50 Best Sports Bars near Utica

“This place is surprisingly good! I was impressed with my server Alicia, she did an outstanding service for me and my family. I was spectical at first ( being our first time). When my 5 year old spilled his water she was so fast to clean it up. i apologize so many times and she was just so sweet the whole time. ( tip her extra). The food came out hot, and my husband really loved his tacos. This is definitely a Family friendly restaurant. Definitely coming back for my Daughter’s birthday. Outstanding restaurant overall.“

“Went early so the place was empty, clean and fun. Kitchen is closed for renovations tho so don’t go expecting wings.“

“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.“

“Chicken Bella and The Proper burger were both amazing. The Ahi Tuna is NOT worth $22, seeing as it's mainly just a cabbage salad, with like 7 pieces of tuna. Although, the dressing on it was great. Margaritas were okay. The host that took our drink order was very blah, wouldn't look at us, smile, asked drinks and walked away. We weren't sure if she was our waitress or not, she set waters down and just walked away, would have been nice to be told that she wasn't our server so we weren't confused. But also, not a huge deal. Server was awesome, super friendly, and quick with service but patient when we asked if we could take our time. They stayed on top of pre-bussing the table, which is always appreciated. Definitely will be back!“

“We held our private event in the enclosed patio at Firebird in Troy. The patio was heated and decorated to look like a lodge. All of our guests felt like they were in a homey environment. The food and the service was impeccable. Our guests were so pleased at the attention to detail and the promptness of the serving staff. The event manager, Jenna, made the entire planning process easy and stress free. She helped us set up our buffet menu and was there day of assisting in decorating and making sure everything was in order. I would highly recommend hosting a private event here and plan to do so myself for future events!“

“I can name multiple servers at the hub who have made my experiences at the hub BETTER than Great! The hub is a bar I will go to frequently and also encourage others to experience. I’ve never had a “bad” hub experience. The hub is the ultimate and I genuinely have built friendships here. If you’re thinking about trying out the hub, think no more and Do it!! This is your sign !!“

“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!“

“I went to Jimmy's during on March 20th to watch NCAA games. Lisa was my bartender. She was great. She put on the games for me. I asked her to make me a Spanish coffee and looked it up so she can make it for me. She did a good job with that. I had soup and a tuna melt both were very good and satisfying. I totally recommend this place and I will be back.“

“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!“

“It’s family. But better food.“

“Where to begin… the food, customer service, and game nights? It’s all a win! Theo and Franz have been my server the last few weeks during the Lions games. They are both so nice and quick to get drinks out. Next, the food, food specials for the lions game, plus drink and food combos/deals. Their regular food menu is already amazing. The kitchen manager Bill, makes the BEST egg rolls weekly, changing it up and me trying every new one has been amazing. Jay the general manager, is always checking in on the tables and does a raffle for lions jerseys!! Leah the bartender is simply the best, my favorite bar 💗
UPDATE:
After coming here for all the Lions game this season, as well as coming back for the amazing staff. I decided to have my college graduation dinner here on Saturday. Bill, made a custom menu that catered to all the taste buds my family has. Homemade mac and cheese, Alfredo were amazing. Pulled pork sliders and the meatballs were out of this world. Bill has the talent to amaze his customers and that is why we keep coming back. Jay, the gm is seriously the most caring and helpful person making sure his staff and customers are always taken care off. Thank you to Cjs pub for making my graduation so memorable!“

“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!“

“You can't go wrong here. Great menu, many choices and food is always delicious ? Drinks were tasty too. Atmosphere here is fun, too. Many tvs to catch a sporting event but not overpowering for conversation to be had. Many seating choices, too! Check them out, you wont be disappointed!“

“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 atmosphere!“

“Hayes Social is the place to go for drinks or dine in or have your party!
Birthday, Christmas, Work, Family reunions and game day parties can all be held here. The owner and staff are so nice and accommodating. The FOOD is AMAZING! We had over 75 guests at my husband birthday party and we served pizza, wings and appetizers. Everyone LOVED everything! Many compliments about the food from our family and friends! The food, staff, service and room we held his birthday party in exceeded all expeditions! Prices were very affordable. So many big screens tv’s! Great atmosphere for any occasion. We all had such a great time watching the game while celebrating my husband’s birthday! Most important, my husband had a great time!!
Best food, service and atmosphere!

“It's been years since we've stopped in for dinner and a drink.it was Clancy's back then. I love the big garagedoor windows. Staff was pleasant and timely. Great atmosphere. My burger was awsome, husband enjoyed his fish dinner.“

“Had to travel an hour to get to Costco for the last 12 Montepulciano wine in the state! Then we stopped at The Coach Grill on the way home and I had the absolute best corned Beef Sandwich I have ever had anywhere! The Burgers were prime meat and delicious! Best ever! Will not miss this Burger and a Beer Resteraunt next trip to Madison Hts!!!!“

“I love this place Applebees is the best. Warren Mi 12 mile“

“We hosted a holiday party at Shields of Troy yesterday and we couldn't be more pleased. The food was delicious, the service was great, and everyone had a good time. Thank you to Shields!“

“Took our first trip to this place just last night. Has a little bit of everything for those not looking to stay seated during dinner. Food took forever though and was decent. Waitress was a little lost with constantly asking our table of 6 what they ordered and whose drink went with whose order. Other than that the atmosphere was pretty cool. We played some cornhole, which was decently priced by the hour ($10). Plus they had classic arcade games, free to play like Ms Pac Man, Galaga, Frogger, and Donkey Kong along with 90’s classics like Mortal Kombat, NFL Blitz and House of the Dead. Plus over a dozen pinballs. Arcade area was a sight to see since most places now use carnival or ticket games. They also had a poker room which was full. Did not see any pool tables, darts or disc golf so not sure if those get removed during poker night. I’d consider coming back but not during their busier times. It was more than half capacity but id imagine an even further delay on food or your wait staff being really lost handling more than 20 orders at multiple tables. Either way I’d recommend it as long as you aren’t really hungry going in or don’t like huge crowds.“

