Struggle to want to like this place and give it more chances. Been here a few times for quick bites to eat, full dinners, or just drinks. Whether it's before a hockey game or just on a regular evening. Some nights are pretty good while others stink. The free parking for the Red Wings game is nice but the hit-and-miss food, slow service that makes you late for a game, and lack of crowd control in here makes me want to go somewhere else. It's very close to Little Caesars Arena, so I get that it will be extremely busy during game nights but other bars nearby don't cascade that overwhelmed feeling to their service and food. read more

Met two amazing bartenders Gaby & Stephanie. I was joking with they why you didn't check my idea. I guess the Gras/ whites speak for themselves. I was telling them I am here on a bucket list trip. I explain them I am from NYC and big fan of the Detroit Pistons. They were real nice and attentive always asking each customer you need something. First time at Harry's and it was great. Thank you ladies! If you ever in The D stop at Harry's great atmosphere good stop for pre game before any event. read more

This is the place to go for dinner before you hit Little Caesar's Arena next door for a Pistons game or concert. The staff here is super friendly and the bar food is top notch!! I recommend the burgers. read more

We went to Harry's the other night for drinks and appetizers. The champagne they served was very poor quality and they didn't have prosecco either. They also didn't have ingredients to make an espresso martini, which was odd since it's such a popular drink. The food was also not good. Their pretzels and chips and cheese dip didn't have much flavor. read more

The parking attendant is rude and management stands behind their staff even if they are wrong

I'm kind of nervous in crowds and horrible at navigating trips/evenings out, so I insisted we go downtown an hour early before the Billie Eilish show and tasked my daughter with finding somewhere convenient for our dinner between finding parking and the show. She picked Harry's, and I'm so glad she did! We were seated promptly, the food and drinks were good and efficient, and I was slightly calmer and ready to go by showtime! My daughter and her girlfriend got a sandwich and quesadilla. They shared both and and thoroughly enjoyed them! I got the fried pickles, and we all loved them too! Definitely making a note that Harry's is the place to stop on our way to LCA shows :) read more

Harry's Detroit Bar & Grill - Insanely delicious order of fried pickles :) - Sports Bars Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Went here with a group of 4 on a Saturday night. I ordered the Nashville chicken sandwich which was average at best. I was told the shrimp tacos and the pub club were delicious. A friend ordered a salad with chicken and it came without it. Took 20 min for the chicken to be brought to the table. read more

This is as sports bar as a sports bar gets. Massive bar with a huge outdoor space for game days, as well as an upstairs patio too. The service here is the stand out feature, though. The bartenders have always treated me so well in my several visits over the years. The food is pretty decent, nothing to write home about not anything worthy of complaining over. An absolute staple for a 313 sports game read more

Stopped by for lunch, clam chowder and the blackened fish sandwich was incredible. The wait staff were hustling , never leaving you unattended. Off the beaten path bar vibe was great. Hope to stop back by in the summer to enjoy the outside seating. read more

While the gentleman outside is kind and helpful,the bartenders aren't interested in their 'regulars' making visitors feel out of place. The food is good, a bit pricey, but edible.I recommend somewhere else, especially of you are my yourself read more

This review is only for pre-tigers or lions game stop, we didn't eat inside...just during tailgate before a tigers game. They turn the parking lot into a tailgate and it was super fun! The drinks were good and not too expensive. My husband ordered a burger from somewhere grilling them in the parking lot and let me tell you it's one of the best burgers I've tasted in years! It was a little pricey for a burger but worth every penny! read more

Excellent service from Stephanie at the bar. Bang Bang Shrimp tacos were excellent and the Mac N Cheese hit the spot.

