Just moved to the area and are looking for a neighborhood bar. Came in on a quiet night. Hubby and…read moreI were one of 4 people in the bar. Bud Select and Mich Light are the two draft options (yuck!). Thought of staying for a second beer until getting creepered by a weirdo (who apparently just got out of rehab). At least for as crappy as it was, it should have been cheap- it wasn't. Sorry Gabby's, but I don't think we'll be returning.

We went on a Redford bar tour, and made Gabby's a stop. The bar only had 2, rather gritty looking,…read morecustomers when we arrived. Good thing, as this place is miniscule. You won't find a pool table in here, only a very crowded dart board area and a cramped video game. Had a nice, but pricey, internet juke box. Beers were reasonable, but no Heineken and poor draft choices. Liquor selection could have been vaster. Food was cheap, but bad enough that we didn't finish ours. Bartender was nice, though not the sharpest dart on the board. One of the customers claimed that they remove their tops occasionally, but we didn't see that, nor would we want to on this matron. Definitely lacks any atmosphere, even as a dive bar. Would be a great place to hide from someone. As the 5th stop on our Redford tour so far, this place is the least inviting, and the last we would return to. Sorry Gabby's, but 3 years later, we have to agree with the Keara K. review.

BARTENDER - PAGE ================= Page made eye contact, smiled and welcomed me to The Blue Moose Tavern as soon as I walked in the door and asked me "What would you like to drink tonight?". I asked for a Coca-Cola. it was served Ice Cold but tasted funny. I asked for a Ice Water (The Water tasted terrible as if they never cleaned the Fountain Drink Lines ever!) I asked if they had any specials tonight. Page told me today's special was "Buy One, Get One Free Appetizer" (When they ringed up the sale it showed it as 50% Off Tuesday which is misleading, See pictures). I received a Menu and Ordered Mozzerala Cheese Stix 6-Piece for $6.75*, Chicken Wings 6-Piece for $5.95*, Reuben Sandwich for $8.95. The Cheese Stix were the biggest cheese stix I ever seen and well worth the money and tasted good. The Chicken Wings were served hot, very delicious but loaded with salt to encourage you to drink, lol. The Reuben Sandwich served with 1000 island dressing was served hot and loaded with cornbeef and well worth the money. While I was there the bartender yelled for Steve the cook and the manager as a drunken customer was getting out of control. The customer thought this dive was a strip joint because the ladies were wearing fishnet stockings, bikini's or slezy outfits. He appoligized and was allowed to stay. I'm waiting for Jon Taffer from Bar Rescue to come thru that door at any minute. . * Before Tuesday 50% Appetizer Discount . .

SUMMARY: Workers wearing Sleazy Uniforms (Don't recommend bringing childern here), I'm sure alot of guys like that soft of thing, I personally thinks its degrading to women. Friendly service, excellent food, Pop & Water was terrible (Tasted like beverage line was never cleaned). Speed of service is good. I would recommend this restaurant and would return again - 3 of 5 stars

I ordered the catfish, and it was fried exactly the way I like it. It was perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. My friend had the steak bites and said they were cooked perfectly to her liking. The drinks were, of course, just as strong as ever! The bar has plenty of seating with a cozy, dimly lit atmosphere. It got pretty busy while we were there, but our waitress stayed attentive and provided great service the entire time. The music was on point, and there's even a pool table if you're looking to hang out and have some fun. Overall, it's a great neighborhood bar with delicious food, strong drinks, good music, and affordable prices. I'll definitely be back!

Decent food, but forced gratuity and noise levels were a turnoff…read more We recently moved our office to 12 Mile and Northwestern, and while moving wasn't ideal, the upside is I've got plenty of new food spots to explore. I found Red Balloon Saloon on Google Maps--it looked promising, so I met up with a buddy there after work. First impressions were solid: the place looks good inside, with plenty of TVs and even a pool table. We grabbed seats at the bar and started to settle in--until I saw the sign saying they add a mandatory 20% gratuity to all tabs. That's a big issue for me. If tips are guaranteed, where's the motivation for good service? Unfortunately, that concern proved true. It took a while to get our drinks, and we had to flag the bartender down to order appetizers. I got the cheese sticks and my buddy got the catfish. Both were tasty--no complaints on the food. The biggest downside? It was insanely loud. So loud that my Apple Watch actually alerted me about excessive noise levels. It made it really tough to have a conversation, and we ended up leaving early. Even cashing out took longer than it should have. While it's conveniently close to my new office, I don't see myself coming back. The forced gratuity policy and overwhelming noise make it a one-and-done for me.
