The food menu leans into reliable favorites, and they execute them well. If you’re looking for a place that delivers consistency, solid pours, and a welcoming vibe, this is it.“

“Such a great time, every time. Charlie is a great guy who really knows how to make dining/drinking enjoyable. Highly recommend“

“Really liked the food BUT now that the pizza and calzones have been taken off the menu I doubt that my family of 6 will be eating there as often as before (8 visits in the past year). The removed items were really, really good. Sorry to see them gone.“

“Great food, friendly staff.“

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

“Lamb and Osso Bucco were so good, homemade rolls were amazing pillows of goodness and ordered the bread pudding to go but smells amazing“

“I hadn't been here in a few years but wanted some great pizza for my birthday and of course Mootz didn't disappoint! We got Beast of Burden and Bee Sting and both were delicious. The meatballs are my favorite thing on the menu. Our server, Nyla, was phenomenal - so sweet and kind and happy, and gave us great recommendations.“

“If you are reading reviews for Two Way Inn you know what you are looking for and this is it. Exactly as its reputation suggests - a local, family run pub with cheap drinks, friendly service and tons of character & history. Apparently they have some homemade (literally) food 1 or 2 days a week that sounded like a great bargain. During my visit a local came in with some fresh pies and I was offered a slice. A must visit for sure.“

“We love HenriettaHaus!!! A perfect spot for a fabulous cocktail or a great beer! The pizza is always soo good and they have killer salads. On top of being a great hang for dinner they were gracious enough to donate to a fundraiser a group of mine was hosting at planet ant a few summers ago, which means they’re great generous people too!!! Cheers!!!“

“Had a work event here and I celebrated my birthday this past weekend love the vibes. Enjoy the fact that you can hang out inside or hang out outside but still enjoy the music. That drinks are not super expensive. Parking isn’t too hard to find in the area quick easy spot to access other bars.“

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

“The service was great as was the food. They are so polite. More than willing to answer questions. They greet everyone that walks in. 10/10 would definitely recommend.“

“Phenomenal bourbon selection“

“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.“

“the bartender was excellent as was the atmosphere!“

“A group of us made the quick walk over to Townhouse from the convention center. We were given the option to sit right away or wait a few minutes for a table to be cleared in the atrium. So glad we chose to wait. The atrium is beautiful! Our server, Diego, was fantastic and all his recommendations were hits at the table! He also was diligent about checking with the kitchen to ensure those in our parties with allergies/sensitivities were good with their food choices.“

“Good service with Amanda Very nice and absolutely stunning super hot“

“Me and my friends arrived around 10pm. The rooftop bar is so beautiful and worth the wait! We did not order any food but the view is top notch and our server, Mariah, was one of a kind!!! Her outgoing personality and attentive service skills were enough to make anyone want to come back. Thankyou for a memorable night 💗“

“We had the loveliest dining experience here. The spiced beef pizza, the focaccia, and the steak tartare were phenomenal. The Sun God No 2 drink will be in my dreams. Our server was so sweet and attentive. We cannot wait to come back!! (and order the exact same thing)“

“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.“

“Pleasant staff and great venue for live music.“

“Best jam space, great staff, dope spot“

“Great atmosphere and yummy food!“

“I had an incredible dining experience at Highlands Detroit, and it was one of the highlights of my trip. The restaurant offers breathtaking views of the Detroit skyline, which made the evening even more memorable. I ordered a steak along with a seasonal side, and everything was cooked perfectly. The flavors were outstanding, the presentation was elegant, and the quality of the ingredients really stood out.

The service was just as impressive. The staff was professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making sure every detail of the meal was taken care of without feeling rushed.

My tip is to make a reservation in advance and request a window table if possible. Arriving a little before sunset is well worth it so you can enjoy both the daytime views and the city lights after dark.

Thank you to the entire team at Highlands Detroit for the exceptional food, outstanding service, and unforgettable atmosphere. I truly enjoyed my visit and will definitely be back the next time I'm in Detroit.“

“There's a thing about eastern market. It's alive during the day during market hours and then, it gets quiet. Pocket change was exactly what we were looking for to keep the vibes going! Just on the outskirts of downtown in eastern market. This little high end dive bar keeps dancing. Weekend DJ's and one of the only rooftop bars in the area. The incredible ambiance on the second floor feels like a hidden oasis of what seems to be the biggest spin and twirl of eastern market. I went with a few friends to celebrate a birthday to only feel like we were dancing the night away with the locals of the community. Great cocktails, incredible bar staff.. just ask for a spagett, and you'll feel like one of the locals!

