We decided to go to this place last minute and I'm so glad we did! First impressions: casual, friendly atmosphere, great happy hour deals and super affordable prices overall. Food and drinks were excellent. We will definitely be back! read more

Quick happy hour with mom here to try out the new place. Drink specials are best in town ($3 wells and $6 'speciality' martinis. Burgers are also only $3, and are pretty tasty, tender and moist even if served Medium. As expected, no sides, but their appetizers look good. I had a martini with tequila that tasted slightly too sour, but some of the other drink options looked nice. We sat outside on the patio, would definitely recommend doing so. Only downside was service: while attentive, our server forgot our order after taking it, and the food served didn't match with what we told her. We also noticed she gave the wrong check to the table next to us. Both issues were quickly resolved, so I'll chalk it up to her being new. Anyhow, would recommend, especially if you like to sit outside or are looking for a cheap bite and drink, but don't expect perfect service. read more

It was super tasty. Wings on Monday for 50¢ is clutch. The burger was awesome. Yes yes and yes.

This place is disrespectful to women. Came with a group of girls from out of town and they refused to serve us because we all had out of state IDs and treated us poorly in the process. Stay away if you know what's good for you. read more

This place is perfect for what it is. "Upscale hole-in-wall?" "Fancy dive?" Not sure how to categorize. In any case, best bar burger I've ever had. Fantastic drinks. Cheap prices. Good service. Modest decor, but clean. Give it a try! read more

Old Pony Martini Pub - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Grosse Pointe, Michigan

Absolute favorite bar in Grosse pointe! The pomegranate martini is to die for and unmatched anywhere in the area. My favorite girls there, Rachel and Bobby are so amazing and friendly. Their fun attitude and stories make it a true destination. read more

Service & drinks were 10/10, Nashville Hot Sandwich was to die for. Will be back tomorrow.

Stopped in for drinks and food with 5 friends on a somewhat chilly & rainy night. It is pretty small inside and we soon found accommodating 6 of us inside was not going to work out because of the table sizes. We opted to sit outside under the covering and just put up with the chill, so -1 star on not being able to handle 6 people that want to sit together inside. So - the waitress was very good, she was patient while we perused the many drink options and did a good job bringing everyone what they ordered. We tried each others exotic concoctions and they were all good and reasonably priced under $10. Then on to our food orders. It's a small menu, so I got a burger and a side of onion rings. Don't come here for healthy eating! The burger was absolutely delicious, crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside. A good sauce and condiments. The onion rings were equally good, hot, crisp and real onions inside - not some mush. The burger was only $5 - a bargain in my book. Plus it is somewhat on the smaller side - which is perfect for me - I can never finish giant burgers elsewhere. I'd rather pay less and have a smaller portion that I can actually finish. Everyone loved their food, there was agreement all around that the food and drinks were good, our waitress was good, and we all had fun. Only complaint was the small inside - perhaps if they continue to be popular they'll expand! read more

Burgers are amazing. Chicken sandwich is too. I've loved every Martini I've tried. The hot fries are my favorite fries I've ever had. Great happy hour as well. read more

What a great spot! The food is awesome and so affordable, the drinks are fun and they're always having specials. I hope this place lasts because it's the best new spot GP has seen in far too long read more

This is our go to place since moving to the area six months ago. Awesome specials, delicious cocktails, 50 cent wings on Mondays and knowledgeable friendly staff. Did i mention great specials? Lol different ones every day. Super happy to find this little gem close to home. Go. You won't be disappointed! read more

Old Pony Martini Pub - Garlic wings yum - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Grosse Pointe, Michigan

Good low key spot. The staff is very sociable. Food is very good. Drinks are tasty but strong just like i like them.

I honestly never get enough of this place. The staff is super friendly and accommodating, the prices cannot be beat, and it's really great to have a late-night option in Grosse Pointe. The menu is pretty much traditional, fried bar food; every time I get the wings they're incredibly meaty and well-flavored (tip: 50 cent wings on Mondays!) and the chicken sandwich is superb. They've also got some really adventurous drinks and great nightly specials. As a really great addition, my observation is that this group is also incredibly supportive of other local businesses and endeavors, which I respect so much and makes me excited to keep giving them my business. I'm so happy to have them in our neck of the woods, and am now badly craving some buffalo wings. read more

To be honest the money I've spent in this establishment could have purchased me a house on lakeshore. But old Pony, take my money, take it all. Double burger, a mule, and fries with the cheese on side. Bartenders be the bomb! Love Ole Po'. read more

I love old pony except for the bartender Rachel. She has always been extremely rude for no reason. Only reason why I give it one star. Just don't go when she is working. You will not enjoy the service! read more

Great drink specials. Good food. Dog friendly patio. But very busy (which is understandable due to the aforementioned). You have to plan ahead to come here on the weekend. Cant wait to come back with my doggo Bruno. Chicken sandwich!! read more

Cute small bar, doesn't have the typical GP bubble feeling around it. All the servers we've had thus far have been funny, nice and attentive. It's a fun spot to hangout with friends or to grab a quick bite at night. I recommend the fried mushrooms and hot fries. They have specials going on every day and a fun list of martinis to try. read more

