50 Best Bars near Auburn Hills

“MBTB is a local treasure! The atmosphere is welcoming and perfect for a date night, friends getting together, or even stopping in by yourself! They have something for everyone and the service has always been amazing. I love the commitment to Michigan products from the wine to the snacks all the way to the merchandise. They also offer so many fun events and classes and put a lot of thought and creativity into everything they do! I have been to all of the locations and each one is wonderful. Cheers!“

“I ended up here on a work event. I ordered the chicken tortilla soup with the carnivore pizza. The pizza was fantastic. The soup was half of vegetables which I found unusual. The service was fantastic as well as the pizza, pass on the soup.“

“Came here after being ignored at twin peaks after being seated. Food was decent and service was amazing. Wife needed gluten free. She said the gf crust great. Payton was our waitress. She was amazing. Always checking on us and making sure we didn't need anything and how the food was.“

“This is a nice chili's location. Right next to the mall. The service is great, and food came out fast even with it being busy. Love the $10.99 meal with a drink and soup or salad. It is way better than fast food and you get more for the price! The chicken crispers are one of our favorite meals as well.“

“1st time...won't be the last🕺🎊👍“

“Hazel’s is one of those no-brainer places you hit with friends or family when you’re looking for something casual. Some dishes are better than others but overall the seafood is fresh and tasty. The servers have all been very tentative and nice over the years which makes for a positive experience. This is definitely a place I will continue to patron and recommend.“

“Great atmosphere, delicious drinks and our bartender Brandon was awesome!! Definitely recommend this place!“

“I was pleasantly surprised the first time I went there. Gridiron is your typical neighborhood dive bar with lots of friendly regulars and a charismatic owner. It reminds me of Cheers ( the old sit com). The drinks are inexpensive and generous. A vodka and cranberry was only $3.00, and the bottle of Budwiser was $2.75 . I got a 1/2 pound cheese burger with everything on it for$6.75. I couldn't believe the prices. I would definitely recommend it and have told all my friends about it.

Parking: There is plenty of parking

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible.“

“$5.99 burger & fries, with a whiskey sour 👌😌🥃 I’ll definitely be back, and only wish I had stopped in years sooner!“

“I always love coming here for the great selection of oysters. The space is cozy and overall the experience is usually pleasant. Today our server was honestly a little rude, which made our experience unexpectedly poor. I totally understand if someone is having a bad day but to be rude during the entire service when my whole table was as nice as possible is different. Definitely disappointed with our visit today.“

“Lakeville Station is our go to place! The food is always on point, their staff is super friendly and their drinks... especially today made me feel like I was on an island. Tropical and on point (Mango coconut punch qnd the coconut martini was so refreshing) Love them forget 5 stars... I give the <3 <3 <3 <3 <3“

“This place has great food!! it's definitely a neighborhood bar so if you're from the neighborhood you'll be comfortable there!! Go see my girl Tiffany she's got you!! Owner is super nice let's the party get fun but not out of control...I'll be back“

“Almost Cheers is a nice neighborhood bar. The bartenders are friendly and try to learn everyone's names. The crowd is friendly and willing to converse. They've just started offering food again, though it's all deep-fried, but it's good for what it is. The manager is trying to make everything serviceable and the atmosphere less drab than some may find it currently, so I have good hopes for them for the future.“

“I took my two son’s here today. My youngest has autism and others’ kindly describe him as “a handful.” Accurate. The server comes over and asks for our drinks. She brings them back and my son just throws the cup across the aisle. And then laughs. Autism is super fun like that. Lauren (the server) was super nice about the mess. Another female server cleaned up the milk. They were both very understanding and it helped so much - probably more than they realize! I tipped them both but I hope a manager sees this, because, they are awesome employees!! You’re lucky to have them!“

“Bob and Elmer's it's probably one of the safest bars in Potiac. I am a single female, 5 ft 2 and everybody made sure,I was safe and they even made sure that I made it home,again.
I have been coming to this bar for 40 years,nobody knows me,
It has always ben
AWESOME“

“Dave is amazing. I believe this man holds this business together and deserves recognition and a raise. he makes this experience better.“

“I went to Time Out on a Friday night around midnight in search of some late night grub. It seemed as if this was the only place open in Waterford! I tried the chicken fingers and fries, and they were great! ?? You might say how hard can that be to cook? I've been to other places that it seemed like I told them to cook a dinner impossible. Anyway, the waitstaff was awesome and attentive, plenty of TV screens, there was a great dj spinning that night as well. About 30 people came in not too long after me and atmosphere livened up considerably. The Time Out is definitely a vibe! Oh yeah, I don't drink, but I can vouch for the Coca-Cola tasting good, too ?“

“We had dinner at Tribu last weekend with another couple and it was one of the best dining experiences. Everything from the ambience, staff, customer service and all of their FOOD were exceptional!! The menu was a soft launch menu as it was their grand opening, but there were so many options that we ended up ordering multiple appetizers, entrees and all of the desserts! Everything was absolutely delicious. The duck wings, tagliatelle, and filet were so flavorful. Great food, great company and great atmosphere. Will definitely be back for more!“

“We had a drink and the pretzel bites we awesome“

“West End is comfortable, sterling, food flavorful and reasonable price. I had the Wagu burger $18.00. The bar seats are tall and comfortable. From the decor, food and comfort. This bar is over the top. In our neighborhood we have a "Cheers"“

“Dinner last week was great! Our waitress Annabelle was fantastic! Place was busy, but she gave great individual attention and fast drinks ❤️ we will be back!“

Kid-friendliness: Kids may find it boring.

“This bar has no food.. You are however welcome to bring in any outside food or have it delivered..

For the people who don't understand- ordering a water and not paying for it doesn't make you a customer-It's not illegal to kick out somebody who is loitering.

