first listed, just a short walk from the hotel and we all liked the look of the place and reviews. Definitely the best find of our trip. This was definitely a neighborhood bar, it seemed most of the people knew each other, and there were definitely some colorful characters. The staff was great and very accommodating, and the vibe was really friendly all around. The look is definitely dive bar, but it was clean as can be and in really good shape, and the neighborhood was safe and walkable. We were expecting run of the mill bar food, but it was definitely a cut above. The wings, tots and onions rings were all great. Their house rub on the wings came off a little salty at first, but none of us could stop eating them, especially the hot sauce provided. Great bar food, friendly patrons and an outstanding staff made for a great night out. Definitely will be heading back to Tommy's next time I'm in town

Yesterday I was broke down with a blow out tire by this establishment. The workers 2 women and a man, thought myself and a newborn being broke down was the funniest situation to them. They came and sat outside making remarks about how I should not expect them to help while laughing. The man stated she got somebody to call. I never expected anyone to help me that's while I was on Google learning how to change the tire. You all are not good people, horrible people actually. I was there from 9pm until 1am waiting for roadside and was humiliated for half of the time. At one point the police tried to help me and what a coincidence , the male worker comes out with waters, walks past me to give to officers and then hands me one. You were the worst and you know what I'm talking about. I help everyone but even if you aren't going to help, humiliation is not needed

Irish pub playing Mexican music- where can you go wrong! Personable and kind bartenders. It's a great local bar.

Rob 1115 & staff were very attentive and all around stellar service was provided… 140 year old building has good energy. Thank you so much for making today highly memorable & special. Grateful to have survived long enough to experience your amazing establishment… Love Michelle 1115

Hidden Gem. Stopped in after a football game. Good, honest. food. Well done. Excellent service. All our dishes we’re wonderful Bahn mi bowl, shrimp tacos, wings, poutine, baked cheese, ravioli (exceptional). Highly highly recommend.

You were out of gluten free anything.. but it feels like there is potential so we might give it a try another time.. also we ordered a Reuben sandwich without bread and they charged us for ranch We have since come back a few times and had good experinces with staff and enjoyed the food/drinks. Glad whatever that smell was is gone now. This is on our Rover route so you will be seeing more of us in the future. Happy birthday breakfast here. It was really good. Had anothwr nice lunch here.

Overall great dining experience! It was the holiday weekend and I’m confident they got swarmed so keep that in mind. The photos on the menu don’t do justice for how good the Irish cuisine is. Absolutely no misses! Plus!!! Sunday is karaoke night and it was a ton of fun watching the performances. Overall looking forward to going back

It's a great place with good music but entrance fees are to high

Best new spot in Southwest Detroit, great music and great atmosphere.

Came here with a group of friends to have tapas and cocktails. We made a reservation because of our group size(7). However, I believe they can accommodate couples or smaller groups without one. Love the ambience of this place. Sophisticated vibe which lends itself to any type of event, dressy, casual, romantic night with your significant other or just hanging out with friends or family. Ample indoor and outdoor rooftop seating. Umbrellas and fire pits with a beautiful backdrop of the city. I will definitely be returning.

The Kamper’s rooftop was something I had not been to because im usually in Detroit during the winter. It was such a pleasure to go finally. The decor is bold and warm complete with evergreen colored velvet curtains drawn open by guided metallic leaves. The skyline is perfection and so is the ability to look all the way up at to the top of the Book Cadillac Building in all of its glory. The champagne and cocktails are well priced and the bar staff incredibly welcoming.

I went to this establishment for the first time this evening. One waitress was extremely rude and argumentative to the point that I had to remind her that this was her job and being professional was of the utmost importance. I avoided her for the remainder of the evening. I ordered food which took approximently an hour to be served even though there was few patrons. The food was extremely salty and unappetizing and was not able to get anyone's attention to ask for sauce or complain of the over saturation of seasoning. Overall I wasn't impressed, wouldn't come back and feel as if the $10 entrance fee to a "hood bar" was totally unjustified.

I like the music its Grown & SEXY crowd no fights everybody get along it a s super nice place on the inside no problems you can really enjoy yourself.

This prohibition bar is a bit worn and older in the tooth, but it's amazing. The bartenders Coach, Kimberly, Kristina, Red and the others each have different personalities that make this place welcoming to everyone. Keep up the great job.

