50 Best Cocktail Bars near Oak Park

“more to my origional comment........ french frys say smothered in gravey.... didn't come that was as there was just a small amount of gravey with a large amount of mayo in the middle....... french frys were cold ....“

“Exquisite. The flavors. The freshness. The presentation. It was a real treat. Staff was patient and attentive.“

“I visited this past Valentine’s Day weekend and visited again this past Saturday night. I didn’t have a reservation but still got seated very quickly. It was a hot, muggy night and the hostess said she had a seat on the patio which I was fine with. I had a magnificent server, Florence, who was kind, thoughtful to recommend a drink to the person I was with and even when our drinks were brought out within a short time, apologized for the delay (which wasn’t necessary). I wish I could give a review on the party next to us because they were extremely rude, not only not giving consideration to others being on the patio but were also incredibly rude to Florence. One woman in particular was grandstanding in front of this group and demanded to speak to a manager. Florence and the Manager were both composed and dignified in spite of a rude patron that was looking to get her bill comped (for a party of nearly a dozen people) going so far as to threatening to have everyone at her table write a terrible review. I have worked in the service industry and so have so many people I know and love so this situation had me worked up and I felt it necessary to write a review that our experience was magnificent. Don’t be an a-hole to servers of any kind just because you’re an a-hole yourself. If you give respect, you get respect. Go to The Sugar House. Be a good customer.“

“Beautiful space with amazing energy. So comfortable, inviting and Magickal. The bartenders are captivating and interesting and the Spirits they concoct are divine. 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 place! Paul made us some of his delicious cocktails, and the meatballs were on point. Very creative menu.“

“Little Bo Sheep @ The Big Bad Wolf Owner of Walker's...Best hole on the corner to slip into for some pool, drinks, dancing, & a flirtatious encounter. Sometimes there are pop-up entertainers...! Dare ye sail inside to discover what there be to find? 🤔⚓“

“We walked in to the Buhl Bar and where greeted by George and Aish they where both so friendly and so full of information. We provided our preferences in taste and allowed George to select and make our cocktails. He nailed our tastes and delivered the best cocktails we have had. This place has such a great art deco vide the service was second to none and the drinks amazing. Thank you George and Aish it was a pleasure to have meet you both.“

“Great space, cozy, real cool/chill. I used the Gold Door 🚪. Staff was amazing, tag teaming the bar situation....we did have a discussion about menu options(hopefully Management will follow-up). The small bites were very tasty, two thumbs 👍🏾 👍🏾up. Will definitely be back 🫶🏾🫡🙏🏾“

“We had a lovely time on the patio with our dog at this bar. We ordered margaritas (a jalapeño one and a guava one), guacamole appetizer, & a buffalo chicken wrap entree. Everything was delicious. My first jalapeño margarita had over 20 seeds in it and they were kind enough to remake it for me without any big deal about it. The service was fantastic and we truly enjoyed our time! Highly recommend!“

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

“Wow. This venue had an incredible energy and vibe! Cannot wait to see what they have planned.“

“We've dined here twice now. The aesthetic of the space is really great - moody, but still cozy. The food/drink selection is good, but I think they struggle with consistency. The food was excellent on our first visit, but our most recent dining experience left a lot to be desired. I don't think we'll head back for a third.“

“A hidden gem in Detroit!

Room 1904 is such a unique experience! Mysterious, classy, and full of character. The atmosphere instantly transports you to another era, and every detail adds to the speakeasy charm.

