We tried this bar right before the shut down and we were very disappointed.... Cash only is fine but they could make more if they except credit cards. When we walked it we got a hard stare at by the employees, maybe because we were not the regulars and it was our first time. Something better than "need I.D's" as the first thing the bartender says to us would of been nice. We understand when a bar is busy the bartenders are running around helping every one but there was not many people there and I had to raise my hand up just to get the bartenders attention for another round. Poor service in my opinion. Will not be going back. read more

OK this is a crazy unique bar that everybody should hunt out as it is not easy to see and find but worth your time for a cheap drink jukebox music and old-fashioned atmosphere. Cigar bar in back. read more

I love this bar. We went on an Inside Detroit OFF the Beaten Path Bar tour for a 40th birthday. This bar has so much character- the tin ceiling, stained glass liquor cabinets and the back room are unbelievably cool. The owner is the sweetest, nicest bar owner that I have ever met. If you are in the area you should definitely try going here!!! read more

This is what neighborhood bars are supposed to be. Abick's has a great, old time, clean interior, plenty of TVs, and cold Stroh's. It's definitely an out of the way that's worth checking out and grabbing a beer or two at least once. My only disappointment is that I don't live closer. read more

Abick's is an institution. It has history. It has family. It has old men. I've been to many Detroit bars, but this is one where you immediately feel at home. The staff is incredibly friendly and sweet. Despite how small it looks when you walk in, there are 2 other rooms in back, a cigar/scotch room which gives the old bar smell when you walk in. Up until a few months ago, Manya, the owner, was there. She recently passed away but her legacy lives in the bar. I hope this bar stays open another 107 years. Go. Visit. Support your local bars. read more

Ok guys. This is an adventure. It's a neighborhood bar totally off the beaten path. If you like to go where locals go this place is for you. If you're searching for something comfortable and chainy screw off. We came on a Sunday night and had to be buzzed in. There was a giant mastiff barking from the inside. We still decided that we needed a drink. It was totally worth it. Great local experience. Ask the bartender about Michigan lefts. read more

Such a friendly Detroit bar! Love the family feel of the bar. Patrons and employees alike have always been very welcoming and social. They keep it a cash bar because it's always been a cash bar. So unless you're 109, this bar has been rocking since before you were born... even through prohibition. The bartender, Eric, has been keeping this place alive. It's been in his family for generations and he treats you like you're a part of his family. There are plenty of games including video darts where you can play against any bar across the country (maybe even world). Always good drink specials and good people. read more

We were eating at Johnny Noodle King and watching their slide show of famous Detroit places and Abick's came up. Abick's? I wasn't familiar with it. Well, it's only been around since 1907, so I can see how I missed it. So, I put it on my list of places to go......that night. Well, my wife is a wimp. Really. She won't go out of our house if there's a bunny on the lawn. Too scared. And, Abick's is not your typical bar. She thought we were going to get in trouble walking into someone's house. So, we didn't go in. Then, I had her read all the Yelp reviews about how nice and friendly it is. We tried again. This time, success. In fact, she loved it. It's a nice, relaxed bar that looks and feels homey, but the terrazzo floors show it was built for its current purpose. The cigar room had nice comfy couches, and no smokers, so we hung out in there a while. My wife was making friends with Kit, the bartender. I tried to make friends with the dog, but the dog wasn't much interested. If you have never been to Abick's you must go.....tonight! It's a Detroit institution and if, like me, you somehow have missed it, it's time to go. You will love it. read more

Another cool old time Southwest Detroit watering hole. Beautiful interior which has changed little over the years. Friendly as can be and very cheap drink prices. You're not going to get a "craft beer" here, but that's not the point. Drinking a Strohs and shooting some pool is more like it. read more

The people here are the best part of this bar. One of Detroit's hidden gems that is off the beaten path. I love a fine dive and this place is one of them. Good pool table, History and Cigar room and the bar is a was manufactured by Stroh's which is super cool. I suggest making the trip and have an adventure to this bar. read more

