Brass Rail is an awesome late-night spot in downtown Detroit. We ordered the Caesar salad, small Margherita pizza, small White Cheesy pizza (half chicken, half bacon), Wagyu beef sliders with fries, and the Bangin' Brass shrimp tacos. Everything came out hot and flavorful, and hit the spot after a long night out. If it's a busy night, expect a bit of a wait and slower service -- but the staff are really friendly and clearly doing their best. The atmosphere is lively, casual, and perfect for grabbing a bite after a concert or game. Overall, Brass Rail is a solid go-to for late-night eats in Detroit. Definitely worth checking out! read more

We went in here to eat, warm up and have some drinks prior to Fillmore concert. We were avoided at the bar for way too long (not even busy) then to bring drinks seemed to be a distraction to them. We finally got the chance to order n food (sliders) w fries was enough for us 3 girls delish but not service. Sorry but true Try them anyway may be better service read more

Brass Rail Pizza Bar is a go-to spot for us when we're in Detroit for concerts and sporting events since it's close to Little Caesars Arena and the stadiums. They also usually take reservations via OpenTable, which is really helpful when you have a large group or want to make sure you can get a table before an event. Recently we stopped in before the Incubus show at LCA and grabbed a bite to eat. Our group of four was seated right away and we chose to sit on the patio which is out front on the sidewalk. The menu has pizza, salads, burgers, and tons of beer on tap. Nate got a personal sized build your own pizza, which we shared. The pizza was tasty and a great size for a light dinner. The personal size (9") pizza starts at $12 which isn't bad. Our food was pretty quick to come out and the only issue was being asked for money while sitting out on the sidewalk patio. Not a huge deal but I know some people might be put off by that. Sidenote, once we came here before a Red Wings game and sat at a table near Flavor Flav! That was super fun and he was taking photos with people. read more

Brass Rail Pizza Bar - Personal size build your own pizza - Pizza Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

This place is the Detroit icon, definitely some place that you need to stop in before you hit any of the sports events or if you need a pizza afterwards. The staff was friendly, however we went in very early in the day and it wasn't very busy and either was the staff. Which meant they all gathered back in the corner chatting. I understand that the bar wasn't full but then again it didn't look like it was opened when we came in and there was no one to welcome us it took a little bit for us to get our first drink. I believe that the place has just been overhauled and remodeled, it has definitely lost some of its character from the olden days, let's hope that it can maintain the business it needs to stay open. read more

We customized a chicken bacon ranch pizza and it turned out amazing. Their service was quick and I love the location of this pizza bar- so close to night clubs and stadiums in downtown. The prices were also great and they had happy hour deals read more

Grungey pizza bar near Comerica Park serving up giant pies and handhelds. We stopped in because they had an available table before the game. Very busy so it took a moment for someone to help us but once we had a server it went smoothly. Brussel sprouts were great! Crispy and flavorful - maple flavor with cheese on top. Onion rings were crispy and the onion didn't come out when you took a bite! I enjoyed my black bean burger with a side salad. Many TVs on the walls so everyone will have a good view of a screen. There's signs saying the place is under construction so maybe that's why it felt a little dirty? The door on one of the bathrooms stalls didn't close or lock and it just didn't feel very clean. Food was still good and our server was nice. read more

What a disappointment! The interior is outdated and grimy. We never saw a manager and it took forever to get a seat and a drink on a weekday evening! The food is underwhelming and basically fried frozen items. We will not go back, and there are so many better options in the area. read more

Hands-down, Best pizza In Detroit I ordered all the time. It's much cheaper if you eat it at the bar than if you DoorDash, service is great. The bar itself is a cool vibe to hang out in. I recommend eating there always. read more

Astonishingly bad service. Wildly unfriendly bartender, and even when we walked in, the hostess was furious that we walked into an *empty* bar and sat down at the bar. She made a point to come over and angrily tell us "You needed to check in with me first." read more

