Only suggestions for improvement: the HVAC system or a fan in the ceiling makes a ticking sound. Really noticable when the comedian is silent. The drinks could have been better. Ordered two gin gimlets Could barely finish one and placed the second one on the bar. Suspect person poured sour mix in my drink instead of lime. Waste of money, but I was happy to see Ian.

Loved the comedian we bought tickets to see, but communication with this venue is terrible. Went to…read morethe box office two hours before a Friday show to purchase tickets. They don't answer the phone but say that's when they're open. No one was there at the desk. A staff member at Hockeytown told me they might be there an 1.5 before a show. So I kill another hour to be safe and come back. Wait in line, buy two tickets for a show in a few weeks. I'm a former customer on their email list. Give my email and they promise to email the tickets. It's a week before the show and I realize I have no tickets. Call the main line, email twice. No response until two days before. They finally send my tickets (no they weren't in my spam folder). I see all the service charges and processing fee bs that I'd get if I bought them online instead of driving there to save the fees. In fact, the charge was MORE than if I had purchased online. I've seen two shows here and like the intimate venue, but won't purchase tickets again until they get rid of their junk fees for in person purchases. In addition, the parking lot nextdoor that's literally connected charges $45 to park for an hour show. More than the cost of your ticket. No thanks.

Been here many times for different concerts and it's a HIT every time!…read more From the main floor, to high top seats by the sound booth, to balcony seats, there isn't a bad spot here to experience your favorite band or act. Many show up early and start the line that winds around the building so be ready for that. Rain, shine or snow! Haven't ordered any food here through all the concerts we've been to but have purchased a few cocktails and beers and the prices are reasonable for a venue like this. Cheaper than an arena that's for sure! The lights and sometimes the pyro that is allowed here is top notch. Mixed with the sound that rocks your chest (depending on the band of course), you get your money's worth. All of the ones we've been too have "gone over the specified time". Whatever that means, we're enjoying it. Whether it's the FIlmore's doing or the band's doing by feeding off of the crowd's energy, we'll always stick around longer!

We started out with Happy Hour at The Fillmore Detroit Bar for food and a refreshing drink. The bar is the former State Bar. It is a cool place to chill and the service was very quick. I had a Watermelon Lemonade Riffresher, chicken tenders and fries. It was an excellent venue for us to hear from author Kamala Harris to talk about her new book, 107 Days. She was delivering a message on her short road to the presidential campaign and the state of affairs today that have many U. S. Citizens feeling emotionally hijacked....but I digress. This was a great opportunity to experience in such a beautiful venue. It truly reminded me of a more intimate Fox Theatre.

However, many of the attendees were extremely frustrated because although we arrived to the theater 40 minutes before show time, there was an extremely long line outside of the Fox Theatre with people waiting to get through security. People were filing into the theater and taking their seats for the first 20 minutes of the show due to this delay. A woman who I spoke to while waiting in line stated that she had the same issue with them the week prior. So my advice is to arrive to the theater as early as possible so when they open the doors, you are at the front of the security line and don't miss any of the show you paid good money for!

The first batch of bread we got was so hard. We did get a fresh batch that was 10x better but that first batch was traumatizing.

