But to me now the vibe is hipster, chill, relaxing. Kind! Community oriented. Make sure to check out the involvement later in the year they might even start a photography group! Check it out.

Instead we got to enjoy The Kielbasa Kings! What a fun time!! I was super excited because we haven't been able to enjoy this celebration since pre-covid! But we are baaaaaaccckkk! As usual, we arrived early in the morning. And were one of the first there. We kicked it off with Polish beer and some shots. One of the guys that played in the band went to my highschool and his sister and I know each other so that was a fun surprise! They had a huge tent set up where the band was playing. They made both bathrooms female and brought in a porta potty for the guys. The removed all the furniture so it was standing room only. We got our polka on and had a great time! Great start to the day!!

This is not where you'll get a real upscale craft cocktail or microbrew but the beverages are cold and the price point is right (aka--low). And on Paczki day? It's a real party!

If I have two great loves in my life it has to be dive bars and burgers. Is that weird? Yes. Is it…read moreshallow? Probably. Developed from years of cynicism? Definitely. While I've been disappointed by many a cheeseburger, none has broken my heart... Yet. When the new owners took over Kelly's (the oldest bar in Hamtamck according to themselves) I was for sure expecting a redesign of the bar, the atmosphere and the quality of the burger, but to my personal joy I was happy to see for the most part changed. They fixed up a few things that really needed to be fixed, but they didn't come in and revamp the the look and feel of the bar. The pricing is still good, the bartenders are still bartendery, but most importantly the burgers are still delicious. If you are a fan of smash burgers you will not be disappointed. Excellent in every way, charred exes, juicy ceter great buns. But the real highlight for me (mainly cause I am a fat boy who loves his sugar) was the deep fried uncrustables. Holy yum!!! Such a simple idea, so much flavor. In100% recommend this meal with a couple of delicious drinks.

We hang out in the Hamtramck area frequently, particularly on Fat Tuesday and the Polish Festivals. But one of our friends has started bartending here once a month so we like to come and show him a little love! This is a classic dive bar that's been around for ever! You need to keep that in mind. It is cash only (but they have an ATM). There is no food. You are not going to go in and order a fancy drink. Lol. But they have a good variety. I like to stick with Polish beers and liquors because where else are you going to get that? Suzy comes by frequently so you get to know the owner as well! There is something to see every where you look and something new always catches my eye! Lol. We need to show these old spots a bit of love! Come and check it out!

Locals friendly, bartender friendly and good prices. There's a juke box and the music style played was a lot of punk, I didn't look but I assume there's a selection of more thank that but the music is pretty loud. I can see this as a cool spot to just chill with friends or even alone as there's many people to talk to. It's an interesting location on a neighborhood street and I thought that was pretty cool.

Terrible experience, will never go back. Dolls, please do not go to Port Bar! Incredibly rude,…read moretransphobic men here that are regular patrons of this bar. After staring and talking about us while we were minding our own business playing pool, we were cornered at the table while they made extremely unsolicited, inappropriate comments.

They were repeatedly putting their hands on our backs after being asked to stop as well. They finally went away but then continued to try to engage with us from across the room. Please avoid at all costs! P.S. the bar smells like sewage.
