50 Best Sports Bars near Birmingham

“Great place to chill and enjoy a good time with friends.“

“Food was good and service was acceptable (nothing special) but you had a group of 5 guys leave your restaurant last night somewhat bewildered after your waitress Katarina made it quite clear she was not happy with the 20% tip we gave her. Apparently, our stay of about 3 hours eating and drinking was excessive. We may not be back.“

“Great atmosphere and helpful staff! Anysha was amazing took good care of us and made sure everything was done perfectly ! I Recommend to anyone who likes good food and good entertainment!“

“Super fun bar, great service and food!“

“Maria is hands-down one of the best bartenders at Hub Stadium. She’s always on top of her game, remembers orders without missing a beat, and keeps the bar moving even on the busiest nights. She personally changes the kegs and still keeps everything running smoothly—no downtime, no complaints.

You can tell she works incredibly hard and probably goes through three kegs a night without breaking a sweat. Great attitude, great service, and she makes the whole experience better every time we’re there. If Maria’s behind the bar, you’re in good hands.“

“So enjoyed this experience! Great time had by all. Will do this again.“

“The old locker room is where I met my husband of 35 years now, but the new locker has a great vibe as well. Food is Awesome, staff are friendly and helpful and the music brings a vibe that makes you happy and want to party. Let’s just say I love the Locker room. Ask for Lacey she’s the best waitress.“

“Service was great. Nice little restaurant. It was a bit too hot out to enjoy the patio. But would Definitely be worth a trip during the summer.

Ordered the bake cheese dip to start. Really enjoyed it. Goes really good with the toasted baguettes.

Full menu of options for drinks. No frozen drinks tho. They do not have a blender. They carry Faygo pop and that was a real treat.

Ordered the chicken Caesar salad. If I had known that, the salad came premixed I would’ve asked for the salad dressing on the side. It turned the Romain lettuce, soggy quickly. Couldn't take the left overs. Dressing was on the bitter side.

Also, tried the fire bird sandwich. Bun gave it good texture. Not a fan of the topping choices. Didn’t go well with the cheese and sauce.

I was excepting a little more from the menu. Smaller menu. Will be back.“

“My friends and I love coming here! We’ve made it the spot we visit regularly! Great food, fantastic staff and a welcoming atmosphere all around!“

“I only had a sandwich and some mozzarella sticks but those were good and other people seemed happy with their meals - but mostly here to say the atmosphere / service at this place is unmatched. Amy & Heather who I got the opportunity to have as bartenders and servers both times I came (and they’re sisters! How fun) both went beyond the call of normal service. This place was the closest nearby spot to an emergency vet I took my dog to after an attack. I was obviously a bit solemn when I came in the first time for lunch and immediately they asked me if I was okay and both came around the bar to hug me when tears started welling and listened to my story and showed so much care and compassion for my poor doggy. When I came back a week later they recognized me IMMEDIATELY and asked how my boy was doing and were overjoyed when I said he’s healing well and getting stitched up today. I also wanted to come back to get their names just so I could be sure to mention them by name in a review because they certainly deserve it. Outside of that, clearly they (and the rest of the staff here) have compassion and familiarity with mostly everyone who walked in the door. They impressively remembered names, usual orders, and asked specific questions about peoples’ lives (and I was sitting at the bar for a long time while I waited for my dog both times and got to witness LOTS of interactions) - all were overwhelmingly positive. I love love LOVE this place. I live in Detroit and rarely come to the suburbs unless I need to - but I might have to start making Mr. Joe’s a regular stop ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Hidden Gem. Literally. The sign out front on what looks like an undeveloped lot. Easy to not notice. Turn at the sign and drive back a bit. Great for sports, large beer selection, patio, pool table. Service at the bar was great. Repeat business from me for sure. ,“

“Excellent place to catch a big game. Went there for World Series game 7 and I was concerned they weren't going to have sound for the game. They did! Food is always good here and they pours are satisfactory. Servers and bartenders are mostly nice and attentive. Solid place that we frequent on a regular basis. Well run establishment.“

