50 Best Bars in Detroit

“Luke was an excellent driver on Detroit Rolling Pub. He was lots of fun and a careful and alert driver.“

“The best restaurant I've been to in Midtown Detroit. A must visit if you are in Detroit. Not your traditional Mexican restaurant. Upscale with some very eclectic dishes that are absolutely delicious. Words can't describe it, you must go and experience my hometown.
Service was top notch as well.“

“Lamb and Osso Bucco were so good, homemade rolls were amazing pillows of goodness and ordered the bread pudding to go but smells amazing“

“Everything was good. It was our first time there.. I don’t appreciate the fact that they write in the tip without telling you .I had to go back because I double tipped and nobody said anything . They let me do it without saying a word.. they should tell you that they’re adding the tip in before you pay the bill. I didn’t realize what I did until I got to my car. I had to go back and straighten it out at the restaurant. I have four kids under the age of five. It wasn’t easy for me to do this. When you’re at the table with four kids and you’re trying to pay the bill, you don’t have time to look at it to see that the tip was added in. I gave the Service five stars because I think it was good Service. I just don’t like the idea of that she knew that all this was going on ,and didn’t remind me they had already put the 20% in .“

“My cousin wed their beautiful bride last night and their original post wedding brunch location fell through at the last minute. Groups of us came through right as Supergeil opened. Now let me tell you, they moved mountains to host our celebration. The food was incredible and the warm hummus was some of the best I’ve ever had. Thank you thank you thank you for today! Cheers 🍸 10/10 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Absolutely amazing sliders and very friendly staff. love having the assortment. made for 3 happy kids too. would definitely drive the 6hrs just for green dot stables !!!“

“Went there for the first time for lunch today had the burger and fries. Everything was top-notch prices were really good. Service was great. The old Bar feeling was great in the history that the place has is amazing. Definitely will be back here more often for the delicious burgers and fries.“

“Fantastic food. Pizza was amazing as well as the chicken Parm.“

“If you are reading reviews for Two Way Inn you know what you are looking for and this is it. Exactly as its reputation suggests - a local, family run pub with cheap drinks, friendly service and tons of character & history. Apparently they have some homemade (literally) food 1 or 2 days a week that sounded like a great bargain. During my visit a local came in with some fresh pies and I was offered a slice. A must visit for sure.“

“This bar is fantastic!!!! Great Bartenders, The people are fantastic!!! They have a wide variety of live music, great outdoor patio, and ice cold Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. I'm going back there from Wisconsin on the 4th and 5th. Can't wait!!! It will be a gas even on a weeknight. Well especially if you're retired.“

“Had a work event here and I celebrated my birthday this past weekend love the vibes. Enjoy the fact that you can hang out inside or hang out outside but still enjoy the music. That drinks are not super expensive. Parking isn’t too hard to find in the area quick easy spot to access other bars.“

“We had an amazing experiance at Stadt Garten which we visited on a whim after seeing a show at the Masonic temple. The host, Michael, was very knowledgeable and friendly, and willing to give us a recommendation and let us try several wines before choosing one to drink by the glass. The selection was unique and made me want to return. It wasn’t too busy, but had the feeling that if you knew about this place, you would return on a regular basis.“

“The service was great as was the food. They are so polite. More than willing to answer questions. They greet everyone that walks in. 10/10 would definitely recommend.“

“Excellent service, delicious food and it all happened under the red lighting. Be prepared to park on the street as the parking lot only has 6 or 7 parking spot.“

“We’ve been here a few times, and each time is an awesome and unique experience. The open air dining room is a fun atmosphere, and the food is always delicious. Lawrence gave us complimentary champagne, and our server, Yanine, was perfect!“

“Really cool spot. Happened by on accident on our way to a Monday night concert and decided to pop in for a drink instead of rushing to the venue. I like that they have stuff on tap and a large selection of canned drinks. It was very relaxed and chill, perfect for my beer loving millennial heart who just wants to sit in peace and be unbothered. Immediately adding to my Detroit favorites list and will be back!“

