50 Best Bars near Orchard Lake Village

“Can wait for them to start serving food… especially the burgers!“

“West End is comfortable, sterling, food flavorful and reasonable price. I had the Wagu burger $18.00. The bar seats are tall and comfortable. From the decor, food and comfort. This bar is over the top. In our neighborhood we have a "Cheers"“

“The brisket is the best anywhere. We love the homemade potato salad. The grown up mac and cheese is delicious. The service is always perfect. We were just there and we've been going there since it opened. Olivia was an excellent server.“

“Super fun bar, great service and food!“

“I was pleasantly surprised the first time I went there. Gridiron is your typical neighborhood dive bar with lots of friendly regulars and a charismatic owner. It reminds me of Cheers ( the old sit com). The drinks are inexpensive and generous. A vodka and cranberry was only $3.00, and the bottle of Budwiser was $2.75 . I got a 1/2 pound cheese burger with everything on it for$6.75. I couldn't believe the prices. I would definitely recommend it and have told all my friends about it.

Parking: There is plenty of parking

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible.“

“The perfect place to enjoy a drink with friends. By car or by boat! Cheers!“

“$5.99 burger & fries, with a whiskey sour 👌😌🥃 I’ll definitely be back, and only wish I had stopped in years sooner!“

“it's a great bar good food, French dip is the best you'll have for miles corned beef sandwich is slow smoked the au ju is very good best I've had it is a small kitchen but we'll worth your wait“

“Absolutely best and highest quality Chinese food that I know of. This isn’t your typical “Chinese Restaraunt”. You’ll find no buffet or anything of that sort here. Impeccable interior, with the added plus of the Jia Bar Connected and owned by the same owners. Stop and have a craft cocktail at Jia then 10 steps into the China Cafe through the door and be prepared for a fantastic experience! Owners are absolute gems as well.“

“This place has great food!! it's definitely a neighborhood bar so if you're from the neighborhood you'll be comfortable there!! Go see my girl Tiffany she's got you!! Owner is super nice let's the party get fun but not out of control...I'll be back“

“Is a great local bar. Nice cheers type set up as the name implies. Has a pool table with lots of room which is awesome! Great immediate service by Lisette. She knew everyone in the bar again just like the show. Really enjoyed myself at this bar!!“

“Every dish I’ve had at the Pines has been delicious as well as generous servings. However, you must try their French Fries. I have never in years of eating fries from multiple restaurants have I tasted anything as delicious as the Pines French fries.“

“Love it here great vibe!!!!“

“So far really good“

“The place to be! It's so great coming there and feeling like family. Amazing food, awesome creative drinks and the prices are so reasonable. I can't say enough about how much I love the staff! They are all my friends from going there. Forget about Olive Garden, CLI is "when you're here you're family!"“

“I went to Time Out on a Friday night around midnight in search of some late night grub. It seemed as if this was the only place open in Waterford! I tried the chicken fingers and fries, and they were great! ?? You might say how hard can that be to cook? I've been to other places that it seemed like I told them to cook a dinner impossible. Anyway, the waitstaff was awesome and attentive, plenty of TV screens, there was a great dj spinning that night as well. About 30 people came in not too long after me and atmosphere livened up considerably. The Time Out is definitely a vibe! Oh yeah, I don't drink, but I can vouch for the Coca-Cola tasting good, too ?“

“Great place with great owners. High recommended especially for cornhole.“

“We had dinner at Tribu last weekend with another couple and it was one of the best dining experiences. Everything from the ambience, staff, customer service and all of their FOOD were exceptional!! The menu was a soft launch menu as it was their grand opening, but there were so many options that we ended up ordering multiple appetizers, entrees and all of the desserts! Everything was absolutely delicious. The duck wings, tagliatelle, and filet were so flavorful. Great food, great company and great atmosphere. Will definitely be back for more!“

“Lilly was a good server. the food was amazing, huge portions, very affordable“

“Our family came in at 630 on a Friday and were seated right away. Rush was stating, grill was down, and they were short staffed— but Cameron and Eden saved the day. 10/10 customer service and despite running around like crazy made our group feel seen, heard, and our time enjoyable.“

“Great place with drinks and Games“

“This bar has no food.. You are however welcome to bring in any outside food or have it delivered..

For the people who don't understand- ordering a water and not paying for it doesn't make you a customer-It's not illegal to kick out somebody who is loitering.

This bar lets in plenty of people who need to warm up or use the bathroom. They're real easy to deal with as long as everybody is respectful of one another.

Ordering a water and taking up a seat in a bar that only makes money off of selling drinks and then wondering why you got asked to leave isnt ridiculous But maybe it's why you don't own a business yourself. 🧘‍♀️

Jukebox is usually going and the drinks are cheap cheap.

Monday through Sunday, Noon until 2:00 a.m.