Fun times going there with friends . I wish it would stay open until 2a during the week. I get it, but for Jeff Chalmers crew, it would be nice to have our neighborhood bar stay open without having to go to Grosse Pointe bars

I absolutely loved the vibe here. Great wine, wonderful service, great small plates. Gregory knew so much about the wines, which I appreciated so much since we've been all over the country trying wine. We will definitely be back again to this rooftop bar. Expect small tables, great views, small plates, and great drinks. It's not a restaurant, it's way better.

The location is great, you have the option to sit outside or inside. We chose to be indoors because it was just too hot but zero regrets. I had the tainted love cocktail and my cousin had the superfly, which were both amazing!!! I also had an off the menu drink which needs to be on the menu ASAP. Michael made me “The Tickle”. Literally the most amazing & super refreshing drink. Like literally perfect. Make it a permanent drink immediately especially for summer time. If Michael is unavailable ask for Megan because she’s just as amazing. The crab cake was decent but the drinks are definitely the best.

I worked security here yesterday. What a great little place. The staff is incredible. The food is very good. I enjoyed the experience very much. It's a wonderful place to meet up with friends (or make new ones) before, during, and after a ball game. You can't do any better than this. Keep it up!

Great before a tigers game the chicken with light and fluffy breading fresh. Same with the fries. Great out doors as well

I attended Sandbox Sunday for karaoke two weeks in a row and had a great time. Last week, I decided to order food and it was still happy hour so I got the grilled salmon burger and fries and jalapeno poppers with a ginger ale. Food was good and hot. Service was great. If you want comfortable seating, definitely make reservations for the booths. I don't have friends so I get there early for the free seating.

My first time at the venue and we had so much fun Deejay Gurt and Big Dog Blast was the perfect combination for music, waitress staff was pleasant and attentive (that’s such a plus) all around a great .I #mixbricktown @mixbricktown #buzzybooth

The bouncer tried to say my real Ohio ID was fake and embarrass me for no reason. Literally had to show my Facebook to get into the bar, of course, they were extremely rude during the whole situation. Never had this experience at other clubs, which is cool because I wont be coming back here. I will say that the club itself was pretty fun, but the experience getting in definitely rubbed me the wrong way.

Really cool venue with interesting cocktails on tap (crazy!) and lots of cool arcade games made just for them. Went to see a show here, it's a bit hard to find as the entry is down an alley and the sound engineer seemed to have a rough time (all three bands had issues with their feedback so they didn't know how they sounded) but otherwise it was a great experience.

Wow.. this place is a hidden gem!!!! Great people great food and great ambiance I’ll definitely be revisiting THANKS to IVAN the bartender, the chef YOLANDA for the amazing grilled chicken salad and my CAREN was amazing great job to you all ❤️

I have had 2 birthday parties here over the last 10 years, countless business dinners and just recently enjoyed my first brunch here turning 30 years young. Never gets old. Kai, our server, was absolutely bossing the floor while we were there and the food, as always was proper. You know it’s great when your phone doesn’t eat first. The attached photo is the only one I got. Amazing place for food and rinks and even better place for a proper groove at night time. 10/10 recommend!

I had such an amazing experience at Parlay Detroit thanks to our waitress, Alyssa! From the moment we sat down, she made us feel welcomed and taken care of. She was attentive without being overbearing, super knowledgeable about the menu, and gave us great recommendations that did not disappoint. What really stood out was her positive energy—she had a genuine smile the entire time and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. You can tell she truly cares about her guests having a great time. It’s rare to find service that feels both professional and personal, but Alyssa nailed it. If you go to Parlay Detroit, definitely ask for Alyssa—you’ll be in the best hands!

Great bar, food A1, TVs all around with every sports game on. You'll have a great view no matter which seat you take. My waitress was immaculate. The music was tasteful too!! Will definitely return. My mom got the macaroni and cheese she liked it. She got the greens too, which I tasted. They were very flavorful but VERY SPICY. SO BEWARE. The shrimp fried rice was good too.

Jordan gave us excellent service!! Great food! Excellent aesthetic! This is a place that embodies good vibes. A place that emphasizes Detroit’s spirit! I’ll be sure to come back again! I’ve been here twice and it’s been great every time!

