“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“

“Sunday Funday 🎉
I was just introduced to WP this summer 2025. The fish and chip 🥰 and others items I’ve nibbled from my friend’s plate were yummy. The Sunday live music 🙌🏽. Drinks are also perfect. Three visits already- in 2 months.“

“The Detroiter is awesome. Phenomenal staff and fantastic food. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I've had the saganaki sausage, Greek grilled chicken salad, waffle fries, fish and chips, and of course their burger...I'd get each one again lol. Great place to watch a game with a pitcher of dirty blonde. My home away from home. Come on in, meet the staff, grab a drink and have a great time!“

“We held a 50th birthday party for our daughter in the private room last Saturday evening. The service and the food was extraordinary. We had 50 attendees that included old and not so old. The banquet items were outstanding and the chef did a marvelous job of preparation and presentation. Passed appetizers were a hit with everyone. (I particularly liked the crab cakes) Sheila, Yen, Rex, and Kat provided the beverage service and passed the appetizers and drink orders with smiles and efficiency. While we didn't see much of the kitchen staff, Gil, Emeka, Chaona, and Aaron provided culinary treats that had all the attendees marveling at the variety and taste. And most helpful were Joanna and Paul, the proprietors. Thank you Common Pub for a most memorable evening and event!“

“Grand Trunk Pub is a classic spot in downtown Detroit with a lot of character. The building itself is historic, and the high ceilings and old architecture give the place a really cool, vintage vibe. It feels like a mix of a traditional pub and a local Detroit hangout.

The food is solid pub-style comfort food. I tried the Reuben sandwich and it was flavorful and satisfying, especially with one of their Michigan craft beers. They have a great selection of local brews, which makes the experience even better.

Service was friendly and relaxed, and the atmosphere was lively without being too loud. Overall, Grand Trunk Pub is a great place to grab a drink and a hearty meal if you’re exploring downtown Detroit.“

“Wow, what a great experience we had at Eastwood Grille last night! We were a large table of 24 guests, and we were served by our waitress Tiffany with such prompt and courteous service, everyone at our table raved about it all night. We were never without drinks, our food came out piping hot with very generous proportions and great prices. Tiffany had us in and out , with bellies full in 1 1/2 hrs. Shout out to the chefs and to Wendi who also came to check on us through out our dinner. Would definately recommend this restaurant, we'll definately be back!“

“Food was good and service was acceptable (nothing special) but you had a group of 5 guys leave your restaurant last night somewhat bewildered after your waitress Katarina made it quite clear she was not happy with the 20% tip we gave her. Apparently, our stay of about 3 hours eating and drinking was excessive. We may not be back.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“Delicious food and drinks.“

“Jodi gave us amazing service, wings were great! Perfect place to hang out before the Tigers game. Second time going and I will definitely be back.“

“Cool idea, great beer selection. Website is nearly unusable, needs major improvement.“

“Kozy Lounge has a relaxed atmosphere, and serves the best burger in town! And Jacob is a delight behind the bar!“

“Great service. Great food. We had the sausage/cheese platter, and their pretzels. Pretty tolerant of two Kentucky boys who hit the beer pretty hard the two nights we dropped in. The place had a good crowd both nights. Nice little pub. If I'm ever up that way again, it'll be one of my first stops.“

“Awesome place to be they have a great menu very good and nice specials. The burgers are awesome. and good service. Mariesa is the bartender and takes very good car of us and the rest of the staff is very friendly too. gotta try it.“

“Checked out Eastern Market Brewing Company tonight, and I get why people talk about this place. It’s right in the heart of Eastern Market and has a great lineup of beers — enough options for everyone, whether you’re into IPAs or just want something easy to drink .

I grabbed a flight so I could pretend I’m a beer expert. I’m not, but the dark beer was smoother than I expected and the lager was the kind of crisp you want after a long week. The space itself feels laid back — good seating, and you can still catch whatever game is on without feeling like you’re in a packed sports bar.

Service was friendly, crowd was chill, and it’s the kind of spot where you could make this your go-to without even trying. Detroit beer, no pressure, good energy.