They throw pop ups with surrounding vendors and if you need a late night snack the down stairs has some inedible tasty bites.“

“We got carry out, and it was fantastic“

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

“Visited Bar Rotunda for lunch and was incredibly happy with the experience. The bartender provided excellent, attentive service from start to finish. For food, I had the ham and Brie sandwich—simple, fresh, and absolutely delicious. To top it off, the espresso martini did not disappoint. Highly recommend stopping by!“

“I love the happy hour here! I'm usually ordering their sweet and spicy chicken wings, yaki soba, maybe a sushi dog or hot dog, and a pitcher or two of Asahi lager and maybe some Sake High! This is a bar, but with small plates, so an Izakaya, not high-end. The atmosphere is appropriate: dim lighting, modern Japanese decor, and a 90s-00s era hip hop soundtrack. A lot of people come in for a drink or two before going downstairs to Hiroki-San, and maybe one day I'll do the same, but I'm not in a rush.“

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

“Went for the Yuengling party which was a great way to welcome a classic American beer to Michigan. We were very excited to see Monk's Cafe on the beer list. So many options here for everyone. The James O'Donnell Band was great too!“

“Come for the rooftop, stay for the food!

Tried Cannons for the first time during their opening weekend. We loved the cozy pub decor and penny top bar, dining options (oysters + prosecco? Say less), and most importantly: the rooftop patio. It was the perfect day to enjoy a cocktail outside.

The only downside of our visit: the music on the first floor was slow, quiet dentist office like instrumentals which definitely detracted from the overall feel of the place. I could hear everyone else’s conversations and it added an almost somber element to an otherwise lovely space. Hoping for something more convivial on our next visit!“

“First time here and the shrimp basket was great!! Emilia was such a delight! Super friendly!“

“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.“

“Awesome server Sherri & Bob Shaw makes an amazing calazone, "divine pockets" perfect size! 2 for $18 Bux!“

“Friendly atmosphere superb service and delicious food!“

“I stopped in for the 1rst time Superbowl Sunday & enjoyed a fried turkey chop dinner w brussel sprouts & fries. Surprisingly delicious., I'll b back for 2nds soon. The staff was great w good positive energy & the music & sound system was bumping. Definitely good times happening on the Eastside of Detroit.“

“great place for anybody goth, punk, or otherwise "weird"“

“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!!“

“This is a fun little bar on the far southeast side of the city! It's a great place to catch some live music and pub grub! There is a stage set up for bands and a kick-ass sound system! Very cool vibes going on there!“

“Bodega is such a neighborhood gem!! The service is amazing and all the bartenders are so friendly and welcoming. Very attentive to all guests, and you can tell they are having fun while they’re at it. Great spot to bring a group a friends/family, grab a drink after a long day or before a sporting event. Best location - right by all the stadiums. The seasonal cocktail menus are great, and they have the best espresso martini in town. Keep it up bodega!!“

“Had a great experience! Good food good vibes!“

“I was a first timer. I live 58 minutes outside of the city. I walked in and was skeptical on the entire place. Full of random pictures of musicians. So I Looked up what the place was about after we got in.. And boy Howdy, what a history on the place. From walking in and greeted by Charles, the Bouncer/host/busier, amazing person, was a rock star! To then asking if Larry the owner was there; and HE WAS!!! They make you feel as family! I would support them 150% in the inner city, everyone there is something special. I’d love to talk with Charles more, and Larry; WOW! What a cool guy! I just love it. I’ll be back for sure! 10/5 stars for them!“

“Great bar great food plus karaoke 🎤“

“I ONLY go there on Fridays and Saturdays for Karaoke. And some Pool & Drinks. There is a nice size area for sitting and they have 3 pool tables and like 4 or 5 Dart Boards. Table sitting, Bar Sitting, and TVs all over with Various Sports on“

“Such a fun spot and you can sit outside and watch Woodward right downtown, pretty rare, and wander around Parker's Alley afterward. The drinks are delicious, never had the food. The staff are all kind, and I've never been there without having conversation with a stranger. Love this place“

“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!“
