50 Best Cocktail Bars near Dearborn

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

“So my friends and I were wandering around and needed some place to go and this spot was open. It was a week night in Dearborn so I really didn't expect a lot to be open but surprisingly this was a pretty solid area and a solid spot to walk around and bar hop .

There's free parking if the back lot is open so you don't have to worry about paying for parking. That's a good sign. We walked around and it's very walkable here so you don't have to stay at one spot once you park .

We came in for drinks and had a good time. They have a pool table there so we got some pool lamps. That was pretty cool as well. They have an indoor, obviously , in an outdoor seating area there were people who are sitting outside, having a good time, enjoying the night time, while we were inside at the bar. There's plenty of space there so you don't have to worry about necessarily bumping into people and that was actually pretty cool too.

Depending on when you go, you may come across a crowd because when we got there there was almost nobody there by the time we were leaving. It was about to get a little bit hectic. Not a whole lot but a little bit. That's perfectly okay because everybody's trying to find a place to go at midnight just like we were .

I would definitely stop in here just to get a couple of drinks and be able to walk around. I had a good time there. No problem and no issues .“

“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.“

“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!🍜🍲“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We had an excellent time at Bar Pigelle. Our waitress, Jaina, was wonderful! My partner has a sensitivity to cured meats and she made sure the prosciutto on the grilled peaches was on the side to accommodate him. The food was excellent and its arrival timed perfectly. The free parking lot across the street was also a great offering as parking nearby can get full quick. We got the grilled peaches, the smashburger, the steak frites, and chocolate mousse. I’d recommend splitting the steak frites (it’s a 14 oz!) and getting some additional small plates/appetizers to compliment/round out the meal. Their mocktails are also fantastic. We are looking forward to coming back soon!“

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

“Lumen Detroit first time here, and it was such a delightful surprise! Downtown Detroit always surprises me, and Lumen Detroit is truly amazing. The service is great, the food and the drink are top-notch, and the atmosphere is vibrant. After dinner, we headed upstairs for our last drink, and the rooftop in the heart of Detroit is absolutely amazing!“

“Belicoso is a great spot if you’re looking for a laid-back atmosphere and excellent customer service. The vibe is relaxed and chill, making it a perfect place to unwind with a good cigar. Whether you’re a seasoned smoker or a beginner, you’ll feel right at home.“

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

“Had a wonderful time out with good friends. The food and drinks were delicious. Got the Bees Sting pizza to share with my hubs and the Expresso Martini. The small pizza was perfect to share for 2 people. Gave us each 2 slices. It is thin crust FYI.“

“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“

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

“Delicious vegan Detroit style pizza! The place was small so it might be a wait. They had outdoor seating as well but it was 100 degrees so we were lucky to snag a table inside. The only soda they serve is Faygo, a local Detroit soda, which is super cool. They don’t have alcohol. Would definitely visit again! Updated from previous review on 2026-07-31“

“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“

“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.“

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

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

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

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

“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.“

“Best spot in Detroit! Love the ambiance.“

“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!“

“(July 2026). First off, a big thank you to our server Jah'Qwan. He was just fantastic and really made our anniversary dinner extremely enjoyable. This was our first time dining at the Cactus Club. The atmosphere is definitely one of the best for an intimate dining experience - quaint, quiet, and a soft piano player. Very very nice. The lighting was perfect (we sometimes have a hard time seeing the menu since we are getting older :).
My wife had a 1/2 dozen west-coast oysters for an appetizer - they were just outstanding. She ordered the Veal with Risotto (it was good but definitely a shared dish as it was a large portion).
I had the Filet Mignon - cooked and seasoned perfectly!
The star of the dinner was definitely the asparagus - I know, weird, but this asparagus was probably the best I've eaten in a very long time, hands-down.
For dessert we had the Chocolate Torte - fabulous! We compared this to the torte we had at Bobby Flays' restaurant Amalfi in Las Vegas, and it was just better.
Overall, our anniversary dinner was one of the best. Accolades to Jah'Qwan, the cooking staff, and the young lady who makes the desserts. Thank you!“

“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“

“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.“

“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 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“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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!!!“

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

“New menu was amazing. We had the potatoes, the scallops, burrata, and mushroom with shiitake dish. Burrata was hands down my favorite, thing. Perfect combination!! Highly recommend everything I got and the service was perfect, I mean like I finished my water and by the time my glass hit the table it was refilled. This was actually my second time, I’ve been before for a friends birthday and we had a different menu…..the pomegranate ribs were mouthwatering delicious. Not to mention the atmosphere inside, I personally love plants and that’s the first thing you notice when you walk in the door. Check it out for yourself, you won’t be disappointed!!“

“The service is wonderful; they will take care of you and your guest(s). It is sure to be a cozy evening of fine dining.“
