Stopped in here for some beer before the Detroit Grand Prix and glad we did as our beers were very cold in frosted glasses! They have a lot of beers on tap as well. We didn't order any food but some folks next to us did and it looked good. Our bar tender was very friendly and good! Place definitely has a Detroit ambiance to it with cool red wings memorabilia on the walls. read more

The food isn't the best but the drinks are to die for. Elissa served with confidence and care I would die to have. She is an amazing person and bartender as far as I'm concerned. I love that they played an E.T. By Katy Perry remix at 3pm. I know it's movement but it's Greek town so idk if they play anything else. I loved all the people I met while here. Everyone was very friendly and it felt like a home. Biggest shout out to Elissa for doing her job so well. That's what really makes the experience for me even if the food isn't good. read more

A fun dive bar with great shot options! We stopped in here during a Pedal Bar event and were greeted by a really nice dive bar atmosphere. While trying to decide what to get with the small amount of time we had, the chalkboard of different shots that they had on special that day was really cool. The bar tender was really friendly too with all of us! read more

Five star dive bar. They have great service, friendly bartenders, an impressive selection of drinks and the food menu will satisfy most palettes. This is a decent place for groups, though I usually come in as part of a couple. But they've got a few tables that can seat 4 or 6. They don't usually have table service, so you'll need to head to the bar to order. The bar itself is pretty big, with lots of space for singles or couples. The bathroom sitch is always a little sus, but like most Detroit dive bars, it's what makes them unique. They're always clean (minus the graffiti) and are usually stocked with soap and towels. You really can't ask for more. Food wise, I've never had a bad dish at this place. Their burgs are top notch and always cooked the way you request. Sandwiches are great, as are the fries. I've been known to order cheese sticks and onion rings as well. All delish! You'll find garage or street parking nearby (both paid) though street parking is currently free on Sundays. Anytime I find myself hanging near Campus Martius Park, I make it a point to stop into The Detroiter. You should do the same. read more

The name of this place is a great example of the vibe inside this bar. There isn't a better place to have a couple beers, eat some appetizers and watch a Tigers or Lions game. The people who work here are wonderful and they're always very friendly and attentive. I came here to watch the Lions game on Christmas Eve, had a few blue moons and ate some delicious fried pickles and French fries. This place seems to have regulars who are extremely friendly and welcoming. The Detroiter is my favorite go-to bar in Detroit. read more

Heeey Stranger Dangers! It's me the Big Tuna Reviewer back at it again with a tasty tuna review. First and foremost let's talk about the service. Now I may have been to a few bar restaurants in my tenure and the service orchestrated at Detroiter Bar is second to none by the lovely Bri behind the Bar. Quick, always correct on the orders and every time you may need something she's right there. 11/10. Now for the main reason you're reading this. The Tuna. Now I've had tuna from all corners of the Globe. Does this one knock my socks off?! No. Does it deserve to be thrown back in the Detroit River? Absolutely not. This is so far above average it makes it a tough one to gage. It might not make the Deans list but it'll totally be on the honor roll society. If you're in need for a quick tuna fix like I was then this is a must stop. Tell Bri the Big Tuna sent you and receive 0% off. read more

Loved the bikini lady glass and she alone will def have me returning lol. They also were selling Jell-O shots and we figured "what the hell" and had some of those two. The inside was not to crowded, which I was happy about. They had an outdoor area and a tented indoor/outdoor space. Music was good but not to loud that I could not hold a conversation.

My kind of place for after the live band at Floods down the block. Walk in feeling good. Bartender says what can I get ya? Good looking guy 6"2 about 220. Got the blankest look ever. Well guess not everybody has a sense of humor. Lets try again. Do u have a tap list? He motions to the taps on the other side. Sigh. Now my habitual smile is getting dim. Can u tell me what IPAs you have? They had 2 and 1 I haven't had before so I'm feeling better. This is not a dive bar to me. Very clean nice inside. Nice bright sign. Not crowded this Saturday night. It was almost 1am so no food. Nice juke box that I took over for the last hour lol. I was the only black patron there but everyone seemed to be having a good time and enjoying themselves. Started talking to the other bartender cause that other sulky bartender... Please don't kill my vibe. Please don't kill my vibe. She was cool. Let me order that norms raggedy ass IPA close to 2 which was the best Michigan beer I had all weekend. Told me don't worry about the time. Thats what's up. Come check it out. read more

Typical bar food, but it wasn't as bad as other bar food I've had. This place got super packed for the Piston's game, so get here early if you are also planning on attending on a game day! My chicken tenders were really good and they gave me tons of BBQ sauce. Wasn't too happy with the draft list (almost all IPAs, wished they had a better local selection) but I ended up having two beers and a meal all for $22. Not bad! read more