We made reservations for an early dinner but didn't realize they don't serve meals till later on. The drinks were amazing. They have Happy Hour so Old Fashioned, Paper Plane and other cocktails were $10. The apps were very nice and the staff were friendly. Nice looking bar!

I paid a fee to secure a booth on my birthday and was told to arrive before 11pm. Arrived around 10:30 just to find out that my booth was sold just to be moved outside to a hard ass couch with no cushion or table. Mind you it was wet and chilly out from the rain. Won’t be back..drinks were nasty and it hardly was anybody in there anyway after seeing that I understood why. This place is not what it used to be and I won’t be back. My party guest said the same.

I was saddened by this place. We were there to celebrate two birthdays. The service was HORRIBLE!!!!! The food was not good; we spent $100 on 3 snacks and not only was it not favorable, but it was cold. There was one bartender to 100 people (on a Saturday) that’s ridiculous. The party that I was with purchased two booths, bottles on bottles of champagne and hookah’s. The restrooms weren’t kept tidy, after many requests that it needed attention. The service was the pits! Poor management!!! The only reason why we stayed as long was because the DJ was really good! He kept the crowd engaged and that’s the only reason I gave the atmosphere 4 stars. Very disappointing!

Came here for the first time on a Saturday night and I had a great time. Drinks were nice and strong and the music was good. It got packed and a lot of ppp weren’t dancing but the night life is what you make it. Only downsides are how packed the bathroom gets. They definitely could use a bigger bathroom

Stopped here for a short period of time while out with some friends coming from floods. Would for sure say this place was much better then floods but still pretty unorganized and a little messy. The service was also slow here but they were super busy during our visit. Less of a dance floor here but I don't dance anyways haha!

**The whiskey disco: A Techno Lover's Paradise** If you're looking for a place to lose yourself in the rhythm and forget about the world above, the Basement Beatdown is your underground oasis. This dimly lit, sweat-soaked dive bar is a techno lover's dream, with pounding basslines that shake your soul and a crowd that's more like a family. Just be prepared to navigate a maze of cables, dodge flying glowsticks, and maybe even stumble upon a secret rave room. But hey, that's all part of the adventure, right?

Very impressed, lookin for a late night snack, though they weren't still serving we had some very good brew, the bartender was very pleasant the Cornerstone Barrel part as well as any staff that we came into contact with from the entry on...we also visited the Whiskey Disco which the DJ was on point the vibe was live! WE WILL RETURN! #detroitchic

My sister celebrated her birthday her It was actually a pretty fun spot. It had enough room to still dance around and the prices were very cheap.

Stopped in late last night while out in Greektown. Loved the sign, so we navigated the construction and popped in for a drink. Everything was great; I got The AM with vanilla vodka at the bartender’s suggestion and it was amazing. A shortbread cookie martini with a caramel rim, so good! I wish I would have asked her name- she was awesome. Try the spinach dip with the pita chips- they’re addictive. We also split the calamari and it was cooked perfectly, not rubbery at all. They were also cool with us wandering in tipsy with our Astoria pastry box in tow. We will definitely be back!

An AMAZING GOTH Club! (they have other type of music events and such but I usually don't go to those) staff is always nice and the people are pretty cool. I always have a lot of fun when I go... Never had any challenges or issues here at City. I recommend it for sure for the Goth Night!

Best goth club in town, hands down 11/10 would recommend! Jay, the resident DJ and photographer, is incredible on stage and very friendly and welcoming. My friends and I come here at least twice a month and always recommend it to new people! The door guy is amazing too. Before I turned 21, he always gave me a "dad speech" about not drinking and keeping it a friendly and safe place for everyone. It made me feel very safe. The security guys are also awesome, I've had great conversations with them and they're very good at their jobs. The one time I felt slightly unsure about another patron and mentioned it to them, they said they'd been keeping an eye on him and asked if there was anything they could do to make me feel more comfortable. The bartenders are fantastic too, very efficient! The vibes are immaculate and I'll be coming here for all my nights out.

