Small local bar, with a unmodernized feel. This is a good thing. I stopped by as my guy Mark told…read moreme the wings were crazy. I didn't feel like cooking and can always go for a good wing so I stopped by. I didn't like you couldn't look at the menu online but wasn't mad about it. When I got there it was packed, I had completely forgot that Michigan had its national football game this Monday. Nonetheless I went to the bar and ordered wings and a burger. Again, I wanted to see the menu online so I would have an idea of food cost. I ordered a burger and wings based off of Yelp, wings $12.95 for 10 and burger $11.95 but that comes with fries. The Burger is a double smashed patty with fresh toppings and a cheese of your choice. The wings came in a sweet and spicy glaze and are huge! I wasn't entirely sure of the food at first but when I got home I took a bite of the burger and started crying. It was everything I wanted in a burger, not fancy but not lacking in flavor. The wings THE WINGS! These gotta be jumbo wings and are cooked to perfection, excellent crispness! GREAT FLAVOR My only area for opportunity would be the fries. My portion looked like all the leftovers from previous fresh order and was still small. Plus these are bagged fries, but I don't mind that if they taste good just respect my lil portion lol. The fries were good, but I needed a few more, overall check them out well worth it.

From the moment we walked in, you could feel it. Great music, lively crowd, and just an overall fun atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. The food coming out of the kitchen looked amazing -- everything was plated beautifully and smelled even better. Even just watching dishes hit the tables around us had me planning what I'm ordering next time. What's cool is I'm actually in the area pretty often on Sundays because I go to a laundromat nearby, and it always looks like they're hosting a really solid brunch crowd. After seeing the vibe firsthand, I can definitely see that being a go-to brunch spot. They also keep things exciting throughout the week. Every Thursday at 7 PM, they host trivia with Jonathan from Quizzo -- six rounds covering different topics with chances to win prizes like gift cards. That's the kind of midweek plan that turns a regular Thursday into something to look forward to. And if that's not enough, axe throwing is part of the experience too, in partnership with Detroit Axe Ferndale. Axe throwing has seriously become one of the most fun social activities out right now, and having expert Axe Masters guide you through it makes it even better. There's nothing like that satisfying thunk when the axe hits the target. Between the food, the drinks, the games, and the overall energy, The Corner Grill is more than just a bar and grill -- it's an experience. Definitely a spot I'll be back to.

This is such a fun concept. Part sports bar, part games room, part axe throwing place. There is a…read morelot going on and somehow it all works. The food is not the main attraction here, but we thought it was surprisingly pretty good. The burger was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The garlic green beans were delicious, but the portion size was comical. There were seven tiny green beans on the plate. We did order a second round to get our fill of veggies. They have a "gamemaster" who helps you select from the hundreds of games they have available. You can reserve a game table online in advance for $3 per person and that reserves you two hours of game play time. The restrooms are a little nightmarish. Literally in a dark, damp basement. Other than that, really enjoyed our evening here.

My wife substituted grilled chicken for the fried chicken in a chicken club sandwich. Unlike most places, the grilled chicken was perfectly cooked: thick, moist, and tasty. Only $6.99 with fries included. As before, a giant beer (20 ounces) was only $3 for a premium bock beer. A whisky sour only set us back $3.50. Including coleslaw, the meal for two with drinks only set us back $25. Where else can you get a tasty meal for two with drinks for such a bargain price?

First time visit and sat at the bar to listen to the music. Just happened to sit next to the new owner and had a great chat with him. He's fixing the place up and turning it into a blues destination with live music. Was here mostly for the music and of course a drink, and both were fine. Both nights the patrons were friendly and talkative, exactly how a dive bar should be. The bands came on at 8 which I really appreciated! The bartenders double as the waitresses so they were working their butts off. Friendly and competent. Saturday night it was jammed, SRO, but we were finally able to get a seat. They could maybe use some more chairs - or maybe figure out a way to rearrange the tables - it was a seating nightmare - but we survived. Not sure if they were expecting that many people, they actually ran low on glasses, but growing pains for the new owner, I'm sure they'll sort it out. Saturday night we ordered fries and they were good. Kudos for Steve for even making them with the jam packed house. Since we love the blues I'm sure we'll be back.

Since…read moreneither of us had been to Barrel House before, we thought we'd give it a try--and we're so glad we did. We entered through the back entrance and were immediately greeted with a warm welcome. We quickly found a table for two, and our server was attentive from the start, bringing water right away, answering our questions, and walking us through the wine and beer selections. My wife ordered the Beet & Salmon Salad, while I chose the Crispy Chicken Club with white cheddar and house-smoked bacon. The sandwich was absolutely incredible--hands down the best crispy chicken club I've ever had. The chicken was perfectly crispy, and the combination of flavors was outstanding. I also stole a few bites of my wife's salad and was pleasantly surprised by the yellow beets. I'd only ever had red beets before, and both varieties were prepared beautifully. The salmon was cooked to perfection and paired wonderfully with the fresh ingredients. Between the excellent food, welcoming atmosphere, and friendly service, this turned out to be one of the best impromptu dinner dates we've had in quite some time. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and are already looking forward to returning to explore more of the menu. Highly Recommend!
