30 Best Bars near Pontiac

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“If I just moved here 3 years ago, wait I did! This place reminds me of where I met my wife when she was bartending in Kennett Square PA. The cool thing about Kennett is the diversity, and this place gets a mixed crowd, and even though my wife worked in the more urban side of Kennett as opposed to the main strip, and I guess you could say that for this place, but it's right across from the post office. I live near keego and can walk there, and you may see someone with a tattoo on their face, and everyone is nice and treats you like family. One guy brings Popeyes Chicken you can eat for free, and everyone is open minded, the bartender is ultra friendly and quick and you won't spend any money. None. Just leave a nice tip. During the day time if you want to watch the news and converse with an older crowd who have been going there before norm went to cheers. You are in their living room, the guests, but when the bartender opens them up you can learn a lot about Oakland County and the owner might be there! Everyone kind of minds there own business, but will be cool if you are. Not as intimidating as the area might seem at night, it's a nice area, I live right next to keego and I walk there. Good pregame. I like to get lost in a crowd of strangers, so that's why only 4 stars. Sometimes only cash.“

“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.“

“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.“

“went yesterday for lunch. $7 happy hour. they had either gin or vodka for $7 so i got gin ???? and loved it too ? my bartender, who was literally a dream. amazing customer service… she made me a gin with a lavender lemonade or something like that and it was very good. It wasn’t super sweet and i could definitely taste the difference between the gin and tequila which is what i normally drink. The wings didn’t have a lot of flavor but the ranch was good and they kept their temperature for a very long time. I went back and forth either the whitefish pate and the wings and they never got cold. That’s major points in my book. They have a very seafood heavy menu. I would love to come back and try some more stuff.“

“Great food and service as always!! Thank you for cooking dinner for us tonight!!“

“MBTB is a local treasure! The atmosphere is welcoming and perfect for a date night, friends getting together, or even stopping in by yourself! They have something for everyone and the service has always been amazing. I love the commitment to Michigan products from the wine to the snacks all the way to the merchandise. They also offer so many fun events and classes and put a lot of thought and creativity into everything they do! I have been to all of the locations and each one is wonderful. Cheers!“

“We had a drink and the pretzel bites we awesome“

“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"“

“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!!“

“The Hideout shocked me, i drove by for many years and figured it was a hole/little bar. When I walked in the interior was very nice. So the business end of the review, i had a cheeseburger with grilled onions and it was so darn good I was shocked. I came back the following night it was so good hoping they could replicate it, im not here for the drinks but the cheeseburger! Once again the chef comes through with a home run. Ill be back tomorrow or the next day, its that good and its of tremendous value, im not sure how they do it. The place is a gem!“

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

“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 ?“

“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!“

“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!“

“great cheese steaks. good service“

“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 .“

“staff is wonderful, food is great! Love the atmosphere.“

“Love this restaurant! We travel from Windsor Ontario to eat here because of the great food and drink. However the best part of Troy Yard House is the staff. Namely Sara who works the bar. She is simply amazing. I marvel at how she commands the bar yet encages with each of her customers. We have been here several times and attend based on Sar's schedule. We truly appreciate her as well the other staff who make this a GREAT place to be!“

“All their food is great, highly recommend the burgers, wings, and steak frites“

“Delicious waffle tenders extra tender and juicy“

“I have been coming to A+ Crab sense they have opened and have continued still to this day, i used to live in florida so i craved a good boil all the time and once here opened my friend and boyfriend fell in love with it. i definitely recommend here for anniversary or just a night out!!! all servers and staff are very very nice and friendly and quick, the food come out hot, fresh and fast. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND COMING HERE!!!“

“Stopped in for a nice lunch. Waitress was friendly and the service was good. Food was good as well.“

“When my Dad stays with us we go out to eat and this time he mentioned go here vs going out for Mexican so he could try your Screamin' Pumpkin. Our waitress was Shelby who was great and engaging with my Dad plus my boyfriend. Of the handful of times we've been there this was the best experience and an evening to remember.“
