“Great selection on NY style pizza, pizza and delicious appetizers. We built our own halal pepperoni pizza and had bruschetta. They offer halal pepperoni and halal chicken. Bruschetta was delicious but pizza was a bit too greasy but the taste was really good. Our waiter was really nice and tried hard to cheer us up after a long weekday.“
“OMG Dave and Amelia are the best mixologist duo. Hubby and I came across Two Birds on google and were impressed with the reviews and photos. Our first visit was nothing short of amazing filled with luxurious and herbaceous cocktails. The atmosphere and vibes in Two Birds was very refreshing. Mature crowd, great music, tasty drinks. We will definitely be coming back as regulars to this establishment. Cheers and Happy Holidays!Tasha & Chad“
“Brought my son and his friends for his birthday. The staff was fantastic! Very friendly and helpful. We had our own table and area for snacks and drinks and they provided all of the plates, cups, and plasticware! We will definitely be back and would recommend for a party or fun night out.“
“Food was phenomenal, drinks were great, service was even better! You can tell their ingredients are fresh and their dough is homemade. We were too busy enjoying the food to remember to take photos so this is all we got. Will definitely come back again!“
“Great music ? food drinks &food ? ? ? ? and service ? ? ? love it.Vegetarian options: Yes. It's good. A couple vegetables options good.Parking: Parking lots is available, but when it's busy....then you'll have to find a parking space elsewhere ? than that parking lot .....FYI. it does get busy.“
“We strongly recommend you try Buddy's Pizza if you haven't had the chance yet. Especially, the gluten-free Pizza crust so soft and yummy! We received prompt and friendly service from beginning to the end of our dinning experience. Martez, our server was a blast and a huge part of our fantastic time there. John from the kitchen helped us out with making formative decisions to meet my childs' dietary health needs. We were a party of 9 but treated like a party of 2 with the efficient, quick and fabulous service. Now if you can open a location in Toronto, Canada tgat would be greatly appreciated. We have a huge community that us missing out on your service and that Amazing gluten-free pizza crust. People are missing out.“
“I've been here twice and both times were so fun. I found the bartenders to be a delight. Our last bartender was knowledgeable about cocktails and made us things not on their menu. It is small but that's part of the charm. The lobby of the hotel is also a cool vibe so when people complain about sitting out there,I don't get it. I would only be annoyed being a hotel guest and NOT being able to sit in the lobby. The drinks aren't cheap but it's for sure a fun stop.“
“Stayed at the Siren for a week....went to Paramita almost every night, as it's directly beside the hotel. Echoing what others have already said, very chill space...great staff, great tunes, and a really well-curated selection of wine, beer and vinyl. I walked away with three albums, one of which is Fela's Zombie album. It was just so cool to pop down there at like 11pm and have a beer and listen to a live DJ. Really good spot.“

“"Absolutely loved my dining experience at this newly renovated restaurant! The atmosphere was fantastic for a cozy dinner, and the cleanliness was impeccable. The staff were attentive and the food was delicious. Will definitely be returning!"“
“Didn't eat anything so I can't rate it but had a couple of drinks which are pricey I ended up paying $30 for 2 drinks which $5 of that was a tip. 2 drinks should never cost $25 regardless of what event is going on. Lots of steps going from the entrance to the bar to the restroom and so on but I liked the feel of the place., when it's closing time it's closing time they want you out and doors closed by 11. All in all it's a good place to check out.“
“No food menu other than a soup of the day made by the barmaids mother. Whatever she feels like cooking, the day we visited is split pea, and not a fan of peas, this was loaded with chunks of ham and potatoes. Very stick to your ribs soup. A shot and a beer rounded out the “meal” the bartender was super friendly even had us sign her up”out of towners” book as we were from Alabama. When you search dive bar this is a go too place. Don’t let the doorbell deter you, or the seedy neighborhood. Stop in and see the “Oldest Bar in Detroit”“
“Detroit Blues Cafe is not just a bar- it's an experience! The best lounge in Detroit. Grown folk Thursday's is my night, have to get there early if you want a seat.To walk into a bar and get instantly greeted with a smile and a cocktail that breathes sophistication is a moment that should be savored.I highly recommend this business. The vibe, the atmosphere, the amazing music, excellent food, the ballroom dancing, and the well-dressed men are some of the highlights. The service is at an exceptional level of professionalism from the wait staff, and cooks, to the security team, consistently. The manager, Amber, is my no-nonsense girl, I just love her!The ambience here is always inviting and comfortable. It's always a treat!“