I have never wrote a review before on yelp but I just had to say something. Me and my husband were in Detroit for a show at Saint Andrews and decided to stop into the Detroiter for for a quick drink. Kenneth was bartending and made the best whisky sour & old fashioned me and my husband have ever had in our lifetime seriously this guy can make drinks however that's not why I'm writing this review it's because the place was packed and my husband went to the little boys room and must have dropped his wallet In the stall and thank God Kenneth found it. We earlier in the day sold our second car and had $1400 in cash in the wallet and Kenneth must've known the money was in there because he figured out it was ours by opening it up and checking the ID inside and by this time we already left. Once we noticed it was gone my heart dropped I thought sure it was gone especially with that type of cash in it but to my surprise and relief as soon as we walked back in Kenneth was standing there with a huge smile and said you must of left this I honestly could not believe it. Kenneth you are an amazing person you have no idea how much we needed that I just lost my job and Christmas is almost here thank you thank you thank you read more

This is one of downtown Detroit hidden gems, in my opinion. Nothing too fancy; just good food, great service, and a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Although I've never seen it crowded to the point of having to stand in line or stand at the bar for drinks, I wouldn't doubt that they are frequently that busy. We never skipped an opportunity to visit when we're headed to a game in the area. Free shuttle service to and from sporting venues on game days. Kudos to Breanna, Jessica, Valentina, Jenny, Ken, and Maria as bartender hosts. They always have a smile on their faces and they make great drinks and are very friendly to all their patrons. Special mention goes to Tommy, the man who operates the shuttle to and from the sporting events. By the way, Valentina makes homemade pierogies for sale. They are out of this world. In my opinion, you would do yourself a favor by visiting the Detroiter bar and giving the staff a chance to impress you. read more

Looked for a bar to watch the Champions League Final, and thankfully found Detroiter Bar. Cozy place with ample seating, a great atmosphere, and only a few yards from the People Mover & Greektown Casino. Excellent selection of craft brews, beer, and liquor. Very good food, and reasonable prices. Service could not have been better, and the patrons were welcoming, as well. It was like watching the game at a corner bar in your hometown.

Fair to say the Asian Chicken Salad is good, but not great. It's a massive portion with plenty of Napa cabbage and spinach, providing that much-needed crunch.

Anyone genuinely suited to a hospitality role would have recognized this as an easy moment to generate some goodwill, but instead, the chef shut it down without a second thought. I spent a lot to stay at the MGM Grand Detroit Hotel, and this interaction left a genuinely negative impression of MGM overall. It made an already difficult day worse. I truly hope the individual who refused this request can one day recognize that hospitality is built on moments exactly like this.

The Monarch Club

A lovely spot for a drink and a view! I came by in early March knowing it would be a little chilly…read moreon the roof, but the view and vibe was worth it! Really friendly service from start to finish, starting with the doormen all the way to the hostess and then the bartender. Everyone seemed like they were in a great mood, and this was a great spot to kick off my trip to Detroit. I went with the Cigar City Brewing Co IPA and it was crisp and delicious! The inside of the club was nice, but only complaint was they could do with more ambiance/dimmed lighting. It was a little too bright for a club. The rooftop has great views, a small fire pit, and several chairs around it. Probably 180 degrees unobstructed view, so could be great for a nice (panoramic) photo of the city or a selfie. I'll definitely be back on my next trip!

Monarch Club is really an experience everyone should try at least once. It's elegant, it's…read morebeautiful, the views from the porch are nothing short of spectacular. While the food and drinks are not especially unique or special on its own, they are all good and the service 99% of the time is excellent. Sitting on top of the Element hotel right smack in downtown, this is great spot before and after any of the games or concerts as they are stones throw from the Fox, Comerica, Ford Field and a few minutes from LCA.

Detroit style square pies are my favorite and Buddy's did not disappoint. I actually had 3 slices COLD the next morning and it tasted even better. The quality of the dough and toppings was superb. The drinks were also amazing! It was my first time drinking in almost 5 months and the cocktails were really good. One of my gfs asked for an adjustment on our espresso martinis and the bartenders obliged no problem. The service here is excellent. If I'm ever back in Detroit one of my first stops will be Buddy's!

At the restaurant side we chose the recommendations given by the first person except we chose to keep the salad dressing that came with the salad. I will say everything was very good. Our server was very attentive. We decided to order the Super 6 Mile and added banana peppers and took out the ham. We also added the Greek salad to share. Both items were a hit. We really liked our food. The ambiance was cool they were showing the Pistons v Cavs game so everyone was entertained. The biggest surprise of the night was when it came time to get the check the waitress said that the gentleman that was next to us paid our bill and didn't want the waitress to tell us he did. That has never happened b4 we were so grateful. After posting on Tik tok they say this is a regular thing that happens in Detroit. Thank you if you ever see this. We truly appreciate it & thanked you on tik tok & ig. Never experienced that act of kindness and we will certainly pay it forward.

We ordered the Caesar salad, small…read moreMargherita 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!
