35 Best Bars near Dexter

“I absolutely love this bar. Award winning whiskey blended by the owner and the speakeasy vibe is beautiful. It's surprisingly kid-friendly, everyone is welcome. The bartender just pulled out his guitar and is amazing so with this cocktail it's a great night.“

“We go here every Friday after work. The service is superb, the beer selection is impressive, and the atmosphere is chill. I am vegetarian and super appreciative for the portobello burger. Any food anyone orders in our group comes out fresh and hot. Some favorites from our group include the sliders, poutine and they have sweet potato fries! This last week they had a chickpea burger on special which was super exciting for me and it was delicious! I hope this becomes a regular offering!“

“Dexter Pub is the best. I’ve been going there since I was a kid, and I go there with my parents a lot. The food is amazing and Peter is just the nicest guy. It’s the best place in Dexter to get food.

Edit 11/2/24: my husband, son, and I went to the Pub after trick-or-treating on Halloween and the hostess was extremely rude. When she sat us to our seats, she slammed the menus on the table, gave me a dirty look, and said “here you go.” I won’t change my rating, only because we like Pete and we eat there all the time. But that hostess needs a serious attitude adjustment or I will have to say something next time she’s rude.“

“Had the tasting menu and it was exceptional. Wonderful atmosphere and the staff is amazing. Worth every penny!“

“I'm going to have to keep this short as I have a endless supply of kind words about Hidden King. This place is the definition of hidden gem. The service was absolutely amazing, the inside looks like you're traveling into this super secret club with games at every table. Mark (the owner) is such a chill guy to talk to and very much approachable along with the rest of the staff. The drinks are also absolutely amazing. They have a bunch of creative spins to all of their drinks. If you also don't want to drink they have an assortment of teahaus teas that you can grab too. This place is just such a hidden gem and such a cool place to be.

10/10 - I tell everyone that would listen about Hidden King and how awesome it is.“

“Friendly, Fun, and enjoyed the selection of drinks.“

“It's really nice having AADC in the neighborhood, and as a distilling company they do great work and make quality spirits. They'll also often have delicious food trucks, which brings great food into the neighborhood. The vibe is lovely. The only downside is that you're paying an arm and a leg for a weak drink. We don't come here for the drinks.“

“We had a great birthday meal with my daughter. Elijah, Jake, and Dylan all made our experience there exceptional. Drinks were out of this world as was the food and the service. Loved every minute of it!“

“I came from out of town and ordered the Miso Sea Bass. Literally the BEST fish I have ever eaten in my entire life!!! Cannot talk it up enough! Sooo worth the drive to get some of that!“

“everything about this place is legit!“

“We went late at night (for Ann arbor 💀) to this establishment when we found they were open. It was very serendipitous. There was a very cute hostess who invited us in, was super nice and despite them closing the bar in a couple minutes they were able to squeeze in our drinks. I ordered a frozen lychee marg, and got a horrible brain freeze, but it was worth it cause it tasted yummy. The cute hostess walked us out and we had a conversation about our orders. I'm coming here again next time to properly enjoy the vibes and the company of beautiful people. Happy pride month!“

“1st time eating at this location, service was amazing, food was hot & yummy, the hostess is so friendly, our waitress Michaela was so sweet. The manager was very nice, he had a smile on his face. The atmosphere was clean and nice. Very very happy about our lunch. Thank you guys! ❤️“

“TLDR; TBP is a very intimate venue with excellent shows. (@Steve Hoffstetter) The Blind Pig did a great job managing our ADA/accommodation and made us feel genuinely welcomed. Regardless of your disability, (or lack of disability), if you have a chance to visit The Blind Pig- do it! You won’t regret it. They went above and beyond, (where so very many other businesses fail) was with our accommodations; as my mother used a cane to get around after breaking her hip. While yes, they legally are obligated to because of the ADA, however, where some places do the bare minimum, like leave people hanging, or make them feel like a burden for asking, TBP makes you feel truly welcome. Faith made sure my phone calls were returned in a very timely fashion (I purchased the tickets a day and a half before the show- she was definitely on it, to respond so quickly with care). Our seats were marked reserved, there were multiple people who could direct us where to go and who to contact (if needed) upon arrival. There’s been something that happened in our family several months ago that hasn’t brought joy to any of us; and seeing my mother relax and laugh, like she hasn’t done in months, made the extra night special. Thank you Faith, Molly, and all the other employees of TBP for making it a truly memorable experience. I can’t wait to see another show there. 💕“

“We sat on the patio and I loved all of the flowers and plants that surrounded us! Large menu. The pepperoni and cheese stuffed breadsticks are amazing! My burger was great and my husband enjoyed his Philly. Great experience!“

“Fun acoustic music and crowd!“

“We went out of our way to come back here this year like we did last year for my friend's birthday, had a great time planned arts and getting children's and having a great time. Also really nice to listen to the music from upstairs“

