Small restaurant located in the Eastern Market. The restaurant is clean and the servers are friendly. The Bloody Mary's and mussels are delicious. If you are going go the Eastern Market, try Vivio's Food and Spirits, very good. read more

To be fair, my boyfriend and I didn't try any of the food so we can't speak to that, but for a place known for their bloody Mary's we were pretty disappointed. We sat at the bar and every single person along the bar rack had a bloody, not to mention they have a dedicated menu for their bloodies with creative variations. We opted for the famous loaded (Michigan's own Gypsy Vodka, bacon, Vivio's spicy asparagus spears, jalapeño stuffed olives, pickle spear, lime & beer chaser) and the pierogi Mary (three Hamtramck's Srodek's cheddar-jalapeño pierogi with a side of sour cream, Sobieski Vodka, pickle spear, lime & beer chaser). We were impressed with the presentation but the mix was just not good - felt more like drinking a V8 as opposed to having a spicy, complex Bloody Mary mix. A shame because they sell it at a very reasonable price (5 for $10) at Devries next door and we absolutely would have gotten some if we had enjoyed it. The beer chaser was a nice touch and the pierogies were tasty, although even those aren't made in house. Atmosphere was lively and service was pleasant, but I wouldn't go back for that alone. Our search for a great bloody continues! read more

There is a nice variety of food on the menu. The food and drink prices are very reasonable. The Bloody Mary menu is nice. I went with a group of 7 on a Sunday during All Things Detroit and we seated right away. We had a good time and the atmosphere was lively. For 6 drinks and a order of mussels (if you like spice ask for the cajun seasoning) I paid $80....I hear the burger was excellent. read more

Love it here! The food is great and the service is always top notch! We sat at the bar and Margaret was our bartender. They are known for their Bloody Mary's and Mussels. Margaret suggested adding shrimp and Cajun seasoning to the mussels and I will never have them another way!! It was amazing. Their food is better than any bar food, even though it is a bar setting! Already thinking about the next time! read more

We were out for an afternoon adventure. Hit an Estate Sale in Detroit, then headed to the Eastern Market. My Girl Betsy wanted to go to this 3 floor Cheese Store that she follows online. It happened to be next to Vivio's! She loves all things pickle and Bloody Mary's. We got on the line, 5 minutes later we were sharing a picnic table with 2 retired teachers. I couldn't give 5 stars, because these were some lightweight shifty tables. Otherwise, amazing experience. So good, we actually went back after the cheese store for another cocktail read more

An Eastern Market institution. Depending on what time you arrive, there may be a good length wait. My friend was able to get us seats at the upstairs bar. One side of the menu is a selection of Bloody Mary's, varied from the classic, to Detroit originals, to a monster that constitutes your entire meal. We had loaded, and this was a solid BM. They also are known for mussels, and have several varieties as well. I had the mussels, but also a slice of my friend's pizza, which was excellent. I think your experience may depend on when you arrive, and they do not offer reservations. read more

Dive bar/ restaurant. I had pizza and salad. Neither were good. Service is mediocre. There is an upstairs. I think mostly used for private events. There is a large parking lot (2-hour limit) and street parking. Both free. Two stars for an abundant amount of free parking. read more

Came here for my birthday and I have lived in Detroit forever but it was my first time and it did not disappoint. I love a lived in bar with so much stuff on the walls. The waitress was so friendly and they were quick with the service. I got the Two Gun Louie and my boyfriend got the Pierogi Mary and we also got an order of the parm mussels. Absolutely delicious the Bloody Marys are so unique but not too tomato-y which I appreciate there was so much flavor and the MUSSELS!!! The parm sauce was so delicious it was incredible read more

Showed up on a busy Thursday evening with my wife and a friend, understanding there would be quite a wait. After about 20 minutes, we were offered a table in the middle of the restaurant. After waiting another 20 minutes and seeing several tables seated after us place orders, we had yet to be given menus. I finally managed to get a server's attention; she profusely apologized, brought some menus, and asked us for our drink order and brought some water. Another 15 minutes passed, no sign of our server. We got up and left. read more

Great place to get some good Italian food. Brie was our wonderful server. Very personable and helpful with choosing something from the large menu. All of the stuff were very friendly read more

I make sure that when I'm in Eastern market that I always step into views and at least have one drink I like to keep the old places rolling. I bring my friends tell them my stories, however they were not impressed. Busy, as usual. But that wasn't the problem we found a seat upstairs which someone ran up and said there were so we didn't have to walk the stairs unless we had to. We wanted a couple drinks and some food and it took forever. I remember coming here on game days and it was never a problem even if you had a crowd of like 15 people at your table. The bloody Mary was mediocre, and that's what I go there for, and the food just missed the mark. I don't know if they were just short staffed? I'm hoping this. If that isn't the case I hope someone reads this and takes to Heart, we love Vivios and we want to see it thrive. read more

FANTASTIC! Bloody Marys delicious. Muffuletta sandwich to die for. AND our bartender Margaret was the sprinkle on top! If you are looking for an "old school" place with charm, you found it! read more

Vivio's is an old school restaurant in the Eastern Market. I've heard they have great Bloody Mary's but unfortunately I don't drink those so I'll take everyone else's word for it! My husband and I shared some muscles and a big, delicious caesar salad last time we ate there. The muscles were delicious, although there were more empty shells than I'd prefer. The bread that came with them was delicious and good to soak in the sauce. The salad was nice and big for us to split! I tried a blue cocktail that was delicious, but unfortunately I don't remember the name of. Our server was attentive and quick! We went on a weekday night close to closing time and after a big rain so there weren't many people in the restaurant. Whether this is the reason for a good service or not, I'll take it! read more

