50 Best Bar & Grill in Detroit

“Stopped here before a concert at LCA last night - obviously busy, but wait wasn’t bad at all and we were able to get a drink at the bar and wait outside. I wish I could remember our servers name, but she was absolutely stellar! She was super friendly, funny and quick despite having a large section on a busy night. Got the shrimp tacos (AMAZING and filling - has a perfect amount of “kick”) and my husband got the hot chicken sandwich (the one small bite I was allowed was phenomenal) overall 10/10 experience!“

“Best restaurant in Detroit Metro airport sit at the bar for first class service!“

“Yearly visit with my kids Birthday“

“Went there 30 minutes before closing looking for drinks and some apps and it did not disappoint! I had the winter special old fashioned and it was wonderful! The food we ordered was also excellent, however, our bartender made the experience truly great! Rob was such an engaging and entertaining bartender. We had such fun conversations with him and he kept the bar open for us after closing time! If he’s there, we’re definitely headed back.“

“Jodi gave us amazing service, wings were great! Perfect place to hang out before the Tigers game. Second time going and I will definitely be back.“

“My girlfriend and meself stopped in randomly after the Eastern Market and had one of the best meals and experience we’ve had while visiting Detroit. The Tokyo muscles were the best muscles I’ve ever had. We had a classic Bloody Mary and their hot sauce really brought some heat! We got the Carmel cookie coffee as well and that was swell as well. The environment and staff especially made the experience even better. We had Rhonda as a server and she was very pleasant and helped give us recommendations that turned out to be very tasty. Overall we were glad we chose to eat at Vivio’s and will definitely be back next time we wander to Detroit.“

“I go here every Monday for open mic night. It is one of my favorite places to perform because of the fun atmosphere, the fantastic food, and the friendly folks who frequent it.“

“Originally from Michigan but now live in Florida. Went to Detroit for the weekend to attend Red Wings games. Looked for perch dinners and found Andrew’s. Absolutely awesome perch with a generous portion. Loved the atmosphere of the old time era. Staff exceptionally friendly as was the owner. Would definitely recommend this place and can’t wait to return. What I liked was the minimal breading so you have the true taste of perch. This is by far the place to go if you love perch.“

“Great place! As visitors to Detroit, we were welcomed and treated as if we were regulars that came in every day. A nice, straight forward place with good prices and new friends on both sides of the bar. Be careful of the Lot Lizard shots, though. ;)“

“Great entertainment professional staff great place to take a date or go single it's the place to be ����������“

“Love it!!! The atmosphere is amazing for the mature crowds. I go weekly and highly recommend it!!“

“Nice friendly intimate neighborhood bar were everyone knows your name. The food is good especially the hot wing are the best I've had so far! The two dollar beer on tap was worth every dime and taste good too. The outside patio and rooftop bar is an amazing space, you can even watch the baseball games across the street and the city view is fun to see from there.“

“Amazing food and great waitstaff.“

“Old school pinball and video games.“

“Stopped into Cutter’s for a quick drink and found ourselves staying! Great atmosphere, stellar customer service especially Ms. Shalla! Drinks were great and food looked delicious. We will be back!“

“Love the Blue Great vibes Cozy food delicious and drinks not watered down strong everything so reasonable and everyone from the owner Bartenders Staff chef all welcoming and friendly make you feel at home..“

“Every time I'm at the mixbricktown I have a wonderful time. I don't care if it's for a birthday party or I'm hanging out or events held by my fraternity Phi Beta Sigma Inc. The staff services never fails me . The garlic Parmesan wings and fries are the best in the city. They're bourbon sidecar gives you a wide variety of bourbon. #mixbricktown @mixbricktown #buzzybooth“

“Cocktails 🍹 and music 🎼 and the food 🤗🤩“

“Just got a nice craft beer before the start of a tiger game. Friendly bar tender and fast service. Nice sized craft and standard beer menu. Low top, booth and bar seating. I liked the environment that made it feel like you were at a pub and not inside a baseball park. Pricey but I would return.“