Was hoping for better. I think that they are too busy for there own good. Casadeas and Philly both dry and good luck getting something wet. it was a game night but I would believe that they knew that before I had arrived. Wish I had taken food pics. Live and learn. FYI: Get seated for dine in because at the bar they wanted our stools to go standing room only. No plans to seat us elsewhere. I would pay a couple bucks more for better food. Best location in town.

If you’re going to a tigers game, where else would you go? Rooftop bar with amazing vibes, games, live music, wide variety of drinks, and a solid menu. Food is pretty average bar food, but you know that with a few drinks in you it won’t even matter. Mikey took great care of us and even let me charge my phone behind the bar.

I was seated in Jamie’s section and she personally went behind the bar and made my drink! Her service was beyond excellent! She was polite, attentive, and an exceptional bartender/server.

I was in need of some good food and some AC after the Tigers game and did not disappoint. Wings and chilli were killer. Brandon was a beast behind the bar and was greeted with super friendly vibes from Spank the security guy. It was just what the doctor ordered. Have to siesta but prolly will check out the night scene.

Having a blast right now at the grand opening! Quite a variety of dancers...LOTS of them and great looking too! Even the guests are dressed to impress and gold is the color tonight...lots of gold and packed with shiny, happy people having a good time!! Then the bartender served me the BEST Between the Sheets cocktail ever...if you like Cognac, white rum and cointreau....you should try it here :) On a final note - valet parking is provided, dj kept it going right, restrooms are well maintained, everything looks new and is clean. Overall a great, fun and safe environment for a night out with friends and of course being surrounded by the loveliest ladies in the area!

$40 just to park and get in, females $10 males $20 and BORING soon as we entered. No dancers on the pole maybe the first few minute when we were in there but after that nothing. Dancers sit next to guys and literally sit there. May get up for a few to strip but no SHOW on the stage. Bar only breaks $100 couldn’t break a $20 for me. Wouldn’t come again.

Stopped here after dinner. It was free before 11:00 pm. The DJ was spinning and mixing with some nice house music, that was off the chain. The lounge set up along the wall, with the dance floor in the middle along with the open roof top, made for an amazing party vibe and dance atmosphere. Come with your dancing shoe.

Good music. Everyone was nice. I didn't try the food. (Yet) Great drinks 🍸

We made a reservation for the roof and we were a little early. The man at the front door wouldn’t let us go in early. Even though when we went to the rooftop it was pretty empty. The host was really nice upstairs! There is Mexican food truck food there only. Completely different menu than downstairs, so be aware of that. Unfortunately I didn’t notice if gratuity was added onto my bill. If it was I was not notified, and I find that to be SUPER DECEIVING AND WILL NOT GO BACK. People need to be notified if gratuity was added. We only had 4 people.

3.9 stars feels like a stretch. We had reservations for the rooftop not realizing the menus were different. For drinks my table ordered two margaritas and a double shot of Don Julio, the margaritas were watered down and left a lot to be desired. The “double” shot of Don Julio, LAUGHABLE - I was charged $32 for a single shot as no where in America was my serving a double. All the food we ordered was lukewarm and subpar. The steak tacos were awful…the steak was way overcooked, greasy and inedible. The chicken and veggies (mushroom) tacos were only marginally better. The queso was absolutely disgusting we tried to enjoy it and couldn’t - the texture was off and it was greasy and lacked flavor. The only thing that was halfway decent was the chips salsa and guac and even that needed a dash of salt. The service was also lacking, we didn’t get water refills until we were leaving. To sum up the experience…this restaurant is for people looking for an aesthetically pleasing place to grab some content not food. I spent $142 including a tip for a meal that was trash. Also, I’m still unsure if a tip was included so I may have double tipped. Do yourself a favor and find anywhere else to eat…this place ain’t it.

We did not eat here (the food did look good, though), but stopped in for a few drinks prior to the baseball game. It's literally right across the street from the stadium. There are two floors, so there is plenty of seating. The staff was very nice and friendly. There are motorcycles hanging from the ceiling. It has fun vibes.

