“The pizza is AMAZING! I think I can easily say this is the best Detroit style pizza I have ever had. I first discovered them at pop up they had near Campus Martius, but finally got to go to their new home on Holden. The interior is pretty small, so not best for big groups but a date night or for a party of two is just fine. I wish it was closer to me so I could get take out. We got the Packard Pepperoni and the Mclovin pizza. Both were excellent, I loved the origniality of the Mclovin which was a nod to like a big mac. Anytime I can go again, I definitely will be. Check out this gem if you want to really know what Detroit style pizza is like.“

“Popped in for a couple drinks and some fries. Crinkle cut was a lovely surprise. Made delicious glasses of my specialty drink. Super friendly bartenders. Would definitely check out their Fish Fry-Day.

Went in today for a couple drinks after a bad day and was served quickly and exactly what I ordered. Great place to pop in or sit down. Love the outdoor patio.“

“Great people and good fun until new management now the drinks are overpriced for the environment they have done absolutely nothing in 20 years to the establishment not even update the televisions but the price jumped two or three dollars on the drinks miss me with it I'll have to find a new watering hole“

“Wow, this is the best place I've ever been. The drinks were great. The playlist was incredible. But the service was definitely the best I've seen in any drinking establishment in my entire life. I will fight anyone who dares deny, this is the place to be.“

“Went to FrameBar yesterday for the BirriaBar pop-up with chef Eddie Vargas. Food was excellent and a great value for the amount of food at the price point. I loved that the chef was making the rounds in the dining room to ensure every customer was satisfied. The birria platter and quesabirria were both great, as well as the salsas, queso, and aguacates. Lastly, the bar had good Mexican-inspired drink options, with the smoked Oaxacan old fashioned being my favorite for both taste and presentation. Great work all around.“

“Participated in a grad party given here by a relative. Great food, great service! Staff was very accommodating, and went out of their way to make things perfect! Atmosphere was perfect for an afternoon outdoor party! Would definitely recommend!“

“Came here with some friends for speed dating event. It was a nice bar and staff was very friendly. But it was a total waste of time for speed dating because there were only two guys and about 10 girls. Nice bar to come and chill but not for speed dating“

“Barrel House has become our go-to place to hang out and eat. Their food is delicious, the drinks are great, and the staff are all amazing!“

“Service was great. Nice little restaurant. It was a bit too hot out to enjoy the patio. But would Definitely be worth a trip during the summer.

Ordered the bake cheese dip to start. Really enjoyed it. Goes really good with the toasted baguettes.

Full menu of options for drinks. No frozen drinks tho. They do not have a blender. They carry Faygo pop and that was a real treat.

Ordered the chicken Caesar salad. If I had known that, the salad came premixed I would’ve asked for the salad dressing on the side. It turned the Romain lettuce, soggy quickly. Couldn't take the left overs. Dressing was on the bitter side.

Also, tried the fire bird sandwich. Bun gave it good texture. Not a fan of the topping choices. Didn’t go well with the cheese and sauce.

I was excepting a little more from the menu. Smaller menu. Will be back.“

“Great experience. Service, food and surroundings were over the top. Porkchop was the best I have ever had. Definitely will be back. Menu changes every two weeks.“

“We were instantly greeted and seated. Our server Robby was awesome. The entire staff was friendly. Chef Johnny is very talented and friendly. I love that he greets all guest and will even bring your food out himself. For starters we had the shrimp and crab cakes. They were crispy on the outside and melted in your mouth. The surprise with these was that there was whole shrimp inside. We loved it. The sauce on top was just the right amount. The salmon with saffron rice, coconut curry sauce and green apple slaw was the best salmon I've had in a while. The pairing was new for me but it worked. The salmon was juicy and perfectly cooked. When paired with everything on my plate it was like fireworks. Everything popped and was amazing. My husband had the beef strudel. Now he was thinking it was gonna be like a beef wellington but no. When he put his fork into the perfectly crispy flaky crust and into the most tender beef either of us have ever had, OMG. With the first bite all he could do was say "WOW"(sorry about how loud he was). The flavors of that plate were incredible. The blueberry cheesecake was the icing on the cake. It was perfect. Sweet but not too sweet and the smear of lemon sauce on the side elevated the flavors. The drinks. I had the rainforest and my husband had the Johnny Manhattan. When we saw how small the glasses were we were definitely worried. That feeling quickly faded with the first sip. The drinks may be small but they are strong and delicious. We had to pace ourselves with those. Overall, I give this place a 10/10 and will definitely be back again soon. Thank you to everyone there for a great time and for great service.“

“Drinks are fantastic here! Have not tried the food and heard it is a very small menu on selected day but if you are looking for well crafted cocktails, you've found the right place! I have only been here twice but so far the Basil Smash (not pictured) and the Coffee Espresso Martini are both absolutely delicious.“

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

“Clean, good service and happy staff. Most of all good food…“

“Had calamari which was like eating rubber. Pasta was very good although the waitress didn't know if the pasta was made in-house. Pizza was the star. It's the best around this area. Service was slow.“

“Came in for a margarita after going on a first date that could’ve been better, and everything was fabulous. Best chicken tinga tacos I’ve ever had. I came here specifically because I wanted a real margarita made with lime and agave rather than sour mix. Best margarita I’ve had in Metro Detroit, and I’ve been around! Lol. 100/10 recommend. Also, my server Karina was so kind and attentive.“

“Food was amazing. Everything we had was delicious. Great Sangria. Attentive staff. Only wish was…turn the music down. It was too loud to hear our friends talking.“

“My server informed me at the very end of my meal that the restaurant has lied to customers for over a year about having gluten free carrot cake and they have just been feeding people with intolerances gluten containing cake. So disrespectful. I got glutened after I spent $200 on my meal and was assured I had chosen gluten free dishes and precautions were being taken. Like look, I get it. Food allergies are a pain in the *ss but if you can't accommodate people with them don't lie to your customers. There are lots of other places in the metro area who do take allergies and medical conditions seriously. Way to ruin my birthday. Im going to be sick for a whole week because I have Celiac Disease. Thanks a ton.“

“Our anniversary...great staff...the hostess was more than accommdating to move our table from middle to room to side so I wouldn't panic..thank you! Our server Gera(sorry dont know spelling) was so attentive to detail and very friendly...thanks for everything“

“i ordered the summer salad and wings with a glass of wine. wow! everything was great! cant wait to being my husband to enjoy our new get away!“