Great place to hang out. Family atmosphere. Cuddly dog. When needed to be. Eric is a great guy. Going to be new hangout

Abick's historical charm was a complete surprise to me. I thought I was checking out a Detroit dive bar. Turned out to be one of the coolest architecture and atmosphere spots in the area. And a place where you actually get to know everyone else hanging out at the bar. Recommend to anyone that likes a locals atmosphere w/ cool architecture. It is a no BS kind of place, but one that made me feel instantly welcome. I am finding myself here on a more frequent basis and that's not likely to stop anytime soon. There's nothing like this in the suburbs, worth the drive! read more

Owner had his moments..... Seemed very smug and indifferent about our presence on a Wednesday night. It's too bad, good history here. read more

I was looking for a local place that seemed safe and as soon as I walked in and was greeted by dogs I knew I was in love. It was very low key, the bartender was very friendly and it's super clean. I would recommend anyone here for sure. read more

Amazing neighborhood bar. Not fancy, but never tried to be nor does it need to be. Warm, welcoming staff, and an adorable bull mastiff "Shadow" will greet you as you come in. Drinks are always great, cold, and affordable. I try to get there and hang out with the regulars as often as possible. It's always a treat and since the first time I ever set foot there, I felt at home. The bar also boasts an amazing cigar lounge with uber comfortable couches and flat screen TVs inside. Great place if you want to go relax and enjoy a stogie. If you read this, please go visit this neighborhood institution. They don't make bars like this anymore. read more

Easily in the discussion as the best dive bar ever...and without question, the best dive bar in Detroit. Don't let the "intimidating" neighborhood fool you, this is a must go to bar in Detroit. Chock full of history and legendary beer ridden stories of cops, firemen, and Polskas but welcoming to all. Walking in as a virgin to Abick's, not sure what to expect? Have an open mind and be ready for legendary few hours. Just plain legendary! read more

Best bar in Southwest Detroit. Hospitality has been Abick's hallmark for decades. I've had their hot dog & sauerkraut and pierogi for a great late night snack. The bar had top shelf offerings before top shelf was a thing. Stop in soon, you'll feel like family. read more

Cool old style bar. Check it out. Drinks are good and the atmosphere is great. Highly recommended.

Went to Abicks last night for the first time, and it won't be the last. It's a very comfy, cozy place with a great atmosphere and lots of History behind it. They even have a nice and comfy patio with a bonfire pit. Great neighborhood place! read more

I have been going to Abick's for about a year now. It's the kind of old style homey place that I love. Manya and the staff are great people. The place is unique and wonderful. If you enjoy old neighborhood pubs don't miss Abicks. thank goodness there are a few places like this still around. read more

Absolutely the best neighborhood bar in Detroit. From the minute you walk you, you'll be greeted warmly from both the folks who work there and their customers. If you're new, you'll always be offered a tour around the place, with a bit of history thrown in for good measure. Truly comfortable place to enjoy your time out. No pretense here. Grab a seat at the bar, strike up a conversation with the regulars and locals. Learn something. Have fun. Drop some money in the jukebox. Stop reading this, go directly to your nearest ATM (as it is cash only), and go there now! read more

Lost a phone in a chair the previous night. Owner pryed it open with a screwdriver and we got it back. Went above and beyond. Great people!

Great bar friendly atmosphere! Wandered in on a Saturday afternoon and had a very enjoyable conversation with the owner can't wait to go back! read more

totally cool Detroit! Manya - the owner made rockin chili and ham for a private b'day party last night - pool table, decent juke box. And... Manya promised to teach me how to make sour cream pierogis. read more

Very polite and appreciative staff. They don't have a kitchen (they do have snacks though) and invited me to be part of their dinner order from a nearby joint. Made me feel at home. Thanks! I had a great time while I was there. They even have an online G3 dartboard in the back. Nice private space of you want to throw a few games. I'm in town on business and will definitely go back when I return. read more
