“Ohhh, this bar is awesome!!! The bartender, star, she's incredible! Make sure that you tip her good! Super nice and polite, she was very understanding when I told her about the guy who took my drink, lol. I had a fun time playing chess, talking shit, I wish that there was food, this is the only thing, but even without food, the bar was fantastic, I don't know, maybe there was food and I was too drunk, I don't know. Fun bar, great time. If you're going to come here, don't be too serious.. You will have a fun time, I promise you. Everyone there is polite. But seriously, if you come to this bar, seriously, just give Star your money and she will give you a great drink. She's also super nice so no need to be uptight at this bar, you'll be okay! This bar, great place, there's a party that's going to be at this bar tomorrow, if you're going to come to this bar, seriously, just go to Star, she'll give you a good drink seriously.. I'm definitely coming back to this bar!!! There's not enough good things to say about it, but this is a good place to party, tomorrow!!! Very good!! Thanks!!! P.S. about the food, I don't know if they had any, they may actually have food there, but I didn't know what they had, I got a drink, but tomorrow, I'll see if they have food, and I'll probably forget to even update this review. Anyways, great bar, definitely go here! You won't regret it, just have a fun time here!“

“Great folks run the place and populate it. No nonsense good burgers, great beer and liquor selection and great service people.“

“Had a great time with all my friends and Amber our waitress\ barmaid hooked us up some really good burgers and fried zucchini. Atmosphere was really good if I could have had a few drinks it would have been a perfect afternoon out after such a long time of isolation from all my friends. Thank you Amber?????“

“Luke was an excellent driver on Detroit Rolling Pub. He was lots of fun and a careful and alert driver.“

“Wonderful place to go for a special occasion. The entertainment is always top notch. The food was absolutely delicious and the entire staff at the top of their game!“

“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.“

“Very cool atmosphere! Awesome bartender!!! Great place“

“My cousin wed their beautiful bride last night and their original post wedding brunch location fell through at the last minute. Groups of us came through right as Supergeil opened. Now let me tell you, they moved mountains to host our celebration. The food was incredible and the warm hummus was some of the best I’ve ever had. Thank you thank you thank you for today! Cheers 🍸 10/10 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!!!“

“perfect place for an adventure, Sunday Funday!“

“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.“

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

“Absolutely 100% recommend Nemo’s! We’re here for tigers opening day and I am breastpumping. I asked if they had a room I could pump, although they didn’t have a secluded area for me, they let me pump in this back area. Thankfully I had a wearable pump so you can’t see anything but one of the bartenders brought me a water & a hotdog and was just the sweetest man. Truly thankful for their hospitality! So very sweet! Above and beyond!“

“This is a small, but cool vibe old-time neighborhood bar. Came here with a group to see the Brother Crowe band who are an amazing and gritty, bluegrass-leaning Celtic Roots powerhouse band. You grab your own drinks from the friendly and efficient bartenders, the menu had some great choices and everything came out hot and delicious. The band rocked out and everyone there was really getting into their high energy music, singing along and dancing. I hope I get a chance to come back again!“

“Had a work event here and I celebrated my birthday this past weekend love the vibes. Enjoy the fact that you can hang out inside or hang out outside but still enjoy the music. That drinks are not super expensive. Parking isn’t too hard to find in the area quick easy spot to access other bars.“

“the bartender was excellent as was the atmosphere!“

“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!“

“Phenomenal bourbon selection“

“Awesome place. Full of fun for everyone. We’ll be back for sure!“

“My favourite Detroit venue!! 🖤“

“If you have not been to Benders you are missing out. The service is exceptional and the owner is always around shaking hands and making sure everything is perfect for his customers. This place needs to be a LaSalle staple for years to come.“

“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.“

“The service was great as was the food. They are so polite. More than willing to answer questions. They greet everyone that walks in. 10/10 would definitely recommend.“

“Came here for a night out with my fiancé and ended up having a blast. They have all the old school games, which fills up my happy little old-school heart. The bar was amazing, and the drinks were fantastic. I will definitely be back as I still have a crap ton of coins. The only con I have is that there's no tickets or prizes for winning the games.“

“My experience at Kampers Rooftop is always top-tier! I’ve always been treated with top-notch customer service from everyone there! A special shout out to Dominique, the bartender. He was exceptional. From the good conversation to the fantastic drink recommendations, this is definitely the place you want To bring friends and family.“

“Great 'dive' bar with real good food and an exceptional jukebox.“

“Best neighborhood bar in Detroit!! Started going there with Pearl & Sov when I was 13 Love that bar!!“

“Hands down, my absolute FAVORITE BAR in the Detroit Metro area. August the bartender is one of the coolest people you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting and knows how to pour a damn good drink. Be sure to ask August for a shot of Fernet and he'll tell you "It's like 1000 fairies dancing on your tongue!".“

“When you’re there, you’re home. Fun, warm local bar.“

“Best jam space, great staff, dope spot“

“Maiden Lane is a jewel - really nothing else like it in Windsor. Excellent wine bar and selection well curated by their owner/ sommelier, Sarah. Great cocktails and maybe the best small plates in the city, too, don't sleep on the food. Love the atmosphere and the attention to the soundtrack. A1 date spot for sure.“

“Great service ………………..“

“Great atmosphere and yummy food!“

“We hosted our “happy hour shower” at Two James and had such an awesome time!! All our ~55 guests were complimenting the drinks and food nonstop and Nicole and Sophie made the planning process a breeze. I will definitely host more events at Two James in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.“

“Friendly staff!! Quick service.“

“We had drinks here today and my vodka and cranberry only cost $4.50ea (as of 09/26/23) which is the cheapest I’ve found in a while! And the bartender who is also the owners daughter is super sweet! We had a great time! This is definitely a place we’d visit again! There is no food besides some chips!“

“Last Chance Saloon in Detroit’s Corktown neighborhood is a hidden gem with serious vintage charm. Step inside and you’re transported to a laid-back, 1970s-style hangout, complete with dim lighting, retro décor, and a playlist that sets the mood just right. The bar serves up nostalgic cocktails like the Wisconsin Old Fashioned and the Blue Hawaiian, alongside a solid selection of affordable beers and whiskeys. With friendly bartenders, a cozy atmosphere, and a welcoming crowd of locals and newcomers alike, it’s the kind of place that makes you want to stay for one more round.“

“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 ✌️“

“A fukkin fantastic bar with a great staff. I LOVE the classic movies playing constantly and only wish you had more t-shirts available. Anytime I'm in Detroit I find a reason to stop by.“

“Before we moved away in 1972 (when I was 10) This was my father's bar.... Where everybody KNEW HIS NAME.... and I often was with him and everybody knew MY NAME, and bought me Shirley Temples.... I played in the empty stage area on the other side of the bar area.... Has it changed in 60 years? Because I would love to see it if it has NOT.... but I looked up this place because of beloved memories, so I wanted to share. Thank you.“

“Nice cigar bar! Relaxing and employees were super sweet ! Very welcoming !“

“My Sister & Brother-In-Law hosted my Godson's Baptismal Luncheon at The Polka Dot. IT WAS PERFECT! The food was AMAZING. The kids loved the Original Nintendo System. The adults loved gathering around the bar. This venue will definitely be considered for all future family events.“
