50 Best Sports Bars near Southfield

“I only had a sandwich and some mozzarella sticks but those were good and other people seemed happy with their meals - but mostly here to say the atmosphere / service at this place is unmatched. Amy & Heather who I got the opportunity to have as bartenders and servers both times I came (and they’re sisters! How fun) both went beyond the call of normal service. This place was the closest nearby spot to an emergency vet I took my dog to after an attack. I was obviously a bit solemn when I came in the first time for lunch and immediately they asked me if I was okay and both came around the bar to hug me when tears started welling and listened to my story and showed so much care and compassion for my poor doggy. When I came back a week later they recognized me IMMEDIATELY and asked how my boy was doing and were overjoyed when I said he’s healing well and getting stitched up today. I also wanted to come back to get their names just so I could be sure to mention them by name in a review because they certainly deserve it. Outside of that, clearly they (and the rest of the staff here) have compassion and familiarity with mostly everyone who walked in the door. They impressively remembered names, usual orders, and asked specific questions about peoples’ lives (and I was sitting at the bar for a long time while I waited for my dog both times and got to witness LOTS of interactions) - all were overwhelmingly positive. I love love LOVE this place. I live in Detroit and rarely come to the suburbs unless I need to - but I might have to start making Mr. Joe’s a regular stop ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Dined in with my coworker after a long shift and experienced such great service. Cre was our server and she had no problem taking care of us as indecisive as we were. Food was made fresh. The busser, David was exceptional as well. Accommodating anything we needed. We will definitely be back.“

“I was visiting the Detroit area from Texas. I went to this place to watch the Lions game... so I didn't eat. It's a sports bar. Given the other places I have traveled and been to sports bars, this is a good one. Compared to sports bars in Texas, it's just OK. It's a little small. The service was decent. The staff seemed to be more interested in watching the game than making money. If you're in the area, it's fine, but I wouldn't drive across town for this place.“

“Delicious waffle tenders extra tender and juicy“

“As far as carryout goes, this location is quite decent. We've been a few times and our order was perfect; I'm glad they're here, as Southfield could still use places like Friday's.

We've gotten apps, entrees, salads, etc. and we had no complaints. The portion size of Cajun shrimp pasta is huge, so that's definitely appreciated. My Million Dollar Cobb was pretty huge as well. Fresh ingredients, good dressing, happy me. The potato skins were freshly fried and delicious. We will probably continue to get carryout here often. Thank you to the cooking staff and management for holding it down here.“

“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.“

“Great place to chill and enjoy a good time with friends.“

“Super fun bar, great service and food!“

“So enjoyed this experience! Great time had by all. Will do this again.“

“The old locker room is where I met my husband of 35 years now, but the new locker has a great vibe as well. Food is Awesome, staff are friendly and helpful and the music brings a vibe that makes you happy and want to party. Let’s just say I love the Locker room. Ask for Lacey she’s the best waitress.“

“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.“

“This place has great food, better then some pricier restaurants I've been too.

Parking: The parking here can be tricky the parking lot is really small so you either have to fight for a spot or park at one of the trip malls nearby and walk over which isn't too far.

Kid-friendliness: Kids like it here, and I've seen kids sports teams go here.

Wheelchair accessibility: Difficult if you are in a wheelchair. I've seen people in the electric wheel chairs struggle to get through. The furniture is large and not easy to push out of the way for someone whose mobility is different.“

“My friends and I love coming here! We’ve made it the spot we visit regularly! Great food, fantastic staff and a welcoming atmosphere all around!“

“Came into the Bar because the speak easy they have was not taking in customers.
Place was busy. Service was very prompt and attentive.
Was in front area of Bar, it looked like it had a side room, I didn't go back in that area, I'm guessing a pool table area.
Again the place was real busy. They did allow Bikers in and they were wearing there Colors. About 5 of them. No trouble while I was there. But didn't need to see any trouble so left after 1 Beer.
Would of rated better if they wouldn't let the Bikers wear thier Club Colors in the Bar.
I guess they have to go somewhere, but I can choose to go somewhere else also.“

“Fantastic burger and friendly bartender“

“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!“

“Nice friendly place,staff and customers,“

“Food is great and so are the drinks“

“I had the chicken wings and garlic aloi fries. The wings was really good, big wings and had a lot of sauce on them. It's 12 for 20 which to me kinda expensive. The fries was disappointed in 7 dollars for some fries that's half of them was soggy. There was little cheese on it. The ones that was cooked was okay. I wouldn't highly recommend it but I would give it another try if different cooks was working. Saw one guy had to give his wings back before me because they was under cooked.“

“Great food , large portions, been there 1/2 dozen times , top notch!!“

“Our second visit and it’s excellent food great atmosphere tater tots are amazing. Salads are fresh and great. Highly recommend“

“Everything is great here. The burgers are amazing. The walleye is really good as well. Friendly staff and good service.“

“The most classic sports bar a sports bar can get. Some of the best pizza in town, some of the best wings in town, in the atmosphere is a classic sports bar. They even got the Jumbotron as a queer guy who likes sports And good food, This place is awesome.“

“Just had the best bar burger I’ve had in age’s….. seriously perfect medium burger, full of flavor, not greasy. Will definitely be our choice for a burger in the future ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“the service is top notch.“

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

“This place is FANTASTIC!!! The only issue I had was with other patrons. They were being loud talking about some washed up celebrity that used to be the host of the tonight show. They were having a great time laughing about all his misfortunes and something about a potato being used against him in traffic court.

Then some guy named Hamburger was bragging about being sued for $850,000 dollars. Now to me, that doesn’t seem like something I’d brag about but hey we all handle crisis in our own way.

Also, I think there must’ve been some Vikings fans there because they kept yellow SKOL! Every time the drank. Don’t they know this is Lion Country???

Anyways, met a cool guy named Producer Chris in the bathroom. We both were going number two and he had some squares to spare. So that was great!“

“Good food. Nice atmosphere. Great service. I especially enjoy Nicole at the bar.“

“I live in Berkeley this is a great neighborhood bar. Best bar Burger for the money. Everything is reasonably priced. Not bougie which is a plus just a great local bar to hang, drink and have great conversation. Everyone is friendly and we love the owner.“

“My husband and I were there for our 1st time Monday night for dinner and drinks and had a great experience. Our waitress was Dana and she did great job. Our food was really good and drinks were made perfectly, The atmosphere was good and overall experience was great and we will definitely be returning. Thank you Dana !!!“

“Great place, great food, great bartender!! Didn’t catch her name, but went in on 3/18 around 4 PM. Will be back!“

“Cool spot, wasn’t overly crowded for a Sunday. I had a nice vibe going.“

“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!“

“Had to update my review, it use to be 1000% positive. Audra had to ruin it on 10/20/2025. When I asked her for my bill, she literally throws the receipt and my credit card at my face. Such rude and disgusting behavior. Yesterday was my last day ever coming back. If you dont like my money, I'll go spend it else where.
Lodge Owners, do better with hiring better people, otherwise they will run that place right to the ground. What a nasty experience that I sure hope nobody else gets to experience“