Came up for a tigers game but it was cancelled so we stopped here. Very close to the field. Open to the sidewalk and outdoor seating. Gotta say I judged when I first went in bc there was a smell. But the food was very good! Pizza is not Detroit style. I got Brussel sprouts, cheese bread, and the blt pizza. Everything was very good. Cheese bread was the best. Had a crispy crust. Came with Mariana and ranch. Blt pizza was good but wish there was a tad more bacon. Good beer list! read more

Great service great beer selection. The pizza was delicious has a little garlic butter on the crust Kitchen is open late, which is awesome! read more

Local, fresh, friendly staff and walkable...perfect for a day trip in Detroit. We happened to be in Detroit for the Browns game (due to the weather the Bills/Browns played in detroit). The Brass was packed, but the staff literally busted their butts to seat everyone in a timely manner. The kitchen pumped out fresh, house made pizza, wings, salads, tacos and more. Everything was hot, reasonably priced and delicious. Definitely worth the wait. read more

I know Brass Rail is highly regarded but I was greatly disappointed. I had a personal pizza made as a calzone. It seemed to me I got crust and grease, couldn't finish it, left hungry. The service was very good, we had two servers (I assume the one was being trained) and they were on top of everything but to be fair, we were one of two tables. I hope they stay successful as it is downtown and we are new to having a downtown dining scene but I won't be back. read more

Based on the reviews, I wasn't expecting the pizza to be as good as it was. It's not the best pizza in Detroit, but it's definitely great pizza. I like that you can customize pizzas. The beer selection is vast and good. Service was friendly and the wait was not long. A good pizza option in downtown Detroit! read more

I came here with family during the NFL Draft and had a great experience. I was downtown again for a concert so decided to stop in and get a beer before my show started. I thought there was a car outside blasting music; the entire bar was being rattled by bass. After several minutes I realized it wasn't from a car, but rather a club. Whether the club is next door, upstairs, I couldn't tell. The bartender tried to tell me but it was so loud I couldn't hear her. Totally ruined the experience. I don't mind loud music; I was going to see Meshuggah, but bass rattling the bar with no other music isn't pleasant. I finished my beer quickly and left. I feel badly for the staff since they don't have the luxury of leaving. read more

Terrible service. We were never given a table when waiting 1 hour when told 25 minutes. They kept blaming other customers but would seat others. Lady in a red sweater was the hostess. Half our group left and we still would not be seated. I'm not sure if I ever want to eat here again because I felt disrespected even though I have eaten here before. read more

I'd give a zero if that was possible. Was looking forward to this place. Made a reservation & got confirmation. Arrived just before my reservation time to find that they stopped the reservations due to the football game. That was fine. We were willing to wait. An hour and a half later, still not seated, see the hostess selling the tables for tips. Won't be back. read more

Service sucked place seems very dirty music is horrible it's like a kids bop cd playing on repeat way to and prices are extremely high

For my pre-carbohydrate load for the Detroit International Half Marathon, I ordered from Brass Rail Pizza Bar via Yelp with Grubhub delivery. At the time, Brass Rail Pizza Bar was one of the few restaurants within a radius of my hotel that offered delivery with a reasonable fee and no minimum ordering fee. Via Yelp, it was ranked number 11 within a radius of my hotel and noted for some of its vegan options. As a vegetarian, the only item on the menu that had my interest was the Vegetarian Pizza which was what I ordered. I would have considered the Vegetarian Calzone, but there were no images shared of it that would have helped gain my interest, so I did not bother. It took forty-nine minutes from the time my order was acknowledged by Grubhub to the arrival of it at my hotel. The deliverer who delivered my food contacted me from a Chicago area code which resulted in a friendly exchanged greeting and smile once encountered in the hotel lobby. The size of the Vegetarian Pizza was surely satisfying for me. And it was only a 9" pizza. I could only imagine what the other sizes look like if that was a 9". I enjoyed it entirely; it was neatly presented, fresh, topped with an ample number of vegetables, and delicious! I assure you that all of it was eaten the next day. It was last night's dinner turned into the next day's lunch post completion of me running the Detroit International Half Marathon. All in all, I had a pleasant ordering experience with Brass Rail Pizza Bar. As aforementioned I enjoyed my meal and would surely order from again during any of my ventures back to Detroit. ~Blessings~ Thomas G read more

