Burger is great. Service was poor and slow. To top it off, added a 20% automatic gratuity to the bill for our massive party of 4.

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.

What a great place! I love coming here with friends. Martinis are wonderful along with all other drinks! Bartenders Rachel, Bobbie, and Justin are awesome and very attentive. This is always my go to place!
I had an amazing experience at the Old Pony! Rachel and Bobbie are truly exceptional bartenders. Not only did they craft some of the best cocktails I’ve had in a while, but they also made the atmosphere warm and welcoming. They go above and beyond to make everyone feel at home, and their knowledge of drinks is impressive. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great vibes, amazing drinks, food, and top-notch service. Thanks, Rachel and Bobbie, for a fantastic evening!

Great prices & specials. Burger is simple, greasy, and cheap. Highly recommend getting only the single, the double is too much on the meat:toppings ratio.

Umm. If you’re going to bill yourself as a “Martini” joint please learn how to make a proper lemon twist.
I ordered an old school gin Martini very dry with lemon twist. Although the bartender got “very dry” spot on, was served with a lemon rind—terrible.
Then upon using the restroom my half full drink was take off the table. Was offered a “half” replacement by my server and this one actually came with a full slice of lemon—umm it’s a gin martini not lemonade.
When my date complained (i usually refrain from public comment on bad service), the bartender actually came out and debated me on which Grosse Pointe am I a resident. And then told me”this is s dive bar”
To the owner: I am a world traveler, international businessman, I have the best martinis in the world made by master craftsmen in London. If you are going to bill yourself as a “martini” establishment you need staff who understand the drink. And debating customers over where they live? That’s ridiculous. BTW I’m a GPW resident and just moved from the East Coast.

The “go to” place for burgers and fries on the East side. Buffalo wings are spot-on too. Decent selection of draft beers. I’m not a specialty or “ladies” martini fan, so I wouldn’t know about those.
It’s a little bit Goth inside….dark walls, tattooed employees, faint whiff of spoiled beer. Kind of like a college dive bar.

The Old Pony is the BEST spot in Grosse Pointe! Hell, in Michigan! Hell, in the world! Rachel, Justin, and Patty make this place what it is. The service is impeccable and every time I come here I feel like I’m on an episode of Cheers. I come in with 99 problems and leave with none. The pickle fries are also unmatched. I flew home this weekend from Atlanta and this was my first stop. If you’re looking for a good meal and delicious drink, look no further. This place and these people are the best in the business!
Wheelchair accessibility: Super easy to access on wheels! I had foot surgery this summer and had no issues.