“Authentic, fun and gritty!Usually a great DJ on Wednesday. Unfortunately the new DJ is not main stream so fewer people out partying! Tonight we had a different vibe hope it continues!Unfortunately they continue to have no vibe. This first video is before and the rest are before“

“Hell Saloon is the definition of a great local spot 🍻🔥. Cold drinks, friendly staff, and that laid-back Michigan energy that makes you want to stick around all night. They keep the music pumping, food hits the spot, and the crowd is always fun. If you’re rolling through Hell, MI, this place is a must-stop!“

“The French dip, burger, and waffle fries were delicious! Our bartender, Adria, was very friendly and professional. I stopped another waitress, Brooke, and she said how much she loved working there. The place was packed and the owners were even helping clean off tables. Great atmosphere and food. We will definitely be back!“

“The best place to see amazing comedic talent! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Genuinely some of the best cocktails I've had, so well balanced and refreshing. Service was impeccable. The unassuming entrance and ambeance make it feel close to a speakeasy. The menu was also well organized, which made drink selection easier. Bravo“

“Dope ambiance. Good margs, they have a great back patio.“

“It was my wife's birthday celebration. C\nThis is an energetic atmosphere but not noisy. The staff was professional and friendly. The cocktails were very good. The tapas were excellent and the paella was tasty. At one point, to our dismay, the delivery of food to our table was rushed. And kudos to management who made that situation right. We will definitely return.“

“Thanksgiving dinner was fantastic! Everything was freshly made and the wait staff was excellent. It was crowded but everyone did a great job! Kudos to you!“

“I dined with my 4 year old & two 13 year olds. We all shared two baskets of fries, a Club and a tenders app. Including a beer & Pepsi the total only $50. The real 5 ⭐️ goes to the service staff. I’ve truly never experienced better. My toddler dropped her water glass which shattered under our table. Before I knew what had happened the staff were at our table to help. We stood out of the way where someone helped me dry her pants & replaced her water. The staff cleaned the mess then moped/dried the floor within ~3 min. It was AMAZING. Thank you!!“

“Jackie is the best server!! If I lived closer I would be a regular at this spot and want her every time! She was so on top of everything, making sure we had drinks if they were almost empty, making sure we got our food in before last call. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place! Food was great but the service was better 😉 someone please promote her, she deserves the recognition!“

“We visited tonight after having a rough day. We have been eating out quite a bit because of life…so we have a lot of waiters/waitress. Tonight, we had Bella and she was an absolute gem! She was very attentive, very friendly, and quick to attend to our needs. It was a great dining experience with a wonderful dinner and a great waitress! Thank you Bella!“

“We had dinner on a Wednesday night in December. It was not busy at all, but we had a pleasant evening. The menu is very interesting and the two items we selected were nicely presented and very tasty. We also had an exceptional dessert. Service by Kristina was excellent - professional, friendly and knowledgeable. The wine list is extensive albeit a bit pricey. \n\nWe very much enjoyed the experience. Two minor items that seemed to be unnecessary and took a little shine off of the experience - charging us a crazy amount for soda water from the bar was ridiculous, especially considering they were out of the normal bottled sparkling water available. Most restaurants would have just offered that gratis. And charging a credit card fee for such a significant dinner bill. We understand this may be standard practice some places, but with the entree and wine prices being substantial already, it seems this would be better not added on top.“

“Delicious appetizers...crab cakes and potato skin were perfect and the complimentary brownie birthday sundae was superb!“

“I have been to the tavern many times and have always received great service and great food at a reasonable price. Nice atmosphere.“

“Make a point to stop here if you love cocktails! We were in town for a quick visit with family, stopped by for a quick drink, and were not disappointed. Our bartender took care of us that afternoon, and we were made to feel like we were family. Apparently, he was responsible for 8 of the seasonal cocktails, so he's got one hell of a palette, because they were all great! Get the truffle fries with everything on them (so good we got them twice!) 10/10 experience, we will be making a point to stop here again when we're in town!“

“Detroit Pizza! Great pizza experience if you’re looking for fresh ingredients! Really hit the spot on a Friday evening. Christian had a very welcoming presence and very attentive. Refreshing and relaxing dining experience. Highly recommend! Also hit the Havana cigar bar for an added bonus and nightcap to your evening..;) Thanks Christian!“

“Is this 18 and up on Friday’s?“

“Very fun place to be at.“

“Last Thursday night before "Sounds & Sights" in Chelsea we had dinner here. We had a great meal, with excellent service from Jesus R. The prices were reasonable and the food was delicious. I was a little concerned when we arrived to see signs posted that the restaurant was "understaffed, so please be patient." I needn't have worried. Soon after arriving we had abundant chips and salsa on our table (which helped keep the grandkids, and me, occupied), and Jesus R took our orders without much delay at all, and the kitchen got the food out pretty fast. Definitely a good choice, and we will be back.“