Pizza and wings were delicious! The wings were some of the best wings I have ever had. Ordered BBQ and they came crispy and deliciously saucy. The margarita pizza was amazing and had the right amount of crunch to the crust. One person in our party said it was the best pizza they have ever had. Only issue was the service. Took a while to get our order taken, waters, and our check. read more

The mozzarella sticks were bomb. Perfectly crispy and extra cheesy, just like they should be. The marinara sauce that accompanied them was delicious. We tried the margherita pizza and it was amazing. The small size was perfect for two people after an appetizer- two pieces each. My only annoyance was that one slice had an enormous tomato and barely any cheese. The hostess was hustling hard, I was impressed. Our server seemed like she had too many tables so wasn't as attentive as she could have been but that's not her fault. All In all, a tasty joint. Would definitely come back when I'm in Detroit again. read more

Empty place during the week, but the bartender was worth grabbing the pizza and a drink. Had a couple beers before we came and got our diners while we're out here for work. Think the bartenders name was Kayla or something like that. Work doesn't cover the tips on the work credit card so I got a beer on my personal card because she was one of the better bartenders I've dealt with. Great selection on tap too. Just too small of a pizza for the price. Luckily work is paying for it. read more

Pizza is fantastic. Thinner, round, I think wood fired. The place wasn't super clean and I'd be a little nervous to see the kitchen. We sat at the bar. Waitress wasn't super friendly, but she took care of us just fine. This place has solid potential... great location and great food. I think under the right management this place would have lines out the door for games. read more

Headed here before a concert in a Saturday night. Sat outside and the people watching was great. Service was prompt and polite. The food was pretty gross. We ordered a sampler platter and everything came out cooked to death. The chicken wings were so dry and depressing. The tortilla chips reminded me of snack bar nachos - the queso wasn't bad though. We also ordered a magherita pizza which would have been fine but it came out cold like it had been sitting there for 20 minutes. The cheese wasn't even melty anymore. Many better options for pizza within walking distance. read more

I enjoyed my visit here very much. I was attending a concert at the Fillmore, and wanted some thing good for dinner where I could be in and out in a relatively short period of time. When I arrived I was pleased to find that I was able to make my way straight to the bar where I received attentive and prompt service. The beer list is a mile long and included a selection of sours which I was happy for. I ordered their cordon bleu pizza I was delighted at how fresh everything was and the finish on the crust. This is a wonderful item that I will definitely get again when I come back. I noted that they have some pinball and video games that looked interesting, but didn't have a chance to check them out. Hope to come back! read more

Extremely racist and overpriced, the staff is lazy and unprofessional, and the food is gross and undercooked

We stopped in on a rainy Monday night, and though business was a bit slow, it was a cozy bar to spend some time in out of the cold. It's huge, so I'm sure it gets busy for games and events. Their beer selection is awesome; they also have a few ciders. I got Blake's Rosé cider; delish! Hubby ordered a couple of high gravity beers. We also ordered pizza, their Classic which is only $10 on Mondays. Every night there is a different pizza on special. Good to know! We got the square pizza which is still thin - yum! Reminiscent of the best version of bowling alley/skating rink pizza, know what I'm sayin'? We'll for sure be back. read more

