50 Best Bars in Detroit

“Pretty good food and I enjoyed the atmosphere. Our server was a spectacular. Unfortunately the bar service was slow so our server had to apologize 2 or 3 times for not delivering our cocktails earlier. They took quite a while. My margarita was too tart for my liking but my hubby enjoyed his (some spin on an old fashioned)

It seems the menu selections are not really for your average Mexican cuisine diner. A bit pricey for no reason at all. I probably wouldn't come here again by choice but if someone else invited me, I'd return.

My husband got the half chicken and I got the steak, both were pretty good and came with veggies and house made corn tortillas which were great for making little tacos. Use the accompanying salsas on the menu, they boost the flavor of the entrees. Parking around this place is not the easiest.“

“the bartender was excellent as was the atmosphere!“

“My experience at Kampers Rooftop is always top-tier! I’ve always been treated with top-notch customer service from everyone there! A special shout out to Dominique, the bartender. He was exceptional. From the good conversation to the fantastic drink recommendations, this is definitely the place you want To bring friends and family.“

“Great food, fun atmosphere, and everyone who works there is very polite!“

“One of the best steaks I've ever had!! Was cooked perfect. The view was the best part of this restaurant though by far!! Have to get a window seat or it defeats the purpose of going! Did not release the amount of spiders so high up on the outside of the glass😳“

“Wonderful place to go for a special occasion. The entertainment is always top notch. The food was absolutely delicious and the entire staff at the top of their game!“

“My cousin wed their beautiful bride last night and their original post wedding brunch location fell through at the last minute. Groups of us came through right as Supergeil opened. Now let me tell you, they moved mountains to host our celebration. The food was incredible and the warm hummus was some of the best I’ve ever had. Thank you thank you thank you for today! Cheers 🍸 10/10 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The fooood is very yummy! And the staff is nice and efficient. Went there over the weekend and it was so busy there, there was over an hour wait to pick up our online order . However, it was a big game night for multiple Detroit Teams. You could tell the kitchen was backed up on orders, but the front of the house was holding it down and keeping the orders moving as fast as they could.

My wings were delicious. I would definitely recommend you visit, but maybe not late on a weekend night unless you are in no rush.“

“Great bar and very friendly people here. The neighborhood is such a great place!“

“perfect place for an adventure, Sunday Funday!“

“Stopped here as part of the Detroit Bus Tour and had a great time at this bar. Very old school which is perfect if you just want to grab a beer with some friends and hang out. Would come back and try parking here for a game next time and ubering.“

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

“Excellent service, delicious food and it all happened under the red lighting. Be prepared to park on the street as the parking lot only has 6 or 7 parking spot.“

“Orange Peel Theory is hands-down one of the best summer drinks I’ve ever had. The blend of Holiday Spirit Epsilon Tequila with coconut, orange, and citrus is insanely smooth, refreshing, and just the right balance of tropical and tangy. It’s like a beach vacation in a glass. I’d serve this at every campsite, tailgate, and backyard hang if I could—absolute 10/10!“

“Absolutely 100% recommend Nemo’s! We’re here for tigers opening day and I am breastpumping. I asked if they had a room I could pump, although they didn’t have a secluded area for me, they let me pump in this back area. Thankfully I had a wearable pump so you can’t see anything but one of the bartenders brought me a water & a hotdog and was just the sweetest man. Truly thankful for their hospitality! So very sweet! Above and beyond!“

“We had such a great time here! The Bartender, Bao, was very friendly and personable! We enjoyed his company and his recommendations! My girlfriend and I split the short rib grilled cheese with au jus, and it was so damn good! Thanks for being great!“

“Paramita Sound in Detroit is a vibe. The DJ was spinning smooth jams all night, creating the perfect laid-back atmosphere. Picked up 5 killer records while I was there—great selection and even better energy. A must-visit for music lovers!“

“Great fun! Karaoke night was best. Drinks are the best. I had limited myself to 2 drinks but they were so good I needed one more“

“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 🍻👻 🍺“

“Meantime offers a bespoken experience for the serious beer aficionado & creative cocktails while still having a cheap coors on deck for the casual. A Sleek n Simple design on historic bones with everything from barstools to my favorite seat- the plush couch in the living room area beside the huge glass panels that open up allowing in city energy & air. A stone's throw from LCA for a drink b4 the puck drops or music events. Parking can be daunting during special events but there's decent access to metered street parking(get the app) n parking lots around. Lots of regulars stop in & also great for couples & 1st dates. Best for last!! Meantime had a big beer mug to fill in replacing the former 8° plato beerstore; Meantime delivered chill and elevated. A kicka$$ crew, offers 2 Rotating hand pulled beers(MUST TRY) big ABV stouts(my 🍺🖤) amongst the best from MI to Germany, food pop-ups, big TV to watch games and cool merch. Flowers throughout. May Meantime go for a Longg Time ✌️“

