Hockeytown Cafe - Thank you Maddy and Taylor for making today fun! Yall are the best!!! - Sports Bars Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Hockeytown is a great stop in Detroit before a game. It's located just a few blocks from the arena and feels like a perfect tribute to the city's deep hockey history. We managed to grab two seats at the bar before the game, which felt like a win on a busy night. The bartender was clearly very busy but still managed to be attentive and keep things moving, which we appreciated. I ordered the Poletown smoked brat and we also tried the grilled chicken delight. Both were really good and hit the spot before heading to the arena. Overall the place has a great vibe for hockey fans -- lively, fun, and full of energy on game day. Definitely a great pre-game stop if you're in town for hockey. read more

Big place. I assumed this was more of a bar as everyone said come here before a game, but it's definitely more restaurant. We sat on the rooftop and just enjoyed a beer. They were out of their Hockeytown exclusive beer. I'm not sure if smoking is allowed on the patio but people were. read more

In town for hockey game ,and of course you have to stop at the Hockey town Café and have a beer. This place is awesome to have a beer. Watch the game with all the Red Wings fans. They got a full bar. The beer selection is OK. I wish they had a bit better beer selection, but the food menu is basic bar food. The stuff we had was OK but to come and watch the games and have a beer and hang out with Red Wings fans. You have to do it when you're in town service was super nice A+ staff. Really cool decor inside along with the little memorabilia shop where you can buy some products really cool place to go. read more

Finally got to try Hockeytown Cafe, a spot I've always wanted to check out! My wife and I came here after a Red Wings game and had an awesome time. The staff was super friendly, and the food hit the spot--we especially loved the Three Little Pigs Pizza and the Mac & Cheese. Great drink selection too. The margaritas on tap were tasty, though I do wish they came with a salted rim, and I wasn't big on them being served in plastic cups. Also not a huge selection for vegetarians. The place has that classic pub vibe, but the Red Wings theming really elevates it and makes it a must-visit for any hockey or Wings fan. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

I stopped in with a group for dinner before a show at the Fox. Located in walking distance from the Fox, Fillmore, Comerica Park, Ford Field and Little Caesars Arena -- Hockeytown Cafe is bumping. We walked in around 4:45 for dinner and there was already a half hour wait. I'm not sure why there was a wait, however. This restaurant has few redeeming qualities. It may be a fun place to go to before a Red Wings game just for the nostalgic factor, but the redeeming qualities end there. The prices for everything here? Astronomical. $5 for a soda? They even tried charging us for water. $17 for mac and cheese? Even depressing looking pizza was $16. It looked like something you'd get at Little Caesar's Pizza. I settled on the pulled chicken nachos, which was a decent option for the price of $19. The downfall with that was there wasn't enough queso or chicken. So you paid $19 for nachos that were 75% chips. The service at Hockeytown Cafe was abysmal. Our waitress made it seemed like her biggest inconvenience was checking on our table. We didn't get asked about how our food was (maybe because she knew it was bad) and we never got asked for drinks. Anytime we tried flagging her down for the bill, take out boxes, refills, etc, she bee lined it somewhere else. It wasn't even *that* busy. Please save yourself the money and go anywhere else in Detroit for dinner. There is so many better options! read more

For a bar in such close proximity to Little Caesar's Arena, you really can't ask for more. The service is quick and friendly and knowledgeable. The beers are fairly priced (if not a little inexpensive for it's proximity). Lots of levels and space for folks to mingle. There's likely no better place to pre-game. read more

Becky gave us great service, and was so nice. I would recommend her to anyone coming in!

Vicky and Malaika made a couple of the best Old Fashioneds in town! Great drinks and awesome service.

We did not eat here (the food did look good, though), but stopped in for a few drinks prior to the baseball game. It's literally right across the street from the stadium. There are two floors, so there is plenty of seating. The staff was very nice and friendly. There are motorcycles hanging from the ceiling. It has fun vibes. read more

My boys and I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Hockeytown Café in Detroit! From the moment we walked in, the energy and atmosphere were perfect for a pre-game meal. The food was outstanding -- fresh, flavorful, and served fast! But the real highlight of our visit was Vicky, our server. She was truly exceptional! Friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, she made us feel welcomed from the start. Vicky checked in often, made great recommendations, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. It's rare to find service this genuine and upbeat, and she absolutely made our experience memorable. If you're heading downtown for a Red Wings game or just looking for a great place to grab a bite, I can't recommend Hockeytown Café enough -- and make sure to ask for Vicky! She's the best! read more

Vicky at Hockeytown rocks!!!!! She made our day. My niece turned 21 and she set the vibe

Vicky was an outstanding bartender. Super attentive and incredibly kind! Service was very quick and very efficient

Convenient after a Tigers game and basically no wait. Chicken sandwich was decent, all American smash burger was a hit, and chicken wing appetizer with mango habanero was over cooked and dry. Music was as loud as you'd expect in a bar, but the ambience is unique. We'd go back again, but aren't rushing back tomorrow. read more