“Food was amazing and staff was incredible“

“Not only is the food great, but the service is amazing! Jess always goes above and beyond to make sure im always happy! I recommend the 1529 IPA as well! Happy hour is awesome!“

“the bartender was excellent as was the atmosphere!“

“Been there two times now. Perfect neighborhood bar for folks in Brush Park. Food was very good and service was excellent. My wife and I are “Summer birds” . We reside in Arizona and reside in Brush Park when weather is good so it’s a perfect neighborhood place for a nightcap.“

“Awesome place. Full of fun for everyone. We’ll be back for sure!“

“Great bar and very friendly people here. The neighborhood is such a great place!“

“Updated as of 9/7/26: their current menu is my favorite they've had in probably a year. Definitely get in here and try these drinks. Still the nicest bartenders in town

My favorite bar in the city. Their cocktails are original and fairly priced. They change the menu every few months. The bartenders and bouncer are the nicest people! Off the beaten path so not usually terribly busy.“

“not from the area and went there on a saturday. music was so good, the bartenders were super nice and the atmosphere was so much fun, met the owner and he was super cool to my friends and I. ill be back next time im in town. 10/10 great place to grab some beverages“

“Orange Peel Theory is hands-down one of the best summer drinks I’ve ever had. The blend of Holiday Spirit Epsilon Tequila with coconut, orange, and citrus is insanely smooth, refreshing, and just the right balance of tropical and tangy. It’s like a beach vacation in a glass. I’d serve this at every campsite, tailgate, and backyard hang if I could—absolute 10/10!“

“Came here for a night out with my fiancé and ended up having a blast. They have all the old school games, which fills up my happy little old-school heart. The bar was amazing, and the drinks were fantastic. I will definitely be back as I still have a crap ton of coins. The only con I have is that there's no tickets or prizes for winning the games.“

“Highlands Detroit is my new favorite happy hour spot! From the minute you enter into the elevator, you are greeted with spectacular views of the Detroit River and Windsor. The views get even better when the sun starts to set over the river. Stunning! The food and service were spectacular as well. Our food was cooked perfectly, just as we ordered it, and the service was exactly the elevated experience we expected. We'll be back!“

“Best mixed drinks I’ve ever had!! Love the atmosphere and the owners are so welcoming and friendly.“

“Its a bar. Usually when I pull up its techno/electro. They usually have a dope lineup especially if Shawscape is on the lineup. It be packed out and they also have a outside area attached. Every now and then its a food truck or they have food on the outside. Decent size bar and selection also. Water is $5 drinks usually 15+“

“Best neighborhood bar in Detroit!! Started going there with Pearl & Sov when I was 13 Love that bar!!“

“Great 'dive' bar with real good food and an exceptional jukebox.“

“We decided to try a new spot before dinner near by. Was pleasantly surprised on how centered and awesome this place is.
Very basic and that’s what makes it great. Old school photos and just a small black & white tv playing old video tapes.
No draft beers. Just a few selections and some custom drinks to choose from. The best deal is the beer & shot for $7.
People were personable and I’d easily come back.“

“There's a thing about eastern market. It's alive during the day during market hours and then, it gets quiet. Pocket change was exactly what we were looking for to keep the vibes going! Just on the outskirts of downtown in eastern market. This little high end dive bar keeps dancing. Weekend DJ's and one of the only rooftop bars in the area. The incredible ambiance on the second floor feels like a hidden oasis of what seems to be the biggest spin and twirl of eastern market. I went with a few friends to celebrate a birthday to only feel like we were dancing the night away with the locals of the community. Great cocktails, incredible bar staff.. just ask for a spagett, and you'll feel like one of the locals!