“Our Son’s wedding was at the hall tonight. First let me tell you the food was amazing! Our family received so many positive comments about the food. It was refreshing! We had the Salmon and the Beef Short Ribs Asparagus and potatoes. Do not hesitate to book your event here! Such a great time!!“

“Game Day at CJ Mahoney's
With no way to catch the big game at home, CJ Mahoney's was the perfect destination. Nestled in a cozy booth, we had our own personal TV, the perfect setup for an immersive viewing experience.

We kicked off the game with a classic Supreme Pizza, a cheesy, saucy delight topped with a colorful array of ingredients. While she sipped on a couple of refreshing 7 and 7's, I opted for a crisp Diet Coke. Later, we indulged in a flavorful cheese Quesadilla, a cheesy, crispy treat that hit the spot.

Despite the packed house, the staff handled the crowd with impressive efficiency. They were friendly, attentive, and kept our drinks flowing.

CJ Mahoney's has become our go-to spot for game day. The combination of great food, friendly service, and a lively atmosphere makes it a winner in our book.“

“We just left from my engagement party and I couldn’t even wait to leave a review because it was so phenomenal. Chris, his kitchen crew, Nikki the manager and John our server went above and beyond today with an unforgettable experience for me, my fiancé and our family to celebrate our engagement. Words cannot describe how thankful I am for these amazing and incredible individuals. Our food was absolutely delicious and so flavorful, drinks were on spot and their hospitality was excellent. We had chicken, pasta salad, Mac and cheese, pretzel bites and meatballs I recommend every single one of these items. PHENOMENAL. There was never a moment they were not around if we needed anything and were so quick to return. (VERY attentive) This was all of our first times here and we will definitely be coming back for regular lunch or dinner service or for future events. Thank you CK Diggs Staff for an unforgettable night!!!! 100/10!!“

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

“Great food. Nice atmosphere. Nice servers. The owner is awesome and doesn't put up with people who want to start drama. 5 stars!!!!“

“Vast variety of wine and cocktails. There is something for everyone from drinks to food. The menu will not disappoint.“

“Great meal! Great service! Lisa & team were awesome!“

“My favorite place to sing a song and enjoy randoms that are kind. This bar is kind of a dive but not really. You will drive passed it and think it’s a biker bar, but it’s not. It’s very chill and I’ve never had a bad experience here. Come here and chill.“

“We had a party of 6 on Sunday everyone in their was very friendly the food and drinks were excellent the service was great the place was clean they had plenty of parking and the prices were reasonable I would recommend this place to anyone and we had a good time and I would go back again“

“Over 5 stars recommend!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The atmosphere, staff, and food was all phenomenal at Whiskey Rae's! The smell, taste and love in the food. It's gourmet homemade food with a twist 🤌 Much respect and appreciation for the Chef Drew. Excellent hospitality and service from our down to earth server Isla!“

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

“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.“

“Stopped by for lunch.Food and service was excellent. I will always come back.“

“we like it we spent 80$ on 4 meal and pop and 2 drinks“

“💃🕺Rob Mob was awesome at Nicky D’s!“

“Perfect hangout spot! With a diverse bar selection, live entertainment, karaoke nights, delicious food, top-notch service, pool, darts, and a lively atmosphere, it's a super fun place. If you're looking for a guaranteed good time, look no further than Jamboozies!“

“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.“

“love this bar . So clean and always a friendly place to be“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Food & Friendly Service at Applebee’s!

Had a great experience at Applebee’s! The food was fresh and flavorful—I ordered the Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp, and it was perfectly seasoned. The service was friendly and attentive, though the wait time was a bit longer than expected. The atmosphere was cozy, making it a great spot for a casual dinner. Overall, a solid choice for good food and a relaxed dining experience.

Would definitely come back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I really like this bar and the people who work here. They are very attentive and do what they can to make things right for you. The food is very good. They will accommodate you with substitutions. For example I didn't want meat on my cobb salad so they put shrimp on it for me instead. Shout out to Matt! He's always on his toes. I totally recommend this place for get togethers, date night, hanging out with friends or even going solo.“

“Had a family celebration and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. Our waiter Grant did duty above and beyond. The hostess was helpful in finding a table that could accommodate us and the menu provided something for everyone. A wonderful evening“

“My kind of place. Older crowd. Friendly staff and the food was wonderful. We ordered the Steak sizzler meals and they were cooked exactly the way we asked. Played some keno and listened to the band. Very nice night. Less than $50 for me and my wife.“

“Not really much of a sports bar person in the past, and I have lived in Royal Oak for years and just started coming here. The service is always really great, but because it’s so popular sometimes it can get very busy, it’s a great place to watch a Lions game hockey game, etc. The staff is always been extremely personable, and the owners are almost constantly there. Definitely a place that cares about the product they are putting out, The pizza and the cheese sticks are delicious. I will literally die if the cheese sticks ever go away. Definitely an old school bar where you can actually speak to people and meet new people pretty much at any age group. Definitely not the norm for downtown Royal Oak.. Some of the other reviews sound like they’re probably from people who aren’t used to being in public.. I would definitely recommend checking this place out.“

“Came here for dinner and the burgers were so good! My friend and I had a great experience. We will definitely be back. The owner was very kind as well!“
