50 Best Bars near Clawson

“I almost don’t wanna tell the world about another Clawson MI gem, but this place is 🔥🔥. The ambiance, the flavors, the music, the service—all amazing. But don’t tell anyone 🤫🤐😎“

“The staff is awesome! loved the beer and the Tuesday special pork tacos!“

“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!“

“Terells the man at dispo Hazel Park! Hooked me up with the discounts and products !! much appreciated ! love to the dispo!“

“Big thanks to Adam, Brenda Jean, Ely and Molly for making my 55th birthday celebration so fun. Everyone had a great time.“

“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.“

“Kelly's Bar has done it, reached the top tier, Smashing records with burgers that bring cheer. Double patties nestled in sesame embrace, Cheese, lettuce, onions, and sauce, a taste chase. Rex Packing's meat, a blend that's divine, Crafted with care, a true foodie's sign. Susan's verdict? The burger's a hit, But wait, there's more, a wings summit! Moist, crispy wings, a flavor affair, Cajun rub and Buffalo, a spicy pair. Lemon pepper adds its zesty grace, A feast for taste buds in every case. Broccoli cheddar bites, a friend's delight, Adding depth to this culinary flight. Corned beef egg rolls, a twist so fine, Crunchy, dainty shells, a unique design. Kelly's Bar, a haven of taste and glee, Where flavors dance and spirits roam free. A culinary journey, an epicurean play, Where every dish shines in its own way.“

“Bar of Legend;
those hallowed floors moaning secrets
Holding spirits within its wooden embrace.
Awesome Service, the platinum status of any DiveBar I've ever walked into.. from the OG rotary-phonebooth to even having a pool table.. NOT for the pinkie-in-the-air or wine drinker type of establishment.. absolute must!! 💯 visit for the authentic dive and historic bar connoisseur. Need to come back n hang with the cool bartender n maybe a ghost or 2 🍻👻 🍺“

“My go to venue for local shows!“

“Staff is excellent! Awesome live venue.“

“The place was awesome great burgers and extremely great prices. The wait staff was great me and my wife popped in for a beer and some food. We were greeted instantly when we walked in And we had drinks in front of us in about 2 minutes The food was awesome The burgers range from about 8 bucks to 12 bucks depending on what you order. The fries were like five bucks for a whole basket. They also have outdoor seating with a nice patio in downtown Utica which is great. Right down the street from Jimmy John's field. You could definitely sit out on the patio and watch the fireworks when the field is doing them. Could definitely bring children here. Not so much wheelchair friendly as there are a couple steps inside. Although I'm sure you can manage somehow. There are plenty of places to park around the back there's a big lot that you can park in down the road or you can get lucky and get a spot in downtown Utica. The service was fantastic The burgers were cooked to perfection and drinks were ice cold what more could you ask for. I'm definitely recommending this place and we will definitely be back You can't beat it.

Parking: Big lot to park in down the road or you can get lucky find a spot behind shamrocks or park right on downtown Utica Street

Kid-friendliness: Could definitely bring your children here they got burgers awesome fries

Wheelchair accessibility: A little difficult to navigate with a wheelchair but I'm sure you can manage.“

“played there on the 30th and had a great time. Staff was so friendly and helpful. All our friends had high praise. Can't wait til next show.“

“Fantastic burger and friendly bartender“

“Where do I even start! This is hands down, the premier cigar bar! I’ve gone to a few others and they don’t compare to DCs. Chris and Donny (owner) has done an incredible job. First off, the ventilation. On a packed night, the place isn’t even overly cloudy or smokey, great ventilation. Their humidor also offers a great selection of cigars at affordable prices. Next the food. Everything in the menu is top notch and other very affordable. The steak bites, deviled eggs, burgers, fries, everything, 5 out of 5. Now, the atmosphere, unlike any other cigar bar. It’s classy, looks good, clean, and always has a great mix in music and tv selection. They also have a hell of a drink selection, very impressive. Lastly, the staff. I’ve become a regular over the last six months and have had the pleasure to work with some of the best in the business. Sarah and Rheanna are amazing, they don’t get any better than these two! They’re friendly, treat you like they’ve known you for years, professional and know their business. Most would say they do this for the tips, they don’t. They do it because that’s just who they are, just friendly and sweet. Joe is also one hell of a guy! Everybody on the staff makes time for you. The moment you walk in, they greet you by name. They have an incredible staff, that’s what keeps you coming back. Thank you all for making this place a great spot to sit down and enjoy a night out, whether a date night, a guys night out or even just a solo night to grab a drink and a cigar! Rheanna, Sarah and Joe will keep you coming back. I would rate DCs staff a 6 out of 5. Thank you for making this a comfortable and fun escape from everyday life!“

“Phenomenal bourbon selection“

“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.“

“Very popular restaurant and bar. We came on the weekend this time for brunch. Large menu with omelets, benedicts, french toasts. Regular menu has wings,sandwiches and ? .We got the wings and they(3)were large full and sticky. Our omelettes were good with plenty inside. The French toast too. My friend thought their benedict not their best and probably wouldn't get it again. Ask about gluten free or vegan. Betty get GF bread or bun please.

