It's definitely a dive bar that's a little sketchy and for sure a little dirty but I wasn't there to eat. The bartender was friendly and welcoming and the drinks were cheap. They have a TouchTunes jukebox in there and the few regulars that were there were playing some great music. It looks like a place where they don't get a lot of new folks but everyone was nice to us. I got to play keno, watch sports highlights on the big screen, and drink Crown Royal on the cheap. Can't ask for much more than that! read more

I've visited a few times and had fun each time. They have a game room, TouchTunes jukebox, darts, area for live music and plenty of seating. They don't have any beer on tap. They're likely to run out of beer while you're there. I know from experience. It's so divey that you just have to laugh it off. It can get lively on weekends, but for the most part, it's kinda dead. I can't really explain why I like this place. I don't fit in with the old, white dude populous usually found here. I've had a couple good visits and my bills have been really cheap. I like Jill the bartender. But overall, it's incredibly outdated and rundown but a good place for a cheap beer or shot. read more

I parked behind this business today in a shared parking lot to go get lunch at Butcher's and a man associated with this business knocked on my window and asked if I was visiting the lounge and I said no and he said I can't park there cause it's private property even though there was no no parking sign. He then proceeded to try to open all my car doors. He then barricaded my car in with orange cones and proceeded to throw salt all over my car, followed by shoveled snow and cig buds. He then bashed my side mirror in and started to flick my rear windshield wiper aggressively. He threatened to have me towed and made a homemade paper sign saying "no parking a**hole." At one point he added cinder blocks and boxes to his barricade. Police show up and he starts straggling to remove the barricade and then explains he was cleaning the lot. The police noted the damage to my car and also told him there was cig buds on it and they knew the truth. The police took info and told him he needed to get a sign if he didn't want people to park there. I am ethnically Chaldean Iraqi and I truly believe this situation was racially driven. This man is unhinged and I wouldn't visit any business he manages or owns if you value your safety. read more

New Place Lounge - a man standing in the rain - Bars Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

I hardly know where to begin. It's a dive bar which is cool but not the kind of dive bar you want to hang out in. The side wall along the booths is covered in plywood. They advertised best burger in town but it was actually very dry. They also advertise schnitzel but there was none. No menu at all. The beer selection is decent. Juke box playing classic rock and hair metal. There were only a few persons in there. Dirty. A stage, many tables and chairs, beautiful wainscoting, semblance that it was a nice place at one time. Or at least popular. Someone could come in and really make a go of this place especially given that Chelis is gone. I'd recommend Biergarten or Millers at that caliber. A step up would be Bar Louie. Dearborn has really over commercialized and lost its character. I'm sorry to see this. No boutique businesses anymore. read more

See all

Dirty floors, tables, dishes, gross restrooms, literally a broken floor, lousy and old seating and booths, no beer on tap... Food all tastes like it's from the freezer probly brought in by "a guy we know" lifted third hand from an old broken down sysco truck parked under a bridge. I suppose if you're drunk enough... Nope. Not good. read more

Super nice staff! Cheap drinks & a nice chill environment. I'll definitely come back if I'm in the area.

We went to this place on a Saturday night around Xmas. They had a live band in there... and while they were quite good, it was way to loud for such a small place. Even w/o the band, there is no way that you would have been able to talk at a reasonable level w/ any of the people that you went to the bar with. So, quickly, we gave up on having a conversation. But it was still pretty cool to have a place in Dearborn provide some live music. The beer is pretty weak - but totally expected. I did not eat any food, and from what some of the other Yelpers have said, I'm glad that I didn't. Though by that point, even "gruel for the obese" (- Dan R.) might have been a good idea since I completely skipped dinner. Oopsie. But maybe a liquid meal was the best choice anyway. read more

How about it for Karaoke. Standard downriver bar. Cheap beer, smelly bathrooms, smoky. Edited...standard downriver bar, set in Dearborn. The rest still applies. read more

This is a great place, yea its a bummer when they run out of certain things, especially the liquid things... but it is a great place to meet with friends for a drink, and for live bands after 9pm it has a great space... don't be afraid to try new things, johnny vegas is a great shot but even better as a tall drink on a hot day... mix it up with different puckers. Burgers... what can I say, other than they rock... always cooked to perfection!!! read more

It's a Dearborn bar with a down river feel- pull out a map kids.... Downriver shows up on wiki, it's official. I don't eat here, it's more of a drinking establishment with Karaoke on Thursday's. There is a game room with pinball machines, a pool table, a Foosball table and perhaps another arcade game all under the watchful observation of many mounted animal's. Touch it, touch the moose... read more

Horrible place. Smelly, run down, nothing on tap, and the WORST service I have ever had. Barmaid/owner had the worst attitude I have ever experienced at any place of business. My wife and I left 5 minutes after sitting down, that's all it took for that "woman" to turn us away. read more

A friend recommended this bar. Most nights it's empty except for a group of mismatch regulars mostly over 45. It seems to bring in an older crowd. It's rather inexpensive and the drinks are strong. I had a vodka tonic that knocked me on my butt! The regular bartender is either super nice and helpful or Wickedly rude. I guess it depends on the night. The game room is pretty cool the have a variety of arcade games and pool tables. The bathrooms are icky. Not sure who puts carpet in a bar bathroom. Just ewww, remember you're purell. read more

great place to go people are friendly lisa the bartender is simply the best makes great drinks and food its old school feel is whats the best like when you where young good bands also read more

I choose 5 stars because it was a wild place in the seventies. Amazing I never got busted for drunk driving. WHEW!! I would probably give one or two stars after reading other peoples reviews. Here's one example that I saw there more then once. There was a guy who would bight into a water glass and eat some of the glass if you bought him a beer. We use to laugh our ass's off at him but it was very pathetic. And we weren't any better then him to sit and watch him eat a glass for a beer. 3:34am im off to bed read more

PEPPER BURGER heaven Live music Fun place to watch game or play pool Very casual been around for 40 years read more

Awful! Do not go here! The owner/manager is as rude and unprofessional as can be. Our interaction with him quickly had us heading somewhere else to give our business. read more

I don't tolerate those glossy pretentious martini bar joints with the 100" televisions on every wall. The New Place keeps it real with cheap, well poured drinks, righteous food and good people. It's a cool hang and a virtual Dearborn landmark for live music. I can't count the great live acts I've seen in this unassuming establishment. It's infinitely more fun to hang out and shoot pool with a killer band at "The Newper" then it is to go to some plexiglass facade where the D.J. is fast asleep and drooling on his laptop.... read more

My first time in this dive bar. What a wonderful experience, strong, cheap drinks, a warm inviting short barmaid and plush carpet keeping the bathroom warm in the dead of winter. I had a bite of my friend's burger and it was delicious! I will be back soon and often. Only complaint, why is the barmaid so short? read more

My favorite place. Monday nights after 7pm get great spaghetti & salad dinner and a beer for 6 bucks.

The food was great and fast! We had the bacon cheeseburger and chicken sandwich. The burger was super thick and cooked perfectly. The chicken was seasoned well. There were tons of beer choices to pick from and some new ones also. This place is a hidden gem in Dearborn with an old school vibe. We are definitely coming back! read more
