9 Muses Bar & Grill Reviews
This is an iconic Greektown bar and restaurant that has been serving the community and others for decades, along with their companion restaurant, Meli Cafe, the best breakfast/brunch/lunch spot around. Great food and drink and nothing beats a nice day when they open all the windows and let the fresh air in. Friendly staff and customers and wonderful owners. A true gem.
The Hospitality, Food and Staff are absolutely outstanding. I appreciate how they keep the Greek culture thriving at this legendary place.
Shoutout to Steve for the amazing Freddo and hospitality!
Definitely a must when you’re in Greektown!

9 Muses Bar & Grill is a popular spot for a late dinner or any meal, serving Greek favorites like bougatsa, pork belly gyro, and frape coffee. The staff and owner provide excellent service, making guests feel special. The atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly, ideal for happy hour, lunch, or dinner. The restaurant offers a great wine deal—$25 for some delicious Greek wine. Customers can enjoy the cute patio when the weather is nice or relax inside in a more dive bar-like setting. The menu features tasty starters like lamb skewers, octopus, and bread. Popular entrees include pork shoulder with Greek fries and salad, and the mixed grill with shrimp, calamari, and octopus. The food’s quality and flavor are highly praised, even if prices are a bit high for some. It’s a highly recommended place for a good dining experience.
Recent reviews highlight that the food is amazing and the service is fast. Many mention the espresso martini as one of the best they’ve had, with some visiting just for cocktails. Guests enjoy the friendly and knowledgeable staff, and the open-air atmosphere with a breezy summer night setting. The gyro plate with Greek roasted potatoes is a favorite, with the potatoes especially praised for their perfect texture and flavor. Portions are generous, and prices are considered reasonable for the area. Overall, 9 Muses Bar & Grill is appreciated for its tasty food, great drinks, and welcoming vibe.
