50 Best Bars near Utica

“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.“

“Great place to hangout with friends or just grab a beer by yourself. Beers are well priced and their food is top notch.“

“The Locker Room Saloon will always hold a special place in our hearts—my husband and I actually met here back in 2018, and we’ve been locals ever since! We love coming here for a fun night out. The atmosphere is incredible—you can even stand on the bar stools and drum with drumsticks, which is such a blast. The drinks are great, the staff is always fun, and the music makes it the perfect party spot. Fargus, the DJ, is awesome—he always takes requests and keeps the vibe going with the best music. A huge shoutout to Liz and her husband, the owners, who are so accommodating and truly make us feel like family every time we walk in. This is one of our absolute favorite local spots, and we highly recommend it if you’re looking for a lively, fun night out!“

“first time participating in drag queen bingo- Soo much fun! A room full of love, joy, laughter, and happiness! thank you queens for being a ray of sunshine in this world“

“Great food options for a smallish bar. There is a chef there during week (Tues-Fri?) who offers handwritten menu of specials. We had the baked meatballs (delicious) and the Cajun shrimp scampi (added more heat). One of our favorite places for smaller group dinners!“

“I came in expecting the usual dive bar scene — sticky floors, cheap beer, neon signs buzzing in the corner. Instead, Rachael and Amy treated me like I had just bought the place. I ordered a regular draft and somehow it felt like they had tapped a keg exclusively in my honor.

Halfway through my second beer, Rachael joked about “opening a tab,” but what really happened is Amy slid me a crisp stack of bills and told me not to worry about it — like the bar itself was sponsoring me. By closing time, when most people were stumbling toward their Ubers, they casually mentioned my private helicopter was waiting out back behind the dumpsters. They then flew me across Italy.

If you want five-star luxury while drinking a $3 domestic, this is the only bar on earth where that’s possible. Dive bar? Maybe. But with Rachael and Amy behind the counter, it feels like Buckingham Palace with better beer.“

“I’ll have to say one of the best bar burgers. Wings are very good too.“

“Where do I even start! This is hands down, the premier cigar bar! I’ve gone to a few others and they don’t compare to DCs. Chris and Donny (owner) has done an incredible job. First off, the ventilation. On a packed night, the place isn’t even overly cloudy or smokey, great ventilation. Their humidor also offers a great selection of cigars at affordable prices. Next the food. Everything in the menu is top notch and other very affordable. The steak bites, deviled eggs, burgers, fries, everything, 5 out of 5. Now, the atmosphere, unlike any other cigar bar. It’s classy, looks good, clean, and always has a great mix in music and tv selection. They also have a hell of a drink selection, very impressive. Lastly, the staff. I’ve become a regular over the last six months and have had the pleasure to work with some of the best in the business. Sarah and Rheanna are amazing, they don’t get any better than these two! They’re friendly, treat you like they’ve known you for years, professional and know their business. Most would say they do this for the tips, they don’t. They do it because that’s just who they are, just friendly and sweet. Joe is also one hell of a guy! Everybody on the staff makes time for you. The moment you walk in, they greet you by name. They have an incredible staff, that’s what keeps you coming back. Thank you all for making this place a great spot to sit down and enjoy a night out, whether a date night, a guys night out or even just a solo night to grab a drink and a cigar! Rheanna, Sarah and Joe will keep you coming back. I would rate DCs staff a 6 out of 5. Thank you for making this a comfortable and fun escape from everyday life!“

“The staff is awesome! loved the beer and the Tuesday special pork tacos!“

“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.“

“It was a very enjoyable dining experience as always at this raw bar. Great selection of fresh oysters. Oysters Rockefeller were delicious. Oyster stew was good to the last swab of my bowl with Muirs’ homemade bread. Never made it to an entree. Service was above and beyond as always. Last night restored our faith in dining out. Absolutely none of the food or service issues that we seem to incur almost everywhere lately. We will return soon. A special thank you to Calli and the other raw bar shuckers.“

“we came in yesterday for a little family dinner. Danny, our server, was newly back to work at Pronto and I've never seen a server work so hard to accommodate people and ensure we were well cared for. the entire staff and clientele were so kind and encouraging. I spent most of the meal examining the lighting fixtures (there are so many!!!), and our family searched for disco balls (also SO MANY!). The food was amazing and the service was fast. we took our 14 year old there for dinner because they needed to see that there are safe, public spaces for them - and the awe and amazement in their eyes the whole time told me that we found our new "regular" spot. the music was fun, the service was spectacular, and the entire vibe was just lovely. and as a lighting nerd, they play with light beautifully, even during a routine dinner service. to the staff at Pronto - particularly Danny - thank you. as a mom trying to figure out how to best parent a child who isn't like me, you gave me immeasurable gifts last night. you gave my child hope for a future as an adult. we love the local youth programming available but it lacks a connection to adults who are thriving and living full, beautiful lives. seeing that in action was everything our kid needed and so much more. thank you.“

