36 Best Bars near Clarkston

“Outdoor dining, fast waitress, and clean bathroom. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in my grilled cheese. Not what I expected. Bread was so HARD. Definitely not worth over $17. Mac and cheese had a really great crust and my boyfriend enjoyed his pulled pork though!“

“Buddy’s Pizza is hands down my favorite spot for Detroit-style deep dish. Locally owned and consistently delicious, I always go for The Detroiter—perfectly crispy crust, cheesy goodness, pepperoni, and that signature sauce layered on top. Their cheese bread is addictive, and the house-made vinaigrette on their fresh salad is a must-try. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout, Buddy’s delivers every time. If you love deep dish done right, you can’t go wrong here. It’s a true Michigan gem that never disappoints.“

“Hands down the BEST BBQ restaurant in Clarkston, MI. 🙌🏼 Our waiter was Chance, who gave us excellent service. Our experience && their food was SO great, we went back for dinner a second night in a row, running into and requesting Chance again because of how well his service was the first night! Thanks Union Woodshop for the great time and great food!!“

“The brisket is the best anywhere. We love the homemade potato salad. The grown up mac and cheese is delicious. The service is always perfect. We were just there and we've been going there since it opened. Olivia was an excellent server.“

“The perfect place to enjoy a drink with friends. By car or by boat! Cheers!“

“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.“

“I've lived here for 10 years now, and the Boat Bar has been a great place to feel welcome, let loose with great music and great people. also a great job too. the family here treat you like family as well. even outside the bar. Thank you to the Hagar family and most wonderful staff. my nephew thanks you as well.“

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

“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.“

“Love it here great vibe!!!!“

“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“

“Best food I've had at a restaurant in a long time 💯. They actually put love into their food and you can tell by their creations they take pride in their work!!! so worth it!!“

“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 ?“

“The place to be! It's so great coming there and feeling like family. Amazing food, awesome creative drinks and the prices are so reasonable. I can't say enough about how much I love the staff! They are all my friends from going there. Forget about Olive Garden, CLI is "when you're here you're family!"“

“This place is amazing. They have a awesome DJ and amazing bartenders. The food is amazing also. They have karaoke on friday and saturday nights with the best DJ around and they are open 7 days a week from 12 noon to 10 pm sunday through thursday and friday and saturday from 12 noon to 2am. They are open every day of the year even every holiday including Christmas. There is no drama. Your kids can go in with you and enjoy food until 9pm. You should give it a try.“

“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.“

“The Lakes catered a bridal shower for us today. The food was fantastic and everyone enjoyed it. We had the Michigan Salad, Firecracker Pasta w/Chicken and Salmon w/Citrus Cream Sauce. The entire experience was outstanding. I've dined in before with my family multiple times and the food has always been delicious. I would highly recommend The Lakes.“

“Great place I have lot birthday holiday party memories there. Great staff and great food.“

“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.“

“The bartender was great. We couldn’t understand why most tables were empty and we had a 45 minutes to 1 hour wait. The bartender told us we could sit at a table and she would serve us. We were the only table for 30 minutes inside and at least 3-4 tables were empty outside with 5 servers. I remember pre-COVID the place was always packed, inside and out. I could understand the wait then.“

“had a blast last night. the 80's band totally rocked. great staff great atmosphere LOTS OF FUN“

“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“

“First time trying them and it’s amazing! Get the burnt ends. Get the Cajun rice and jerk chicken. So amazing and flavorful. The lemon cake was the perfect touch to our meal! Great atmosphere and the guy playing guitar tonight singing was fantastic!“

“Brittany pretty cool but Sammie pretty lit. Awesome experience between the both of them 10/10 would recommend I would definitely buy another couch from this place“

“A very comfortable place with very good food and service! I love the Prime Rib on Friday and Saturday night with the Bourbon Glazed Salmon being a close second. One of the best French Onion soup bowls if you like the cheese melted over the bowl. (which I do!)“

“Fantastic service, great food!“

“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.“
