25 Best Pubs near Utica

“The place was awesome great burgers and extremely great prices. The wait staff was great me and my wife popped in for a beer and some food. We were greeted instantly when we walked in And we had drinks in front of us in about 2 minutes The food was awesome The burgers range from about 8 bucks to 12 bucks depending on what you order. The fries were like five bucks for a whole basket. They also have outdoor seating with a nice patio in downtown Utica which is great. Right down the street from Jimmy John's field. You could definitely sit out on the patio and watch the fireworks when the field is doing them. Could definitely bring children here. Not so much wheelchair friendly as there are a couple steps inside. Although I'm sure you can manage somehow. There are plenty of places to park around the back there's a big lot that you can park in down the road or you can get lucky and get a spot in downtown Utica. The service was fantastic The burgers were cooked to perfection and drinks were ice cold what more could you ask for. I'm definitely recommending this place and we will definitely be back You can't beat it.

Parking: Big lot to park in down the road or you can get lucky find a spot behind shamrocks or park right on downtown Utica Street

“The food and drinks were good, love the beer choices, enjoyed the atmosphere, and our waitress Jenna was so sweet, hardworking, and gave exceptional service!“

“Cool idea, great beer selection. Website is nearly unusable, needs major improvement.“

“Stopped in after a long day on the road to meet a brother. Waiter was unlike anyone I had before. Great service, and the wings were very flavorful! I may next time ask to have them double dropped, but they were very good! Fries were not normal bar fries and good as well. Will definitely add as a ride stop and bring the family! Definitely impressed me!

Kid-friendliness: Many kids were in with their parents.“

“Awesome“

“Nice place for a quiet beer and conversation with a local or two. Weekends aren't too busy so there's always room for one more. Friendly staff, good prices and a good variety of spirits and beers to choose from. Offer keno and several TV locations to view games.“

“We have been Hamlin Pub customers for years and have always taken advantage of their rewards card. Now that they have canceled it and moved to tracking rewards electronically we find it cumbersome if not impossible to use. Even our waitress could not get it to work. Why make something so easy to use complicated?“

“I went to Kruse’s Paint Creek Restaurant for the first time today. I had excellent service from LeAnn M. who went out of her way to accommodate my garlic allergy. The food and and service were excellent. Leann is a gem. She is professional, kind, and knowledgeable!“

“They have karaoke! That’s the best part!“

“Awesome place with good food and occasional car shows. Recommend anyone to try it“

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

“I took my two son’s here today. My youngest has autism and others’ kindly describe him as “a handful.” Accurate. The server comes over and asks for our drinks. She brings them back and my son just throws the cup across the aisle. And then laughs. Autism is super fun like that. Lauren (the server) was super nice about the mess. Another female server cleaned up the milk. They were both very understanding and it helped so much - probably more than they realize! I tipped them both but I hope a manager sees this, because, they are awesome employees!! You’re lucky to have them!“

“I wish I took a picture, but it wouldn’t have even been adequate to how good this place’s food is. Trent was our server and his taste in food was SPOT ON. Exactly what we were looking for. We ordered fried pickles, my husband had the truffle burger with truffle fries & I had the shrimp ravioli (suggested by Trent). Everything was delicious!! I highly recommend Trent & giving this place a try! We will be back!“

“Great food and friendly staff. Will definetly be back soon.“

“Fun time meeting people. Great food and drinks.“

“Best spot in Sterling Heights! Owner is amazing and the people are the kindest around“

“I really enjoy the Mug Pub. Almost all of their dishes are great, but since they reopened after the fire, the portion sizes have noticeably shrunk. It could be a combination of factors like COVID and inflation, but it’s definitely something to note. They have a new dish called the hamburger steak, which is excellent—just watch out for the onions! I’m also a big fan of their wings. The drinks and atmosphere are very nice, and they have a lovely outdoor patio. It’s a great neighborhood bar with a decent menu, and the drinks are solid as well. The staff has always been nice and pleasant. There are tons of TVs for watching games, etc. For what it is, the food is generally above average, though a bit pricey for what you get. That said, I’d still recommend it.“

“Everything was great! Taylor was a pleasure to have wait on us.“

“Fun times, lots of laughs, good music and great French Onion Soup! Shout out to our server, Kaley ⭐️“

“Casual, fast, friendly service. Fun!“

“I wish our server knew more when it came to a few questions I had but what we ordered was all delicious. We had a bit of everything. Sushi was so good. We were surprised. Their seafood paella was tasty and a good amount. I liked their lobster bisque soup too.“