The cocktails are beautifully crafted, the small plates are delicious, and the staff truly elevate the experience. Perfect for a date night, girls night or anyone looking for something special and unique in Detroit!“

“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 vibes with a vintage feel. Drinks were fun but not ~as~ good as I was expecting. Still very enjoyable. Food was spectacular, with the lobster bun exceeding my expectations. My partner said the burger was about as good as grey ghost’s (iykyk). Chicken bites were also very yummy. The solid Alaska was a fun ending of the night. Price range was reasonable too! We had 4 drinks total with 3 things to eat and it came to $99 before tip. Overall excited to come back!“

“Great People, Very Nice Bartenders, friendly neighborhood bar.“

“Wonderful Coffee! The hand made syrups were probably the best I ever had. I tried two lattes, one with vanilla lavender and the other with honey cinnamon and they were great! I recommend both of them with oatmilk. The owner was super friendly with my party and I and we had a very nice conversation with her while she made our lattes. Down Under is only FOUR minutes away from the TCF, walking. There is NO reason to ever get Starbucks again while I am in Detroit for Youmacon. A definite must for all the con goers to give them a try!“

“Very cool bar. Staff was super friendly. I would recommend a reservation.“

“Popped in for a couple drinks and some fries. Crinkle cut was a lovely surprise. Made delicious glasses of my specialty drink. Super friendly bartenders. Would definitely check out their Fish Fry-Day.

Went in today for a couple drinks after a bad day and was served quickly and exactly what I ordered. Great place to pop in or sit down. Love the outdoor patio.“

“everything was very good, we sat at the bar and McKenzie took really good care of us, a must try spot!“

“Our family had the best experience at Grandma Bob’s last night! The staff was gracious and the food was delicious!“

“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“

“Such a blast to play here!“

“Everything was great. Great musician. Food was good. Drinks were great. Nice ambiance. We did not get served right away, waited 10-15 min to get served. A table that sat after us were attended to first. If not that, I would have left a 30% tip vs 20%.“

“The restaurant is a little smaller with a more intimate feel. We sat at a small high top table next to the bar and we couldn’t have asked for better service. Throughout the night, at least 6 different servers took care of us (sitting next to the bar, we were taken care of by the bartenders.) The food and drinks were amazing and the service was top notch. My boyfriend had the peach cocktail and then an old fashion with honey cinnamon syrup and I had the mule which all of the drinks were absolutely delicious. We both had the Steak frites which was cooked to perfection and the fries I just couldn’t get enough of. For dessert, we took home the banana pie dessert and the Dubai chocolate cheesecake special and let me just say, oh my goodness. Neither of us knew which one we liked better. We will definitely be back! Thank you for an amazing valentines dinner :)“

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

“Second visit and both have been excellent. Great service and food. Last visit had sweet potatoes with chestnut puree, pomegranate, chorizo and lots of herbs. Melt in your mouth octopus with white beans and a wonderful salad. There was a great crowd and the place deserves to be more crowded! Highly recommend going.“

“Just got home and had a wonderful experience at Le Supreme to celebrate my remission from Leukemia. This wonderful French bistro was worth celebrating at. I had the mushroom tart, almond trout, and chocolate pots de creme. Will definitely return to indulge in more.“

“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.“

“Seeing the city from 24 stories up provided amazing views. It’s a unique experience.“

“Everything was delicious and the ambiance was outstanding. We ate while listening to the soothing sounds of live jazz music. The wonderful bread was casually refreshed throughout the meal. I had the perch and my friend had the filet mignon, both were fantastic. I highly recommend this hidden treasure.“

“Everything and everyone was amazing, can’t wait to go back again“

“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!“

“Love this bar and these people!“

“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.“

“I haven't been here yet, but form what I see it seems like it is a pretty nice lil cocktail bar.“

“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!“

“New menu was amazing. We had the potatoes, the scallops, burrata, and mushroom with shiitake dish. Burrata was hands down my favorite, thing. Perfect combination!! Highly recommend everything I got and the service was perfect, I mean like I finished my water and by the time my glass hit the table it was refilled. This was actually my second time, I’ve been before for a friends birthday and we had a different menu…..the pomegranate ribs were mouthwatering delicious. Not to mention the atmosphere inside, I personally love plants and that’s the first thing you notice when you walk in the door. Check it out for yourself, you won’t be disappointed!!“

“I like to thank the staff at Andiamo especially Thelma who was our server.. Also, thank you Mike for stopping by to see if everything was good. Im glad that we had chosen that location to celebrate Rosalyn birthday“

“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!“
