5 Best Dive Bars near Southgate

“One of the best divey spots in Downriver. Always a good time here. 1 pool table, some tables, and a long bar. Karaoke on the weekends is always a hit. Cheap, strong drinks and the bartenders always kill it. The bathrooms are tiny and usually smell like sewage but hey, I expect nothing less from a tiny, old bar. Parking can be a pain here as the lot is super small so just be mindful of that on a busy night.“

“I loved this small venue just outside of Detroit! The food was pretty much your basic bar stuff, but they had some pretty cool beer choices. I actually ordered some ice cream nachos just for the experience of it. Loved the bands and the vibe. The bathrooms were clean, and the staff was cool.“

“Beautiful odds and ends for the decor inside, I love its rugged look, but it's still very clean. I went on suggestion for the Tuesday night open deck to play a couple of my vinyls. It was my first time being a DJ, I had such a fun time! I had a couple Angry Orchards and the bar tender was lovely and very patient~♡“

“Legendary neighborhood bar, great picture of vanishing way of life. Plenty of space for welcoming a tour bus, plenty of intimacy to relax for a couple of hours. We visited the cigar room which has some amazing artifacts of century+ of its existence. No food but up to date drink menu, including NA beers and liquor.“

“This is my favorite dive bar of all time. The only negative is that it's a VERY small place, but that adds to the character. Knowledgeable and friendly bar service, great selection of music, incredible prices. You gotta be there on a Saturday night.“