“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!“

“The Hideout shocked me, i drove by for many years and figured it was a hole/little bar. When I walked in the interior was very nice. So the business end of the review, i had a cheeseburger with grilled onions and it was so darn good I was shocked. I came back the following night it was so good hoping they could replicate it, im not here for the drinks but the cheeseburger! Once again the chef comes through with a home run. Ill be back tomorrow or the next day, its that good and its of tremendous value, im not sure how they do it. The place is a gem!“

“Fantastic burger and friendly bartender“

“The catfish is seasoned to perfection! Fried hard as requested and definitely did not disappoint“

“Food is great and so are the drinks“

“Last night my family and myself went to Grand Tavern for supper after a long day. Our waiter Xhorxh was absolutely amazing! Personally, I have dietary restrictions and explained to him that I am unable to have gluten, dairy, or egg. I had already pre-creeped the menu before arriving so I could find a meal that would be easy to hopefully adapt to my dietary restrictions. After explaining my restrictions Xhorxh was ON IT! He immediately spoke to the chef and the chef adapted my meal to my restrictions. Xhorxh did tell me that there could be a possible cross contamination with gluten on one of my sides and explained that they couldn’t guarantee that that one thing would be gluten free. Listen, not very often in the service industry do you come across a wait staff member or chef that made sure to cross all of the boxes. I ordered brussel sprouts as the appetizer without the cheese (I could have had three plates of that it was so good) and the cedar plank salmon and ordered two veggies as my side. IT was DELISH!!!!! Xhorxh also made sure that our drinks were constantly filled and took amazing care of our family. My MIL even made a comment after we received our meals how she really liked him as a waiter. I wished we had a Grand Tavern where we lived but unfortunately we are 8 hours away but we will absolutely be back when visiting family! ❤️“

“The all around vibe is inviting. bar tenders know how to make drinks!!!!! service and food is phenomenal. I highly recommend ya'll trying the Philly steak pizza 🍕😋“

“What a wonderful place! The menu generally consists of Wagu burgers (flawless) stellar sandwiches, pizzas (perfect), dinner and side salads (big) soup, appetizers, and a couple of entrees. All of it is incredibly good. Be sure to try the Tempura Asparagus. It’s a favorite.

Service is provided by one or two people jetting around taking care of people, and they are always cheerful, accommodating, and mindful. The atmosphere is strictly “Cheers”. Lot of folks know each other, and we often see people we e seen before. No need to dress up or dress down, either. Come as you are.

We will keep coming back!“

“Great food , large portions, been there 1/2 dozen times , top notch!!“

“Cy Mahoney’s is one of my favorite go-to bars in Rochester Hills. Great food, solid drinks, and a laid-back, friendly vibe. Felicia, the manager, is awesome, and Andy the bartender is great — they really make the place welcoming and keep you coming back.“

“Great food, great drinks and a wonderful staff starting from the manager Wes greeting us at the door! Had a fun birthday celebration and will definitely be back!“

“We hosted a holiday party at Shields of Troy yesterday and we couldn't be more pleased. The food was delicious, the service was great, and everyone had a good time. Thank you to Shields!“

“Here in town from Milwaukee! My husband had the catfish dinner, fish was great! Sides were ok, owner handled that! I appreciate great service…all about righting wrongs! My lamb chop dinner was yummy! Also, Cali is great..that’s my daughter name too! 🥰 She ran the show today! So sweet…and it’s her bday! If I ever come back, I will request you! Thanks Yall!“

“Delicious food and excellent selection of Michigan draft beers. Great atmosphere as well.“

“We had a party of 6 on Sunday everyone in their was very friendly the food and drinks were excellent the service was great the place was clean they had plenty of parking and the prices were reasonable I would recommend this place to anyone and we had a good time and I would go back again“

“CK Diggs is an absolute gem near downtown Rochester! The food was amazing — everything we ordered was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. We tried the boneless wings, nachos, quesadillas, Reuben sandwich, Southwest pasta, Cajun steak strips, pretzel bites, and Beijing beef — and every single dish was delicious.

