35 Best Bars near Rochester

“I always love coming here for the great selection of oysters. The space is cozy and overall the experience is usually pleasant. Today our server was honestly a little rude, which made our experience unexpectedly poor. I totally understand if someone is having a bad day but to be rude during the entire service when my whole table was as nice as possible is different. Definitely disappointed with our visit today.“

“Great atmosphere, delicious drinks and our bartender Brandon was awesome!! Definitely recommend this place!“

“Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“first time there for Lions tailgate party! Absolute awesome place to watch the game. Donnie the manager was very attentive to our larger party. Kaylie was awesome at taking care of us. Good time all around had by all. The $16 buffet pre game was a great value, and the food was excellent. Highly recommend checking out the tailgate party before every game!“

“Recently visited Main Street billiards and just an overall great atmosphere and vibe. The music was really good, not too quiet and not too loud. Many places to sit and grab a drink on a Friday or Saturday night. They have plenty of outdoor seating as well as they serve food. Highly recommend for something to do in downtown Rochester Hills. Always enjoy coming here. There are 2 sides, a bar area with a dance floor and a billiards area with arcades.“

“Abdul, Abdul what a waiter, super polite and kind. Always has a shining smile on his face while helping you out. He is the best waiter ever, will for sure be back. Great food and all in all great experience.“

“I would say the time it took to get our food was a little longer than average (they were not busy at all). Looks like parking is not sufficient. We got there before 5 and there were a few spots, but when we came out there were many cars waiting for a spot. Figure at least $20/person for basic meal (no alcohol).“

“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.“

“A new bar has been set for cigar bars in Michigan. Let’s just say I know more than most about the business. This is without a doubt the best execution of a vision to be the very best. Timeless decor, good food, friendly staff, diversity in the humidor, comfortable seating, large patio, easily accessible location, and a true gent at the helm. Donny congrats! I loved the place. I will definitely be back soon. Ronnie (Secreto Cigar Bar)“

“My experience with Robusto’s has always been a great one. Food, drinks, cigars and service always hits right on the nail and I always leave this place looking forward to coming back. I bring family and friends here with me and they always look forward to coming back again to hangout. 10/10 place. They’re doing something right here and I love being a regular at Robusto’s. If you want to eat, smoke, and drink and have a good time? Truly come here. You will not regret it.“

“The place was awesome great burgers and extremely great prices. The wait staff was great me and my wife popped in for a beer and some food. We were greeted instantly when we walked in And we had drinks in front of us in about 2 minutes The food was awesome The burgers range from about 8 bucks to 12 bucks depending on what you order. The fries were like five bucks for a whole basket. They also have outdoor seating with a nice patio in downtown Utica which is great. Right down the street from Jimmy John's field. You could definitely sit out on the patio and watch the fireworks when the field is doing them. Could definitely bring children here. Not so much wheelchair friendly as there are a couple steps inside. Although I'm sure you can manage somehow. There are plenty of places to park around the back there's a big lot that you can park in down the road or you can get lucky and get a spot in downtown Utica. The service was fantastic The burgers were cooked to perfection and drinks were ice cold what more could you ask for. I'm definitely recommending this place and we will definitely be back You can't beat it.

Parking: Big lot to park in down the road or you can get lucky find a spot behind shamrocks or park right on downtown Utica Street

Kid-friendliness: Could definitely bring your children here they got burgers awesome fries

Wheelchair accessibility: A little difficult to navigate with a wheelchair but I'm sure you can manage.“

“Omg, this place is so cool. The atmosphere and staff make it so unique. The lighting is a little brighter, and music is played a little softer, so it makes conversion and laughs more enjoyable. The mead here is very good. There are a lot of beers to choose from, and they are often rotated. Once a keg is empty, they will bring in a different keg (brand and flavor). I love to taste beer, and they offer flights. The staff and owner are super friendly and great to talk to. They also support local businesses by bringing in local foods and treats.“

“We stopped in after a football game. We are not from the area but found this gem of a place. Staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. Our server was
Bonny with a "y" cause she's Irish and was the absolute best. We had appetizers and a few beers. The food was great ..best fried pickle chips we have ever had and the egg rolls as well as the cheese curds. We will go back when we are on that side of town.“

“We live nearby but had never visited MacKenzie Tavern until recently. Glad we did! The food is quite good, especially when Yamin is in the kitchen. Pasta dishes are always on point. Good gyro, too. Domestic beer prices are among the best I can find. I've seen some reviews that describe the place as "a bit of a dive." And your point is? It's nothing fancy but neither am I. Try it. You'll like it.“

“Great Burger and great Bloody Mary“

“We had a great experience with Big Red! We held a reunion there and it was amazing. Trish was great to work with getting everything set up and all the staff was phenomenal. The food was delicious. Thanks so much!“

“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“

“Dinner last week was great! Our waitress Annabelle was fantastic! Place was busy, but she gave great individual attention and fast drinks ❤️ we will be back!“

“Enjoyed everything, appetizers and drinks came out quickly. I had the “Violets are Blue” and it was delicious. Staff was attentive and friendly. Food was AMAZING. we had a party of 5 plus a baby and nothing was overlooked. We will be back again!“

“Dec 2nd, we did a celebration of life for 60 people. Outstanding service, buffet, and the deserts were over the top. Everyone enjoyed the event, and I received comments for 2 weeks on what a great GEM Golden Eagle Restaurant is.“

“Stopped in and got the calzone..it was great and my husband and I shared it. It was stuffed with pepperoni and cheese...it was yum“

“Best spot in Sterling Heights! Owner is amazing and the people are the kindest around“

“My fiancé and I chose Bar Verona as the location for our wedding shower. To say that they exceeded all of our expectations would be an understatement! From the very beginning their Event Manager, Ashley, was extremely responsive and helpful answering any and every question we had. When the day the finally came, the staff was pleasant, helpful, and professional. One of their employees even helped when we were having technical difficulties with the speaker and microphone system that we brought in! The restaurant is beautiful, and the food was to die for!! I would highly recommend Bar Verona to anyone that asks!“

“Casual, fast, friendly service. Fun!“

“My friend showed me this place in the beginning of summer and Hot stuff was my bartender, got me my drinks quickly…its never a let down. I have been going back ever since. Good environment and they definitely always make people feel welcomed.“

“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!“

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

“Delicious food and great service. Frank you have yourself a great restaurant. Great seeing you and meeting the amazing chef. My parents were so happy!!“

“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.“

“The 4 different beers that we tried were delicious, our server was kind, helpful and attentive. We will definitely return to try the food!“

“Very fun atmosphere ❤️❤️ everyone was super friendly great service good food and drinks“

“Ignore "Jazz" who should know that restrooms are for patrons and Chrissy who obviously doesn't know Mexican food. I've been in Mexico, have Mexican friends, and eat in Mexican restaurants at least 4 times a month. You will NOT find better than Aztecas in Macomb County. This place is even better than the establishments in Mexican town Detroit.“
