50 Best Cocktail Bars near Grosse Pointe

“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.“

“Had the opportunity to eat at sidecar slider bar last night for the first time on the hole. It was good experience, although I found it rather pricey for me the creativity of the sliders was really a welcome change from the typical burgers and sandwiches that you get around Grosse Pointe, however for $14 a slider, I would expect to get a freshly cooked ground beef patty and instead what I got was apparently precooked patties that maybe were kept warm in a serving tray or something and then just dressed with other fresh ingredients before their served. I would say that was my major disappointment with the sliders. For $14 I would expect to have a fresh piece of ground beef that was cooked to order, and then dressed up with the fantastic toppings and sauces that they have envisioned. Big disappointment that they don’t cook the burgers to order especially when they’re called a slider bar. One of the sliders I got was the fried chicken and it wasn’t even a fresh piece of chicken that was freshly breaded or dipped in a batter and deep-fried, and then put on the bun with some Fresh pickles, and so it seemed to me like it was a premade patty of some kind and it just was a major disappointment. So my recommendation for this place would be if you wanna call yourself a slider bar then the sliders should be fresh and cook to order and not made with Convenience over quality“

“Attended and helped plan my good friends wedding and I have to say the team at Charlevoix did such an amazing job! They executed 120 person event flawless with offerings of signature cocktails, delicious and unique food a cool environment but most of all attentive 5* service from all the staff and kitchen team that made a wonderful and memorable event. I highly recommend this as your next go to destination for a dining out experience. Cheers !!!“

“It was quiet when we went on Friday evening, but everyone was nice. They were sadly out of the one food we really wanted to try, but The Goat cocktail made up for it. I'm always happy to try something a little more unique that ends up tasting just as good and better than widely-loved classics. I'd definitely go back to have it again.“

“We walked in to the Buhl Bar and where greeted by George and Aish they where both so friendly and so full of information. We provided our preferences in taste and allowed George to select and make our cocktails. He nailed our tastes and delivered the best cocktails we have had. This place has such a great art deco vide the service was second to none and the drinks amazing. Thank you George and Aish it was a pleasure to have meet you both.“

“Great place to relax with friends <3“

“This place was amazing! The cocktails and ambiance was so cool!“

“Attened a private wedding reception on Thursday night. It was absolutely an ideal place with ambiance, classy servers and the food was awesome. It was served with wine paring. We also enjoyed dancing into the late night. Perfect! K.Adam Events coordinated the event with Bar Pigalle and it could not have been more enjoyable. Highly recommendable.“

“Such a great experience! Waitress was kind and friendly food was fresh and delicious! Can not wait to come back !! Thank you for a great experience“

“It was our first time in this place and Ibrahim made our experience so great!! He guided us on the menu and had amazing mixology skills. Will be coming back!“

“Awesome spot! Food is great, service is superb, and cozy atmosphere (nice and tucked away). It’s a must come back kinda place TD approved! Travelin D’Vas“

“Wonderful Coffee! The hand made syrups were probably the best I ever had. I tried two lattes, one with vanilla lavender and the other with honey cinnamon and they were great! I recommend both of them with oatmilk. The owner was super friendly with my party and I and we had a very nice conversation with her while she made our lattes. Down Under is only FOUR minutes away from the TCF, walking. There is NO reason to ever get Starbucks again while I am in Detroit for Youmacon. A definite must for all the con goers to give them a try!“

“This place should have a 6th star.

- Drinks: On point.
- Absinthe experience: Waitstaff is very knowledgeable and it’s fun to watch. It’s STRONG and herby.
- Decor: Almost everything was custom build or original historical pieces.

Overall, this place is super comfortable and is the definition of a clean, classy pub/bar. It’s full of creativity and personality.

If you want history, the waitstaff can walk you through the renovations and history of the building going back to when it became the iconic Jacoby’s in 1904 and further to when it used to be a blacksmith shop and being originally built in the 1800’s.

If you’re ever seeking a quality bar, go here.“

“The food and service from waitstaff is good. However, the restaurant’s policy on carry out orders is absurd and not customer friendly. After calling to place a carry out order I was advised they don’t accept them. I then asked if they would accept an order if I paid in advance over the phone. Again, I was told that I need to come in and place an order at the bar. This is inconvenient. I had to wait about 20 minutes. Management should reconsider this policy.“

“Ate in the lounge and had fantastic service. Lovely wood smoke smell in the place. Tried 4 different red wine between my wife and I, all terrific. The small plates we tried were all excellent. My favorite was the whipped salted cod and my wife loved the maitake mushrooms. The mains were also great, the halibut was our favorite. The sherry for dessert was great.

Overall, a surprisingly good meal with fun and knowledgeable wait staff. Best meal I e had had in a good while.“

“As someone who had dined out at least once a week for many years, it is always good to "come home" to the Caucus Club. The food is always exceptionally good. On this visit I had the French onion soup, lamb chops, and fries. The portions were generous and the food exquisitely delectable. Of course, the friendly and efficient service by "barman" Chris was - as it always is - the highlight of the visit.“

“My friend and I had lunch at Coriander Kitchen and Farm yesterday 6/23. We came back because we enjoyed our first visit last year so much! However, at this visit the food was not so good. I ordered fish and chips and my fish was overcooked and the french fries were not hot. My friend ordered smelt which were awful and greasy which we sent back. We asked for lemon which never came to the table and our waiter seem to be the only one there and they were busy so I don't think we got the attention that we were due. I know this establishment can do better, so I will be going back. But yesterday's service and food were awful.“

“Friendly service, great cocktails and pizza!“

“My friend took me to evening bar for the first time last night and it was a beautiful bar. Modern art deco decor and wonderful cocktails. Shiva was amazing. I had to decide between two cocktails and she described them both in detail that helped me make my decision. I decided on one and it was perfectly up my alley and just as she described. She was so friendly, quick, and attentive even with quite a few guests she was helping. 10/10 will definitely be back. Cocktails were perfectly balanced and had distinct flavors and profiles“

“If you’re looking for a culinary experience in Detroit, Midnight Temple is the place to be! From the moment you walk in, the vibrant ambiance sets the tone for a magical evening. Loved the traditional Indian elements, creating an atmosphere that’s both warm and lively.

The food? Absolutely divine! The tikka masala, dhal makhani and biryani are a must try. Don’t skip the garlic naan, it’s the perfect complement to every bite.

Looking forward to coming back and trying more things from the menu :)“
