“Cool idea, great beer selection. Website is nearly unusable, needs major improvement.“

“Food is good. Don't get a pop though. They charged $5 for a full glass of ice with a splash of Coke. Will never order a pop from there again. She never came to ask about refill either. Ridiculous!“

“The food was decent. We went for Lobster fest. We got the lobster tower with the waffle. The sauce is hot honey.. which spicy stuff really bothers my stomach... the did not have regular syrup which was strange because they serve brunch but they did give me regular honey. The camel cheesecake was so good! Lobster Bisque was creamy abs great taste, but barely any Lobster. It is super small abs we were packed in fur sure. Definitely no private conversations or private eating. My husband loved his Lobster Alfredo and our sushi roll was good. The Dubai cochlear heart was god. A couple of pieces is good enough. They dust out the strawberry sauce on it abs I had to mention it. I was told they must have ran out. Then I got some that was just made but it had a sour taste.. My husband would love to go back . But I wouldn't be mad if we did not.“

“I belong to a group that has a regular meeting in July every year. This is the Second year in a row that we held it at 5th Ave. We had our event there this past Saturday and 5th Ave knocked it out of the park just as they did last year!

Megan set us up just as asked, and the venue was perfect for our members to converse and meet up! The staff was very friendly and helpful! What really stood out was the flatbread pizzas. Our membership was raving about the great pizzas!

We will defiantly have our event there again next year if they will have us!“

“Sunday Funday 🎉
I was just introduced to WP this summer 2025. The fish and chip 🥰 and others items I’ve nibbled from my friend’s plate were yummy. The Sunday live music 🙌🏽. Drinks are also perfect. Three visits already- in 2 months.“

“We held a 50th birthday party for our daughter in the private room last Saturday evening. The service and the food was extraordinary. We had 50 attendees that included old and not so old. The banquet items were outstanding and the chef did a marvelous job of preparation and presentation. Passed appetizers were a hit with everyone. (I particularly liked the crab cakes) Sheila, Yen, Rex, and Kat provided the beverage service and passed the appetizers and drink orders with smiles and efficiency. While we didn't see much of the kitchen staff, Gil, Emeka, Chaona, and Aaron provided culinary treats that had all the attendees marveling at the variety and taste. And most helpful were Joanna and Paul, the proprietors. Thank you Common Pub for a most memorable evening and event!“

“Food was good and service was acceptable (nothing special) but you had a group of 5 guys leave your restaurant last night somewhat bewildered after your waitress Katarina made it quite clear she was not happy with the 20% tip we gave her. Apparently, our stay of about 3 hours eating and drinking was excessive. We may not be back.“

“Kozy Lounge has a relaxed atmosphere, and serves the best burger in town! And Jacob is a delight behind the bar!“

“Awesome place to be they have a great menu very good and nice specials. The burgers are awesome. and good service. Mariesa is the bartender and takes very good car of us and the rest of the staff is very friendly too. gotta try it.“

“Checked out Eastern Market Brewing Company tonight, and I get why people talk about this place. It’s right in the heart of Eastern Market and has a great lineup of beers — enough options for everyone, whether you’re into IPAs or just want something easy to drink .

I grabbed a flight so I could pretend I’m a beer expert. I’m not, but the dark beer was smoother than I expected and the lager was the kind of crisp you want after a long week. The space itself feels laid back — good seating, and you can still catch whatever game is on without feeling like you’re in a packed sports bar.

Service was friendly, crowd was chill, and it’s the kind of spot where you could make this your go-to without even trying. Detroit beer, no pressure, good energy.

I’ll definitely be back — and I’m officially adding breweries to the list of places I “review” now.“

“We came to Detriot to see the NCAA D1 National wrestling tournament. We stopped in and had a great time. The beer, food, and environment were wonderful and we give them 5 stars. Look forward to coming back. Mechanicsburg PA folks“

“Old school, Detroit style bar with charbroiled burgers. It’s about the only place left in Detroit where you can find one. I literally drive across town just to get one on the regular. Makes me nostalgic for the days Detroit had charbroiled burgers everywhere.“

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

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

“Delicious food and excellent selection of Michigan draft beers. Great atmosphere as well.“

“Like most places in Detroit, especially during the winter time I originally thought it might be a dive bar, but turned out. I was only half right one of the best breakfasts I had visiting my family in the area, The sausage gravy was Seasoned very well on the biscuits and gravy eggs were fluffy And the only time I have ever enjoyed home fries, crispy on the outside fluffy and soft in the middle.“

“Been many moons since I patronized this southern Warren establishment. Was impressed how clean and updated inside was. Great service, nice atmosphere, several pool tables, friendly people and very reasonable prices. Will be back.“

“Fun time meeting people. Great food and drinks.“

“They’ve always provided consistently good service and food. They accommodated a family dinner for 12. All was good.“

“Casual, fast, friendly service. Fun!“

“Booked a show here and did EVERYTHING required just to have my spot given to someone who didn't do EVERYTHING required... Was told I'd get a discount for different dates, picked the date just to be told basically the same thing again... I kept my word and she didn't... Won't be doing ANY business with them...“

“Awesome pizza and a good choice of craft beers. Lots of daily deals on. The lady behind the bar who was serving, bringing the food out and clearing the tables needs a pay rise, she didn't stop, her name was Lenice , will be back. Pork pie pizza was ace“

“Fun casual dining- great food, good service!“

“Todd does a great job! 🙂👍“

“On Set. 19, I brought my 96-yr-old mom here for a drink and hors d'oeuvres. I had sent a note on the online reservation form that we would appreciate a quiet table. The receptionist had knowledge of the request without my saying anything, and immediately showed me three locations she thought would suit. I wish I had gotten her name, for management to commend her. (We arrived at 5:15, which should help you know to whom I refer.) We sat in a booth, and our server, Usama, made our nearly 3-hr (!) visit truly joyful and perfect! Again, management - please take note. We agreed that he was the best waiter either of us have ever had - attentive, fun and funny, and going the extra mile in tailoring our drinks to our (sweet-tooth!) tastes, and making us feel welcome and special. This was likely my mom's final "fancy" outing, and I am so grateful to Usama for making it perfect. Kudos also to the chefs. Our 3 dishes were superb - beef tips, shrimp, hummus.“

“Our bartender, Beth, was awesome….and she made us a GREAT corned beef sandwich. Loved the vibe in this place. Highly recommend. Oh and a very, very cool juke box with fantastic music“
