14 Best Pubs near Independence

“Clarkston location, lunch 2/14/24. Decent craft beer selection, for our IPA tastes. The Smokehouse fries were probably the best "loaded fries" I've ever had. We also had a great burger and fish n chips, no complaints. Server Brooke was incredible--we'll ask for her next time. Lots of TV's. We'll be back!“

“This is a good old-fashioned local bar with food. It's always busy, so seating may be a wait on a weekend or any evening. Everyone in the area knows of this place. It's basically sandwiches and hamburgers, but the have other stuff. You just need to be in the mood for this type of place!“

“The Tap burger sliders are fire! This bar has come along way from when they first opened. Always improving, always hiring quality help, always a good time.Kid-friendliness: This place caters to kids but it is still definitely a bar. No language restrictions or kids meal specials. I brought my 8 and 6 year olds and they always ask when we're going back.Ha!“

“I had given a raving review to this place until tonight when Miranda started handling things. Our food was cold, cold, cold, and Miranda tried to turn the tables as if it were our fault. Shocking a bit, but her terse defensive manner was the first red flag that she sucked at her job once she was told about the awful experience we had. She was hateful and rude and made excuses and blamed us for their short comings in the kitchen.Did you know that at Billy's Tip-n- Inn YOU'RE expected to make sure everything is okay before you leave? That's what she said. E.g. We should, as patrons, do they're job and make sure things are thoroughly cooked. ?They lost two regular customers.“

“This was my first visit and will not be my last! I live 2 miles away and pass by often and finally stopped in! The owners Mike and Tracy are so friendly and FUN!The burger was great and made to my temperature.(medium rare). Sliders available too!I heard fish is the thing and will order next time!Good variety of beer and liquor and overall just a great neighborhood vibe.As noted, they close early, but if you know before you go it shouldn’t be an issue!I’ll be BACk!!“

“The cold Irish beer on tap. The laughter, smiles, and welcoming atmosphere makes this place one of my favorite local haunts.I'm big fan on Smithwicks on tap and Sullivans always has a good supply.The authentic Irish food is also a big draw for me.Whether it's the bangers and mash with the creamy smooth mash potatoes, the shepards pie, true irish bacon and cabbage. or even a burger, the food never disappoints.You'll always feel welcome at Sullivans.“

“Had my son’s 11th birthday party here. The staff was amazing. Our waitress Jasmine did such a great job. Place was clean and food good. Kids had a blast.Ximena helped with the booking and was so quick with emails and answers. Will book here again!“

“This is a bar and grill with great atmosphere and even better food. It gives off dive bar vibes and obviously has its regulars. The food though I have been twice with groups of 4 all getting different items and everyone raves about their choice. The steak tips are perfect with the honeymustard and the bowl of chili has just the right spice. Definitely coming back.“

“This has been my primary go-to for approaching 11yrs . The atmosphere is the perfect “everyone knows your name”, also I must say if you fancy bar style food , this is the place to go. They are known for their burgers and Ruben’s , DJ on the weekends and all other days is your average come on in and have a seat!“

“Amazing experience seeing Darude for 4/20. Intimate club but feels deluxe. Reasonably priced drinks although unfortunately no ready-to-drinks besides white claw and mixed drinks are on the smaller side, although expertly mixed by a professional bar staff. Ordered a vodka transfusion and he knocked it out of the park, was probably one shot about 6-8oz of fluid total and generous on ice but delicious and made with Titos for only 12 dollars ?‍♂️Would definitely visit again!Also needs quieter bathroom option lol they blast music in there which for some people im sure is relaxing but for me it makes it hard to even pee“

“We were given a gift certificate for my husband's birthday. When I told the waitress that this was our first time and his birthday, she wished him a happy birthday and took our order. She must have overheard us talking about how they had deep fried trees, my husband's favorite. At the end of our dinner, she brought over a small bowl of ice cream with a deep fried oreo. He was a happy man. Thank you, Johnny Blacks.“

“What a great evening. I got to catch up with a friend I haven’t seen in a year and decided to come here because I wanted to go somewhere I haven’t been before. I’m glad I made that decision. Mary was our server, and let me tell you, she is absolutely fantastic! Good customer service is so hard to come by these days, so it was a real treat to have someone so kind, energetic and dedicated to her job waiting on us. I also went with her recommendations on the food and she did not steer me wrong. Thank you Mary for making my evening .I had the Black and Blue burger and onion rings, and split some barbecue boneless wings. Everything was delicious and the burger was cooked to perfection. I will definitely return.“

“We met friends for Wednesday's half off burgers at 24th Street Sport Tavern, in the historic district of Oxford, MI. It was a well maintained older building, with a unique atmosphere!! I didn't think I could eat the entire half pound "Tavern Burger" but it was SO Good that I couldn't help myself!! The server was pleasant & attentive, keeping us supplied with everything requested! We had a great time with wonderful friends & an amazing casual meal! We'll be back!!“

“A neighborhood pub in every positive sense. A small intimate atmosphere that provides great service, excellent food and more often than not live music. Truly a must-go destination if you are in the Ortonville, Michigan area. And if you are in the area on one of the Saturday mornings, they are serving breakfast, the special burrito is a must-have.“