I have been here a handful of times by myself or with friends. My experiences is always the same. The last particular time I was here having dinner before a Christian concert I was attending at Little Caesars arena next door with some friends. I stopped in and had some dry rub ribs that were actually really good 10/10. Service on the other hand is always all over the place the waitress who waited on us was at the bar speaking to another server loudly about customers and her co-workers 1/10. That's mad disrespecful. Trust me I get it if you're having a bad day but do it quietly to yourself or even in the back of the restaurant not in front of paying customers that was really rude. Anyway, every time I asked for a refill of my water or sauce for my food it never came. We eventually all got up and left after paying our bill of course. Definitely did not leave a tip. I've made up my mind up on going back here. It's overrated‼️ overall nice building with never enough seating and long wait times 5/10

Seemed great when I walked in. Bartender raised price of the same old fashioned 2nd time I ordered. Girl seemed nice and ordered a shot for her, Don Juilio and priced at $25. She ignored me after ordering it so I finished it and left. Avoid this place.

Stopped in after an event last night. Great atmosphere, a wide variety and enjoyable time. Their food is fantastic. Everyone was friendly, hospitable and kind. Our favorite downtown club.

Honestly was not that great of an experience unfortunately. The food and service just was not up to par. Really like the set up though and the way they rep our teams out here in Detroit. Lots of cool art and a nice setting just really needs to fix the service side of things. Order was wrong and everything...

5$ well shots, 5$ white claws. AMAZING mozzarella sticks. I went during a drag bingo hosted by Zooey Gaychanel which was super fun. Don’t think they host there anymore, but it was still cute.

Was a good experience until the dancer named yoyo took our buddy to the back for his first VIP and told him and us that it was only for 3 songs and never told him when the time was up. He ended up paying close to 500 dollars and when I asked to talk to the manager nothing was offered.She took advantage of it being his first time ever! Don't recommend at all! I had better experience in flint. Won't make that mistake again!

Horrible experience. Barely any dancers not only that one of the dancers tried to lie about the number of songs she danced. Luckily they do keep track so the dancers can’t lie. But she charged me for 6 songs and I had to get money out of the atm. The bouncers went back when I said something and said they keep track of the songs. They got my money back for 3 songs. Yet the atm charges $20 per $100 so I still lost the extra $20 because the stripper lied and I had to pull money out. Absolutely Ridiculous

View is really nice. Depends on who's hosting the party I guess, if you're gonna have a nice time. Those stairs are ridiculous!

I have plenty of years of experience partying on the Florida coastline and dancing to Caribbean Spanish music. This event in Detroit on Friday nights is BOSS'MATIC. Keep up the good work. My investors had a wonderful time. Stay BOSS'MATIC.

I absolutely love coming here on Friday and Saturday nights. Me and my friends always have a good time. It’s always and good vibe and it be LIT. The music is always great, the food is great, and the bartenders are always fast.

Lit experience last night. First time, plenty of dance space. giant super main bar in middle. cute and hard working staff. i would have a bar girl always at entrance to upstairs where they check in coats. so all vip even later walking in gets any goodies and a drink in hand haha. maybe im just buujiee but anywho. good stuff ya'll LBR Innovations LLC

Went here for a frat formal, and it was the worst experience ever. The staff all had poor attitudes, and they over charged us—told me they “only had top shelf, Titos,” then proceeded to charge us $15+ for one shot of Titos bruh. Idk what their standards are but Titos is not on the top of my shelf. They also stole my friend’s flask; told him to leave it outside and they took it away and wouldn’t give it back when we left. 0/10 would not recommend. If someone told me, “We’re going to bleu detroit,” I would respond, “No we’re not.”

$5 for a mini cup of water or $8 for a mini water bottle??? CRIMINAL. Honestly unethical I don’t know how this place is still in business they were out of toilet paper and paper towels in the bathroom AND I had to spend the price of a drink for WATER. I hate this place

Came here with my partner Valentine’s Day weekend. We stayed at Hollywood casino Greektown so it was about a 3 minute walk from the door of our room to the door of the bar! We reserved VIP and met friends there. The waitresses were all very sweet and helpful. The later it got, it definitely became more “club” but I’m not complaining! Bottle service wasn’t extremely expensive, pretty average for the big city. Had a great time and would definitely come back!

Seated and served right away as it was an early Thursday evening. Our server was very attentive. The music was a little loud but didn't bother us at all. Establishment doesn't normally take CC's, but the manager has a square for payment if you ask. Other than that, it's cash only. WARNING- READ YOUR BILL!! GRATUITY IS INCLUDED ON BILL ALREADY!!!!