They throw pop ups with surrounding vendors and if you need a late night snack the down stairs has some inedible tasty bites.“

“Yearly visit with my kids Birthday“

“First time we stopped in they were closed for a wedding until 630. Went back after 630 and were able to get right in. Its mostly standing room only if you dont have a reservation. But that does come with a small table. Views were amazing and the service was awesome! Got the Cana de Carba and it was almost the best thing ive ever eaten! Will return with a reservation so I can sit down tho!“

“Best jam space, great staff, dope spot“

“Jumbo’s is the dive bar that all these other wannabe “dive bars” try so hard to be. There is not a single window; the only sunlight here creeps in through the back door. The only food sold here comes in a bag, but food still gets brought in, and usually shared.

The TV in the back is the one with the game on, and the patrons on that side of the bar are locked in. The other TV has on a B-Movie you’ve never heard of, serving as the perfect backdrop for everyone on that side to quip with each other.

There aren’t really strangers here, but if you want to sneak away there’s plenty free open table seating… and a patio… and a four-quarter-push pool table… and a jukebox. This place rocks.“

“Visited Bar Rotunda for lunch and was incredibly happy with the experience. The bartender provided excellent, attentive service from start to finish. For food, I had the ham and Brie sandwich—simple, fresh, and absolutely delicious. To top it off, the espresso martini did not disappoint. Highly recommend stopping by!“

“I stopped in for saki, because I saw they were open. It was a cool little shop. Not too big so don't expect to be able to fit a large group.
This is a nice spot. It's actually kind of tucked away so if you don't know what's there, you may just walk right past it. It was a nice little intimate spot if you want to go grab some sake and vibe out for a little bit. They had anime on the TV so you can actually watch that I guess lol but no it was pretty cool. Staff was really cool too so no complaints about that. The guy knew we were just coming in for a quick drink and was really nice about it. They were closing so he was really cool so I appreciated that. Yeah this is a nice little duck off spot for sure .“

“UPDATED (Restroom Review):
The business has multiple restrooms, but due to their historical building, unfortunately, they are NOT accessible.

They were clean and had decent amenities, however.

Best pint of Guinness in Michigan/Detroit(ish)

Oysters, oysters, oysters, oysters“

“The crowd is nice on Thursday- Sundays , security plenty of parking and nice birthday party events. The drinks are reasonable and the waitresses be on their job. Like a cheers atmosphere you wanna go where everyone knows your name. Ms Krystal is sweet and loving and people be dressed to impress there. TV's seating 💺 ♥️ people call it a "hole in the wall" but those same people be in attendance "lol They come from all over the city to this place you must get there early on Sunday nights cause DJ Tony Rome be on hot blazing 🔥 fire. Dance, entertainment etc. Everytime my out of town guest / sweetheart comes to visit Detroit she has to come there before she leaves its a must.“

“Went for the Yuengling party which was a great way to welcome a classic American beer to Michigan. We were very excited to see Monk's Cafe on the beer list. So many options here for everyone. The James O'Donnell Band was great too!“

“This is a fun little bar on the far southeast side of the city! It's a great place to catch some live music and pub grub! There is a stage set up for bands and a kick-ass sound system! Very cool vibes going on there!“

“I had two brown slushies on a night I thought a band was playing and next thing I knew it was labor day weekend and I was alone at a subway wondering if a train will arrive, where will it take me, and will there ever be another if I don't go on.

It was an interesting precursor, and I obeyed the voice later that told me to stay home and I lucked out on the train having a stop in my closet.

I'll go again, but I doubt I'll go anywhere within eye sight of the brown slushy machine. Sometimes you drink the brown slushy, sometimes it drinks you and you give 5 stars because you are afraid.“

“Pretty, pretty, pretty…pretty good. 🫶🏼“

“Had a great time visiting Tigris for the first time for a photo club event & listening party. With Nick slinging awesome cocktails all night & Fabian on the vinyl, it’s hard to describe the immaculate vibes without just encouraging you to try it for yourself.“
