50 Best Bars near Grosse Pointe Park

“Everything is top notch . Staff amazing. Great atmosphere. Kid friendly.“

“The SE MI Brewery Discovery Tour continues. (I'm done counting, it takes too much effort)
The building used to be a church. I personally love that repurposing. (Once saw a church knocked down to put in a Walmart! ) The layout works great: big U-shaped bar surrounded by 4-seat high-top tables. The all-important stainless steel vessels taking the place of the pulpit & choir. 6 big screens are spread around for the sports oriented. There is a room of the back of the main one with big leather-clad easy chairs & an actual fireplace. So cozy.
The free parking is in the back but you have to enter from the Biergarten which is entered from the corner. So, if you or a compadre are using a wheelchair, get dropped off at the corner.
The beer list is pretty broad, 2 pages, the food menu is of decent size.
Got a Lip Lock Cherry stout followed by a Peach Blonde. The stout was less sweet than expected (based on nothing) but nicely balanced. The peach version of the Dirty Blonde was tasty and refreshing.
Ate an Atwater Brat in-between. The brat was OK. The pretzel bun was good, the toppings (cheese, jalapeños, bacon bits) were good, too. The brat itself was the weak spot, tasted too much like a big hotdog.“

“Howlers and Growlers had The Best French Fries!!!!“

“Top class saloon I absolutely love coming to. Live bands, whiskey is never a bad thing, and everyone working here is always very welcoming. If you've never been here, you're missing out!“

“Wonderful place to stop and have a drink. Great service, quick with asking if you need anything, patient with questions. Their brisket fries and spinach artichoke dip are perfect to go with any of their great beer choices. Keep up the good work!“

“Tonight we stopped in after my son's DCFC soccer practice. The Golden Margarita on the rocks was SO refreshing after a long day of work. We sat in the outdoor "garden" and were lucky enough to meet the owner and talk about being business owners and plants! We will be back. My husband and I really enjoyed our meal.“

“I had a wonderful experience my first time here. Our server, Anna, was very helpful and able to recommend the kinds of wine we each wanted. We had the cheese tray that we shared and it was delicious as well as filled with variety. We spent over 2 hours outside at their sidewalk tables and enjoyed the atmosphere. It was a wonderful experience!“

“Food is always good! The Lentil Soup is the best!! We get it by the quart to go!!!!! So Good!!!!! Rice Pudding is Delicious! Picking up an order for dinner tonight!!!“

“Luke was an excellent driver on Detroit Rolling Pub. He was lots of fun and a careful and alert driver.“

“We dined here for the first time this week and had an incredible experience. The ambience and quality of service really stood out to us. The build out of the space is also beautiful. The food was some of the best we’ve had in Detroit. We especially recommend the chips and side salsas, tlayuda, tetela, and enchiladas! We will definitely be returning.“

“Very cool atmosphere! Awesome bartender!!! Great place“

“Quintessential Detroit, I had such an amazing time having a few espresso martinis and a micro of super high in bourbon the bartender josh is Super professional enjoyed the cocktails thank you so much. I suggest everybody checking this place out when they visit Detroit.“

“My cousin wed their beautiful bride last night and their original post wedding brunch location fell through at the last minute. Groups of us came through right as Supergeil opened. Now let me tell you, they moved mountains to host our celebration. The food was incredible and the warm hummus was some of the best I’ve ever had. Thank you thank you thank you for today! Cheers 🍸 10/10 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I love Willis show Bar. The atmosphere and ambiance is amazing. It's my sister and I go to spot when we go out for some live entertainment and good libations.“

“I haven't been here yet, but form what I see it seems like it is a pretty nice lil cocktail bar.“

“Friendly service, great cocktails and pizza!“

“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!“

“perfect place for an adventure, Sunday Funday!“

“Historic (1902) Corktown Irish Pub w/ antique revolvers & Firefighter memorabilia. Smallish place that gets packed when busy & definitely a proper neighborhood/dive vibe. Nothing fancy but a well stocked bar n pretty fair prices! I didn't even know they served food but i always come at weird times/days. i like stopping in on slow days! N open on mondays! It's definitely worth checking out! 🍀 🍺 🍻 ☘️“

“My son and I stopped for a beer last Saturday afternoon. We were the only people there. Mary sat with us and gave us a detailed history of the place—which I’m sure she’s done hundreds of times. She is so nice. Loved the place. Stroh’s beer are very inexpensive, too. No food but Mary recommended another bar for lunch in nearby Hamtramck, which turned out to be a great place. There are a few parking spots behind the bar, otherwise it’s street parking.“

“I love the vibe created here. Last time I came was during Movement and it was so packed everyone was standing outside, which wasn’t for me. But I’m glad to have visited again so soon. I would definitely recommend getting a sorrel drink while you are there. They also have a great selection of wines most time. I always enjoy catching a DJ set while I’m there. I’m gonna bring my vinyls next time to see if I can sneak on for a 30 minute set.“

“Wonderful place to go for a special occasion. The entertainment is always top notch. The food was absolutely delicious and the entire staff at the top of their game!“

“Great bar and very friendly people here. The neighborhood is such a great place!“

“Detroit keeps surprising me. In every corner is a #DetroitFriendly neighborhood restaurant owner with a special place filled with an old soul serving a neighborhood. Stadt Garten is one of our #ThirdPlace gems.

