The bartenders were friendly, the drinks were great, and everyone--from the staff to the regulars--made me feel welcome. I love finding places with personality, and Last Chance Saloon definitely has it. Whether you're there for karaoke, live music, or just to hang out with friends, it's one of those places that's easy to lose track of time in. I'll definitely be back!

I rolled into Detroit for the first time ever and an unassuming bar stood out and called to me…read moreimmediately. It was the Temple Bar. I walked up not sure if it was even open but a haggard looking woman carrying a bunch of shit popped out and carried on down the road. I knew it was open. When I walked in I was greeted by a friendly bartender with glasses and a handlebar mustache. There were maybe 3 or 4 other people at the bar I could see. A couple more in the back patio. This is a real great bar. They have a pool table, full bar, and great beer selection. Not a huge selection but a good one. Plus it was a gay bar and I couldn't even tell. Great place welcoming everyone. Support local! Cheers!

I want to like Temple Bar because the location is perfect right next to the Masonic Temple. It's…read moreone of those spots you naturally end up at before or after a show, and it has that classic dive bar vibe that could be so good. But if you know crowds are coming when shows let out... you've gotta be ready for it. Two bartenders for a packed bar just wasn't cutting it. I waited about 20 minutes for a drink and eventually just gave up, which is frustrating when you're trying to enjoy a night out. And the one drink I did get earlier honestly looked like a sample cup. The place felt kinda dirty and weirdly quiet (before the rush)? Like super dark (which I get, dive bar) but no music or energy to balance it out. It just felt off. I've been here a few times now hoping it would hit different, but it hasn't yet. If you're the owner reading this, I'd just say plan for those post-show rushes. Even one more bartender and a little boost in atmosphere would go a long way. I'll probably still swing back because of the location, but man... I'd love to actually enjoy it next time.

We stood in line waiting but the employee never acknowledged us, greeted us or explained who was being served. We waited a while and then asked if we could place an order. He went off about being understaffed and contacted the owners let them know. When we tried to understand what was going on, he responded with an unnecessarily slick and dismissive attitude, saying, "I've got this person, I've got that person, I've got this." We had just walked in, we had no way of knowing who he was helping or how the line was being handled because he had not communicated anything to us. I understand that working alone can be stressful but customers should still be acknowledged and spoken to respectfully. His attitude went too far and made the entire interaction uncomfortable so I chose to leave without ordering. My friend order online. Vegan patty it was okay. The cauliflower was cold but good. Ambiance was cool, clean and decent music.

Long bar to the left, several tables strewn with poker chips and newspapers from what appeared to be several years to the right, we sat at the bar and enjoyed the warm welcome from the pleasant bartender who aptly presented me a two dollar Budweiser bottle. No taps, but two dollar bottles make up for it. There were two regulars in control of the pull down projector screen behind the bar and had chosen some unfamiliar John Wayne film. It didn't take long to decide that this was one of the coziest and most over looked bars in the city. Go there now before it falls to the wayside like so many other beautiful watering holes.

The employees. The place has the tiki vibe but the heart was ripped out when they hired a group of people who don't have that spirit of what tiki is about. To me it represents a way of life focused on kindness, unity, humility, patience, and mutual regard. It felt more exclusionary and lack of kindness almost an irritation to be in the service industry. I do hope great things for the owner in the future because he did have something special there. Wish his vision was seen by the employees.

It has decent music so don't get it twisted, it has plenty of space, they're not a lot of seats though so you'll be standing around most likely. But is a dive bar vibe. Don't expect fancy martinis or anything like that. They always have specials though. So if you can't get your Tito's lemon drop, you can get two for five beers or something LOL. The service is what you would expect from a busy location. I mean, it's pretty much nothing but bar so with only like two bartenders you got to wait at the end of the day. So just be conscientious of that and give it Grace because you are getting a service that you expect to come to contact with while you walk into a dive bar. I've been going there for years. Well before I moved, it is a staple and I feel like it's never going to die. It is always consistent and it'll give you exactly what you need. It's really good for pre-drinking because of drinks are fairly cheap, so keep that in mind. If you do go, you might want to go ahead and consider parking. Parking is going to be street parking because there's no lot specifically for this establishment. But there is plenty of parking in after a certain time in Detroit it's going to be free. If you are going to go ahead and do the well, it's best to go ahead and start the night with that so you don't have to worry about too many expensive drinks your at your actual location. And then after that You may want to consider finishing the night there. After you've had all the fancy dinners and stuff, if you want to go ahead and wrap up the night with a couple of cheap drinks, this is the place for you.
