    Found this place while trying to find a restaurant with heated outside dining. Being familiar with the McVee's in Southfield I was surprised that they had opened this location. They opened in February 2020 a little before COVID shut everything down and I think that is why people might not be aware of it. I'm happy that I found it because the service was excellent and our food was really good also...can't forget the drinks yummy!! They are practicing social distance and following our state guidelines so there was only a sprinkle of people seated. I didn't get a chance to check-in or snap many pictures because I had left my phone at home and had to use my husband's phone UGH!! Anywho, our waitress was very nice and was on point with everything. I can't wait to go back once things get back to normal and when we have warmer days.

    Newest location with lots of parking and easy to get to if you live in the northern suburbs of Detroit. Cool steampunk deco but still have plenty of TV screens to watch your favorite sport. You can even sit at tables next to the fire pit. Has kids' menu for families. A wide variety of choices that even my picky ex husband could find something. My sirloin tips was a miss. Tried them to taste their zip sauce, but wasn't impressed. The French onion soup was delicious and on my top 10 list. Others choices were enjoyed and the club sandwich was huge. They have diet Coke and a good bread basket. Little far from where I live but might try their Southfield location.

    Wednesday $6.99 burger and fries (spend the $ and upgrade to the waffle fries!)
    Amanda B.

    On Wednesday nights they do $6.99 burgers and steak fries (for an up-charge you can swap steak fries for waffle fries, sweet potato fries, or onion rings); cheese and bacon can be added for an up-charge too. The three of us eating all had the burgers and all were cooked perfectly to our specifications; silence descended on the table as we mowed through this burgers! I had the waffle fries which were crispy and delicious, and my husband had upgraded to the onion rings, which were also good. My husband and i also split a side salad which was nothing sexy. Only reasons I took a star off: music in the bar side is too loud so it was really hard to hear each other; service was meh; my friend ordered a cocktail and wasn't asked what kind of alcohol she wanted and bartender used cheapest kind and my pal said she could tell. Room for improvement, but nothing that'll keep us from going back for those tasty burgers!!

    $9 Gyro Wrap with two pieces of leather

    The mediocre burgers and salads are $17.99 here! For prices like this, you can find higher end restaurants on Big Beaver that will provide far better food. My friend ordered a Gyro wrap for $9 and it came with only two tiny dry pieces of meat and tart sour sauce (their attempt at cucumber sauce?)

    I'm going to give it a 4 star because the service was amazing!!! I wasn't blown away by the food, but they definitely have good service at this place. It would make me give the food another shot. It's also super cute in the inside and outside heated patio!

    The menu of what I was supposed to get and didn't.

    First and last time there this evening. Walked in and the the hostess was rude right off the bat. Told her we made reservations via Goggle for a high table. We sat by the service door and every time they opened it it was freezing. Ordered drinks those were standard. Someone had said get the Jumbo Shrimp, ordered it and you have a choice of breaded, scampi, or grilled. I went with the scampi. The server ( don't think she liked her job) brought back our food and put a bowl of Shrimp Scampi in front of me and everyone looked at it. We all waited for her to bring something else with it. When the server came back, I asked if this came with anything else like the menu said and she said no. I said for 17.99 I get a bowl with some shrimp and she said yes. If you look at the photo from the menu it said otherwise. Other friends food was okay, but they even said we will never come back either. One ordered an appetizer and after asked to order food the server said I already gave you food. We ended up cashing out and went elsewhere.

    Not a comfortable environment during Covid-19. Servers are very lax about wearing masks and seating tables 6 feet apart.