“Great little corner bar! Check it out!“

“They have good time atmosphere
Karaoke on Saturday nights at 9 pm
Pool tables an darts
Drink specials and Don’t have to drink to have a time no pressure
Welcoming all around meaning even the food available a prepared may a few first time visitors feel like we weren’t

Thank you for such kindness you all“

“I love this place. Their tacos are absolutely delicious. Queso and chips and their wings were really good as well. this is my go to place when I need tacos though.“

“I was served a Heineken that had a broken top on it two times. I noticed the first time and told the redhead. She served me another one and put the broken glass beer bottle on the counter instead of dumping it. A blonde dreadhead served me the same warm broken bottle later on when I didn't even ask for another beer. I took a sip of it without noticing it was the same bottle from earlier and it cut my lip. When I brought this up to the redhead , she started yelling at me and telling me to not talk to her sideways. She then charged at me to attack me. Multiple patrons had to hold her back multiple times. I am owed an apology and the owner should find better help on Sundays.“

“Dublin Donkey drink was awesome.“

“Nixie and Matt were a joy! We came in and Nixie was great, she let us move seats away from the door and was very attentive. The bad habit and chicken bacon ranch were our favorites. Matt suggested we try the bad habit with brisket and it was sooo good! 10/10“

“Just had the Mexican Smash Burger, it was excellent! The best burger I've had in a while.“

“For a great night out good food and great bands“

“The perfect, laid back place to enjoy amazing food and delicious cocktails! I am obsessed with the pineapple mule, the make their own infused pineapple vodka. The live jazz on Thursdays is the perfect reason to make this a weekly visit!“

“Our usual date night choice! And everything was perfect again tonight, just like always! Dianna was a great waitress! I wanted to talk to the manager & tell them how great she was. But we had ro get going! We definitely recommend this location!“

“Our favorite restaurant when we come to Royal Oak! Great food without breaking the bank for a date night.“

“Terrible service from the short blonde behind the bar! Went in with some friends and we were ignored the first fifteen or so minutes we were there. When she finally took our order, one of the drinks was made wrong and when my friend said something the same bartender had a bad attitude! First and last time we go there!“

“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!“

“Love the live music with Tony!“

“Comfortable and genuinely inviting atmosphere and very hard working staff. Not super fancy and that's a good thing. This is a spot you can meet friends for a drink, grab some affordable and good food, and actually relax. Truly a hidden gem

Vegetarian options: Salad, fries, and drinks 👍

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible“

“Dinner last week was great! Our waitress Annabelle was fantastic! Place was busy, but she gave great individual attention and fast drinks ❤️ we will be back!“

“I try to go every weekend. Giovanna is the best. She knows my iced coffee order and has it made before she even hits our table. I always ask for her. Never had a bad meal. The breakfast potatoes are to die for. Everything on the menu is great. Have never had a bad or cold meal.“

“I never believed I would be healed of HPV someday. I almost gave up until I came across a forum were people were testifying of Dr Agbomian cure for hpv so I decided to give it a try it only took two weeks of me taking the remedy Dr Agbomian sent me and I was completely cured from hpv. I want to let everyone out there suffering from any kind of disease at all to contact Dr Agbomian. You can reach him through Whatssap +2349153314157 for your own cure too. He also cure Cancer and diabetes too.“

“Fantastic sports bar that has been in this historic building since the 1890's.
Warm comfortable interior to play a game or bet on the lotto.
Don't be fooled by the plain appearance of the outside stop in for great food. Fish and Chips is the best and they have been know for it for decades. Also burgers are top notch. Prices are still reasonable.
Take the time to check out this long lived Macomb Co. Local favorite.“

“Casual, fast, friendly service. Fun!“

“This place is very cool. You don’t have to worry about running out of coins or credits ect. A wristband at a very reasonable price gets you all the playing you could ask for! There are lots games to choose from. The best part is that the people who work there are so kind. They deserve good business! 🩷“

“My boyfriend and I came in here and this is definitely a hidden gem, a cozy place you can get a drink and not have to yell to have a conversation or place an order. The manager Marty is so nice and made us feel at home. Definitely coming back!“

“Food was amazing as well as service!!!!“

“My husband and I live just down the road from Mug Pub, and it’s become one of our favorite local spots! We love the fun, lively atmosphere, the fantastic drinks, and the friendly staff. The food is great too. We highly recommend Mug Pub for anyone looking for a fun sports bar experience!“

“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...“

“great service, great food“