The service was just as impressive — friendly, attentive, and fast. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great spot for a casual night out or a relaxed dinner with friends.

The Cookie Monster and carrot was was beyond delicious.

If you’re looking for great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere close to downtown, CK Diggs is definitely worth checking out!“

“We love O’Grizzly’s. When Hoops closed, we needed to find a new favorite spot. We found it! Cold drinks, great service and delicious food. It’s our go to spot.“

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

“Great food! Great atmosphere! Nena is always the best server! Always fun playing board games on Tuesday.“

“The most classic sports bar a sports bar can get. Some of the best pizza in town, some of the best wings in town, in the atmosphere is a classic sports bar. They even got the Jumbotron as a queer guy who likes sports And good food, This place is awesome.“

“Purr 🐱 THERE IS STILL NO PAPER TOWEL IN THE BATHROOM“

“Over 5 stars recommend!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The atmosphere, staff, and food was all phenomenal at Whiskey Rae's! The smell, taste and love in the food. It's gourmet homemade food with a twist 🤌 Much respect and appreciation for the Chef Drew. Excellent hospitality and service from our down to earth server Isla!“

“Fun place to meet friends“

“Dined in with my coworker after a long shift and experienced such great service. Cre was our server and she had no problem taking care of us as indecisive as we were. Food was made fresh. The busser, David was exceptional as well. Accommodating anything we needed. We will definitely be back.“

“Such a blast to play here!“

“Best burgers!!! You will not be disappointed“

“Stopped here on a little suburban bar crawl, it hit the spot for a cute lil dive. Definitely a regulars place but we were welcomed with a smile. Lisa is a real gem! Seems like they have bar snacks you can order. Great conversation and drinks. :) We will definitely be back!“

“We enjoy to go out. Last night we visited this fine restaurant which friends told us about. We had a lovely experience there with superb cooking and an experienced stuff and a talented chef. We added this restaurant in our list and we will certainly return very soon. We highly recommend.“

“Me my daughter dine at 2111 eight mile road today it was about noon the food was delicious my daughter got the chicken sandwich I got the double crunch shrimp dinner, the waitress was really nice it was clean inside we will be back again.“

“Awesome place! Atmosphere is fantastic, the wait staff is great, and really happy to have found this place.“

“Just had the best bar burger I’ve had in age’s….. seriously perfect medium burger, full of flavor, not greasy. Will definitely be our choice for a burger in the future ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Every time I've been in the Metro, I've gotten great service and the food was outstanding!! Even in carryout form, the food is excellent!! The next time I put together a big party, I'm thinking I'll be taking it to the Metro!! I only wish that they would make their cream of asparagus soup more often. I can make a meal of just that soup!! It is excellent!! They just don't offer it enough!!“

“staff is wonderful, food is great! Love the atmosphere.“

“Good place for a quick bite & drinks prior to heading to the comedy club. The food & drinks were good- the service was good for the most part. We paid full price for 7 drinks but when we realized there was a happy hour menu & wanted to try a drink off of it- our waitress mentioned it was 6:00 & too late. We said it’s 5:55. She replied we go by bar time. What? She ended up putting it in but we found it odd after spending $150 in food & drinks up to that point she’d give us grief about getting $4 off a happy hour drink we wanted to try. We’d go back but for sure ask about specials prior to ordering as they weren’t mentioned.“

“Was there with about 10 of my family members for a Buffalo Bills game ..... yes I know a Bills game in Detroit... We ordered darn near all of the appetizers and a chicken pizza during the game and they were great. Drinks were great. David ... who handles it all was awesome. I hope the changes they have made make this places succeed.“

“I was visiting the Detroit area from Texas. I went to this place to watch the Lions game... so I didn't eat. It's a sports bar. Given the other places I have traveled and been to sports bars, this is a good one. Compared to sports bars in Texas, it's just OK. It's a little small. The service was decent. The staff seemed to be more interested in watching the game than making money. If you're in the area, it's fine, but I wouldn't drive across town for this place.“
