18 Best Beer Bars in Detroit

“Best BBQ chicken ever! I would literally go here just for that. They also have great tacos! I highly recommend the pastor, carnitas and barbacoa tacos. It’s super small inside and not many seats so there can be a wait time. But it’s well worth it! This place is a little gem in Detroit. Oh and like others have said- the green sauce is delicious!“

“Highly recommend!! Visited one of the food trucks the other night here in Canton. Nick was super nice and provided great customer service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Awesome. 10/10. Will come again. So should you.“

“Great beer selection, a relaxed vibe, and plenty of board games to enjoy. I also appreciated that they had the football games on, adding to the cozy atmosphere. If you like a sweeter beer, I’d definitely recommend the Flannel Weather (not the one pictured). Perfect spot for a laid-back evening.“

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

“We came to Detriot to see the NCAA D1 National wrestling tournament. We stopped in and had a great time. The beer, food, and environment were wonderful and we give them 5 stars. Look forward to coming back. Mechanicsburg PA folks“

“Tim and his staff are top class. Huge variety of beers and snacks and the service is always 10/10. We even had our pre-wedding party here and it couldn’t have been a better event thanks to the Plato team. Affordable, classy, and genuine - come here, you won’t be sorry!“

“This is the best taco truck! They were able to cater an event last minute when a restaurant reservation fell through. It was 9:30 at night and they were able to feed 85 people at 1:00. The portions were excellent, the food was wonderful and there was so much of it. I cannot express my gratitude for your professionalism and yummy food!“

“My buddy had his diaper party at Lenny’s today and we had a blast! Got good use of the pool table, had good drinks with even better friends. Bartender and owner were more than accommodating and so very friendly. We will be back!“

“I have not consumed food at this location, however I visit frequently for the frozen drinks. The venue is located in the "the alley" downtown Detroit and the atmosphere and people are always a vibe to sit back and watch. The wait staff at the bar is there to do their jobs, no pleasant interaction or anything extra. The frozen drinks are really good and consistent.“

“The best burger I have ever had!! Loved the poutine too! I can't wait to go back!!“

“I didn’t get my tenders name but he was amazing my first drink was the French 75 and my partner had the champ ( pic not posted) he enjoyed his drink as well.
Being as my 1st drink was gin I asked for my second drink to be gin based with mint and whatever he decided it to be.

The craft that he showed I was mesmerized by it watching him place certain ingredients asking me is this okay and what I don’t like I told him im open to trying new things. Definitely recommend everyone to come here!!

To the tender I’m sorry I didn’t get your name but I never forget a face I will be back!!“

“I celebrated my birthday today with my three children and my adopted daughter. It was absolutely wonderful. The food was spot on. The service was great couldn’t have asked for a better meal.“

“Really cool concept and a great location with an awesome atmosphere. The Detroit-Style pizza is fantastic (especially since they tend to have new flavors out on a regular basis) and the self-service taps are extremely fun and very convenient.

Really a great spot for an enjoyable night out!“

“The next stop in the ever-expanding and soon to be inaccurately named "Metro Detroit Brewery Discovery Tour". #39 in SE MI, #48 in the state.
Flights are usually a good place to sample beers at a new place, and I normally recommend them. Here they're a bit pricey, $12 for four 5oz samples. The full pours are $4 - $7 for a pint. That math says "just try one" to me.
Since they serve food, and they open at noon, it seemed a great idea to combine that midday meal with a fermented beverage or two and chill for a few hours.
Ordered my first brew and a Fish Sammy for my repast.
Indoors is very industrial, no surprise given the area and its previous uses. Tons of room around the center bar. A huge skylight brightens the place up well. Outside seating is very relaxing. Lots of picnic tables, several umbrellas for the sun-averse.
The waffle fries are terrific! Great outer crunch while tender inside. Sandwich was very good, too. At $12 it was the least expensive, not why I chose it, just adding info.
The music, kind of alt-punk, is louder than I'd prefer. I'll take my second brew outside.“

“The Food was really good.“

“Firstly, the food was amazing. The fries were so flavorful but not too salty or overpowering. The burger I got was large, tasty, and cooked perfectly. The place was clean and the servers were friendly. The food took a bit to arrive after we ordered, but the servers made sure our drinks were tended to. But I would definitely wait longer again because of how good the food was.“

“Service was great! Pizza was super good and was a great place to land after a busy time at the NFL draft.“