“Grown men/women club. Especially if you like the the hood bars“

“Over 25 crowd (most patrons were 40s +). There is a $15 minimum to use a card so if you're just having 1 drink, bring cash. No cover. Pool tables and bar. I was told they no longer sell food at this Bar & Grill but I didn't confirm if the kitchen closes very early, is temporarily closed or closed indefinitely. There is outdoor space and also a food truck up the alley behind the businesses on Grand River. The staff was friendly and there was plenty of seating. It's not huge but there was a perfect number of people to enjoy yourself and not be crowded with people breathing COVID unknowingly. Old school music with some hustle tracks thrown in. I would go back.“

“Having a Ball 😁 My type of Vibe!!“

“Love ❤️ this place, great place to give party“

“This place is a must-go when visiting the Eastside of Detroit, or even if you’re a current resident of the city’s Eastside ! The owner Ed is very personable, the food is fantastic, and the venue just has a very laid-back, yet still professional vibe..“

“Karaoke, The food by Chief Dee“

“Long overdue. Finally a place in the Eastside where everybody is somebody and all people are welcomed and accepted. Be clear, this is Detroit's version of 'Cheers.'

Texas Bar and grill is one of the rare places in Southeastern Michigan where people of differing backgrounds can drink, socialize, watch a game and have a great time. This is a very cool, and large sports bar with welcoming staff, decent prices and a wide variety of music.“

“listen the first time I came here I didn’t even get nothing I was just with my cousin doing a doordash order with her , was just picking up somebody order but something told me that I need to come back and eat from here. So yesterday and today I finally order some food from here and man when I tell you it is so good! I’ve never tasted Mac n cheese that actually tasted good from a restaurant , no matter where I went Mac n cheese would only always taste better at home. But this place? Oh yeah they got it down PACK the best Mac n cheese I done had from a restaurant and them lamb chops is so so good.“

“Great food and drinks‼️‼️🥃🍸🌮🧀🍔“

“The food is no ordinary bar food. The staff is respectful and professional. The owner is very polite. It’s black owned and the outside is lite up. So I felt safe getting out my car. The music is nice. I will be definitely having my bday party there.“

“It's an excellent atmosphere and the drinks and music are the best, as well as the staff..“

“Amazing vegan options!!! If you don’t see it… ask!“

“Tori was an amazing host at HopCat. From the moment i walked in, she was welcoming, friendly, and on top of everything. Even though it was busy, she kept things moving smoothly and made sure we were taken care of quickly. Her attitude really set the tone for a great experience. You can tell she genuinely cares about the guests. Definitely one of the reasons I’d come back.“

“I went there on a random week day a couple of weeks ago to watch my uncle shoot pool & actually enjoyed. The food was good & fresh. My drinks were good as well! Just no crowd probably because it was a week day. I haven't been there in years. Older crowd which I like. Bathroom needs updating & parking lot. Will go back!“

“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.“

“Food was soooo good! Our server Kate was great and the cook Nate made all of our food delicious! If you’re staying at the Doubletree by Hilton, PLEASE stop by here.“

“I would like to thank Tony and his staff for always taking care of WSUPD. After a memory event for our fallen officer, Tony sent several trays of food to our table, sat down and talked to us, and hugged us as we left. Tony is very generous of his time and talent. The food is great and the atmosphere fantastic, come check them out.“

“It's a very friendly atmosphere and the food is good“

“it was laid back and very good vibes“

“Visited my favorite Starter's in MIDTOWN for dinner with my friends on Sunday afternoon August 11, 2024. Food was DELICIOUS as usual. Waitress was very polite, etc. Great service - but come on with scanning to get alcoholic beverages, lol and a $1.00 for some more bread. The four of us ate the "three" pieces we were given. I still love you all, but this is a criticism from a very loyal customer who has been visiting your Restuarant for YEARS! I did my undergraduate and graduate studies at Wayne State University right down the street. Starter's has been my spot. Peace.“

“Happy to be from the D. Amazing Corned Beef sandwich and good seasoned fries, shrimp pasta is the best in the city I've had. Kool-aid is that deal... never had a bad meal here...“

“Nice music nice food, gorgeous women“