“Solid place! The food was incredible and the service was above and beyond! The beer and food were top quality and delicious. Charlie, the manager, was welcoming, informative about the beer, food, and his hometown of Detroit! This is a MUST VISIT DESTINATION!!“
“Very welcoming comfortable atmosphere excellent service Best buy I've been to in a long time. They have restaurant quality food. Great drinks. Jamie Brittany Kayla Stacy And Nicole always make sure did everyone has an excellent time. The barbacks make sure the restaurant is clean and the glasses are good. The cooks in the back make excellent food.“
“I ordered a crab boil for the first time yesterday and I’m back here a day later ordering 2 more crab boil bags. Everything was so delicious, lol I couldn’t stop eating. It’s safe to say they are my new favorite place to eat seafood. I also ordered a chicken salad that was awesome as well. Will definitely be back here. Thanks hook&reel.“
“Great place if your into enjoying a good atmosphere and great food at exceptional well low prices . When they have a band it's like it's 2 bars in one as you can still enjoy your normal pub with very little notice other than more people unless you enter the stage part of the bar. Highly recommend this place“
“A group of about 14 of us was there yesterday to watch Lions game. Place was fairly busy with only one waitress and let me tell you WOW. Service was fast, efficient and friendly. Kudos to the chef as well as there was no long wait for it, came out hot and it was delicious. I highly recommend.“
“Cocktail menu is absolutely outstanding, and you can buy everything you need to make them here. Great small grocer selection and awesome local beer selection, great curated selection of liquors and staff Is SUPER helpful and attentive. Great place to start or end a night, and even catch a game.“
“I really enjoyed my birthday dinner here. Our waitress checked on us often. We were greeted with a smile and heartfelt customer service. The ambiance is so unique, it’s incredible. You can tell they take pride in the small details. The only thing was that the food portions weren’t enough to get full off of. But that’s common for this type of cuisine“
“I recently returned to the Hook & Ladder after a long absence, and I was not disappointed. Our large group of friends decided to meet here for dinner and drinks before going to see a live play further up Seminole Street at the Kordazone Theatre. I made some new friends and invited them to join our group. The staff didn’t mind at all when I added two more tables to our grouping to accommodate everyone. My order of pulled pork sliders and fries was delicious and very filling. The coleslaw on the side of my plate was creamy, which was an interesting twist on the usual coleslaw that you get at restaurants. Beers are priced reasonably.“
“This place is my home away from home. I haven't lived in Detroit in almost 20 years, but I still love all the memories and friendships I created in this place. It's the one place I make it a point to visit every time I'm in the D. Great music, fantastic service, and always a good time. If you haven't visited yet, make it a point to drop in.“
“The New York Strip special on Tuesday is fabulous and a great value! Delroy is working the grill and makes your steak to order. Although I am likely in the minority, I love my steak blue rare and Delroy doesn't disappoint. Overall, the bar has a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere and a wonderful group of people who regularly come to hang out.“
“I absolutely love this bar the service is always amazing and the cocktails are spectacular they also have a great wine list, the staff definitely knew what they are talking about and helped us pick out a perfect bottle of rose!! The atmosphere is great for all occasions like a girls night or a date night!! The only thing is that I'm a vegetarian so there's not many food options for me but that definitely doesn't change my opinion in anyway!“
“HIGHLY recommend stopping by. I happened upon it (visiting Detroit) on a rainy night, was pleasantly surprised by the hours, offerings, atmosphere, and the lovely staff. I returned maybe 4 more times over my trip, staff was always lovely. Highly recommend the iced Irish coffees and their drip coffee offerings were always stellar. The little cookies I got were phenomenal. I met the owner the last day and he was very jovial and enthusiastic, talked about the music and how they shift the vibes for Detroit's Opening Day. Thanks y'all!“
“We booked the side room for a small graduation party. Malones was fantastic!The staff was attentive to details and always made sure our guests had what they needed! Our appetizers were plentiful, and our entrees were delicious. We had plenty of positive feedback and look forward to lunch/ dinner or another event there soon!“