If you're looking to dial things down a bit, step in, order a snack, ask for a wine recommendation, and relax with a friend or alone. You will leave refreshed.“

“Beautiful place for a special occasion.“

“Kelly's Bar has done it, reached the top tier, Smashing records with burgers that bring cheer. Double patties nestled in sesame embrace, Cheese, lettuce, onions, and sauce, a taste chase. Rex Packing's meat, a blend that's divine, Crafted with care, a true foodie's sign. Susan's verdict? The burger's a hit, But wait, there's more, a wings summit! Moist, crispy wings, a flavor affair, Cajun rub and Buffalo, a spicy pair. Lemon pepper adds its zesty grace, A feast for taste buds in every case. Broccoli cheddar bites, a friend's delight, Adding depth to this culinary flight. Corned beef egg rolls, a twist so fine, Crunchy, dainty shells, a unique design. Kelly's Bar, a haven of taste and glee, Where flavors dance and spirits roam free. A culinary journey, an epicurean play, Where every dish shines in its own way.“

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

“My go to venue for local shows!“

“Staff is excellent! Awesome live venue.“

“Friendly staff!! Quick service.“

“Nice atmosphere, nostalgic vibe.

Parking: Parking was great even on a Saturday night

Kid-friendliness: Likely kid friendly during the week or daytime.
Older kids/teens would have a better time.“

“Hands down, my absolute FAVORITE BAR in the Detroit Metro area. August the bartender is one of the coolest people you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting and knows how to pour a damn good drink. Be sure to ask August for a shot of Fernet and he'll tell you "It's like 1000 fairies dancing on your tongue!".“

“Kasey was our server. She took excellent care of us. Kasey guided us through the menu with our dietary restrictions. She was extra attentive. The food was amazing. We had a few appetizers and split an entree. The portion sizes are plenty! Highly recommend Zuzu.“

“Best and most famous dive bar in Detroit. This place has been family owned for 100 years. It's very welcoming to whoever shows up. Straight, Gay, young, old weird or cool everyone hangs out here! No food besides chips. Its a block away from Little Caesar's Arena and across the street from The Masonic Temple (hence the name) so its perfect for a pre or post show round or two. Tell George and Larry that Perry's review sent you!“

“Orange Peel Theory is hands-down one of the best summer drinks I’ve ever had. The blend of Holiday Spirit Epsilon Tequila with coconut, orange, and citrus is insanely smooth, refreshing, and just the right balance of tropical and tangy. It’s like a beach vacation in a glass. I’d serve this at every campsite, tailgate, and backyard hang if I could—absolute 10/10!“

“The food is delicious and the service is fantastic! My only complaint is how loud the place has become. Not too long ago, it was more of a restaurant than a bar. Lately, however, it has become more like a noisy college bar than a restaurant. I still plan on coming here once in a while.“

“Pretty, pretty, pretty…pretty good. 🫶🏼“

“Innovative and well-crafted mixed drinks, warm atmosphere (feels like home), hardy laughs, and good times. Extensive and premier spirits/wine list. Love the choice of side dishes; they make a great paring. You couldn’t go wrong making a trip here!!“

“Great service ………………..“

“Las Chance has quick become a staple of corktown. Awesome neighborhood bar with karaoke Saturday nights with cheap drink specials like your dad always remembered going to a Tigers game back in the 80s. Absolutely love this spot! I'll be back!“

“A fukkin fantastic bar with a great staff. I LOVE the classic movies playing constantly and only wish you had more t-shirts available. Anytime I'm in Detroit I find a reason to stop by.“

“Amazing venue for live music, or just for hanging out and having a beer. Possibly the best spot in Windsor for either. Try the poutine!!“

“Been there two times now. Perfect neighborhood bar for folks in Brush Park. Food was very good and service was excellent. My wife and I are “Summer birds” . We reside in Arizona and reside in Brush Park when weather is good so it’s a perfect neighborhood place for a nightcap.“

“We’ve lived downtown for a few years and have never made it to this place. Wow. Our loss. This is an amazing bar with the most fabulous unique drinks and the most knowledgeable friendly bartenders. My husband and I had an amazing evening! Can’t wait to go back!“

“My Sister & Brother-In-Law hosted my Godson's Baptismal Luncheon at The Polka Dot. IT WAS PERFECT! The food was AMAZING. The kids loved the Original Nintendo System. The adults loved gathering around the bar. This venue will definitely be considered for all future family events.“

“If you love history, this place will not disappoint. Awesome views from the rooftop and the fireplace on a cold evening was the perfect place to have a cocktail. Make a reservation! Must visit if out with friends and you want a cool location to hang!!!“

“Had an amazing night here with friends! Great choices of cocktails and super knowledgeable/friendly staff! Shout out to Stefano for taking care of us last night! He was not only a great server but had so much knowledge. Cant wait to come back when I visit Windsor ☺️ highly recommend this place!“

“The crowd is nice on Thursday- Sundays , security plenty of parking and nice birthday party events. The drinks are reasonable and the waitresses be on their job. Like a cheers atmosphere you wanna go where everyone knows your name. Ms Krystal is sweet and loving and people be dressed to impress there. TV's seating 💺 ♥️ people call it a "hole in the wall" but those same people be in attendance "lol They come from all over the city to this place you must get there early on Sunday nights cause DJ Tony Rome be on hot blazing 🔥 fire. Dance, entertainment etc. Everytime my out of town guest / sweetheart comes to visit Detroit she has to come there before she leaves its a must.“

“Phenomenal bourbon selection“

“Beer selection is great - Much wider and deeper on the European choices (Belgians/Germans) than anywhere else I've seen locally and this is primarily what keeps us coming back, but the old-style wood room and the laid back atmosphere are great too. You could say divey or hipster, but also all-inclusive. Usually good more-modern indie music playlist which is appreciated. Chris was a great bartender but I think he's unfortunately moved on, will be missed. Spacious covered patio out back is good for smokers & has some fun games (cornhole, connect4, etc). Beware - the Peanuts are addictive!“