I didn't like this place. I ordered a chicken sandwich and it tasted like it had been frozen and improperly thawed before cooking. In other words, it was tough and very unappealing. I've made that same mistake before in my own kitchen, which is why I normally buy fresh chicken breasts. On a separate occasion, my husband I went there to SPECIFICALLY ORDER A MARTINI. You would think this was the place to go, right? NOT. We asked for a Vesper martini (James Bond style) and the waiter responded "what's that?" So ok, we explained to her what it is and she told the bartender. A few minutes later, she came back and told us the bartender disagreed with our description of a Vesper martini and made it the way he understood it to be (no Lillet). Needless to say, we decided this place was a joke. Never again. read more

If you like things that are mediocre, I recommend the Ye Olde Pony. It is extremely average, which is nice and ok. The food is fine and there is beer, which is normal. The patio might be above average during the summer months, but the tight confines of the interior is subpar during the winter months, so it all evens out. Overall, I say it's better than really bad places, but not as good as other spots that I enjoy. read more

Back to update my review of Old Pony from a year ago. Still great food. The chicken tenders and dill fries are beyond delicious. My husband and I are glad to see that you are still bringing in the crowds. The staff has been updated and a few bad servers are gone. Thank you management. Food prices are still the best in the Pointes and portions are generous. We prefer to go on a Sunday, Monday or Friday when Bobbie is behind the bar. All the customers love her. Brittany is our favorite server. The Dorrito burger that was a special for 1 week needs to be ON the menu. We can proudly consider ourselves regulars. read more

This is not a classy place. That was my expectation. My bad. But the staff are really great. They work hard and provide great service. But they are treated like shit. And I heard that from them. No holidays off. Minimal staffing. Come on management and owners. If you're in Grosse Pointe, step up to the big boy table and pay and treat your exceptional staff with some respect. read more

Great food! Wonderful Martinis! A little noisy! Fun place to grab a burger! Try to sit outside!

A great place to catch up with friends. The wings are near perfect, classic, chicken wings. Monday night 50 cent wing night is a weekly must. And the waitress Brittany is the best! read more

See all

Had some great drinks Georgia mule and the buffalo wings, garlic dill fries and portobello tenders were awesome, atmosphere and waitstaff were fantastic read more

This is a neat addition to the village of grosse pointe. Great specials run all week, attentive staff, fun music and they serve food until 1am! Thursday's are $5 Mules-- and they have all sorts of different kinds. I stuck with a filthy dirty vodka martini, and it definitely lived up to my expectations. read more

Fantastic local place for great drinks With awesome food to boot! Me and my wife Stopped in recently and had an all around Wonderful time. Highly recomended!! read more

The kitchen is open late which is reason enough to come here. However the bar is also super clean and friendly and makes awesome martinis. The tables are built for intimate conversations with back ground music perfect level. read more

Great neighborhood bar with an unbeatable $3.50 cheeseburger special during 3-5p happy hour. Cheeseburger + Hott Fries is the way to go! Have been here many times, and have never been disappointed by the food, drinks, or service. The staff is excellent too, always friendly and attentive without being pushy. read more

Love this place!! Small, cozy little bar that has a limited menu. Have great happy hours. $2.50 beers, $6 signature martinis, $3 cheeseburgers. Oh,can't forget .50 wings after 7 on Monday's. Place has a great drink and martini menu as well as decent beer selection. Bartenders are friendly and can help u pick out the drink that's for you. Always have good music playing and bathrooms are always clean. Only advice is turn your beer cooler down (beer wasn't the coldest). Maybe I caught them during restock. read more

Old Pony Martini Pub - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Grosse Pointe, Michigan

5 stars. Done. Simple. Mushrooms are great. Cocktails even better. Keep it simple - that's all it takes. LOVE this simple place.

Love this place! We have closed it several times. Food is great, excellent drinks, and the lonely GP Cougars.. well they are just looking for attention read more

Stopped in during a little rain while waiting on a pizza. Awesome spot with a dog friendly patio. Probably one of the best HH around and well enjoyed by many on a Friday night. Where can you get a great cheese burger for that price? It's a first for me. The cocktails were unique and delicious. They have a special drink each day, which we did order. Friendly staff and fast service. read more

Great food & drinks! Can't beat the daily specials. Staff is down to earth and friendly. Best bar in the village

Update! Hands down the best crispy chicken sandwich ever! The garlic dill fries are excellent as are the wings. Great prices, great food, and great ambience. My husband and I look forward to our nights at the Old Pony! read more

Best burgers for best price period. Extensive drink menu and great happy hour prices. However, service from waitresses is so-so. The bartenders have always been nice and great but we had a lady that denied to split up our bills for a group of 10, which is a load of crap and laziness. She also has a crappy attitude the whole time, in all fairness could have been a bad day and only reason I don't give this place a 5 Star. read more

The bartender was super rude And the decor on the wall fell on one of our party members head. Gross place, small area, terrible service would never go there again. read more

Enjoyed the burger, dill fries and mules. Caught the happy hour special for miles, couldn't beat the price. Was busy but spaced out well. We saw the server and bartender sanitizing frequently. We will come again. read more