“Best neighborhood bar in Detroit!! Started going there with Pearl & Sov when I was 13 Love that bar!!“

“Last Chance Saloon in Detroit’s Corktown neighborhood is a hidden gem with serious vintage charm. Step inside and you’re transported to a laid-back, 1970s-style hangout, complete with dim lighting, retro décor, and a playlist that sets the mood just right. The bar serves up nostalgic cocktails like the Wisconsin Old Fashioned and the Blue Hawaiian, alongside a solid selection of affordable beers and whiskeys. With friendly bartenders, a cozy atmosphere, and a welcoming crowd of locals and newcomers alike, it’s the kind of place that makes you want to stay for one more round.“

“Pretty, pretty, pretty…pretty good. 🫶🏼“

“Great 'dive' bar with real good food and an exceptional jukebox.“

“Great service ………………..“

“Went to Sloppy Chops with a group of friends had the Turkey wings and Mac n Cheese, delicious and the staff was friendly and attentive!“

“Been there two times now. Perfect neighborhood bar for folks in Brush Park. Food was very good and service was excellent. My wife and I are “Summer birds” . We reside in Arizona and reside in Brush Park when weather is good so it’s a perfect neighborhood place for a nightcap.“

“Awesome place. Full of fun for everyone. We’ll be back for sure!“

“I recently visited the hand roll Japanese restaurant located in the newly renovated Book Tower in downtown Detroit.

The standout dish for me was the Sushi Dog—a fried sushi rice roll filled with crab meat. It was not only incredibly tasty but also impressively creative, offering a fun twist on traditional sushi. Another highlight was the sushi balls, which came as a set of four: salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and avocado. Each had its own unique flavor, beautifully presented and perfect for sharing.

The hand rolls were excellent—fresh, flavorful, and made right in front of us. I also enjoyed the Tamago Sando, a Japanese-style egg salad sandwich that was light yet rich in flavor, definitely a must-try.

The only disappointment food-wise was the Yaki Soba; the noodles were overcooked and lacked the depth of flavor found in the other dishes, making it my least favorite.

Unfortunately, the main issue came at the end: we were given a happy hour menu, but when the bill arrived, everything was charged at full price—double what we expected. That mix-up definitely left a sour note on an otherwise enjoyable evening.

Despite that, the quality and creativity of the food were strong enough that I’d still consider returning—just with a little more attention to the bill next time.“

“Our bartender, Nick, was fantastic. He not only makes a wonderful drink, but is informed regarding all the great spots in the city and knows how to recommend a good drink. If you go, try his Vieux Carre. If you like a good old-fashioned this is similar. Just delicious!“

“Best jam space, great staff, dope spot“

“The service was great as was the food. They are so polite. More than willing to answer questions. They greet everyone that walks in. 10/10 would definitely recommend.“

“The Temple Bar is a wonderful spot to meet locals and be low key. My husband and I prefer these kinds of places to start the afternoon off or make part of our pub crawl. This place also has a small but fun dance floor and a cool outside are and kind bartending staff to welcome you.“

“It’s open!! Very wonderful servers 🍸“

“I was in Detroit for a business trip, and looking for a place to relax en femme (my thing). Other CDs advised me to go to Adam's Apple. For a gurl, it is the best place EVER! I was there two nights, and could not believe the number of gurls there, men also (not enough or too shy to my taste, but that is another story). You go to such bars for the people, not the place, and it checked all the boxes!“

“Beautiful place for a special occasion.“

“We had drinks here today and my vodka and cranberry only cost $4.50ea (as of 09/26/23) which is the cheapest I’ve found in a while! And the bartender who is also the owners daughter is super sweet! We had a great time! This is definitely a place we’d visit again! There is no food besides some chips!“

“Went for the Yuengling party which was a great way to welcome a classic American beer to Michigan. We were very excited to see Monk's Cafe on the beer list. So many options here for everyone. The James O'Donnell Band was great too!“

“Absolutely enjoyed our time here., we were just passing by and found this place. Wish they had locations in other states or at least ship their Bourbon.
Loved their drink menu and their bottles, labels and design.

Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re near the area.“

“Grateful great atmosphere, lovely waitresses lovely staff“

“This is a fun little bar on the far southeast side of the city! It's a great place to catch some live music and pub grub! There is a stage set up for bands and a kick-ass sound system! Very cool vibes going on there!“

“great time. GREAT food & drinks“

“The Only Clubhouse That Matters!“

“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.“

“Discovered this place while going to the symphony. What a nice start of a great evening!“

“Fabulous, non pretentious atmosphere for a great beer , sandwich, and overall great vibe“

“Fantastic food. Pizza was amazing as well as the chicken Parm.“

“Great time! Be sure to say hi to Stanley!“