Pretty simple hours.“

“Best ribs I’ve had in a long time, great food decent service prices are in line with other good pub food places we will be back!“

“One of the best ever“

“always had great food and drinks and great service“

“Very fun, festive atmosphere. Delicious food, wonderful Sangria and attentive wait staff. A very unique place to enjoy an excellent Mexican meal. Definitely will be back.“

“Delicious waffle tenders extra tender and juicy“

“Very pleasant experience and delicious food. Avery was the greatest server. Will definitely be back soon.“

“I ordered o line & there was a glitch where my card was charged, but the order didn’t go thru on Buddy’s end. I thought I was gonna be screwed & have to take it up with my card company or wait & see if the charge fell off, but Buddy’s did right by me and made the pizza for me I had ordered online“

“We had a lunch we ordered chicken, tandoori and chicken biryani. The food was tasty The service was excellent. The Restaurant was extra clean. I will recommend this Restaurant .“

“I’ve been here several times. The last time was in April 2025. We ordered a glass of tomato juice and a white Russian from the waiter in the comedy club. He returned quite a while later, to tell us he did not have either of those things. Now, when we ate at the restaurant upstairs before the show, I confirmed with the bartender that he indeed had plain tomato juice available. They also had the ingredients, I’m sure, for a white Russian in the upstairs bar. Can you imagine how much business you’re missing just because a waiter didn’t want to go upstairs and get two common drinks? Just a thought.“

“I rarely write reviews but I want this restaurant to never go away. Go there, spend your money, you won't be upset. Comfortable restaurant, fantastic staff, and amazing food! We ordered appetizers, lunch, and take out for dinner. We got the Reuben Spring Rolls, Pretzel Sticks, Monte Cristo and the Bourbon Burger with Sweet Potato Fries, all delicious! The Mushroom Soup and Beef Stew are the best I've ever had!“

“Excellent food as always and the service is A-1“

“Love the food & service here“

“Great place Great people“

“Friendly atmosphere, delicious food, and servers were excellent. Their cookies are worth the wait; hot and fresh from the oven! We enjoyed it so much, we went twice while we were in town for vacation.“

“The Lakes catered a bridal shower for us today. The food was fantastic and everyone enjoyed it. We had the Michigan Salad, Firecracker Pasta w/Chicken and Salmon w/Citrus Cream Sauce. The entire experience was outstanding. I've dined in before with my family multiple times and the food has always been delicious. I would highly recommend The Lakes.“

“Really good place and good food“

“had a blast last night. the 80's band totally rocked. great staff great atmosphere LOTS OF FUN“

“We enjoyed our time at the HUB. We went for a small birthday party and did the golfing simulator and bombowling. The golf simulator is not TopGolf so I’m not sure why it’s labeled as such… we had several issues with the simulator and no one knew enough about it to assist. The bombowling was fun, but at $100/hr for the lane, it’s a bit steep. We were able to get a few games in with 6 people but once it gets crowded it can be problematic with footballs flying and bouncing everywhere. Overall, I’d come back with a larger group so you can split costs evenly. Prices can start to get higher if it’s less than 4 people.“

“WONDERFUL FOOD, WONDERFUL SERVICE AND A GREAT ATMOSPHERE! I am ALWAYS COMPLETELY SATISFIED! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Definitely one of my TOP DINING PLACES I highly recommend stopping in here. as I have to so many of my friends, family and colleagues!✍🏽💯🔥♥️👏🏽🥂🍾🎈“

“the food is always great and I love all the servers. they are so kind and caring. great neighborhood spot“

“I've been going here with a group of friends for a several years now and it's become a tradition that I would never want to quit! The food is delicious and the staff is AMAZING (shout out to Miguel, Raul, Seira, Angelica, Crystal and anyone else I've missed --- LOVE you all!) Some of my go-to faves: shrimp tacos, anything with beef cheek (quesadillas, tacos, etc.), taco salad, fajitas (the meal that ends up being 2-3) and anything from the bar :D I'd also like to take a moment to really commend the staff & owners: ever since COVID started, it's been extremely tough for most every restaurant to obtain/keep their staff. I know there may be times Alchile can get really busy (as there are a lot of us that go regularly) and there may be times you may have to wait longer than you'd like to get a seat (or your food/drink) but know that the staff works really hard & truly cares about each customer and you will NOT be disappointed! They are well worth the wait“

“Stopped in for a quick flight and snack. Beers were all good, but the Birch Bark porter was great. The Center Stage Amber stood out for the style as well. Big menu, but we will need to go back and check them out. Pizzas were flying out of the kitchen. Other than being a little loud inside the atmosphere was relaxing and typically brewery style. Lots of TVs though, which is outside the norm of most breweries I visit.

Parking: Parking lot could use repair. It is a shared space so I would not think it is the brewery responsibility other than pressuring the landlord

Kid-friendliness: Tons of kids were there.“

“Delicious! Make your own salad was wonderful with lots of good ingredients.“

“We had the cool Henry room for 12 people last night for dinner. Everyone ordered different entrées and raved about their meals. The food was very fresh and there was a large variety of items on the menu for people with different diet, restrictions and different appetites. Our server, Ashley, was very attentive and a wonderful waitress. Greg Conley was great to deal with and help us to find the perfect venue for our special dinner. Thank you to Cowleys for the great atmosphere, attentive service, and delicious food. We highly recommend.“

“Honestly had a great time here with friends. Great atmosphere. Good music. Definitely recommend coming here to dance and just have a good time. My only complaint is the sticky floors and the glass bottles that I eventually found broken on the dancefloor.“

“Very good meal from the new menu! Will definitely be back!!“
