My husband and I met with friends at The Yard at Corktown on a Friday evening. It the first time…read morefor my husband and me, as we are reacquainting ourselves with our city after being away for a while. For those not familiar, Corktown is the area where the old Tiger Stadium used to be. We were happy to see how the old stadium was taken over by the Detroit Police Athletic League (PAL) and is used for youth sporting events. There are also many new restaurants, as well as the beautiful Michigan Central train station that was redeveloped by Ford Motor Company. The Yard at Corktown ("The Yard") is also new to Corktown ("new" to my husband and me). It can probably best be described as a game bar. They have a wall of shelves full of every board game imaginable, plus an area for darts, axe throwing, and a few other electronic games. Our friends also told us The Yard has Trivia Night on Thursdays. There happened to be a Pistons game on that night, and all the TVs played the same game. This was cool because everyone could enjoy regardless of their seating position. While not a huge place, The Yard had comfortable seating and was well laid out, which allowed people to move about without crowding others. The Yard has a very cool and relaxed vibe, and the people were not too loud, pretentious, or obnoxious. It was awesome how the place pretty much came to a standstill as everyone watched their respective screens while the Pistons came from behind to take the game into overtime. Our friends picked out a game, but then we became so engrossed with our conversation we never had the chance to play (lol). I really enjoyed our time at The Yard, and look forward to returning!

I have to say that we had a great time at The Yard. This place is a great place to go for some fun…read moreand games. We did some axe throwing and had a blast. Our instructor was great. She was very attentive, colorful, and friendly. The Yard also offers a lot of other fun activities and game form table shuffle board, darts, to a wide range of board games. They have a bar area and outdoor table and games too. I would highly suggest coming here with friends if you're looking for a good time and something fun to do.

I was thinking that this was an actual lounge as opposed to a bar in the middle of the casino. Eh,…read moreno biggie. For the most part, I enjoyed myself at this "lounge" . . . extra point for smoking options. Since the lounge is in the middle of the casino, I would have expected the service to be fast. Boy, was I wrong. Perhaps, the lounge needs to staff more bartenders. Both of the bartenders were pretty nice to me, but I did notice that they were quite rude to other customers. I'm not sure if the customers were rude to the bartenders, but unfortunately, rude customers come with the job. In one case, a customer asked the bartender the types of vodkas the bar served, he pretty much bit her head off. Here's a quick tip: Be sure to order your cocktails as doubles, because it will take some time to get a second round.

My fianceè and I were in Detroit to see some friends and made us stop here for a couple of drinks…read more So glad she did! The vibe of the bar is a bit upscale with the dim lighting and professional staff while also feeling quaint and approachable. Our server was so friendly and helpful, especially helping navigate the extensive menu of cocktails and liquor. She helped me narrow down my first drink to a Clover Club which was perfectly made. I decided to order a second drink, a Pisco Sour, because it's not something I find at many bars. Yet again, the drink was perfectly made and balanced. Pricing was very fair and I would highly recommend this bar to anyone looking for an elevated date night.

It was dimly lit and the lighting was yellow and purple. There are booths to sit in and some smaller circle tables. My only room for suggestion is to add some square or rectangle tables for larger parties. We were able to push some smaller circle tables together because we wanted to play card games and it all worked out.

Dear reader, PJ's…read moreLager House in Detroit is exactly the sort of place one hopes to stumble into and then quietly congratulate oneself for finding. It has that charming, welcoming dive bar energy that feels relaxed, unfussy, and immediately easy to like. The staff was friendly and fun, which set the tone nicely from the start, and the music was great all around. It is the kind of place that feels lively without trying too hard, which is very much in its favour. One of the coolest surprises was the speakeasy tucked away almost in plain sight. It can be rented for private events, and it is much larger and more finished than you might expect, with a really nice atmosphere that makes it feel special without losing the bar's overall charm. They also have a great outdoor area with a large TV display, which adds even more appeal if you want to linger a while. And then, of course, there was the happy hour deal: $8 for a shot and a Surfside, which had us at hello and frankly required very little convincing. Overall, PJ's Lager House delivered good drinks, good music, kind people, and a very good time. I would happily go back.

The entrance is inside a building with a revolving door and not just on the street. They have a lot of seats and tvs but it is a very comfortable feel to just relax, have a cigar, watch the game and enjoy yourself. I have no idea how old this place is or have been around but Im glad I found it. I was in a spot alone facing the wall lol and above the wall were 2 tvs in a high spots. One had on an old game of Cubs v Cardinals with Zambrano pitching so I was all about it and the other had funny dog videos. It was probably the best things to have on to relax to lol.
