I rolled into Detroit for the first time ever and an unassuming bar stood out and called to me…read moreimmediately. It was the Temple Bar. I walked up not sure if it was even open but a haggard looking woman carrying a bunch of shit popped out and carried on down the road. I knew it was open. When I walked in I was greeted by a friendly bartender with glasses and a handlebar mustache. There were maybe 3 or 4 other people at the bar I could see. A couple more in the back patio. This is a real great bar. They have a pool table, full bar, and great beer selection. Not a huge selection but a good one. Plus it was a gay bar and I couldn't even tell. Great place welcoming everyone. Support local! Cheers!

I want to like Temple Bar because the location is perfect right next to the Masonic Temple. It's…read moreone of those spots you naturally end up at before or after a show, and it has that classic dive bar vibe that could be so good. But if you know crowds are coming when shows let out... you've gotta be ready for it. Two bartenders for a packed bar just wasn't cutting it. I waited about 20 minutes for a drink and eventually just gave up, which is frustrating when you're trying to enjoy a night out. And the one drink I did get earlier honestly looked like a sample cup. The place felt kinda dirty and weirdly quiet (before the rush)? Like super dark (which I get, dive bar) but no music or energy to balance it out. It just felt off. I've been here a few times now hoping it would hit different, but it hasn't yet. If you're the owner reading this, I'd just say plan for those post-show rushes. Even one more bartender and a little boost in atmosphere would go a long way. I'll probably still swing back because of the location, but man... I'd love to actually enjoy it next time.

I stopped by here after going to an art reception at the Nnamdi center, which is literally…read morefootsteps away. I ordered one of their spring drinks, the summer fling( which was delicious if a little sweet) and enjoyed the vibes. They had just opened maybe 20 minutes earlier so it was just me and a couple there for probably the first 30 minute but the space started to fill up soon after. It was a vibe. Nice breeze, good drink, AMAZING music and even a delicious smelling incense wafting around. They don't serve food but from my understanding have food trucks on deck daily. When I left I saw one setting up outside called Mittens but did not partake

So I've been here before but it was well over 5 years ago and a very foggy memory. So I ended up…read morecoming back recently on a Saturday evening. Finding street parking was easy. There's folks sitting inside and outside. The vibe is chill grown with mainly after 5 attire but there's no dress code. The inside is small, dim, and cozy.Drinks were good and of decent price. The music is fantastic. All the old school r&b hits you can think of under one roof; even some new school was in the mix. The dj had us locked in! We vibed all night to the music. And our waitress was nice and very attentive. Also heads up..... They do not sell food, but there is a food truck outside (not sure how often they're there or if the truck changes). The food truck we saw was called Cokeys! And you can bring the food back inside the lounge. How awesome is that! We got the chicken sandwich meal (it came with fries). The sandwich was perfectly fried and the fries were perfectly seasoned! It was great relaxing night with much singing, laughter, and chill vibes

Less of my ambivalent opinion was about the bar itself. We went there to check in for a bar crawl…read more Waited outside for 40 minutes. Once checked in we found a bartender quickly, got a shot and a beer. Uncomfortable metal stools and very few tables. No glass with a can of beer. Just meh...

So just to be 100% honest, the well is definitely a dive bar. So you basically get what you get…read morewhen you come here. It has decent music so don't get it twisted, it has plenty of space, they're not a lot of seats though so you'll be standing around most likely. But is a dive bar vibe. Don't expect fancy martinis or anything like that. They always have specials though. So if you can't get your Tito's lemon drop, you can get two for five beers or something LOL. The service is what you would expect from a busy location. I mean, it's pretty much nothing but bar so with only like two bartenders you got to wait at the end of the day. So just be conscientious of that and give it Grace because you are getting a service that you expect to come to contact with while you walk into a dive bar. I've been going there for years. Well before I moved, it is a staple and I feel like it's never going to die. It is always consistent and it'll give you exactly what you need. It's really good for pre-drinking because of drinks are fairly cheap, so keep that in mind. If you do go, you might want to go ahead and consider parking. Parking is going to be street parking because there's no lot specifically for this establishment. But there is plenty of parking in after a certain time in Detroit it's going to be free. If you are going to go ahead and do the well, it's best to go ahead and start the night with that so you don't have to worry about too many expensive drinks your at your actual location. And then after that You may want to consider finishing the night there. After you've had all the fancy dinners and stuff, if you want to go ahead and wrap up the night with a couple of cheap drinks, this is the place for you.

The club was packed by the time we left. They have security checking ID's at the door. There was a $20 cover charge. When you first walk in it's the lounge area. People are chilling on couches. They're drinking and eating food. I'm not sure what's on the menu, I didn't get any food. You walk outside to the patio area and that's where the dance floor is. There's also a small bar. They have a live DJ spinning the music. We danced and had a good time. Thanks to the in laws for taking us out.

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.
