46 Best Bar & Grill in Detroit

“Best restaurant in Detroit Metro airport sit at the bar for first class service!“

“*EDIT:
The owner did reach out to me to apologize and offer cleaning/replacements for my clothing. They also spoke with the staff to make a training and learning lesson for them which I appreciate. I’m changing my rating of the experience based on Owen’s response, as most owners do not attempt to rectify a bad situation.

I have never had an experience as bad as the one I just had at Firebird Tavern. Needless to say I will never return or recommend this place to anyone. The visit started well and our server was very pleasant and attentive. Halfway through our visit, a full tray of drinks and shots was spilled on me to the point that a mop was needed and a wet floor signed was placed behind me. Not only that, but my white shirt is stained and not reparable. I was soaked. The server eventually did apologize to me and told me that she was personally comping ONE of my drinks. First of all, I would NEVER expect the server to comp any drinks. Second of all, I was never approached by the manager to access the damage or talk about comps, WHICH I would assume from the establishment itself. When we were brought our bill, I asked the server, ‘what is the establishment taking care of for my damages’. The manager eventually came to talk to me and did not seem aware of the situation, even after many servers explained what happened and I showed him my clothing that was still wet and stained. He simply replied that the server was comping one drink and he would see what he could do. The server came back with the same bill, no initiative from the bar or manager and I paid for the bill as it was. How is this acceptable from a bar that my table paid several rounds of drinks and food for the night? I have never experienced this lack of care in my life and cannot express my disappointment and frustration with the management and overall experience of Firebird. What an embarrassment to our city. As a resident of the downtown area, I would never expect such a terrible experience.“

“I go here every Monday for open mic night. It is one of my favorite places to perform because of the fun atmosphere, the fantastic food, and the friendly folks who frequent it.“

“5 stars (only because 10 isn’t an option) If I could marry a bar, this would be my messy little soulmate. The vibe? Immaculate. The bartenders? Absolute legends. One handed me a drink and a shot of unsolicited life advice—and honestly, both slapped. The owner greeted us like we were long-lost cousins who owed him money but he missed us anyway. They even had a shuttle, which was perfect because we were on our way to an event and needed transportation that didn’t involve us drunk-sprinting through Detroit. And yes, we came back after the event, because clearly we have good taste and no self-control. 10/10 would get roasted by the bartenders again, spill a drink on myself, and still call it the best night ever. We love this little chaos goblin of a dive bar, and we’re coming back the second we’re in town. Save us a seat and maybe a bar rag.“

“Great bloody’s -you won’t b disappointed“

“Originally from Michigan but now live in Florida. Went to Detroit for the weekend to attend Red Wings games. Looked for perch dinners and found Andrew’s. Absolutely awesome perch with a generous portion. Loved the atmosphere of the old time era. Staff exceptionally friendly as was the owner. Would definitely recommend this place and can’t wait to return. What I liked was the minimal breading so you have the true taste of perch. This is by far the place to go if you love perch.“

“Amazing food and great waitstaff.“

“Just got a nice craft beer before the start of a tiger game. Friendly bar tender and fast service. Nice sized craft and standard beer menu. Low top, booth and bar seating. I liked the environment that made it feel like you were at a pub and not inside a baseball park. Pricey but I would return.“

“The food was great but what really impressed me was the the contagiously friendly staff. Highly recommend!!“

“Long overdue. Finally a place in the Eastside where everybody is somebody and all people are welcomed and accepted. Be clear, this is Detroit's version of 'Cheers.'

Texas Bar and grill is one of the rare places in Southeastern Michigan where people of differing backgrounds can drink, socialize, watch a game and have a great time. This is a very cool, and large sports bar with welcoming staff, decent prices and a wide variety of music.“

“Been awhile since I have been to the bar, I got the Southwest Detroit Egg rolls. They were pretty good, the bartender was exceptional. A lill small but they do gave a bigger out door tent in the back. My 1st time going there but I'm pretty sure I will be back.“

“Great People , Great food, awesome entertainment ��“

“Love the Blue Great vibes Cozy food delicious and drinks not watered down strong everything so reasonable and everyone from the owner Bartenders Staff chef all welcoming and friendly make you feel at home..“

“Ate here on Red Wings Game day, Fantastic food, Super Friendly staff, Great prices and free parking for the Early birds!! Highly Recommend this on game day or any other day.“

“Yearly visit with my kids Birthday“

“Great place! As visitors to Detroit, we were welcomed and treated as if we were regulars that came in every day. A nice, straight forward place with good prices and new friends on both sides of the bar. Be careful of the Lot Lizard shots, though. ;)“

