50 Best Bars near Madison Heights

“I love this place. Their tacos are absolutely delicious. Queso and chips and their wings were really good as well. this is my go to place when I need tacos though.“

“My boyfriend and I came in here and this is definitely a hidden gem, a cozy place you can get a drink and not have to yell to have a conversation or place an order. The manager Marty is so nice and made us feel at home. Definitely coming back!“

“Food was good and service was acceptable (nothing special) but you had a group of 5 guys leave your restaurant last night somewhat bewildered after your waitress Katarina made it quite clear she was not happy with the 20% tip we gave her. Apparently, our stay of about 3 hours eating and drinking was excessive. We may not be back.“

“Went here for about three hours on my first visit to Detroit with my fiancé. She grew up on this place. I have traveled the world and believe this is the best pizza I have ever had. Also, their sandwiches are incredible Ashleigh the bartender was so cool and fun to interact with as were the rest of the patrons that were there.

Can’t wait to visit again. Will be a “must” meal next time I am in Detroit.“

“My friends and I love coming here! We’ve made it the spot we visit regularly! Great food, fantastic staff and a welcoming atmosphere all around!“

“Pretty good food and I enjoyed the atmosphere. Our server was a spectacular. Unfortunately the bar service was slow so our server had to apologize 2 or 3 times for not delivering our cocktails earlier. They took quite a while. My margarita was too tart for my liking but my hubby enjoyed his (some spin on an old fashioned)

It seems the menu selections are not really for your average Mexican cuisine diner. A bit pricey for no reason at all. I probably wouldn't come here again by choice but if someone else invited me, I'd return.

My husband got the half chicken and I got the steak, both were pretty good and came with veggies and house made corn tortillas which were great for making little tacos. Use the accompanying salsas on the menu, they boost the flavor of the entrees. Parking around this place is not the easiest.“

“Hi. My wife and I recently visited Stadt Garten in Detroit and had a fantastic experience thanks in large part to Diego. He is the buyer and was working behind and he deserves recognition for being knowledgeable, friendly, and super helpful.

From the moment I walked in, Diego made us feel welcome. He clearly knows the beer, cider, and wine selection inside‐out. I asked a few questions about what’s available, and he guided me through options with enthusiasm and patience, and never making me feel rushed.

His service was top‐notch: attentive, always ready to offer suggestions, and quick with drinks. The vibe at Stadt Garten is cozy yet lively, and having someone like Diego really enhances it. He adds personality and warmth.

If you’re headed to Stadt Garten, make sure to say hi to Diego. Whether you’re a beer, cider, or wine lover, he’ll get you set up with something great. Can’t recommend enough!“

“My go to venue for local shows!“

“Staff is excellent! Awesome live venue.“

“Orange Peel Theory is hands-down one of the best summer drinks I’ve ever had. The blend of Holiday Spirit Epsilon Tequila with coconut, orange, and citrus is insanely smooth, refreshing, and just the right balance of tropical and tangy. It’s like a beach vacation in a glass. I’d serve this at every campsite, tailgate, and backyard hang if I could—absolute 10/10!“

“Kelly's Bar has done it, reached the top tier, Smashing records with burgers that bring cheer. Double patties nestled in sesame embrace, Cheese, lettuce, onions, and sauce, a taste chase. Rex Packing's meat, a blend that's divine, Crafted with care, a true foodie's sign. Susan's verdict? The burger's a hit, But wait, there's more, a wings summit! Moist, crispy wings, a flavor affair, Cajun rub and Buffalo, a spicy pair. Lemon pepper adds its zesty grace, A feast for taste buds in every case. Broccoli cheddar bites, a friend's delight, Adding depth to this culinary flight. Corned beef egg rolls, a twist so fine, Crunchy, dainty shells, a unique design. Kelly's Bar, a haven of taste and glee, Where flavors dance and spirits roam free. A culinary journey, an epicurean play, Where every dish shines in its own way.“

“We had such a great time here! The Bartender, Bao, was very friendly and personable! We enjoyed his company and his recommendations! My girlfriend and I split the short rib grilled cheese with au jus, and it was so damn good! Thanks for being great!“

“Hazel’s is one of those no-brainer places you hit with friends or family when you’re looking for something casual. Some dishes are better than others but overall the seafood is fresh and tasty. The servers have all been very tentative and nice over the years which makes for a positive experience. This is definitely a place I will continue to patron and recommend.“

Be sure to ask August for a shot of Fernet and he'll tell you "It's like 1000 fairies dancing on your tongue!".“

“Great food options for a smallish bar. There is a chef there during week (Tues-Fri?) who offers handwritten menu of specials. We had the baked meatballs (delicious) and the Cajun shrimp scampi (added more heat). One of our favorite places for smaller group dinners!“

“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 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.“

“Meantime offers a bespoken experience for the serious beer aficionado & creative cocktails while still having a cheap coors on deck for the casual. A Sleek n Simple design on historic bones with everything from barstools to my favorite seat- the plush couch in the living room area beside the huge glass panels that open up allowing in city energy & air. A stone's throw from LCA for a drink b4 the puck drops or music events. Parking can be daunting during special events but there's decent access to metered street parking(get the app) n parking lots around. Lots of regulars stop in & also great for couples & 1st dates. Best for last!! Meantime had a big beer mug to fill in replacing the former 8° plato beerstore; Meantime delivered chill and elevated. A kicka$$ crew, offers 2 Rotating hand pulled beers(MUST TRY) big ABV stouts(my 🍺🖤) amongst the best from MI to Germany, food pop-ups, big TV to watch games and cool merch. Flowers throughout. May Meantime go for a Longg Time ✌️“

We had a great time! This is definitely a place we’d visit again! There is no food besides some chips!“

“The staff is awesome! loved the beer and the Tuesday special pork tacos!“

“I was in Detroit for a business trip, and looking for a place to relax en femme (my thing). Other CDs advised me to go to Adam's Apple. For a gurl, it is the best place EVER! I was there two nights, and could not believe the number of gurls there, men also (not enough or too shy to my taste, but that is another story). You go to such bars for the people, not the place, and it checked all the boxes!“

“I really enjoyed my 3 vegan tacos. They have about 5 taco options plus vegan nachos and a couple other dishes. Vegan options didn’t feel like an afterthought which I usually encounter in restaurants. Great service. Look forward to going back. Updated from previous review on 2025-08-24“

“Bodega in Detroit is such a gem! The drinks were spot-on—creative, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The atmosphere had that perfect mix of energy and charm, making it a fun spot to hang out without feeling overwhelming. The staff couldn’t have been friendlier—welcoming from the moment we walked in and genuinely attentive throughout the night. I also loved the cute market inside—it adds a unique, cozy touch you don’t see everywhere. Can’t wait to come back!“
