7 Best Dive Bars near Farmington Hills

“Mulligans Pub & Grub holds a special place in my heart as the first bar I stepped into when I moved to Michigan a decade ago. It has consistently been my go-to spot, and amidst many other bars, it stands out as a place where everyone knows your name and offers the best prices in town. The recent change in ownership has only elevated the experience, bringing in new and exciting elements. The food at Mulligans is unrivaled, earning its title as the best in town without question. Whether you're there for a casual meal or a special event, the menu delivers satisfaction. The introduction of karaoke and top-notch fish fry nights adds an extra layer of entertainment, making every visit unique. The pub's dynamic atmosphere ensures there's always something happening, from game nights to opening early on St. Patrick's Day for an all-day celebration. I celebrated my 30th birthday at Mulligans, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The staff went above and beyond to make it an unforgettable experience. They even allow patrons to host their birthdays, ensuring each celebration is as memorable as the last. Don't forget to mention "The Vik Show" when you stop by – you're guaranteed a warm welcome and a smiling face. Mulligans Pub & Grub is more than just a bar; it's a community hub where good times are a guarantee. See you there!“

“We hosted a weekend afternoon event at this location. The staff and owner couldn't have been nicer to work with. The owner, Sue, went above and beyond, such a lovely person to work with. This restaurant/bar is fantastic. Great location, right on the water. Great outdoor space. Highly recommend.“

“This is an excellent dive. The bartenders are welcoming and speedy. I've literally only had fries here, but they were great. This place feels like you stepped back in time to a better time. They have two pool tables (rarely full) and a shuffleboard table. Strpng drinks at a reasonable price. Overall, excellent place.“

“Great local, "speak easy" type bar with excellent food and even better spirits!The atmosphere is welcoming and ready for you to experience!!Thank you to everyone at Stables Bar & Grill for making the dream work!!!Parking: There is parking in front of Stables, along with an overflow parking lot right by the establishment.“

“One of the original last old school bars on the west side. People from all walks of life hang out here. Mostly locals, but don't compare them to other businesses. Check your pre judging at the door. It's not for people that want a business to cater to them and what they expect. They are not here to entertain you or listen to your silly complaints. Get a drink and relax. Everyone has experienced problems - you are not special, remember that and you will enjoy yourself.“

“My husband I went there last night for Valentine's Day to "re-do" our first ever meeting of each other which happened there almost 17 years ago. They had a table reserved, service with a smile (and then some!) AND cheese sticks served in the shape of a heart. ❤️ Hands down..THE best place around!“

“In the words of Patrick Swayze, "I want you to be nice until it's time to not be nice." If you're looking for live music from a blind dude and some pretty intensive fight scenes, you'll love Roadhouse. Sorry, I had to do it. Great place to have a drink and unwind, no frills, no rules, just right.“
