50 Best Cocktail Bars near Dearborn

“Wow, did not realize the owner's attack dog is as short as him! How about that.“

“Me and my girl went to this club for the first time and we had a ball. Great environment, lgbt friendly atmosphere, drinks are very affordable and the DJ IS A WHOLE VIBE!!! THE MUSIC IS AWESOME!!! If anyone sees this post trust me you will love this club!!!“

“My friends and I hit this bar up on the biggest bar night of the year! Thanksgiving Eve! We arrived around 10:00pm (no cover) and it was already so packed. They played great music, the DJ was seriously on point. Jack and Coke was only $6.00 and the pours = very very very strong. I was impressed with the environment. The bartenders were nice, the people around me were nice, it was just a really cool vibe! The only thing I'll say is...the bathrooms! Way too small for the amount of people allowed in that bar. And they could have used a little more attention as well. Other than that....great place.“

“Moose’s Pub is a cosy, down to earth sit-down bar with its own little spin on the martini field. They have seasonal cocktails ranging from Lychee-Tinis to Berriful drinks filled to the brim. The lady that served me and my husband was nice, business focused and respectful towards us. I was there on my 21st birthday, for the obvious thing to do- drink!
We ordered; The Mrs, The Lychee-Tini, The Cooler and The Berry Martini. And the Chili Cheese Fries.

Honestly, every drink was a blast, all priced at 12 dollars, and the chili cheese fries that were priced at 8 dollars.
The martinis were spot on, delicious and had a very nice tang, especially The Lychee & Mrs. While The Cooler & Berry were more on the soft, less alcoholic tasting side.
Now- these fries, the chili cheese ones, were absolutely to die for. They’re crispy, crunchy, with a sauce made out of the perfect blend of chili and cheese giving the fries an unneeded but most certainly elevating boost. They melt in your mouth, sending a cosy and satisfying feeling that stays with you throughout your experience.

Decor was cute, cosy, the atmosphere was a comfortable buzz. Not too much, but also not too little. No rowdiness- more so a dreamy like feel where the noise is in the background and doesn’t take the attention away from your date.
I’d definitely pop on around again for another chili cheese fry and some martinis!

PS: For those aiming for a happy hour, make sure before hand that they still have the promotion. We went around 3 PM on a Sunday and there was no promotion.
Birthday Goers;
You do not get a free drink on your birthday, so keep that in mind!“

“We dined here prior to seeing a show at the Fisher. From the minute we walked in we were so Impressed. The staff at the door were super friendly and took us directly to our seats. The waitstaff was extremely attentive, and the food was amazing. We cannot wait to go back. We highly recommend!“

“Loved this place. Went once and will go again. The waitress was super sweet and awesome. She has short hair and I think it was pink? I am giving a late review. I had a BonBon and it was nice. I don’t recall if they had a large selection of food but it would be nice if they had a small selection of finger foods.“

“I just spent a week drinking through some of the best cocktail bars in Tel Aviv and was reminded how none of them come even close to the amazing cocktails that the Kevin, Kyle, and the rest of the Castalia team come up with! Each visit to Castalia, be it your first or one thousandth, is magical and wonderful!“

“We loved the Christmas theme! Can’t wait to go back! Food was amazing“

“I visited this past Valentine’s Day weekend and visited again this past Saturday night. I didn’t have a reservation but still got seated very quickly. It was a hot, muggy night and the hostess said she had a seat on the patio which I was fine with. I had a magnificent server, Florence, who was kind, thoughtful to recommend a drink to the person I was with and even when our drinks were brought out within a short time, apologized for the delay (which wasn’t necessary). I wish I could give a review on the party next to us because they were extremely rude, not only not giving consideration to others being on the patio but were also incredibly rude to Florence. One woman in particular was grandstanding in front of this group and demanded to speak to a manager. Florence and the Manager were both composed and dignified in spite of a rude patron that was looking to get her bill comped (for a party of nearly a dozen people) going so far as to threatening to have everyone at her table write a terrible review. I have worked in the service industry and so have so many people I know and love so this situation had me worked up and I felt it necessary to write a review that our experience was magnificent. Don’t be an a-hole to servers of any kind just because you’re an a-hole yourself. If you give respect, you get respect. Go to The Sugar House. Be a good customer.“

“Amazing place all around. Five stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend“

“We were here after the auto show. Brandon and Kayla were bartending and an awesome team. Great music, great drink, and Brandon was amazing at taking what you liked about a cocktail and building you something special. Would highly recommend!“

“Awesome spot! Food is great, service is superb, and cozy atmosphere (nice and tucked away). It’s a must come back kinda place TD approved! Travelin D’Vas“