Came here before a tigers game last week and my lasting impression was, "meh". I appreciate their unique pizza flavors but the supreme was soggy amd the cordon bleu was very oily/greasy. The service ambience was loud and the service was lacking. Part way through, my brother joined us and I watched out server walk into our section 3x and glance over our table before he went to the bar for a drink. Every time i got up I was treated to a hot bare light bulb in my face [im 6' tall] because the tables were set up so the bulbs were in the aisles between tables. The drinks were so expensive, each one cost as much as a whole bottle [and we werent ordering craft cocktails, just bourbon on the rocks]. The proximity to the ballpark was the best thing. But there are plenty of other places to try so ill probably go somewhere else next time read more

After searching too long for parking to get to or original destination we decided we just didn't have time to get there. So we just went to the closest restaurant we could see because we were all hungry and the area has changed SO much since the last time I was there before the pandemic. So in comes the Brass Rail Pizza Bar. The server was great. But the pizza was a bit... over saucy for my taste. My son ordered the kids chicken tenders and barely touched them. It might just have been him being picky. But if they are good, it was an excellent value for the price. My one complaint was that for the middle of a weekday and being next to empty the place was a little sticky. It just could have been cleaner. This was prime time to get that done. But when the servers weren't serving they were in the back on their phones. I mean, I guess that's standard now though. I will say, if you check in there is a discount. I didn't realize this until after we paid. I frequently forget to check in. But thankfully they gave us a military discount and it ended up being the same. So that was nice. I think if they work on the over saucing and cleaning I would definitely give it another star. But I don't think this will be my first choice the next time I go into the city. read more

Came into town to see my Cincinnati Reds beat up on the Tigers. Went here my first night in town to watch the remainder of game 1 of the series. Being that the Reds won and I'm feeling good, that might have something to do with this review;). All jokes aside, very good food here and I would recommend all Detroiters or those just visiting. The bartender was ultra cool and not pushy, but very patient and cordial. I ordered the sliders for my meal there and an entire meat lovers pizza for my next day since I would be working all day. Admittedly I was a little weird sitting at a bar and drinking my diet Coke, but we all don't drink alcohol, contrary to what tv would make you think. Great job Brass Rail and thank you for making my visit to Detroit that much better! read more

Service was slow. Very slow. 2 of 4 in our party ordered Chicken Caesar wraps receive just salad a took 30 more minutes to get it corrected. Caesar wrap were dripping in dressing. We missed the opening show at Fillmore; it should take taken 40 minutes was 1.5 hours. Everyone else's food was good. Bar service very slow as well. Don't recommend to eat here unless you have no where to go. read more

I attend a couple lions games every season with my friend who is a season ticket holder. He loves to stop by the brass rail before and after the game for drinks and a bite to eat. Last month we popped in before the game and I ordered a Caesar salad and my friend ordered tenders and fries! WOW what a huge disappointment....as you can see my salad consists of lettuce and dressing. Can I get a crouton people, I mean it's a staple in a Caesar salad! Not to mention they charge you $8 ....oh I may have had a shred of Parmesan cheese in the mix! THIS IS THE DESCRIPTION FROM THEIR MENU: Fresh romaine, tossed in our house caesar dressing topped with fresh parmesan and croutons** Chicken tenders were pretty standard, never really hold a high expectation for them anywhere however the fries were cold and double dipped in the oil. I've worked the bar industry on and off for over 26 years and I've seen this before from lazy cooks. They'll make fries in advance and when a customers order a meal with fries they attempt to "deep fry" then again which all that does is leave them greased soaked and wimpy looking fries! See for yourself on the photo....shiny and oil soaked. I gave 2 stars because they pour a nice drink ! I always love to support local Detroit business when downtown but I think next time I'll venture elsewhere for a bite! read more

The garden salad had ham in it even though it didn't say it on the menu. I had ordered a medium cheese pizza and it came very late, a long time after the rest of my party got their food. I also saw at least two more parties that got their food before I got my pizza. We asked for the staff to turn on the TV, but they ignored us; we asked two times before giving up. We also asked them to turn down the music because it was very hard to hear and talk, but they ignored us. I would NOT recommend this place. read more
