Two Birds Bar • $

“OMG Dave and Amelia are the best mixologist duo. Hubby and I came across Two Birds on google and were impressed with the reviews and photos. Our first visit was nothing short of amazing filled with luxurious and herbaceous cocktails. The atmosphere and vibes in Two Birds was very refreshing. Mature crowd, great music, tasty drinks. We will definitely be coming back as regulars to this establishment. Cheers and Happy Holidays!Tasha & Chad“

The best part for us is that it's dog friendly.They are receptive to ordering food from outside and bringing it in which I admire.And best of all, you can break up a six back if you just want a single beer! Love it, can't wait to come back“

“Love the self-pour concept, as you can try out drinks without a large glass commitment. Both the peach cider and shandy I tried were fantastic. Pizza was also really good and the menu had plenty of vegetarian and healthy options. Service was friendly. Overall, I'm just glad this is here. Boulder's Bistro & Brew is the perfect spot to unwind after a session at the climbing gym next door. The friendly staff, along with their fantastic smoothies, create a refreshing and relaxing atmosphere. It's an excellent place to refuel and recharge while enjoying the convenience of its location“

Collect Beer Bar Beer Bar • $
1454 Gratiot Ave, Detroit

“Drinking a cold beer, basking in the sun, and enjoying the breeze from the Collect rooftop on a warm day is the mental and physical state I'd like to be in at all times.This spot had been on my list for a while, and since I was on the hunt for the perfect Detroit rooftop and patio, I decided to veer off the Dequindre Cut while rollerblading for a brief bumpy sidewalk journey to Collect. Definitely worth it. The bartender was absurdly friendly, welcoming, and helpful, and my happy brain chemicals were on full blast!PRO TIP: they have a semi-sneaky backdoor as well, and if you follow their Instagram, you'll find special events like food, music, or vendor pop-ups sometimes!“

Lagerhaus No. 5 Brewery • $$
1529 Adelaide St, Detroit

“Great beer selection. I tried two of their house made beers and they were fantastic! They also have a very large refrigerator case with beers from around the world that you can drink there or take home. It's a German style beer hall seating and a couple of TVs and a bar. The staff was great. They recently brought in Deutschtoit to provide German food and it is very authentic. Definitely put this place on your list of places to try. You won't be disappointed.“

Brew Detroit Brewery • $
1401 Abbott St, Detroit

“This is an odd and difficult review. You can't leave half stars on Google, otherwise this would be 4.5. Don't want to leave 4, 5 it is.The beer, excellent. The Winter Lager is better than the Boston brand version.Camping Beer is amazing. Was so good brought 4 home.Food we had was great. Had their version of a Smash Burger. The one thing I'd like additional would be pickle slices. One thing I NEED on a burger... MUSTARD! There was none available. That made it a 3 star meal LOL. Also, you have to serve yourself. Which is fine. For the great pricing on the burger and fries, I'll carry my food. And the fries...incredible to me.Bartenders. Friendly, helpful and thoughtful. I ordered a beer that came in a can. Bartender poured it in the glass and handed me the can because there was a splash left. I have never experienced that in 35 years of going to bars.Definitely a good stop and will be back.“

Eastern Market Brewing Co Brewery • $$

“Eastern Market Brewing is a great spot to grab some Detroit themed brews in Eastern Market. There is plenty of seating available, inside and out. Little fire pits to keep you warm on a chilly day. There are to-go options if you are unable to dine in. The employees were friendly & upbeat. Give Eastern Market Brewing a try!“

“I have only eaten from the trailer, but it’s better BBQ ribs than some of the so called BBQ places. The staff is friendly always and very efficient with the buzzer for when your order is ready. The price is in line with most for the quality you receive. When I’m lazy and want it right now it’s my go to spot! They have cured my fears of non traditional indoor dining from an outdoor spot. Keep up the good job!Parking: Look for the red building and the aroma of grilled food.“

“It was an exciting time. The lions were winning. We went to Slows for dinner. They said there would be an hour and a half wait, turned out to be 2 hours. TOTALLY worth the wait! The food was INCREDIBLE. The manager comped our drinks for having to wait so long. Heck, it wasn't their fault that the place.was so busy and people were lingering. I wish Slows was closer to my house, I would eat there much more often. I give them 10 stars.“

Lenny's Bar Bar • $
15045 Mack Ave, Detroit

“Lenny's is a new bar on Mack, not far from Apt Disco. It was a bar previously so long-time residents will remember that. It's a good mix of dive, craft cocktails, and sports bar. They have TVs for the games and a pool table and darts maybe? Probably...I really like the craft cocktail menu that is mostly classics and around $8 to $10. Citadelle gin is their house gin so they are already tops in my book. I've tried the French 75, Daquari, and Airmail, all delicious. You can definitely get easy drinks like a gin and tonic or rum and coke too. Their house rum is Plantation, another good sign. They do have hard seltzers there but I think it's White Claw and not Topo Chico which seems to be the preferred brand in my demographic. And naturally, a variety of local and mainstream beers across all price points.Check their social media to see what games are playing and who is working the bar and if there are any specials running. They've only been open a couple weeks and it's fast becoming my before and after spot. Cheers!“

The Nduja sauce for the seared Scallops was unreal. Highly recommend, and the proximity to Little Caesar's arena makes it a perfect landing spot before an event. Will return!“

“We love this place in the summer when the patio area is open. Drinks are always hit or miss, but this time we came and they had the sippin Santa pop up menu which we've had elsewhere and the drinks were fantastic! Bartender told us a lot about the pop up and made great drinks. My husband ordered a whiskey ginger and he used a fresh ginger syrup which took the drink up a notch. Always will be back.“