“Dalal is THE BEST bartender in the metro Detroit area. Drinks? Phenomenal!Service? Can’t be beat! This is the premiere cocktail destination. Don’t forget the cigars!!! Dalal will help you make your selection if you aren’t sure. This is a MUST SEE destination. Also? Espresso martinis filled TO THE BRIM!“

“We walked in to the Buhl Bar and where greeted by George and Aish they where both so friendly and so full of information. We provided our preferences in taste and allowed George to select and make our cocktails. He nailed our tastes and delivered the best cocktails we have had. This place has such a great art deco vide the service was second to none and the drinks amazing. Thank you George and Aish it was a pleasure to have meet you both.“

“Wow. This venue had an incredible energy and vibe! Cannot wait to see what they have planned.“

“good burgers, very clean place, nice bar tender.“

“This place was amazing! The cocktails and ambiance was so cool!“

“After not being able to enter a few other locations, it was a relief that this bar is wheelchair accessible. When it got crowded it was obviously a bit harder to try and get around, but I was happy to find a table low enough for me to sit with my friends.“

“Go to spot for dinner or drinks. Salute Resto + Bar never disappoints. The food is always top notch as well as the service. A hidden gem. I recommend to all my family and friends. I recall having my friends birthday here when they first opened, and the service was excellent.“

“It was our first time in this place and Ibrahim made our experience so great!! He guided us on the menu and had amazing mixology skills. Will be coming back!“

“This Will Be My Very First Ever Coming Here On Saturday May 30th 2026 I Will Also Be Coming Here Next Month In June Before My Birthday 🎂 🥳 So imma Be a First Timer imma Be Brand New To The Place So I Hope I'll Have Fun Here i Hope I Have a Blast Here if I Do Then imma Make This Place My New Saturday Night Place To Have Fun At“

“The only reason I’m giving a good review is because the bartender. Thank you for Amanda for the great service. I’ve always loved this bar but the clientele is biggest problem. There’s a big guy in orange clothes that smells so bad you want to throw up. I’m not sure why he’s allowed in.“

“Tucked away in Detroit, Willow isn’t just a speakeasy—it’s an experience that feels worthy of the highest accolades the bar world has to offer. From the moment you step inside, the tone is set by a team that clearly understands the art of hospitality. The hostess welcomes you like you’ve been expected all night, and from there, every detail unfolds with intention.
Behind the bar, Chris delivers more than drinks—he curates moments. Each cocktail is crafted with precision, creativity, and a level of care that borders on obsessive in the best way. And under the guidance of GM Kiara, the entire operation runs seamlessly, blending warmth with elevated expertise. Together, they create an atmosphere that feels both exclusive and effortlessly inviting.
The menu itself is a standout—thoughtfully designed, bold, and memorable. Every item hits, but the matcha martini deserves its own spotlight: smooth, balanced, and unexpectedly addictive. It’s the kind of drink you think about long after the glass is empty, as well as the Goat, the Whisper Twice, The Willow Old Fashioned and Kiara's version (my favorite).
What makes Willow even more special is the shared experience. Being a couple visiting from California—drawn into Detroit to see family but clearly discovering something extraordinary—only reinforced the sense that this place is a destination. Not just locally, but nationally.
Willow isn’t just raising the bar—it’s redefining it. For me, Chris and Kiara are officially my bartenders forever. Thank you both for an unforgettable night.
Until the next challenge.“

“I always love the laid back atmosphere here. Gives you feelings of nostalgia. This use to be one of Detroits jumping spots back in the day. It is still nice to visit and see the old dance floor, pool table and beautiful bar maid. People are friendly, you can go against some really good pool players, and if you like dancing come through. One minor draw back, they don't take debit or credit cards. Lol“

“Had a great dinner here! Only thing that was a bit odd was our waiter explaining the history of the restaurant with a 5 minute story. It felt like it went in forever and was just a bit uncomfortable. Other than that food was great! I recommend the tar tar!“

“Very cool bar. Staff was super friendly. I would recommend a reservation.“

“First time in Uncle Ray's excellent fish dinner, are waitress Holly best service ever! And even serve me a water glass with no lipstick on it unbelievable even the bathroom is clean !! too good to be true! If you want a good meal great service go to Uncle Ray's“

“I had SUCH an amazing time here! I met up with a stranger here for a date and Kerri didn’t even hesitate to make it comfortable even though it was the second date I brought there in a week. Definitely a girls girl. The cocktails were out of the world. You could tell she knows what’s she’s doin. Also the ambiance is unmatched. It was also an Alice In Wonderland Popup… definitely hit the nail on the head with that. Completely pleased. Def bringing my next date back. Only if Kerri is working.“

