50 Best Sports Bars near Ecorse

“Anybody reading this, my mamaw was the barmaid there beginning in the 60s. Annie Ruth Ladd. They also lived above the bar for some time. My mother told me that she vividly remembers looking out the window and seeing the National guard going down Jefferson into Detroit. At that time, she was 9 years old. My mother grew up to work in the bar. Her name is Roseann or Rosie. I spent lots of my youth there, playing quarter machines. Rosie Also worked Square Deal. Y'all probably knew my papaw too his name was Jim Ray Boatwright and he was known in River Rouge as being one of the Town drunks lol God rest his soulCan't wait to stop in and reminisce!Also, if anybody knew my family or can share stories, please let me know. Thank you.“

“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.“

“Donovan was an amazing sever today and the drinks are always great !!!“

“Kristian is by far the best and most fun waiter I have ever met! He always greets our parties, even large parties was such welcoming enthusiasm. His orders are always accurate, his personality is unique and exciting for not only adults but children as well! The food is great, The service is excellent! 10/10 would recommend“

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

“She did a wonderful job we had a table of 12 she made sure everything was good and she was patience and had a great personality ! Hopefully we have her again!“

“Love this bar and these people!“

“Went there to watch sports for game day. Nessa our server proved to be very special and capable.

We had the privilege of meeting Eric (owner) who was a gracious host.

We travel for NFL games all over and this is best time we’ve had“

“SOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOODDDD !!!!“

“We've eaten here a few times. The food was great each time, and our server was terrific. It's tough to find restaurants with consistently good food and service. As a former server, it is hard not to notice every detail, and I am super picky about food. I just ordered a carry-out for my family, and I expect the quality to be the same. Definitely recommend 👌“

“Thank you for great lunch My kids had blast one of her 1st time in nice place to eat that was not fast food. She was younger when cov19 happened so going out to eat is still new to her. She felt so special and want to come again“

“*EDIT:
The owner did reach out to me to apologize and offer cleaning/replacements for my clothing. They also spoke with the staff to make a training and learning lesson for them which I appreciate. I’m changing my rating of the experience based on Owen’s response, as most owners do not attempt to rectify a bad situation.

I have never had an experience as bad as the one I just had at Firebird Tavern. Needless to say I will never return or recommend this place to anyone. The visit started well and our server was very pleasant and attentive. Halfway through our visit, a full tray of drinks and shots was spilled on me to the point that a mop was needed and a wet floor signed was placed behind me. Not only that, but my white shirt is stained and not reparable. I was soaked. The server eventually did apologize to me and told me that she was personally comping ONE of my drinks. First of all, I would NEVER expect the server to comp any drinks. Second of all, I was never approached by the manager to access the damage or talk about comps, WHICH I would assume from the establishment itself. When we were brought our bill, I asked the server, ‘what is the establishment taking care of for my damages’. The manager eventually came to talk to me and did not seem aware of the situation, even after many servers explained what happened and I showed him my clothing that was still wet and stained. He simply replied that the server was comping one drink and he would see what he could do. The server came back with the same bill, no initiative from the bar or manager and I paid for the bill as it was. How is this acceptable from a bar that my table paid several rounds of drinks and food for the night? I have never experienced this lack of care in my life and cannot express my disappointment and frustration with the management and overall experience of Firebird. What an embarrassment to our city. As a resident of the downtown area, I would never expect such a terrible experience.“

“Great environment for a game or if you're a sports fan. Staff is usually pretty personable but can be very overwhelmed. Especially on a game day. It just seems it may be time for hiring. Maybe time to expand operations.

The burger was delicious. And the jalapeño poppers taste fresh. My advice would be hire some wait staff. At least part time for game days“

“I absolutely love this place. I always make it there on a Friday night, for obvious reasons, LOL! The bartenders are a joy to be around, and really bring the atmosphere together. The beers are cheap, and the food is decent for bar food (I normally get the buffalo wrap or the steak bites). Mostly an older crowd, but everyone is there to have a good time and that’s what I always have! Can’t go wrong with a bucket of beer.“

“Great atmosphere on Saturday Nights! Only LATIN NIGHT in GREEKTOWN!“

“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!“

“Nice friendly place,staff and customers,“

“Best Bar/restaurant Downriver! The food and drinks are fantastic. The staff is amazing!“

“The Goat is hands down one of the best sports bars I've ever visited! The atmosphere is electric, especially during game nights. The decor pays homage to sports legends, creating a lively and nostalgic vibe.

The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure you’re well taken care of. The menu is a standout, featuring delicious wings, mouth-watering burgers, and a great selection of craft beers. Plus, with plenty of screens around, you’ll never miss a play.

