15 Best Bars in Ferndale

“I’ve had a great experience with B. Nektar. I recently stopped in for replacement caps for the growlers I use to store water, and they have always been very accommodating.

I prefer using glass containers, and their growlers work really well for me because they let me store a larger volume than a typical bottle while still keeping everything in glass. The caps do wear out over time, and I really appreciate that B. Nektar has been willing to replace them for me free of charge when needed.

It may seem like a small thing, but that kind of customer service makes a big difference. They’ve always been helpful, easy to work with, and willing to take care of something that keeps me coming back. I’m very thankful for the way they’ve treated me and would absolutely recommend them. Stupid Man Suit is my go to. Love to see them still making it.“

“This is a hidden gem in Ferndale, MI. The staff was great and the food was good with generous portions. The beer selection was amazing. I was a first time visitor on August 21, 2025. I signed up for the rewards program and received $10.95 off my bill. I will definitely visit this restaurant over and over again.“

“We first went to imperial in 2024 on our first visit to Detroit. As soon As we landed, we drove straight here for a meal that we knew would satisfy. The service is always fast and friendly ( ask your server for recommendations for food, drinks, activities they won’t steer you wrong). We opted for the taco of the week ( vegan chorizo and creamy), imperial Sonoran and tostada, as well as the nachos. We were all stuffed and happy. Shout out to Pricilla“

“Kevin was our Bartender for my daughter’s birthday party. He was amazing and awesome.“

“Stopped here while I was in Michigan visiting family. The staff was very nice. They had lots of vegan options and everything that was vegan was labeled. I decided to get an acai bowl. Both options had a rawnola topping and because the bowls were labeled raw and dairy free but not vegan, I asked if the rawnola had raw honey in it. They said they didn't know, so I added almond butter on top of the acai bowl instead of the rawnola. The acai bowl was pretty good, but a little small for the price. I also tried a raw apple fig ball which was yummy! Overall this was a cool place to go for lunch, but a little pricey. They had lots of options (including several raw vegan options) to choose from and pretty much all ingredients were labeled. They had a few counter seats and one outside table for seating.“

“If hospitality were any more inclusive here, they’d be serving drinks to houseplants. Nice selection of n/a bevande..“

“Ate here last night for Valentine’s Day date with my husband. First visit to this location and it was top notch! Our server Alejandro was attentive and on top of things and so friendly. Food and atmosphere was excellent and margaritas great. We will definitely be back ! ❤️“

“Love this place and the atmosphere. Our server was very friendly and did a great job.

I think the food here is generally good but so many of our dishes were extremely salty they were almost inedible like the rice side dish and the sauce on the chicken dish. Pickle pie isn’t that special and wouldn’t recommend. Basically an Alfredo pizza with some pickles on top.“

“I first knew Detroit Fleat when it was a restaurant, and I always enjoyed relaxing on their patio with a refreshing drink during Michigan's warm months. When they transitioned to a space focused solely on events, I felt a bit sad. However, once I became pregnant, I knew I wanted to host my baby shower at Detroit Fleat! The venue always has an excellent vibe, and their bar and planning staff are fantastic. It’s a great location and very safe for kids. Without a doubt, if I plan another party, I will definitely call Detroit Fleat again.“

“Our bartender, Beth, was awesome….and she made us a GREAT corned beef sandwich. Loved the vibe in this place. Highly recommend. Oh and a very, very cool juke box with fantastic music“