    I really don't know how to rate this place.I'm so confused. I've been meaning to come here for a…read morewhile, but always forget. Finally stumbled in on a Sunday afternoon, and secretly loved it here. When I walked in, I immediately thought "is this an off shoot of Red Coat Tavern before it was Red Coat Tavern? Why does it look like a Mafia place from the 1970's with a 1995 sports bar feel?" I find I'm still thinking about this place even days later. No, it's not the coolest place in town, but I kind of like it because it's a typical bar with regulars and randoms like me. I decided to grab a mid afternoon bite and didn't want to be bothered with the usual places as I have grown tired of them. Also, there's this new thing called Yelp Cash Back, and this was the closest place to me that does it, and since I don't know much about Yelp Cash Back, I wanted to see if it really worked. Anyways, I scoured the menu and found a BBQ burger that sounded right up my alley. The bartender was also my server, and she was miraculously running the whole area by herself. Mind you, when I got here, it was dead. There was me, in a booth far far away, and two older dudes who were clearly regulars watching football on the TV's over the bar. Clearly, the two guys and the bartender were familiar with each other, and I secretly loved it, and watched as they interacted amoungst each other. Gave me a cheers feeling that sometimes you don't always find anymore. My burger came out with fries, and it was a okay. Nothing exciting really, but good non the less. I polished it off with the fries and downed a sprite since I wasn't in the mood to have any booze. Another reason I like this place is because it seems to be douchebag free. Honest good people without an agenda. As time went on during my meal, more people started rolling in. Some of them were regulars, as they were warmly greeted by name from the bartender, and asked if she could get them their "usual" beer and meal. Again, loved it. I should also give my props to the bartender. She was hilarious without knowing it. When I walked in, she greeted me immediately, and asked how I was doing. After my eyes adjusted to the light, I realized she was bundled up in about 12 coats, a hoodie, and stated that she was freezing since the cold air was blasting her every time the door opened. I have no clue what this place is like when it's busy, but it's a nice casual atmosphere. I would gladly return in the future even though it's not the most remarkable place in town, but I still love it. The food was decent, loved the atmosphere and for $9, I got a burger, fries and a Sprite. $9!

    Went here for dinner and it was trivia night. Lots of people, but no wait for a table, the music…read morewasn't too loud and our waitress Olivia was super nice. Had the appetizer steak bites which are very tasty (just wish there were more for the $18 price) and my husband had a burger which he loved, perfectly seasoned and an actual burger that was more than a 1/2 inch thick. I ordered fish and chips. It was probably some of the best I've ever had, lightly breaded but not the usual tempura batter (you know, the stuff you bite into and it's soft and white on the inside or completely falls off the fish). They were crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside. We will definitely be going back there.

Are you guys going to respond to the alleged sexual predator issue going on with your head manager Jacob Wutka or what? A post (the text in quotes below) is circulating around, there are plenty of comments from past employees corroborating your guys hiring of and keeping predators employed and these comments talk about this issue being existent years ago. Time to address this regardless of what is going on. You cannot run from this. We will not let it happen. The circulating post: "Meet Jake. Jake is a current registered child registered sex offender who is a current employee at the Hamlin Pub in the downtown Rochester area. Jake was charged with having sensually charged contact with a minor under the age of 18. Jake was involved some time back in a sting operation ran by none other than Chris Hansen, which led to his initial charges and current status as a child sex offender. As a former employee of hamlin pub who worked closely with Jake for the last couple of months without any knowledge of his past crimes, I am very well informed by the fact that, since he is employed as a head manager at this Hamlin Pub location, has minors from high-school around the surrounding area (adams, rochester, stoney creek) currently working and employed under his care. I made my own attempt to confront management and ownership of the fact that they currently employ a registered child sex offender with the management and supervision over minors in high-school, I was subsequently and permanent tresspassed from the property on part of management and ownership as a result of bringing this information to light. Please do your due diligence to make this individual famous around your own communities and around the rochester and rochester hills areas as well. Please share this post with friends, family and neighbors so that we can cultivate a culture of accountability towards these deplorable sex criminals within our own communities. Jake clearly shows within his own mugshot that he expresses no remorse for any of his actions or criminal conduct, and should be placed in an environment in which high-school minors are frequently employed at. Here is the address and contact info of the hamlin pub in rochester: +12489632252 1488 N Rochester Rd, Rochester Hills, MI 48307"

I really need to and plan to return to the original location in downtown Detroit. I just feel the chicken wings are more flavorful and my hummer ice cream cocktail is delicious at that location. Service has been good both times here. The waiters are pleasant. The ambiance is decent and it's a small bar with booths and tables. It's not fancy and more of a hole in the wall. The food is hit or miss. The chicken wings can be good and they can also be just ok. The fries were hot, crispy and tasty on this visit. This visit the wings were ok. The steak bites were good. I enjoyed the steak bites more than the signature wings. The steak bites were well seasoned with onions and mushrooms. The mushrooms were canned mushrooms though. Then with the A1 Sauce added it was a good. The drinks are STRONG. I can say this is a great thing. Overall an average visit. I probably will try another location and see if the hype is still there.
