“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“Attended a private event there but the ambient was pretty nice... It was mostly people ink know but still lol

The crew was very attentive , we all enjoyed this venue. Is well located within royal oak sonylu know the drill for the parking. 😆“

“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.“

“Came here for a quick dinner with some of my girlfriends after my wedding dress fitting, and it was the perfect spot. The lobster bisque was absolutely delicious, and the menu offered plenty of variety with lots of great options to choose from. We each tried different chef selections, and everyone loved both their food and drinks. I especially appreciated the thoughtful mocktail menu for anyone not drinking but still wanting something special. The service was friendly and very attentive, which made the experience even better. I would definitely go back!“

“Mackenzie's Tavern is a wonderful local drinking and dining experience with something for everyone. The owner and staff are very friendly and efficient in their service. The tavern has a very extensive seafood menu towards the end of the week like Thursday and Friday and sometimes Wednesdays. The rest of the time the tavern has a very good bar food type menu featuring Burger or some such. The only day that the kitchen is not open is Sundays when you can bring in your own food or have it delivered. The tavern has a breakfast service that goes from opening till around lunch time and the omelettes are huge and fill you up. You can watch most local sports there and the tavern features an 85-in TV that is surprisingly large for the size of the tavern.“

“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!“

“Clean bar. Lots of dart boards, but lots of league play too. Stopped in on a Friday and stayed till close; no problem with an available board. 3 pool tables, not too crowded. Didn't have any food while there so won't rate. Had karaoke(I'm not a fan)while I was there; didn't interrupt dart games or pool tables.“

“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.“

“Good service with Amanda Very nice and absolutely stunning super hot“

“I order fairly regularly the tacos and chips and dips. All have been quite flavorful and delicious. I've been less impressed by the bowls and burritos as in general all can be overpowered by sauces. Great rewards program gives discounts and points often. The interior is fun but this store is a bit dark on the interior making it hard to read menus. Service is friendly and standard for service these days. Easy online ordering and pickup. Overall great if your looking for more American-styled Mexican food with punchy flavors.“

“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“

“would stop in there all the time for a beer and a burger“

“Love the live music with Tony!“

“Great food, service, and always has great bands playing there.“

“The food was fantastic and the service was outstanding.“

“Dublin Donkey drink was awesome.“

“Great atmosphere, delicious drinks and our bartender Brandon was awesome!! Definitely recommend this place!“

“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 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!“

“Service was fast - very good poached fish and battered fish -all you can eat for $16.97!“

“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!“

“We hosted our baby shower at D’Amato’s in December, and it was absolutely fabulous from start to finish. It’s such an amazing spot for a private, intimate event—we had around 50 guests, and the space was perfect. The entire process was seamless, the food was unbelievable, and the staff truly went above and beyond to make the day special. Everything exceeded our expectations, and our guests are still talking about how wonderful it was. I would highly recommend D’Amato’s for any special occasion!“

“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.“