This bar lets in plenty of people who need to warm up or use the bathroom. They're real easy to deal with as long as everybody is respectful of one another.

Ordering a water and taking up a seat in a bar that only makes money off of selling drinks and then wondering why you got asked to leave isnt ridiculous But maybe it's why you don't own a business yourself. 🧘‍♀️

Jukebox is usually going and the drinks are cheap cheap.

Monday through Sunday, Noon until 2:00 a.m.

Pretty simple hours.“

“Casual, fast, friendly service. Fun!“

“Company Holiday Party!! Food is always fantastic, and drink service for SO many people in the back room was amazing as always.“

“Great food, Great service“

“My husband and I were there for our 1st time Monday night for dinner and drinks and had a great experience. Our waitress was Dana and she did great job. Our food was really good and drinks were made perfectly, The atmosphere was good and overall experience was great and we will definitely be returning. Thank you Dana !!!“

“We recently visited Griffin Claw Clubhouse in Rochester Hills and had an excellent experience, thanks in large part to our server and bartender, Mae.

From the moment we sat down, Mae made us feel welcome. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and upbeat, guiding us through the menu with helpful suggestions and spot-on recommendations. Her understanding of the beer and food options stood out and really enhanced our evening.

We ordered the Pulled Pork Nachos, which were fantastic, and tried a mix of drinks including the Peach Geist, the Berserker, and the Screamin’ Pumpkin. Mae described them perfectly, and each one lived up to her recommendation.

Throughout our visit, Mae was consistently friendly, attentive, and proactive, making sure our glasses were never empty and that we had everything we needed, often before we even had to ask. She struck the perfect balance of being present without ever making us feel rushed.

What impressed us most was Mae’s positive attitude and genuine warmth. She wasn’t just doing her job; she created an experience that felt personal and memorable.

We left with a smile on our faces and will definitely be back. Mae truly elevated our night, and we’re grateful for her outstanding service.“

“WONDERFUL FOOD, WONDERFUL SERVICE AND A GREAT ATMOSPHERE! I am ALWAYS COMPLETELY SATISFIED! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Definitely one of my TOP DINING PLACES I highly recommend stopping in here. as I have to so many of my friends, family and colleagues!✍🏽💯🔥♥️👏🏽🥂🍾🎈“

“Red Knapps is a good comfort food restaurant with some surprisingly wonderful, more formal dishes to offer as well. This is our go-to place when nothing else appeals to us. The atmosphere has a genuinely tasteful feel with paneled walls, coved ceilings, and large pictures of horses here and there. The bar area is often well attended, and I believe that televised sports are on the televisions.
Wait Staff is ALWAYS very nice, pleasant, and efficient. There has never been a time that we've been disappointed or unhappy with our service nor our food.“

“Friendly atmosphere, delicious food, and servers were excellent. Their cookies are worth the wait; hot and fresh from the oven! We enjoyed it so much, we went twice while we were in town for vacation.“

“Everything about our experience was phenomenal!! We brought our 88 year old mother out for a birthday lunch and she loved the place. We were a party of 6 and the restaurant was more than accommodating. Our service was extremely exceptional...Rebecca was so great she timed out the food and course perfectly.our glasses were always full and she brought out a complementary dessert with a candle that was much appreciated..thank you Rebecca for making our time so lovely!!!“

“Love this restaurant! We travel from Windsor Ontario to eat here because of the great food and drink. However the best part of Troy Yard House is the staff. Namely Sara who works the bar. She is simply amazing. I marvel at how she commands the bar yet encages with each of her customers. We have been here several times and attend based on Sar's schedule. We truly appreciate her as well the other staff who make this a GREAT place to be!“

“Great spot to stop in for dinner and drinks before or after a show at The Roxy. We tried the smash burger, chicken parmesan, and southwest chicken egg rolls—everything was excellent and then some. The atmosphere is perfect for relaxing before or after a show, or even just unwinding after work while catching one of the many games on the large TV screens.“

“Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Such an amazing atmosphere between the friendly service and delicious food! Everything about our experience was incredible! We can’t wait to come back and will be bringing friends with us. I HIGHLY recommend!!!!!!“

“Our dinner was amazing! We got there kind of late and Marija still gave us amazing service. We appreciate it & will be back!“

“Visited X-Golf for the first time on November 20th with my husband and son. Had a great time! Jesse, the bartender/waiter/desk person, was beyond friendly and helpful!! Will definitely be returning!“

“Had the best experience here last weekend! My family had so much fun playing pool here, the drinks were good, the food was good, and best part was our service. Mona was very attentive to all of our needs and made sure we were taken care of from start to finish. She had a great attitude and made sure we had a good time. Would definitely recommend coming and if you can get Mona as your server I am sure she will make sure you enjoy it as much as we did! 10/10!“

“Great meal. Loved the Jack Frost cocktail!“

“Da Best!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nbnn!!“

“Great food great atmosphere .... perfect place for a girls night out🥰“

“First timer but won’t be the last. A very old school bar/restaurant and I love that. The new owners are so friendly and inviting and the food was great. Special shout out to the sloppy Joe which was as good as my mom’s. Delicious. Stop in you will find lots to enjoy here“

“Honestly had a great time here with friends. Great atmosphere. Good music. Definitely recommend coming here to dance and just have a good time. My only complaint is the sticky floors and the glass bottles that I eventually found broken on the dancefloor.“

“I am a Detroiter transplanted to Knoxville, TN 15+ years ago. Coming back to Detroit for a week and finding this near my hotel was a pleasant surprise. The pizza and salad are as amazing as they ever were.

My only disappointment was that no one could tell me how involved the Jacobs family or Wesley were with the business.

For me, Buddy's is a must when in town!“

“Fantastic service, great food!“