I’ll definitely be back — and I’m officially adding breweries to the list of places I “review” now.“

“This is a small, but cool vibe old-time neighborhood bar. Came here with a group to see the Brother Crowe band who are an amazing and gritty, bluegrass-leaning Celtic Roots powerhouse band. You grab your own drinks from the friendly and efficient bartenders, the menu had some great choices and everything came out hot and delicious. The band rocked out and everyone there was really getting into their high energy music, singing along and dancing. I hope I get a chance to come back again!“

“We came to Detriot to see the NCAA D1 National wrestling tournament. We stopped in and had a great time. The beer, food, and environment were wonderful and we give them 5 stars. Look forward to coming back. Mechanicsburg PA folks“

“I go here every Monday for open mic night. It is one of my favorite places to perform because of the fun atmosphere, the fantastic food, and the friendly folks who frequent it.“

“Best neighborhood bar in Detroit!! Started going there with Pearl & Sov when I was 13 Love that bar!!“

“What a place! Came here on a Monday (when they'd opened specifically for an LFC match) and was blown away by the hospitality - Irish coffees and HT pizza anyone? - and the kindness shown to me by Jet (hope I've spelled tha right) who was running the place and assorted legends partaking in the match / beer / whisky. They even gave me a Detroit LFC supporters scarf which I'll be sure to take to Anfield when I next go. Super fun and lovely people - thank you!“

“This is a great place... I love it... Sláinte“

“Great time! Be sure to say hi to Stanley!“

“Have been here a couple of times, every time the service is excellent. Nice atmosphere. Prices are fair, especially for beer, of which they have a good selection. Food is your standard Sysco stuff, but prepared well. Overall, I'll go back!“

“We went for the first time last night, and we absolutely loved it! We could not stop talking about how good the food tasted! We will definitely be back ❤️👏“

“Clean, welcoming and cold beer. You could call it a hole in the wall, but it's more than that when you step inside. Your welcomed by everyone in the bar and you'll definitely feel at home after just a few minutes...few places like this place.“

“Great staff. Friendly atmosphere.. great entertainment.“

“Delicious food and excellent selection of Michigan draft beers. Great atmosphere as well.“

“Like most places in Detroit, especially during the winter time I originally thought it might be a dive bar, but turned out. I was only half right one of the best breakfasts I had visiting my family in the area, The sausage gravy was Seasoned very well on the biscuits and gravy eggs were fluffy And the only time I have ever enjoyed home fries, crispy on the outside fluffy and soft in the middle.“

“Cool idea, great beer selection. Website is nearly unusable, needs major improvement.“

“New Restaurant in Hotel Indigo. With a full bar and tap beer.“

“Booked a show here and did EVERYTHING required just to have my spot given to someone who didn't do EVERYTHING required... Was told I'd get a discount for different dates, picked the date just to be told basically the same thing again... I kept my word and she didn't... Won't be doing ANY business with them...“

“Small little bar with a cozy and clean atmosphere. This place has really good food, the drinks are not watered down at all and the service is amazing. Everyone is encountered in my 3 visits in 2 days was very welcoming and charming. Will definitely come back the next time I am in the area.“

“Awesome pizza and a good choice of craft beers. Lots of daily deals on. The lady behind the bar who was serving, bringing the food out and clearing the tables needs a pay rise, she didn't stop, her name was Lenice , will be back. Pork pie pizza was ace“

“Todd does a great job! 🙂👍“

“Fun casual dining- great food, good service!“

“On Set. 19, I brought my 96-yr-old mom here for a drink and hors d'oeuvres. I had sent a note on the online reservation form that we would appreciate a quiet table. The receptionist had knowledge of the request without my saying anything, and immediately showed me three locations she thought would suit. I wish I had gotten her name, for management to commend her. (We arrived at 5:15, which should help you know to whom I refer.) We sat in a booth, and our server, Usama, made our nearly 3-hr (!) visit truly joyful and perfect! Again, management - please take note. We agreed that he was the best waiter either of us have ever had - attentive, fun and funny, and going the extra mile in tailoring our drinks to our (sweet-tooth!) tastes, and making us feel welcome and special. This was likely my mom's final "fancy" outing, and I am so grateful to Usama for making it perfect. Kudos also to the chefs. Our 3 dishes were superb - beef tips, shrimp, hummus.“

“The setting is personal and and cozy, great for date nights. Beer selection was nice a surprise and the drinks were top shelf, tasty and will get you right. The food was hot, prepared with love. Great staff from the hostess to bussing, a bit pricey but all worth it. Found my new lobster fix in February.“

“Came here before a post season tigers game. Got our food and drinks fast for the amount of customers inside. The chicken tenders where seasoned very well and the crinkle cut fries were the best crinkle cut fries ive ever had. Definitely recommend.“

“I belong to a group that has a regular meeting in July every year. This is the Second year in a row that we held it at 5th Ave. We had our event there this past Saturday and 5th Ave knocked it out of the park just as they did last year!

Megan set us up just as asked, and the venue was perfect for our members to converse and meet up! The staff was very friendly and helpful! What really stood out was the flatbread pizzas. Our membership was raving about the great pizzas!

We will defiantly have our event there again next year if they will have us!“