“Great historic neighbourhood bar with a tucked away patio and lots of divey charm. Great place for a sunny afternoon pint, dinner, or a night out. They have regular karaoke and live music, and you are bound to have a good time no matter what your scene. It's a local favourite!“
“The crowd is nice on Thursday- Sundays , security plenty of parking and nice birthday party events. The drinks are reasonable and the waitresses be on their job. Like a cheers atmosphere you wanna go where everyone knows your name. Ms Krystal is sweet and loving and people be dressed to impress there. TV's seating 💺 ♥️ people call it a "hole in the wall" but those same people be in attendance "lol They come from all over the city to this place you must get there early on Sunday nights cause DJ Tony Rome be on hot blazing 🔥 fire. Dance, entertainment etc. Everytime my out of town guest / sweetheart comes to visit Detroit she has to come there before she leaves its a must.“
“It's an amazing quiet, and upscale experience. If you need a low key vibe, you can order a glass of wine and a really good appetizer, and pick a good book sit by the fireplace, or have a nice date with conversation. This is the best spot for intellectuals in MHO.“
“Was in the area for a service and a large group of us headed over here after. Played a few games of pool and enjoyed a few mix drinks, bottled beer and draft. All were really good. Service was quick. atmosphere was nice. Seemed more like a local fun hangout then a ritzy place. And I mean that in a great way. We all felt welcome even with a larger group.“
“We’ve lived downtown for a few years and have never made it to this place. Wow. Our loss. This is an amazing bar with the most fabulous unique drinks and the most knowledgeable friendly bartenders. My husband and I had an amazing evening! Can’t wait to go back!“
“We love this place in the summer when the patio area is open. Drinks are always hit or miss, but this time we came and they had the sippin Santa pop up menu which we've had elsewhere and the drinks were fantastic! Bartender told us a lot about the pop up and made great drinks. My husband ordered a whiskey ginger and he used a fresh ginger syrup which took the drink up a notch. Always will be back.“
“I have stopped into JSP many times and have always had a great experience! As a local, they are a go-to for delicious burgers and drink specials.They also have karaoke on Friday nights and fish fry specials including perch and coconut shrimp dinners. I recently ordered a coconut shrimp dinner for carryout and was super impressed! The service is always fast and friendly, even when the place is packed. They are also great for catering!“
“Innovative and well-crafted mixed drinks, warm atmosphere (feels like home), hardy laughs, and good times. Extensive and premier spirits/wine list. Love the choice of side dishes; they make a great paring. You couldn’t go wrong making a trip here!!“
“I had a catered event here and Lisa and the Staff were fantastic! I did a spaghetti buffet dinner with salad and appetizers and the food was amazing. Now I go to Bar Bingo night on Wed on occasion for the food and the fun. I must say best Nachos around as well!“
“Excellent spot. Popped in for a quick lunch and had an incredible arugula salad and a slice of pizza. The team was fast, food was delicious, and Kyle was super hospitable. Definitely stop by and give it a try! Best NY style pizza in Detroit.“
“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!“
“My father, Eddie Mesrey (born in Detroit | 1932–1980), grew up in the house that was once attached to Zell’s. He and his brother, George Mesrey (1930–1978), helped their uncle Michael Mesrey (born in Damascus, Syria | 1899–1993) run the little market that previously occupied this space (circa 1930s – 1960s).Back in the day it was known as Little Mike’s Market.Here’s my great-Uncle Mike and an unidentified E&B spokesmodel inside the market at Charlevoix and Seyburn, circa 1960.“
“It has been over 2 years since we have gone here for dinner. In the past I wasn't overwhelmed with their food, even though they're beer selection is top notch. Glad I let my wife make the call and we went here for dinner.We all ended up getting burgers, and my wife and I both commented that these were the best burgers we have had in a long, long time. Howlers and Growlers is now firmly back in my radar when we want to go out for burgers and a beer.“
“Okay, first of all… open mic’s on Mondays, amazing. All the performers are great! The love for music resonates really well here! Everyone is just here to have a good time and you can feel it! $6 Walkervilles, great deal — great tasting beer.I was getting TOO drunk and needed some food to absorb the alcohol. I noticed they had $6 hot dogs for 1 and $10 for 2 hotdogs. THEY ALSO HAD VEGETARIAN HOT DOGS!I ordered a veggie dog, expecting it to be a plain veggie dog with a bun, no condos. Instead, I got a BEAUTIFULLY CHARRED vegetarian hot dog with the perfect and well balanced amount of ketchup, mayo, Dijon mustard and a nice thick juicy pickle slice!!!! HANDS DOWN… BEST VEGETARIAN HOT DOG I’VE EVER HAD! I was more than impressed, more than satisfied! Thank you Phog for great music, great service, and great food ?“