“We visited Sakseys on a Saturday evening for dinner and drinks and had a great time! Their burger is delicious might be the best in the city! They play really good 80s and older music and the vibe is very 70s. The cocktails are super tasty as well. They also have view masters with old pics from Dan Gilberts dad's bar which is what Sakseys is modeled after.“

“Great people and good fun until new management now the drinks are overpriced for the environment they have done absolutely nothing in 20 years to the establishment not even update the televisions but the price jumped two or three dollars on the drinks miss me with it I'll have to find a new watering hole“

“Such a blast to play here!“

“I stopped in today because I stumbled upon this cute little spot. I was incredibly happy in all areas. The space is so perfect, it’s not very big inside at all but it doesn’t really need to be. Most people grabbing coffee in town are in and out with things to do. The person greeted us promptly and made a perfectly warmed hot chocolate for my son which he very much enjoyed. He loved the latte art so much. My mother and I had Carmel lattes and they were the best I’ve had honestly ever. They were very good conversation while making the drinks as well. My fiancé is jealous and we will be stopping in again very soon.“

“Seeing the city from 24 stories up provided amazing views. It’s a unique experience.“

“GB’s is my #1 spot for vegan options. They also offer gluten free dough—and they’ve done a fabulous job recreating it people like me who have issues consuming gluten. The environment is laid back, easy & chill. And the view is spectacular on Michigan Ave. Grabbing a seat at the bar—no problem! You’ll be dazzled by the large selection of craft cocktails—that’s a view in it self! It tends to get crowded quick, so calling ahead or beating the crown is suggested but it’s sooo worth it. The variety of pizza options are many to choose from. And the staff are really personable & quick with service & a smile. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Was in Bajhrain and staying at Diplomat. Remembered this place from previous visit.Its close by and does what it says...Old fashioned pub with good food. Only bad thing was it had a live band the night we went. Food good and service very good.“

“everything was very good, we sat at the bar and McKenzie took really good care of us, a must try spot!“

“We always have a great experience here. The food is consistently excellent, and the atmosphere makes it an easy place to relax and enjoy a meal. Service was just as strong—our waitress was very attentive and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. It’s the kind of place where you feel well taken care of without even having to ask. Lumen really stands out as a go-to spot for both great food and reliable service.“

“The pizza was so good my boyfriend and I came here twice during our week stay in detroit. The edges are crisped to perfection! And you can tell all the ingredients used are fresh. Highly recommend the Packard pepperoni, perfect amount of spicy and sweet. The pizzas are large enough to share and you have the option to do half and half. The only con is there isn’t a ton of seating so you might end up waiting for a table but it's well worth the wait.“

“Dinner at Le Supreme in Detroit was phenomenal! Delicious food, outstanding service, and a great atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Mile was everything. He gave me the best wine. He really brings a friendly vibe to a restaurant. I mean seriously!!!!! Nicest man ever. I felt like i was talking to an old beat friend. Mike. Ill come back to youuuuuuu

Omar was slaying in the kitchen. Great man with so much comedy behind everything he does.

Best experience ive had in detroit in years“

“Great vibes, great coffee and tasty food. What a great place!!!“

“Best spot in Detroit! Love the ambiance.“

“The atmosphere is classic and elegant, with that perfect old-school Detroit charm, but what really made the night special was our server, Alan. He was outstanding—attentive without being overbearing, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely made us feel taken care of the entire evening.

Highly recommend asking for Alan if you go—he truly elevated an already amazing experience. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Last night we made a pilgrimage to Detroit for one reason only, to visit TAKOI. We had the 6 course chef’s choice menu (plus another few courses on the house). I had very high expectations, but the staff and food managed to exceed them. If anyone is ever in downtown Detroit. You MUST try Takoi!🍜🍲“

“Fast service, great space with parking right out the front door! Might be the best fries I’ve ever eaten in my life, and super tasty olive dip. My husband had the vegan buffalo chicken sandwich and raved how good it was. Will be back next time we are in town.“

“I like to thank the staff at Andiamo especially Thelma who was our server.. Also, thank you Mike for stopping by to see if everything was good. Im glad that we had chosen that location to celebrate Rosalyn birthday“

“I haven't been here yet, but form what I see it seems like it is a pretty nice lil cocktail bar.“

“We love HenriettaHaus!!! A perfect spot for a fabulous cocktail or a great beer! The pizza is always soo good and they have killer salads. On top of being a great hang for dinner they were gracious enough to donate to a fundraiser a group of mine was hosting at planet ant a few summers ago, which means they’re great generous people too!!! Cheers!!!“
