“Never missed a St. Patty's Day Celebration yet. Going on 20 years. On the Historic Registry. Live music on the weekends. Friendly people all around. Every now and then, you'll see the original owner Nancy having a drink with old friends. Great history, great city and sports.Parking: Now owned by Steven's Family and doing a great job.“

“I walked over from the Greektown parking garage and went here prior to the Red Wings game on 2/27/2024. The two young ladies working behind the bar and also out on the floor were very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Tom, the shuttle bus driver, was terrific. I'll definitely be back!“

“Had a great time with a couple of my friends. The bartender was very respectful and attentive and even though the card machine went down he let us leave to continue our amazing night meeting with our other friend. The bartender was very friendly and I look forward to returning and paying the tab I was unable to pay and buying one of their shirts in my size“

“We came to Detriot to see the NCAA D1 National wrestling tournament. We stopped in and had a great time. The beer, food, and environment were wonderful and we give them 5 stars. Look forward to coming back. Mechanicsburg PA folks“

“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.“

“We absolutely love this place. Probably the best priced, best atmosphere, best people in the park. They have darts and as of late, pinball. Outdoor patio for dogs that is heated in wintertime. And the bartenders are always the kindest. A must see!“

“A great "Cheers" vibe is always felt here.Always good conversation throughout the bar.They do numerous events each month.E.g. bourbon tastings, taco events, DJ nights, etc.Amazing service with great prices is sincerely appreciated!!“

“My girlfriend and I were in town for a concert this weekend and stopped in for brunch before heading home. We wanted to visit another spot but they had a a near two hour wait and after driving around, we found Grand Trunk Pub. Thankfully they had people dining on an outside patio area they created because we probably wouldn't have noticed. We sat on the patio and I have to admit, I'd never done that in the City of Detroit. It was a great day for it too. The food was really good. I got the Chorizo Breakfast Burrito. It was ok and probably not something I'd get again (I'm picky about my chorizo.) but looking at their menu there were lots of good sounding options. My girlfriend got the Chicken and Waffles and we got the Reuben wantons. We loved them! And the Bloody Mary she ordered was insane! I'm still floored that it had a mini grilled cheese on it and a strip of thick cut bacon with it. As usual, parking is always a PITA in Detroit but if you're looking for a place, give them a shot.“

“Had an amazing time last night the staff was amazingthe people that were there were very nice the crowd that it brought in was pretty cool it was my friend's birthday last night so we had a birthday get-together it was definitely a nice highly recommend going there decent price drinks easy to find nice location great music good peopleFlint mob heart attack through down last night as always 0 fluxxs also threw down was my first time there definitely won't be my last hoping to see what the prices are to do further venues there and rent up the upstairs which is called the attic so there's a bad downstairs and also a like DJ setup and venue set up upstairs which is called the Attic definitely recommend for any kind of birthdays or get-togethersnot quite sure what the prices but I'm sure it was decent enough price to where you could make profits it also has above stairs that you could shut up and sell liquor from when you're doing your venue thank you for the amazing and we'll be seeing you“

“Ordered the Greek omelette which came with a side of potatoes the food was cooked to absolute perfection. The potatoes were nice and crispy but nowhere near over done. The wait time to receive your food was very minimal as well therefore adding another positive thing to the overall experience .The waitress was very pleasant and attentive and overall gave great customer service.Can't wait to go back.“

“Currently, my favorite watering hole downtown (one of several for sure). I can't get enough Elephant Juice and 313 IPA. Even better if you bring a traditional Mitsos gyro with you (across the street). The gods must be crazy putting so much decadence so close together.“

“Clean, welcoming and cold beer. You could call it a hole in the wall, but it's more than that when you step inside. Your welcomed by everyone in the bar and you'll definitely feel at home after just a few minutes...few places like this place.“

“Had a wonderful experience at this cozy downtown bar! Best customer service and delicious food! Highly recommend this lovely restaurant for drinks and food!!“

“Great place to hang out in Detroit. Friendly staff, good food, live music and fun venue with good people.“

“Authentic and historic gathering place offers a wide variety of cultural activities in addition to a fun pub atmosphere with the cheapest drinks in town. Worth your $25 annual membership for that alone. They put the "Cork" in Corktown for over 100 years “
