“I just spent a week drinking through some of the best cocktail bars in Tel Aviv and was reminded how none of them come even close to the amazing cocktails that the Kevin, Kyle, and the rest of the Castalia team come up with! Each visit to Castalia, be it your first or one thousandth, is magical and wonderful!“

The added touches of Spells, Tarot and Gumball Machine Treasures are clever. My milestone birthday was made wonderful by this establishment. Excited to return. ✨️“

“I almost don’t wanna tell the world about another Clawson MI gem, but this place is 🔥🔥. The ambiance, the flavors, the music, the service—all amazing. But don’t tell anyone 🤫🤐😎“

“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!“

“Great place to relax with friends <3“

“The perfect atmosphere for networking, live band, and socializing. I attend weekly and the people are amazing! 💕❤💕“

“I always love the laid back atmosphere here. Gives you feelings of nostalgia. This use to be one of Detroits jumping spots back in the day. It is still nice to visit and see the old dance floor, pool table and beautiful bar maid. People are friendly, you can go against some really good pool players, and if you like dancing come through. One minor draw back, they don't take debit or credit cards. Lol“

“Great place! Paul made us some of his delicious cocktails, and the meatballs were on point. Very creative menu.“

“Good atmosphere, great food and awesome bartenders“

“We are vegetarian and tried most of the veg options on the menu. We loved the gnocchi and petite salad. We also tried the potatoes and sweet potatoes which were both good. The bread and butter were yummy. Mocktails were ok but not my favorite. Service was spot on. Highly recommend.“

“Great people and good fun until new management now the drinks are overpriced for the environment they have done absolutely nothing in 20 years to the establishment not even update the televisions but the price jumped two or three dollars on the drinks miss me with it I'll have to find a new watering hole“

“Luv you guys. These Oakland drinks are better than drinks we used to get at a place in downtown utica. Yes we drive extra to get out to you but worth it. Pink Matter and Hoover are goto but we have loved every drink here. Yes we sit in the chairs with sunglasses on and pretend we are in the matrix. And yes we contemplate our very existence within The Oakland.“

“The food was surprisingly good. There wasn't much to the menu, but what was there was good. I had the truffle fries, wings, and spicy shrimp. The waiter was all over the place and rarely checked in on us. It was very discouraging. I would return though, but just for drinks.“

“Great vibes, great coffee and tasty food. What a great place!!!“

““Undiscovered” gem in a growing area of the city! Open kitchen / hearth area provide ambience with bar seating directly adjacent it. Menu is relatively small but packed with a variety of small appetizers through entrees that are well prepared, visually appealing with excellent flavor. Greatest of all was the service provided - attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. Jade, our attendant, was a pleasure to engage during our meal. Will be a repeat customer!!!“

“Every time my wife and I eat here at this church of deliciousness, we leave with happy souls. It is as if God himself has blessed the cheeses and toppings and ovens with his own hands and holy prayer. The arugula salad with the lemon vinaigrette is an angelic beginner. The roasted carrots are themselves a divinity worthy of devout worship. The Bagley Chorizo is a canonical revelation deserving of kneeling at the altar of.

To not enjoy this place or to speak ill of it is to surely reserve yourself a spot in the depths of Hell. To not receive the baptism of their sauces or dressings is to walk forever in the darkness in the shadow of sin and doubt. God clearly loves Michigan & Trumbull.

Wu-Tang Forever.“

“We had a party of 14 and our server Danika was so gracious with everyone’s extra requests and movement around the restaurant. Thank you for accommodating our group. The food, atmosphere and service was very good and I would recommend and also return. Thank you to the staff, hostess and our server Danika.“

“Participated in a grad party given here by a relative. Great food, great service! Staff was very accommodating, and went out of their way to make things perfect! Atmosphere was perfect for an afternoon outdoor party! Would definitely recommend!“

“We love HenriettaHaus!!! A perfect spot for a fabulous cocktail or a great beer! The pizza is always soo good and they have killer salads. On top of being a great hang for dinner they were gracious enough to donate to a fundraiser a group of mine was hosting at planet ant a few summers ago, which means they’re great generous people too!!! Cheers!!!“

“Great coffee, nice merchandise, awesome seating area inside and out! Loved it! Highly recommend!“

“Great bar and very friendly people here. The neighborhood is such a great place!“

“I have gone to the Whitney every year for Christmas dinner. It was annual holidays to celebrate with my nieces. Last Christmas holiday we chose to take the buffet. I was extremely disappointed. All I wanted was prime rib. The server was not very friendly. She stared at me and I was very uncomfortable when I asked for the prime rib only. There was just a small end piece and she gave me a very thin slice close resembling lunch meat. I don’t understand since I paid for a complete meal and it wasn’t cheap. I could’ve gone somewhere else and had a wonderful prime rib dinner. The au jous was not warm, so that was very disappointing. I will never do the buffet again if it’s like last year. In previous years, I’ve attended the buffet and it was outstanding.“

“Another hidden gem, in the heart of Hazel Park! Trully amazing experience! Food, drinks, service and atmosphere are top notch! Special compliments to Gabi&Gabi for being wonderful hosts!“

“Barrel House has become our go-to place to hang out and eat. Their food is delicious, the drinks are great, and the staff are all amazing!“

“Bday dinner party, I had the fried chicken, greens, amd mac/cheese.“

“Been here a few times and it is one of my favorite places to visit in Detroit. The drinks and food rotate and every time I go I find a new favorite!“

“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!“

“Great food, service and management.“

“Best mixed drinks I’ve ever had!! Love the atmosphere and the owners are so welcoming and friendly.“

“Great service ………………..“

“If you are looking for a chill vibe with excellent drinks, come to Traverse City Whiskey Outpost in Ferndale! The manager, Dave is the best - he's friendly, attentive, and a true mixologist! I love it here :)“

“Service was great. Nice little restaurant. It was a bit too hot out to enjoy the patio. But would Definitely be worth a trip during the summer.

Ordered the bake cheese dip to start. Really enjoyed it. Goes really good with the toasted baguettes.

Full menu of options for drinks. No frozen drinks tho. They do not have a blender. They carry Faygo pop and that was a real treat.

Ordered the chicken Caesar salad. If I had known that, the salad came premixed I would’ve asked for the salad dressing on the side. It turned the Romain lettuce, soggy quickly. Couldn't take the left overs. Dressing was on the bitter side.

Also, tried the fire bird sandwich. Bun gave it good texture. Not a fan of the topping choices. Didn’t go well with the cheese and sauce.

I was excepting a little more from the menu. Smaller menu. Will be back.“

“Deanna & Anna have a great establishment here! Just visited this evening with a few friends for the first time. I’ll definitely be back. I had the veggie panini and truffle fries with a sangria. The food was great and so was the sangria. Definitely looking forward to visiting in a weekend when I have more time to enjoy some charcuterie and some wine. Thank you both for your hospitality 😊“

“My favorite spot in Detroit! A perfect stop on your way to or from an event or as a destination of its own. There are always incredible selections on the seasonal cocktail menu and of course, everything you could want for classics. Friendly, creative, and knowledgable staff who are always a highlight of every visit (especially Dave). You can even shop around for everything you need to continue your day or keep your night going. Bodega has it all!“
