45 Best Sports Bars in Detroit

“Every time is the best time at Parlay Detroit! This isn't just a sports bar - the food and service is fine-dining, but with a live-DJ and incredible atmosphere. They also have a downstairs speakeasy and soon a cigar lounge. Detroit has needed a place like this for far too long.“

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

“The old locker room is where I met my husband of 35 years now, but the new locker has a great vibe as well. Food is Awesome, staff are friendly and helpful and the music brings a vibe that makes you happy and want to party. Let’s just say I love the Locker room. Ask for Lacey she’s the best waitress.“

“What a place! Came here on a Monday (when they'd opened specifically for an LFC match) and was blown away by the hospitality - Irish coffees and HT pizza anyone? - and the kindness shown to me by Jet (hope I've spelled tha right) who was running the place and assorted legends partaking in the match / beer / whisky. They even gave me a Detroit LFC supporters scarf which I'll be sure to take to Anfield when I next go. Super fun and lovely people - thank you!“

“Great place! We stopped in for dinner after a Tigers game and they took great care of us. The food was delicious and service was prompt and friendly. Four stars for atmosphere because it was a bit loud for dinner conversation at 5pm, but otherwise great!“

“Love this bar and these people!“

“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!“

“The Detroiter is awesome. Phenomenal staff and fantastic food. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I've had the saganaki sausage, Greek grilled chicken salad, waffle fries, fish and chips, and of course their burger...I'd get each one again lol. Great place to watch a game with a pitcher of dirty blonde. My home away from home. Come on in, meet the staff, grab a drink and have a great time!“

“always great food. mussels are awesome as is the Muff lata. Bloody Mary's are excellent and service is great!“

“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.“

“We had a rehearsal dinner for 40 people at Sheilds in Detroit and it was the best experience ever! The food was wonderful, the atmosphere was great and the staff were so awesome!!! When we got there everything was set up for us and they were very welcoming. The manager Jason was great, and had everything running smoothly. The wait staff…shout out to L & D we’re phenomenal! They were right there with refills, smiles, jokes and anything you needed. They made the experience so wonderful!!! I would recommend to anyone looking for a party venue, or just a dinner out to come eat here!! 5 stars!!!!!!“

“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!“