First thing, the food was great. There were four of us and everyone enjoyed their meal. Our waitress was very attentive and we wanted for nothing. The bar is warm and welcoming and we parked in their lot, walked over to The Fox for a show and came to our car safe and sound in their parking lot. Overall a lovely experience. read more

We came here on a Friday after work. It was fairly busy but service was still fast. Our waitress was Tae and she was great. They don't have draft beer upstairs so I got a can of beer with a nice cold glass to pour it in. For dinner, I got the smokehouse burger and fries. The fries were ok but not super flavorful. The burger was really good. The sauce on it added a nice kick, thick bacon, good cheese. The vibe was upscale sports bar and clean. Definitely a good option to check out downtown. read more

Harry's isn't what it used to be. Overpriced with a side of entitlement - from the parking lot attendant to the leadership. The only reason it isnt one star is because the server(s) were polite and attentive. read more

As a New Yorker, we have very varied of food, especially burgers visiting from out of town. I stumble into this place. Their burger was amazing and the fries. I am speechless. The girls at the bar took good care of me coming back for more. read more

I will start by saying our waitress was quick and prompt with service and extremely thoughtful. The spicy buffalo salad did not have the ingredients listed on the menu. It was missing poblanos, celery and roasted corn. read more

If your looking to have a couple drinks before the game or maybe a bit to eat, this may be your ticket. We tried and failed. As organized as the host was, there were far too many people, too long a wait and absolutely no room to move in this bar Mrs E was feeling claustrophobic and we couldn't hear anything our friends were saying. It's not an ideal place for six or more to have dinner and drinks, plus carry on a meaningful conversation. Not on game night, anyway. We didn't get to the food. Instead, paid for drinks and ended up walking in and immediately sitting down at the Mixing Board in the arena. Maybe we can try Harry's under calmer circumstances. 12/23 read more

Great location to grab a drink or bite to eat before a game. We stopped in to grab something to eat prior to a Wings game and had about a 20 minute wait before being seated. We ordered the Bavarian pretzels which were really good. Could have easily ordered more but didn't. lol It is definitely a very lively place and can only imagine how crazy it gets as the night goes on especially on a game night. Only "negative" for us (I understand it but it was still a little off putting) was when we had finished eating and we were sitting and drinking, the manager cleared our table and said that they had about an hour and 15 minute wait for tables, so if we could finish and leave that would be great. Other than that, we would definitely eat here again if/when in town for a game. read more

Normally, I go to Harry's if there is an event at Little Caesars Arena. It just be okay. However, yesterday was wonderful. I loved how they catered to the crowd by playing certain music or sometimes even doing drink menus that relate to the event. The food was wonderful and the drinks were nice and strong. The waitress was busy considering it was packed but she got us in and out in a timely manner. read more

Pretty typical sports type bar. We stopped in after the Lions game and it was packed but we snagged a spot at the bar. We didn't try the food so can't comment on that, but the drinks were fine and not too expensive. They have a goldmine location so it's always going to be crowded on game day, if you like that type of ambience this is a good place to go. If you prefer a more neighborhood style bar to watch the game - stay closer to home! If was a good stop on our way back to our car to let the crowds thin. Probably wouldn't come here otherwise. read more

So busy before the Red Wings vs Edmonton Oilers game Thursday night. I was able to squeeze in and get a beer then hang out standing along a bar in the middle until a seat at the bar opened up. I ordered bang bang shrimp tacos. Huge portion and very delicious! Pricey, but expected with the location. My bar staff was fast and efficient. My tab was accurate and closed out just in time to head over to the arena. read more

Came on a Wednesday afternoon before the Piston's game, and we were able to sit at the bar. Service was quick and the bartender was nice enough. Ordered fried pickles (they were okay) and the jalapeño popper egg rolls (too much cream cheese and not enough other stuff). Classic burgers were decent. Ranch was like water so don't expect the good kind. Volume was loud due to a packed house but mostly due to the girl at the bar who was using her outside voice the entire time while looking at outfits to wear to opening day. read more

One of my favorite places to go before a Detroit sports event. In the summer, the open air upper level is super cool! Most recently, I was here before the MSU football game that was at Ford Field. The upper level was packed with Spartan fans and it was a super fun atmosphere. You can't go wrong with Harry's if you're going to the game. read more

We went here before heading over to LCA for the Usher concert. The place was jumping and packed!!! We were seated up stairs, which has open walls. The food was good as well as the service. The only thing I didn't like was there is no rest room on the second floor. read more

