We stopped in for a quick nightcap near closing time, so it was pretty quiet and we had great…read moreservice at the bar. The bartender was friendly and patient and gave some good recommendations. We only had one drink each, but I enjoyed my cider -- not too sweet. Nate liked his beer as well. I would be interested in coming back in the future to try some food at this spot as it's in a great location in the heart of downtown.

To start, the hours didn't appear to correct as we tried to go on a Thursday night at 9pm and they…read morewere closed. We were staying next door at The Siren, so we stopped Friday morning. We sat at the bar and the bartender was friendly enough, but seemed bored and disappeared quite frequently. Being vegetarians, we asked if there was a smaller side option to get the Cheese & Potato Pierogies (without sausage). The bartender said, yes, we can do them without sausage. We ended up paying for the full portion at full price; our mistake for not clarifying or being more specific. $18 for 5 pierogies is just a bit steep. The beers we tried were fine, but nothing to write home about. I would skip this stop on our next trip to Detroit. There are just better options around the city.

I really enjoyed this place. There was a live DJ that played some good music. The drinks were…read morepretty pricey and not worth it in my opinion. The vibes of the location is what kept me there most of the night. Because it is downtown Detroit street parking on the weekends is always hard to find. So paying to park in the garage I would recommend. There were plenty of tables and seating. We did have to share and wait for some of the games to be available but everybody was friendly and generous with sharing the games. You do have to purchase tokens from the booth located inside to purchase drinks at the bar. The lady in the booth was very friendly and answered all my questions with that being my first time there.

We came here to watch the Super Bowl. The token thing is interesting. I can see it coming in handy…read morethough, you pay once and then you don't have to deal with getting your wallet out or having a tab only. It can be more challenging for those of us who can't predict the future and won't know how much we will want. We felt like getting 2 beers each felt like a fair assessment of our projected time spent at this place and it turned out to be decently accurate. The beer list online (which I reviewed to prepare myself) was not entirely accurate. Their beer list on the wall didn't really explain what anything was so for people, such as myself, from outside the area and unfamiliar with the local breweries it was a challenge. I can see how it would be fun to come here with a group.

Dear reader, The…read moreDetroiter Bar was a thoroughly good stop before the Tigers game and exactly the sort of place one hopes to find before heading to the stadium. The service was very quick, the staff was nice, and the whole place had an easygoing sports bar energy that made settling in quite simple. They also have a lot of TVs, which made it easy to keep an eye on various games while waiting for first pitch. The food did its part very nicely as well. There were some great bar bites to choose from, and the wings and chicken tenders were both a very good decision. Add in the great prices and the efficient service, and the whole thing felt like a proper pregame success. Overall, a lively, reliable stop and one I would happily make again.

BBB was average fare. We stopped by for dinner before a run of The Lion King around the corner, and…read morewe were stuck at a table in the far back of the restaurant. I like the order-taking system with the dry-erase pens and being able to pick out specific items for the burgers...but the burgers were pretty plain, no matter what the toppings were, because the beef was only so-so. (The fries, meanwhile, were pretty solid.) Also, I had to send a milkshake back because it was basically a glass of chocolate milk; the second version was a little thicker, but the flavor was not overpowering. If you are in desperate need of a burger, BBB might do the trick. From a quality perspective, I'm sure you can do better!

Stopped into TAP at the MGM Grand for a late, light lunch. I wanted to take it easy and "pregame"…read morefor a big dinner later this evening, so a salad felt like the right move. Fair to say the Asian Chicken Salad is good, but not great. It's a massive portion with plenty of Napa cabbage and spinach, providing that much-needed crunch. However, the grilled chicken was a bit of a letdown--it really needed more flavor and seasoning to hold its own. The saving grace and clear highlight were the spiced cashews. They actually had some personality and stood out as the best part of the dish. It's a solid enough choice if you're looking to stay on the healthy side while hanging out in a sports bar, but it's not a "must-order. Plenty of screens for sports viewing, and lots of beers on tap (obviously), staff service was good.

I stayed at the MGM Grand Detroit last night after being displaced by a multi‑day power outage, and…read moreI had my 16‑year‑old dog with me. She's in poor health, and in the chaos of leaving home I forgot to bring something to wrap her nighttime medication in. Since TAP has turkey sandwiches on their menu, I explained that I was a hotel guest and asked if they could spare a small piece of turkey - just enough to wrap a pill in for an elderly dog upstairs. A kitchen worker (who was very nice, by the way) offered to check, but the chef refused outright. Not "this is against XYZ policy," not "we're too busy," just a flat no. I was standing right there for the entire exchange. Anyone genuinely suited to a hospitality role would have recognized this as an easy moment to generate some goodwill, but instead, the chef shut it down without a second thought. I spent a lot to stay at the MGM Grand Detroit Hotel, and this interaction left a genuinely negative impression of MGM overall. It made an already difficult day worse. I truly hope the individual who refused this request can one day recognize that hospitality is built on moments exactly like this.

Really friendly service from start to finish, starting with the doormen all the way to the hostess and then the bartender. Everyone seemed like they were in a great mood, and this was a great spot to kick off my trip to Detroit. I went with the Cigar City Brewing Co IPA and it was crisp and delicious! The inside of the club was nice, but only complaint was they could do with more ambiance/dimmed lighting. It was a little too bright for a club. The rooftop has great views, a small fire pit, and several chairs around it. Probably 180 degrees unobstructed view, so could be great for a nice (panoramic) photo of the city or a selfie. I'll definitely be back on my next trip!

Must try: Detroiter!…read more Why: That's some dang good pizza! Detroiter had Wisconsin brick cheese, pepperoni, tomato basil sauce, and Parmesan cheese. There was a nice subtle spice kick to it. Love the crispy edges and gooey cheese. Savored each bite and devoured all 4 pieces. Notes: I ordered via DoorDash and it originally said 30 mins but it was done in less than 20 mins. Worker was welcoming and friendly at takeout counter. I took it back to my hotel only a couple blocks away and the pizza was still hot. Def coming back for more when I'm back in town.

The location is great. The design is good. There were many employees and it seemed constant -- constant, not busy. I left my headphones and asked a server to simply ask if any of her co-workers had any. A half hour later, I asked her about headphones again, and she told me the restaurant was busy and she didn't ask. I thought wow -- sister-to-sister, you didn't even bother to ask. I told her I would buy them, rent them, I just needed to jump on a Zoom. I jumped on anyway, I just couldn't participate the way I wanted to. The restaurant has a bar of about a dozen stools. There was one bartender. In all my life, I've never seen a bartender move this slowly. I don't know if it was me, but she definitely found every excuse she could to wait on me last. Most bartenders are very personable, a bit flashy, competent . . . she was slow, flat and dare I say, she doesn't like her job? I was blown away. I'm glad I made it to Buddy's. I will never go back. I will not recommend this location.