A friend of mine arranged a group event for the ladies to get together to attend Trap Bingo Brunch…read morehere. I had yet to have an opportunity to go here so I was really looking forward to it. The flyer indicates that doors open at 10:30 for an eleven o'clock start time. The vestibule quickly filled with other attendees and we began to wonder what the delay was. A gentleman introduced himself as Eugene to the crowd and advised that doors actually open at 11 to allow time for the catered food to be brought in and set up. This allows for a smooth experience once guests enter. He indicated that brunch was an additional $20, payable at the time of check-in. After a short time, he came back and we were allowed into the lobby area. There were a few tables set up in the area while we waited for staff to check-in. When checking in and adding the brunch option, I was told $39.31 for my total. Having already paid $5 for the bingo entry, I was confused as to how the $20 price seemed to double. There wasn't a sufficient reasoning offered and given we would be there until 3PM, I opted to pay it. In reviewing my receipt, the charge was $31.20 plus tax AND 20% gratuity added. After checking in we were still held to the lobby area as preference for seating was given to those who had reserved tables to enter first. Once we were able to enter the space and get seated. We learned that there were lines you had to get into to order drinks, so there were no servers. It was after 12 o'clock before we were able to line up for brunch. The narrow hallway we were in was serving multiple purposes. There was a line in the opposite direction leading to a bartender, staff was traveling down the middle of the same hallway to replenish food and those who had their plates also had to travel down the center to get back to their seats. Plates were piled high and food looked delicious. By the time I reached the front of the line, there were only two people serving the food. There were a few options people from my party received that were no longer available. Not surprising given the number of plates I'd seen that had huge portions of items on them. The trap music played during all of this kept the mood light despite the disappointment of how things were going. Bingo only accounted for the last hour or so of the event and was R&B songs not trap. Each person was only provided one board. Some of our party decided to leave so a couple of us ended up with two boards which was the amount we anticipated receiving for the $5 charge. It was never shared what the prize was for winning bingo. Overall the experience was lackluster for me. The food from what I could tell was decent. I had gravy and rice as they had had run out of the turkey meat and shrimp they had for shrimp and grits but they were out of grits. There was acknowledgment on their end that the event experience wasn't up to par. Complimentary tickets to the comedy show later that evening were offered to some patrons. I opted to get one in hopes of a better experience. The check-in experience was much better. Staff never reached our table for us to make any food or beverage purchases. Comedian's performance was phenomenal. After the show, we went over to Day Day's for the after party. We were hungry since we hadn't eaten since earlier. Only bar menu items were available. After waving down a staff member we were told that we needed to go to the bar to order. Fortunately, one of the servers came by a few minutes later and asked if we wanted to order anything. We all got orders of salmon sliders. The portion was ample and the sliders and fries were flavorful. I've heard so many great things about this place so to have experienced all this in one day was extremely disappointing.

I've been singing karaoke since 1997 and no place I've been to can rival the talent that walks through these doors. Many wonderful voices at Bert's. As for the food and service, it leaves quite a bit to be desired. First of all everything is expensive which isn't the issue but just brace yourself for high prices. Second the service is almost nonexistent. I came here for two weeks in a row. Karaoke starts roughly at noon and goes until 7 PM. So it's a long show. Got here both times when it started so our group could get a table. First week the service was decent and our waitress had our drinks out pretty fast considering how busy it was. I ordered the chili cheese fries and got a massive amount on my plate. It was $12 but I had more than half left to take home with me. My friend ordered the half slab of ribs with greens and Mac n cheese as sides. The following Saturday it took 20 min for a server to even take our drink orders then another 30 min to get the drinks even though the bar is close to all the tables. The food was dumped no front of us in to go containers. When I asked why it was in Styrofoam since we were dining in our waiter said we only do Styrofoam we don't do dine in. Funny because last week everyone was served on plates. It gets worse. The burger which is supposed to be a half pound and is $15 was no bigger than a McDonald's hamburger patty and well done (I ordered it medium). Like hockey puck well done although a hockey puck is much thicker so that would've been more welcomed. After waiting two hours to get our food we were just happy to have something in front of us. It was like one week to the next was night and day different. When it was time to pay it took our server 50 min to cash us out and run my debit card. Some one at another table we were chatting with could see how long this was taking and got up to find our waiter and get me back my debit card so we could finally leave. Totally unacceptable service. I think the answer, fellow Yelpers, is go to Bert's for the entertainment. The karaoke show alone is worth seeing. Skip the food and maybe sit at the bar for faster service or be prepared to wait a while to get drinks.

We parked at the Port Authority garage, which is the best option but is pricey. You board, and are directed to a deck and table number, they have three decks that can serve food and they use them as needed for the tickets sold for that cruise. You then are free to go to the buffet tables and get food as you wish. Even taking into account the cruising and show offered, the food was only okay. The mushrooms were margional, and the rare beef was only okay (oddly, the medium beef was more tasty). Drink must be paid for with a card, even soda pop, and are pricey. Staff was nice. The show was okay, it made me think of a temu Four Pops. They were trying, and decent. I ended up going on deck to watch the river go by, and going down past Belle Isle and downtown and down almost to the new bridge was the best part.

Facility is clean and has such beautiful architecture. Acoustics are wonderful and there are no "bad seats". The show was AMAZING and my seat was fantastic. Back of the main floor on the aisle, which meant seamless entry and exit. There are plenty of restrooms on each floor and they are very clean. In addition, snacks are available for purchase. Merchandise selection was great and they had some pretty nice bundle deals. I purchased a blanket, Hakuna Matata tea mug and received a tote bag for $65. This is a traveling production. I highly recommend seeing it! The stage, costumes, music, and story are heartwarming. A great night out in Downtown Detroit!