Went after a concert at LCA. Tons of parking and nice atmosphere inside. My only gripe was the music was too loud. Me and my friends were yelling to talk to one another. Service was great and food was very good. Ordered the bang band shrimp tacos which were excellent. read more

When we got here it looks really cool on the inside, like a bar and grill you can actually sit, have a pint with some friends and great laughs all night, I really love the decor and the feeling on the inside. So I ordered a beer and we got food, I got some deep fried pickle chips and the Smokestack Burger. First thing I fell in love with is they actually make them round, I really don't like pickle spears deep fried (sorry never been a fan of how they are cooked) but the pickle chips are amazing and the sauce it comes with was delicious!!! It is a must order if you like pickles. The next thing was this Smokestack burger, now on the burger came smoked Gouda Cheese, smoked cherrywood bacon, spicy smoked sauce, lettuce and tomato on a grilled Brioche Bun, the cool thing they did with the bun is they branded their signature name on top of the bun, that was really cool! I had it cooked Rare and This burger was amazing, a little messy but VERY worth it, the meat was nice and flavorful and very tender, the lettuce was crispy and the tomato was fresh and the sauce even had a slight kick to it, not as spicy as I usually like it but this was good. I definitely recommend this place with a group of friends or even for a date night, it is just a nice place to come and unwind and have some fun. read more

I really wish I could give zero stars. Harry's has the worse customer service I've ever experienced. The staff were very rude! One bartender suggested that we got the hook up on the first round we ordered and tried to charge more for the second round of the exact same drinks. He decided to say that he was not going to go back and forth about the matter and walked off, I would not suggest any black personal to support this business. read more

Food was amazing Service was excellent ask for TAY And the ambiance was amazing. I went with 8 people and we all was satisfied read more

Good and easy spot for before a game or a show. Service is great as well. Would recommend

Still the best burger in the D. By far the best and most consist cook on a burger, which is hard to get now days. I love going to events as it is a reason to hit this place up! read more

BAD overall service- I try to attend quite a few afternoon tiger games. Like trying different places before games. It totally seems like these places close to venues,just don't really care - people come anyway. walked thru door at 11am , they just opened- 4 people ,asked for table of 8 upstairs- other 4 guys were 5 minutes behind. Told couldn't be seated unless all were there other people showed up - seated at different table. Waitress was just a bit snotty, shared burger and pretzel appetizer. Tasted ok - drink service a bit slow . Bill came - charged 20 percent tip for 8 people at table - really ? Even the owner/ manager got crappy about it read more

My first time visiting Harry's and I was pleasantly surprised. Great food and excellent service. We had the fried pickles and chicken fritter appetizers. Both were really good!! You could tell the food was homemade. For dinner we had burgers and the bang bang shrimp tacos. The burgers were so delicious and cooked perfectly. The bang bang shrimp tacos were very tasty. You get four tacos, so it can split between two people if you are ordering apps. I really enjoyed the tacos and can't wait to come back to have them again. Overall, a wonderful dinner in Detroit. The server knew we were headed to LCA for an event and made sure everything came quickly. He was very attentive. read more

I have never reviewed Harry's? I have been coming here for so long... This is one of our places to park prior to a lions or Tigers game. On Thanksgiving we always park here, as Woodward Ave is closed due to the parade. It's a short walk to the stadium and parking is convenient. The service is prompt and friendly. I enjoy going upstairs on a warm day and sitting with the doors all rolled up. Well the weather was perfect on this day so that's exactly what we did. We sat and enjoyed an appetizer and a few beers and moved on to another spot. read more