“Always a great time! If you’re sitting at tables Brittany is one of the best! Alexis and James behind the bar are outstanding as well! Food is always good, drinks are great, service is top tier. Doesn’t get much better than a night at Johnnys!“
“Liz the owner takes care of all the patrons of the Elwood and makes sure everyone is having a good time. The burgers are great, my only detraction is they have no coffee, like no machine at all. It’s disappointing when you want a cup of Joe before the lions game on a cold morning but oh well.“
“Actually had to ask for an itemized bill because it was so much cheaper than I expected I thought they forgot some of our drinks on the bill. Great music and the staff was top notch! Food is just snacks but you can bring in your own take out. Cool “
“Some friends and I went for Funk Night. It was great! The DJs (Frank R. & DJ Head) had us dancing all night. The beer prices were pretty reasonable and the selection was nice. The sound system is good. While it was powerful, it wasn't too loud, so the sonic experience was pleasant.The outdoor area would have been nicer to hang out in were it not so cold. I look forward to going back in the future when we it's warmer.The crowd was okay, but their odor was an issue. A ton of bearded hipsters and drunken hippie-ish ladies. No judgement, but we were only prepared for the music to be funky; not the people.Overall, I'd still go back for Funk Night again.“
“The hotel was having technical difficulties and was unable to assign our room. So they told us that we could have a drink on them. Well we headed to the WXYZ bar to await our room. The bartender was very friendly and helpful. I chose a whiskey sour and he chose a tequila sour. I had never heard of a tequila sour and had a taste of his. It was delicious. And I'm not a tequila drinker. I guess you can put anything with bitters and it will taste good. Haha. We tried some of the Bourbon punch that they offered us but that was a bit on the strong side for me. I did not see anyone ordering food, so I'm not sure if they served food but I don't think they did. They have a bunch of great areas to chill including an outdoor patio area with a great view of the bustling city. They also have a pool table that would be fun if you're in the mood. Our room was soon ready and it was time to check in. If you're in the area check this place out. You don't have to have a room there to enjoy the bar area so don't worry about that. Cheers!“
“The panko breaded perch with the Hawaiian salad was excellent. I love the spaced out relaxed atmosphere where you can enjoy a private conversation. Service was spot on. I also like a restaurant that serves rolls or bread that is specially made served right after you sit down. Nice job.“
“Jimmy G and his crew put on an incredible spread for our son and daughter-in-laws wedding. He was accommodating in every way.Everyone raved about the selection and quality of the food."Best Wedding food ever" was a common phrase from our guest. Thank you Jimmy G!“
“Hubby and I just relocated and are new to town. We stopped in for our first visit and Patty and Justin treated us like regulars. So friendly and such great customer service. We felt very welcomed. The drinks were great and the food was delicious! The double cheeseburger and totchos were impressively scrumptious. The burger was so juicy and one of the best we’ve had in town! We are looking forward to many more great memories at Old Pony. Cheers friends!“
“Owner Ray. Gentleman. Polite. Helpful. Respectful. Nice place. Good food. Clean bar. Clean restrooms. Bartenders polite. nice and helpful.. Ray is a very good pool player (shooter). 5 + Stars. ArmenParking: Very good lighting in rear parking lot behind bar.“
“First and foremost I've only Uber eats here and this is my 2nd visit! Ok, it's hard to find a good BBQ place and this is one of them! It's not those baked ribs like Famous Dave's or smoked like Billy Sims and most places! It almost give u a Nicola's taste maybe if I had to compare. The BBQ sauce for me is GREAT. It's almost identical to my family's recipe! It's not thick and it's like they know it's good because you don't get much lol Bad: there's not much sauce on the meat itself so you're gonna almost always want to order extra sauce. This bread? Baby this bread was delicious! I haven't tasted the baked sweet potato yet but I'm sure it's good as well. I've previously had rib tips. I didn't care for those. There wasn't really any meat and no sauce at all (I asked for it on the side) Now these 2 little containers were 1.25 for xtra sauce lol so let me just make that clear!“