Whether you’re catching a game with friends or enjoying a casual meal, The Goat is the perfect spot. Highly recommend it for any sports fan!“

“Service was great. Waitress rocked ...Yesss“

“Fun friendly atmosphere and great food!“

“Ate here on Red Wings Game day, Fantastic food, Super Friendly staff, Great prices and free parking for the Early birds!! Highly Recommend this on game day or any other day.“

“Very good place. One of my go to spots when heading downtown Wyandotte. Good and tasty basic bar fun menu. Good daily specials. Good happy hour. TVs for sports. Crowd is usually fun. Little outdoor space to chill when weather allows. No negative, all good. I'll be back!“

“Great fish n chips, friendly staff!“

“Great bloody’s -you won’t b disappointed“

“A long time favorite for some of the best wings In the City!“

“Yesterday we celebrated my grandpa's 92nd birthday and Cramdon's catered the event. The man and woman who were there were troopers, bbq'ing and setting up in the heat. All of the food was very good and the price was very reasonable. We would definitely do this again. Thank you Cramdons! Cheers.“

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

“Every single food item my group got we loved. I got pierogies, and Philly with truffle tots. First off whoever thought of truffle tots should win an award. The truffle, herbs, and cheese get in the crispy crevices which makes it so tasty! My friends got pretzels and burgers... all great! $4 craft drafts on Thurs with music bingo was nice! If I ever drive 45 minutes to Wyandotte again, I'll hit this place up.“

“The Only Clubhouse That Matters!“

“We took a day trip from about 3 hours away to get some wings and watch some college football. This is the second closest Hooters to our house but we always come to this one because the food is great and the vibe is always good! Special shoutout to the manager Lisa and the bartender Sophia for the hospitality!! We will be back again soon!“

“I had hosted a 50th birthday party this past weekend!! The team at JJ’s were more than wonderful and accommodating! The service and food were fantastic not to mention affordable! I highly recommend JJ’s to host any event!“

“Best chili ever! Friendly, tasty, comfortable and full of great spirit!“

“I had the best service from Casaandra ,she is professional ,outgoing service is 1000%“

“Went randomly on a Saturday afternoon, very pleased we did. Our server was very kind and attentative. The food was really good everything seemed fresh. Popcorn chicken and wings for the kids were huge portions. Family raved about the ribs, and all food was delicious too.“

“Great food & service! Friendly atmosphere“

“Love this place! The food and drinks are amazing and the staff is even better.“

“great time. GREAT food & drinks“

“Unfortunately, I had the steak chunk sandwich, on special....their name for it was a Cheesesteak sandwich...chunks of reheated old steak, with ample grizzle, without cheese...couldn't eat it...but the onion rings were great...used to love going there, but the food has dropped in quality...sad. Did get ample apologies from our waitress, and it's certainly not her fault...she did go inside, after seeing the mess on my plate...comped half the price, even with 3/4 left...oh well...thank you, I guess.“

“Great food and drinks. Service is friendly.“

“Read on Facebook how good their burgers were. And they did not disappoint! The burgers are "Great"!“

“SOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOODDDD !!!!“

“Just got a nice craft beer before the start of a tiger game. Friendly bar tender and fast service. Nice sized craft and standard beer menu. Low top, booth and bar seating. I liked the environment that made it feel like you were at a pub and not inside a baseball park. Pricey but I would return.“

“Great Atmosphere to watch a game or have lunch paired with a cocktail.

I’ve visited 4x since opening and every time the food has been tasty (Ahi Nachos, Waygu Sliders & Fries-nice & crispy!)

My one complaint is that not one employee has mentioned that an automatic gratuity is added (20%) to every check even if dining for one.
I don’t have an issue with it being added but, this not being verbally communicated is wrong.
I’m aware after the fourth visit that it is printed in the smallest font at the bottom of the menu. It’s almost as if it’s being “hidden”.

Look at the menu and form your own opinions.

I lived in Downtown Detroit from 2005-2020 and have seen the challenges of finding staff and them being tipped (not tipped) by patrons. This is why I’m okay with the automated tip but, it needs to mentioned up front or when presenting the check plus, in bigger font on the menu!

I hope some changes are made otherwise I will choose to go elsewhere on my next visit to Detroit.

I can only imagine how many people have tipped 20-25% on top of the automated 20%.
I was fooled 3x…

Not good karma…“

“I choose to celebrate my birthday here. Food was great, drinks were cold, and my kids were able to have fun with us! Highly reccommend this place not only for festivities but as a nice get out the house!“