It was busy and the crowd was watching the game so it was fun. Tony U was our server and was on it. ?
Cocktails were pricey to me considering the size

Parking: Free on Sunday and need ferndale parking app otherwise“

“Popped in last Sunday since my partner and I were craving Mexican-style. Had lower expectations being more of what I thought was a 'bar' or sort of hipster hangout, and... it IS both of those things, but WOW! The food blew me away. The nachos were a large portion and loaded with high quality toppings - the cheese sauce might've been my favorite, but the cotija cheese, fresh jalapeno rings, black beans and pickled onion weren't far behind. And DON'T MISS the chipotle salsa... quite honestly probably the BEST SALSA I've ever had. Not TOO hot but smoky, sweet, robust. Just perfection.
My partner's barbacoa taco and chicken tostada were equally delicious. I had one bite of each and was fully impressed and almost ordered my own but had all those nachos to get through. Aside from the great food, the margaritas were delicious and perfectly strong... and the service was attentive and friendly. If I had to choose anything to nitpick I might request added smaller tables instead of long picnic style ones or that the booths be available for 2 tops (they save them for 4 or more) but I understand that this place is generally for 4-or-more and gets very busy on weekend nights. That said we were plenty comfortable at the side rail or could've sat at the bar if we wanted, so there's ample seating.
All in all, we CAN'T WAIT to go back & I think I'll be ordering some of that amazing salsa to go next time... and maybe 1 more of everything on the menu. 10/10 Fantastic!“

“top notch entertainment and world class drinks“

“Hands down, my absolute FAVORITE BAR in the Detroit Metro area. August the bartender is one of the coolest people you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting and knows how to pour a damn good drink. Be sure to ask August for a shot of Fernet and he'll tell you "It's like 1000 fairies dancing on your tongue!".“

“I have been enjoying B. Nektar for many years. I have both attended and volunteered events. Carrie is awesome and a great tour guide. Joe, Bobbi, Chase and really everyone that works here is great. Friendly and laid back atmosphere. Excellent mead! Highly recommend!“

“A fukkin fantastic bar with a great staff. I LOVE the classic movies playing constantly and only wish you had more t-shirts available. Anytime I'm in Detroit I find a reason to stop by.“

“When you’re there, you’re home. Fun, warm local bar.“

“My Sister & Brother-In-Law hosted my Godson's Baptismal Luncheon at The Polka Dot. IT WAS PERFECT! The food was AMAZING. The kids loved the Original Nintendo System. The adults loved gathering around the bar. This venue will definitely be considered for all future family events.“

“Best jam space, great staff, dope spot“

“Great place to hangout with friends or just grab a beer by yourself. Beers are well priced and their food is top notch.“

“Although I am not a member of the LGBTQ+ community , I visited here last weekend after frequenting five 15 ! I cannot express enough how refreshing it is was to be at a place where everyone was accepted , validated and safe! This country is a messed up place , but having a place that is welcoming and not to mention FUN will make a difference in someone’s life !“

“Friendly staff!! Quick service.“

“We live nearby but had never visited MacKenzie Tavern until recently. Glad we did! The food is quite good, especially when Yamin is in the kitchen. Pasta dishes are always on point. Good gyro, too. Domestic beer prices are among the best I can find. I've seen some reviews that describe the place as "a bit of a dive." And your point is? It's nothing fancy but neither am I. Try it. You'll like it.“

“I love this place. Their tacos are absolutely delicious. Queso and chips and their wings were really good as well. this is my go to place when I need tacos though.“

“The food was ???…Kudos to the COOK! SHE knows what she’s doing and We thoroughly enjoyed everything from the queso to the double decker tacos! Atmosphere?? Vibes! Also we had the greatest server! Dylan! Funny, attentive, and handsome! We will definitely be back!“

“The perfect, laid back place to enjoy amazing food and delicious cocktails! I am obsessed with the pineapple mule, the make their own infused pineapple vodka. The live jazz on Thursdays is the perfect reason to make this a weekly visit!“

“first time participating in drag queen bingo- Soo much fun! A room full of love, joy, laughter, and happiness! thank you queens for being a ray of sunshine in this world“

“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!“

“Great Burger and great Bloody Mary“

“Have not paid out MULTIPLE bands after preforming. Refuses to get back to anyone's text, calls, or emails. Theres better venues in the area who will actually pay you for the tickets you sold 🫡“

“This place is amazing! We were waiting for a comedy show to start, we weren't sure about it at first, but felt right at home when we walked in! Sarah was our waitress, who is also a 15 year experienced bartender on the side, was AMAZING to say the least! She was so friendly, helped make us crazy custom shots and was happy to do it!!

Umm they had FUNNEL CAKE FRIES! yeah, like French fries coated in FUNNEL cake batter!!

I've added this place to my absolute favorites for when I'm in town, make sure to ask for Sarah and TIP her MORE than 20% because she's more than worth it!!!“
