30 Best Cocktail Bars near Farmington

“First time there and it was delicious! I definitely recommend!“

“There's a calm dope vibe...“

“Wow!

My wife and I had our wedding at the end of May, and Suzy and the team at Chive handled our food, drinks, décor, and day-of coordination. It was truly an incredible experience—our wedding was even more beautiful than we could have imagined, and we have Chive to thank for that.

Let’s start with the food. We wanted something special for our guests (and ourselves), and Suzy crafted a thoughtful, homemade menu that reflected our exact tastes. The mushroom and pea pasta, lemon chicken with squash, Caesar salad, grilled asparagus—everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. And the dessert spread was elegant and delicious: fruit, doughnuts, and the best chocolate banana cake I’ve ever had. She also created inventive and refreshing signature cocktails that were a big hit.

The décor was just as impressive. Suzy helped us bring our gem-inspired color palette to life with rich greens, purples, and blues that created such a unique and elegant vibe. On the big day, she and her team did an amazing job with setup, smoothing out details, and making sure everything ran seamlessly.

We truly couldn’t be happier. Thank you, Suzy and Chive, for helping make our wedding unforgettable!“

“Love it there! Food is very good and the mimosa’s are super!“

“I've had dinner at Sidecar Slider Bar - Farmington almost every week for the past year...they host trivia on Tuesdays from 7-9 and Quizmaster Christina always makes it a fun event! They have a wide selection of drinks, an amazing bartender, an attentive and caring wait staff, and a menu stuffed full of delicious items--a lot of which can even be made gluten free!“

“Concept of the bar was great. Waitresses or lovely. Tom sandovalt want to be bartender complete jackass! Will never come back.“

“Amazing place all around. Five stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend“

“I’ve driven by Stables Bar and Grill, and I decided to stop in one day. Everyone is super friendly, great atmosphere, cold beer, and great food. I had a couple of draft beers 🍺 I ordered a cheeseburger 🍔 and both were great! I will definitely be back!“

“The perfect atmosphere for networking, live band, and socializing. I attend weekly and the people are amazing! 💕❤💕“

“We came on a Saturday for couples night. Staff was very nice, but the music is extremely dated and it's hard to find anything worth dancing to, we stayed from about 9-12:30 and not a single good dance song played, but they played down with the sickness!?

The women's bathroom stalls don't lock, they are saloon doors that open out, but my husband said the men's room has locking stalls.

They have a room in the back where they allow smoking.

No local beer on tap or bottle which was super disappointing. How does a Michigan bar not have Bells? There is also a 3.5% surcharge on any card transactions, which seems dated.

Overall I could see this as a brief meeting spot, but not somewhere to spend your night. The music is not good, they play grainy music videos from the 80s/90s most of the night and when they aren't playing this, they play what looks like softcorn porn from the 90s from a large screen on the small dance floor.“

“Great "local" establishment with great food. Went on a Friday for fish fry including cod, perch and jumbo shrimp. Salad was crispy and fresh too. Tv's for sports (Tigers, Lion's, Red Wings) great place if you like comfortable and great food and local) we will definitely be back often“

“Great food Hawaiian chicken skewers Mini shawarma sandwiches are delicious Great drink specials“

“Came here with some friends for speed dating event. It was a nice bar and staff was very friendly. But it was a total waste of time for speed dating because there were only two guys and about 10 girls. Nice bar to come and chill but not for speed dating“

“I’m just a girl who loves The Ledger. Quality ingredients ✅ Innovative menu ✅ Big portions ✅ Friendly Staff ✅ Fast Service ✅ We’ve been here many times and the best part is consistency 💯. I love it here.“

“Such a blast to play here!“

“Outstanding service - very good food and drinks - the time table on seating was a bit discerning - we would have ordered dessert after a great meal but otherwise a very nice evening“

“I came here once and have been wanting to go back since, but couldn't remember what it was called. it just happened to pop up in a reel 😃 cant wait to go back“

“The spicy margarita was amazing.“

“Listen. Y’all gotta see it to believe it. Great venue, BLACK OWNED AND OPERATED! Come to the burbs and get a one of a kind experience. ✨ Shoutout to Courtney!“

“Food was amazing. Everything we had was delicious. Great Sangria. Attentive staff. Only wish was…turn the music down. It was too loud to hear our friends talking.“

“Delicious! Make your own salad was wonderful with lots of good ingredients.“

“We've had our server Maddie before. She is on top of her game. Great customer service and her attention to detail is flawless. All the servers have "pep" in their step. Great overall experience!! We'll be back again, soon.“

“Great food and drinks, wonderful atmosphere for a ladies night out!“

“Our anniversary...great staff...the hostess was more than accommdating to move our table from middle to room to side so I wouldn't panic..thank you! Our server Gera(sorry dont know spelling) was so attentive to detail and very friendly...thanks for everything“

“Great atmosphere; really like what they did with their patio. Waitstaff has always been great. We orders the EG Nicks Burger and the Greek Burger. The only negative is the tables are too small. Great if you’re only having drinks, but too small for dinner.“

“This place rocked tonight. Normally I've only come in here for ice cream, a boozy shake or a couple of beers on the go. However we decided to have dinner here tonight and it didn't disappoint, hatch nachos with chorizo definitely hit the spot! The sweet potato fries with the cinnamon dipping sauce was by far the best I've had anywhere else. Kids loved the flight of ice cream and my wife loved the shrimp salad. Since this place has always been a go-to place for a quick stop, we'll definitely be coming back for dinner again soon! Service was very good and friendly. Had a chance to meet the owner and chat a couple of minutes to share my great experience. Cheers!“
