This place checks all the boxes of a good time. Katie, the bartender, was very nice and accommodating. Great music. Check out the cool stickers

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!".
This hidden gem was the icing on our cake! First visit to Detroit as Canadians, and stateside since Covid and boy it was a perfect area for us to pick for our one night stay! Mike our bartender was the best and we had the pleasure of meeting the owner and her fiance who helped us out in a jam. (Thank you again for the ride!) While it's home to a great bunch of locals, they sure made us feel extremely welcomed! Cheers folks, we will be back!

Whiskey in the Jar is a local dive bar that is a must visit especially on Paczki Day. Great crowd, excellent vibes, next level bands playing from early in the day. Do yourself a favor and pop in! 5/5 ? ??

We kicked off our annual Fat Tuesday celebration at Whiskey in a Jar. We usually start off at the New Doge and enjoy the Polish Muslims but they weren't playing there this year. Instead we got to enjoy The Kielbasa Kings! What a fun time!! I was super excited because we haven't been able to enjoy this celebration since pre-covid! But we are baaaaaaccckkk! As usual, we arrived early in the morning. And were one of the first there. We kicked it off with Polish beer and some shots. One of the guys that played in the band went to my highschool and his sister and I know each other so that was a fun surprise! They had a huge tent set up where the band was playing. They made both bathrooms female and brought in a porta potty for the guys. The removed all the furniture so it was standing room only. We got our polka on and had a great time! Great start to the day!!