I'll start off with the bad part... The effin music was so load that customers had to yell across the table at each other! We could not hear what our waiter was saying, and he def couldn't hear us. When asked how we could maybe adjust the volume to a respectful level for a bar/restaurant, I was told to speak with the manager, who was pointed out. As I suggested to him that kicking the volume down a touch would help staff communicate with customers, and me and my guests wouldn't have to stand up and lean over the table to hear each other. I was told that the sound system was "pre-programmed" at that level, and there is no way to adjust it. He was obviously lying his ass off. So we just suffered through it, So the second our drinks were finished, we took our $$$ to a place down the street. We were getting ready to order a bunch of food too! Your loss Harry's, Good part, waiter was cool food decent, sports vibe was great! And for the record, I'm not some old geezer that thinks all music is too loud, I'm a life long drummer and audio engineer, I love it loud, just not while I'm trying to hang out and converse with friends and family. read more

Harry's Detroit Bar & Grill - Nice post Lions, pre Wings crowd, too bad nobody could talk to each other! - Sports Bars Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

This well-known Bar & Grill has always been my choice. My usual time is for an hour and a half for pre-game drinking and dining since 2017 maybe sooner? In the winter season I am a die-hard Red Wing hockey fan 10 years back when they played at Joe Louis arena. (This season so far, they are playing poor and I hope they get their act together soon) I am still supporting them when I can to attend a game with free tickets and also enjoy this sports bar. There are 5 or 6 TV's in here to watch naturally sport games or talk shows. Harry's Bar is 1 block in walking distant to LCA. I suggest to arrive by 4:00 pm and choose one of two parking lots. Seriously, I get in here 2 hours or more before a game to allow enough time to unwind, have a few drinks, appetizers, salads, sandwich or burger meal in my opinion. FYI = The doors open at LCA at 6:00 pm. Therefore arrive here at Harry's early to avoid the later crowd of hype sport fans, the wait time and loud noise level too. I can say over the past year or two even for a Tiger baseball game in the summer, that there are always different employees serving drinks and food all year round. Why I don't know but they all do their best to have pleasant attitudes along with speed and service. There has been a few times that a waitress will mix up a meal with a special request or mix up a final bill of a total or I have received someone's bill. Too busy? or not careful and accurate so Managers need to stay on top of my past service and now tips. The cooks in the kitchen are also hard working and have many talents with their many different "Daily Specials" offered weekly and weekends. The recipes are homemade especially the large casserole of "Baked Mac and Cheese" $15.75 with add in choices of pulled pork, chicken, bacon. They make their burgers from scratch based on one's choice with different toppings or add on's along with their famous crispy seasoned fries. Prices start at $ 9.50 on the burgers. I can definitely say I HAVE TRIED many different entrees, combos, wraps and drinks, and naturally I have photographed those plates or glasses, so I hope all my photos will be attached here with my review of Harry's Bar & Grill. I would say the prices are decent for the apps, meals and desserts. There is NO Happy Hour since the crowds come and go and are usually here to dine before a game. The noise level can be loud with so many guests talking and enjoying the hype before a sporting game for sure. At times its hard to talk across the table and chat, even with the server as well. The bartender's can really make a mixed drink good and strong. Oh yeah! That helps save the money for the expensive drinks at LCA. :) Read the "Chalkboards" by the bar when entering for the mixed drink and Beer specials. A favorite for a Tall Captain Morgan's is $7.00. Before leaving after a few drinks and a satisfying menu choice, the Ladies restroom is always clean with two working stalls. The soap dispensers are always filled and with working hand dryers. There's music playing throughout one's drinking or dining hours but it can't be heard too well in the bar or table areas. The music can be heard fine in the restroom. lol :) I've never met "Harry" if there is such a guy or owner? One of these times I hope to put a name with a face of this hot spot and well known bar before a game if Harry is available to make an appearance. Many times it's interesting and humorous during the hockey season to sit and people watch inside here with many Red Wing hockey jersey's being worn with different players names. Boo... on the guests wearing hockey jersey's for the opposing teams in nearby states or even across the river. Eh? So Let's GO "Red Wings" & those Detroit "Tigers" in the Summer. 4 stars instead of 5 only because this place needs more parking space and some repairs on the two lots with holes as of now. Give Harry's Bar & Grill a try before a sporting or concert event! The grill food is "Fantastic and Free" parking as well ! read more