“Love it!!! The atmosphere is amazing for the mature crowds. I go weekly and highly recommend it!!“

“Great entertainment professional staff great place to take a date or go single it's the place to be ����������“

“Best bar in Detroit! We always through private parties at the back as well as stop by after a concert, dinner, or if we need a night out. Ted’s Burgers is my new fav burger place located inside the bar! You get to play your own songs using their jukebox which is a vibe. 10/10 recommend!“

“The food and atmosphere is excellent!“

“Sunday karaoke fun times!“

“Great food and drinks‼️‼️🥃🍸🌮🧀🍔“

“Love ❤️ this place, great place to give party“

“looking to have a birthday party on March 16“

“Over 25 crowd (most patrons were 40s +). There is a $15 minimum to use a card so if you're just having 1 drink, bring cash. No cover. Pool tables and bar. I was told they no longer sell food at this Bar & Grill but I didn't confirm if the kitchen closes very early, is temporarily closed or closed indefinitely. There is outdoor space and also a food truck up the alley behind the businesses on Grand River. The staff was friendly and there was plenty of seating. It's not huge but there was a perfect number of people to enjoy yourself and not be crowded with people breathing COVID unknowingly. Old school music with some hustle tracks thrown in. I would go back.“

“Grown men/women club. Especially if you like the the hood bars“

“Stopped into Cutter’s for a quick drink and found ourselves staying! Great atmosphere, stellar customer service especially Ms. Shalla! Drinks were great and food looked delicious. We will be back!“

“Great place to be nice and safe grown-up fun bartenders great sense of humor the food is great prices on the drinks very cheap and Detroit artist Jovan Blakely also hosts Monday night open-mic with specials on the drink and $5 at the door entry fee security at the door from 7pm. to 2am.“

“listen the first time I came here I didn’t even get nothing I was just with my cousin doing a doordash order with her , was just picking up somebody order but something told me that I need to come back and eat from here. So yesterday and today I finally order some food from here and man when I tell you it is so good! I’ve never tasted Mac n cheese that actually tasted good from a restaurant , no matter where I went Mac n cheese would only always taste better at home. But this place? Oh yeah they got it down PACK the best Mac n cheese I done had from a restaurant and them lamb chops is so so good.“

“The food is no ordinary bar food. The staff is respectful and professional. The owner is very polite. It’s black owned and the outside is lite up. So I felt safe getting out my car. The music is nice. I will be definitely having my bday party there.“

“Food was soooo good! Our server Kate was great and the cook Nate made all of our food delicious! If you’re staying at the Doubletree by Hilton, PLEASE stop by here.“

“I would like to thank Tony and his staff for always taking care of WSUPD. After a memory event for our fallen officer, Tony sent several trays of food to our table, sat down and talked to us, and hugged us as we left. Tony is very generous of his time and talent. The food is great and the atmosphere fantastic, come check them out.“

“I love the drinks and Donna Jean Fine azz“

“Amazing vegan options!!! If you don’t see it… ask!“

“It's a very friendly atmosphere and the food is good“

“I came here for my birthday last Friday with a group of friends. We had all just arrived in town and wanted to feast and celebrate before kicking off our Movement weekend. Our reservation was originally for 10 people but we ended up having a few more guests. It was crowded and busy due to a Tigers game. But the staff was very accommodating. As soon as some tables cleared they were able to connect more for our group. Despite how busy it was everyone had a good time. The food was excellent and the staff was amazing. It was a little chaotic in the beginning but everything ended up working out, and we couldn't have been happier. And the professionalism and hospitality we saw from the staff was top notch. Thank you Hopcat for hosting a memorable birthday party. We really appreciated your service. We will be back again!“

“Happy to be from the D. Amazing Corned Beef sandwich and good seasoned fries, shrimp pasta is the best in the city I've had. Kool-aid is that deal... never had a bad meal here...“

“Visited my favorite Starter's in MIDTOWN for dinner with my friends on Sunday afternoon August 11, 2024. Food was DELICIOUS as usual. Waitress was very polite, etc. Great service - but come on with scanning to get alcoholic beverages, lol and a $1.00 for some more bread. The four of us ate the "three" pieces we were given. I still love you all, but this is a criticism from a very loyal customer who has been visiting your Restuarant for YEARS! I did my undergraduate and graduate studies at Wayne State University right down the street. Starter's has been my spot. Peace.“

“Great food and service we had lamb chops and Alfredo and I Definitely recommend them both. Music selection is good and great staff.“

“Nice music nice food, gorgeous women“
