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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“The catfish is seasoned to perfection! Fried hard as requested and definitely did not disappoint“

“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.“

“Bri and Tency (don't know how to spell it) are your best waitresses. Very friendly, efficient and gave great recommendations. I have been several times now and had them both with the same consistency. I hope they get the recognition they deserve.“

“Delicious waffle tenders extra tender and juicy“

“Five of us left a convention at the nearby Marriott and dropped in on Sunday for lunch. Friday's is usually low friction, and that held up!
The salads were tasty. The burgers were well cooked. The ribs were a good size. The drinks stayed filled.
Haven't been to a Friday's in a minute, but putting this one on my list to revisit when I'm in the area.“

“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.“

“Was my first time in Churchill’s yesterday, 03/28. Had no idea what to expect, never understood the purpose of the cigar. With that being said, I cannot wait to go back. Our waiter was great, the old fashioned was amazing and that cigar…now I get it!! So relaxing, great atmosphere and with a great tour guide who was also celebrating his birthday. That’s where he wanted to go, I’m sure glad he did!!! Highly recommend!“

“Super fun bar, great service and food!“

“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.“

“We just held a baby shower in the enclosed outdoor Patio at the Troy location, January 18th. Was worried it would be cold since it was in the low 20s outside and windy, but it was wonderful. Staff was wonderful to work with from all the pre-planning with Jenna through the entire staff at the Troy Location. Servers were very attentive to all the guests. Manager worked with us on how and when we wanted the appetizers served, followed by lunch and then dessert. It was a great location for the shower. It was like having it in our own backyard but with service and none of the cleanup! The fireplace with the chairs by it was a great place to display prizes for the guests and a great place for the new mom and dad to open the gifts with everyone being able to see. It was easy to walk around and talk to everyone. We will definitely recommend to our friends for future events.“

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

“This is a typical sports bar, with lots of TVs....great for watching a Tigers game! Teh beer selection was decent, and the staff good....efficient and friendly. The menu is "typical" bar fare; we had some pizza, which was OK for bar food pizza. Not a bad, un pretentious place to grab a drink and watch a game.“

“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!“

“Excellent place to catch a big game. Went there for World Series game 7 and I was concerned they weren't going to have sound for the game. They did! Food is always good here and they pours are satisfactory. Servers and bartenders are mostly nice and attentive. Solid place that we frequent on a regular basis. Well run establishment.“

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

“Food is great and so are the drinks“

“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,“

“On a Saturday night my girlfriend and I wanted to go somewhere close and somewhere simple and we found The coach grill. First thing i saw was how busy and cozy the place seemed right when we walked in. After the staff cleaned a table very quickly and seated us, we looked over the menu. I heard of the famous Ruben sandwich and I wanted to try their wagyu burgers. So we ordered both, it was not a long wait at all...first impression was the Ruben was fresh and delicious and packed with flavor....while being a thick sandwich the bread was toasty and did not turn soggy. The wagyu burger I got with with cheddar and mushrooms was juicy and well made we also got the garlic fries which were hand cut, tasty and hot to the touch.
The staff was very kind and attentive, always checking on us, replacing drinks without being asked and being quick to clean off the table of plates we were done with....but not being pushy in any way.
The vibe was busy but still nice and the music was at a perfect volume,not too loud and the place had a nice style.
I would not only recommend this establishment if you like american bar food but I will definitely be back for that Ruben again“

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

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

“We held a small bridal shower today at the Troy location. We, as organizers live several hours from Troy so had to make arrangements over the phone and sigh unseen. We were very pleased with the cleanliness and welcoming appearance. Rick was wonderful in assisting in every way possible, table set up, reducing the music in the back room, refreshing beverages and more. The food was excellent. And the prices very reasonable. We will definitely hold future events here as they occur.“

“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.“

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

“Here in town from Milwaukee! My husband had the catfish dinner, fish was great! Sides were ok, owner handled that! I appreciate great service…all about righting wrongs! My lamb chop dinner was yummy! Also, Cali is great..that’s my daughter name too! 🥰 She ran the show today! So sweet…and it’s her bday! If I ever come back, I will request you! Thanks Yall!“

“$5.99 burger & fries, with a whiskey sour 👌😌🥃 I’ll definitely be back, and only wish I had stopped in years sooner!“

“We have had the patty melts several times and they are always amazing!! One of the best around.“

“Came across this place on the way home from the airport, the staff was super friendly, the food was bangin’ and the drinks were great! Try the Bloody Mary Pulled Pork! :))“

“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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Wandered in here on a random Friday night. Tapped beer was crisp, fresh and cold. Managed to get a really great burger with fries before the grill closed, and had more fries and cheese sticks before close. For bar food it was really good. 4 stars

The bartender Lex was funny and attentive to her customers without being obnoxious - her service and timing were fantastic. Seemed to have a good rapport with other patrons/regulars. 5 stars

The bar itself is a good size and there's a few tables but there isn't much room otherwise. They did have karaoke after 9 which was fun, but there's not really room to dance to music. The parking lot itself is small and the area is dark but there seemed to be parking out front in the street that was well lit. 3 stars.

If you're looking to talk to people, grab a seat, have some drinks and grab a bite this is good. If you're looking to dance or need a lot of space this might not be it. Recommended to be aware of your surroundings heading to the parking lot after dark.“

“We enjoy to go out. Last night we visited this fine restaurant which friends told us about. We had a lovely experience there with superb cooking and an experienced stuff and a talented chef. We added this restaurant in our list and we will certainly return very soon. We highly recommend.“

“Me my daughter dine at 2111 eight mile road today it was about noon the food was delicious my daughter got the chicken sandwich I got the double crunch shrimp dinner, the waitress was really nice it was clean inside we will be back again.“

“Awesome place! Atmosphere is fantastic, the wait staff is great, and really happy to have found this place.“

“Your manager Shay wonderful she came out to see if everything was OK, really enjoyed the food and service. I will be a repeat customer.“

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

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

“Good place for a quick bite & drinks prior to heading to the comedy club. The food & drinks were good- the service was good for the most part. We paid full price for 7 drinks but when we realized there was a happy hour menu & wanted to try a drink off of it- our waitress mentioned it was 6:00 & too late. We said it’s 5:55. She replied we go by bar time. What? She ended up putting it in but we found it odd after spending $150 in food & drinks up to that point she’d give us grief about getting $4 off a happy hour drink we wanted to try. We’d go back but for sure ask about specials prior to ordering as they weren’t mentioned.“

“Great remodel and incredible food. Good prices, attentive staff. We have added this to our weekly dining schedule.“

“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.“