Reminds me of the bar in "Cheers." There was a bar where I grew up as a kid in Kansas City that this bar really reminds me of, just down to earth, good, hardworking waitstaff and service, and the food here is really inventive. Has an Italian flair but they have something for everybody. Their Bloody Mary is the epitome of what a Bloody Mary should be. Nothing compares to them ... nothing. There should be more bars and restaurants like Vivio's. It's the kind of place you walk into and everybody there knows your name. read more

I had Vivios cater my wedding, and I cannot compliment them enough! It was wonderful working with them, and the owner helped me decide on the menu I wanted. They dropped the food off, and set it up with everything I needed to be able to serve and eat with for 100 people. Now onto the food, it was absolutely delicious! I had so many people compliment the food, and it really helped elevate our experience and help people forget we were having a backyard wedding. I genuinely will dream of the chicken Florentine! If you need catering and are considering Vivios, use them! You won't regret it! read more

Best Bloody Mary around! My favorite way to start the day. Ask for Toni. She's top notch!

This is an old Detroit standard. DON'T have the Caesar Salad. The chicken was an odd texture and flavourless. I also got a touch of food poisoning which I am blaming on the odd textured chicken. Nothing smelled bad but was rather tasteless. read more

It was not my favorite place. The menu seemed all over the place with burgers, Italian and seafood. The drink menu was also limited minus some margs and bloody marys. I wanted to order pizza but they mentioned their pizza oven was also down. The burger that I got was sub par. The interior of the restaurant was cool though. It was dim lit and more dive bar vibe. Service was fast though! I didn't love it but I didn't try the bloody mary's. That is the signature drink of the restaurant. Maybe the Bloody Mary would have changed my mind? read more

A group of 5 of us went to Vivio's late on a Saturday afternoon. It was pretty busy when we first walked in. My sister & I got iced tea & the chicken sandwich, two others got burgers, and one more had pizza. Our beverages came right away, but it took a while for the food to come. It didn't really matter, though, as we were tired, and I enjoyed looking at all the things in the room. The iced tea didn't really taste like anything to me, but I was really thirsty, so it didn't matter. It was cold and refreshing, which was all I wanted. The chicken sandwich was pretty good as well, and I liked the fries that came with it. I would go back if I was in the area again. read more

Always a solid place to grab a drink or some bar food. Check their specials. Fair price good quality. Just a fun bar. Also; it's a Steelers bar. Nice touch! read more

Great service, great food, great atmosphere. We went here after visiting the Eastern Market and it was conveniently right across the street. The first thing I noticed was how kind and accommodating the host was as we had a larger party of 10 (turned out to be 12) people. After getting seated we had the most amazing waitress - it was obvious that she had quite a few tables but she didn't let that change her mood towards us. She was quick at getting our drinks, food and receipts. I ordered the Caesar salad with grilled chicken and it was delicious- quite a few people wanted my food lol. The burger also looked really good as did the mussels. I look forward to coming back soon. Can't believe I forgot to take a pic of my food whoops. read more

Vivio's Food & Spirits - people standing outside of a restaurant - American Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

We used to love this place, but in the last couple of years, it has dramatically changed and not for the better. Plastic silverware, like a picnic or carryout. Pricey food items. Restaurant was ice cold and even colder in the restroom. We gad the Oklahoma sliders, good flavor. The antipasto salad was lacking, no olives, had to ask fir dressing and the meat and cheese were rolled up in the side. With only plasticware, it was very hard to cut and eat. Not sure we will be back. read more

This place seems wildly popular, at least it was last weekend. I have seen this restaurant for years, but never ventured inside (not for any particular reason other than we normally do not eat lunch or dinner here). But I heard that you could carry open container at the market. I am not sure if this is a new rule or if I just learned it but people were carrying around cocktails from this place. When I arrived there was a very long line out the door and plenty of outdoor seating. I asked the man at the door if they did carry out drinks. He was very friendly and ushered me in the restaurant and over to the bar. All of the people who worked here were friendly and accommodating. The bar area was slammed and the poor bar tender was working harder than any human I have ever seen. Apparently they are known for their Bloody Mary's here, which I also had not known. I guess they are considered one of the best is the city? The state? They have all sorts of varieties, loaded with goodies. When I entered, I did not know what I was going to order, but I decided to try their classic which is only $8! A pretty good price for any cocktail. It was really delicious! I like Bloody's but I do not like them with too much pepper or too much horse radish. This was perfect and came with a pickle. It was easy to walk around the enjoy. When inside, I did see most people enjoying that drink with different levels of toppings. I saw they did have a nice looking food menu. I would be interested in trying some at some point. I see their muscles, burgers, muffalata, and pizzas are pretty popular, and I love all of those things! Since it was so crowded on this today, I would probably consider eating here with the family when it was a bit less crowded, but the vibe was fun and all the customers seem particularly festive and happy. Must have been the good drinks. read more

OMG how I love this place- and every time I go, I wonder why I'm not going more often! And now they have a new chef, (Dave? Said the waitress), who made this salmon sliders special that were just so so good! (We brought 2 home for my husband to try because we ordered so much food and he loved them too!) This is the place to bring any idiot of Detroit- and maybe that's you, lol!- to experience true bloody Mary's and mussels- no one does either better. This time it was the Big D Bloody Mary, (I'm usually not so indulgent but it's my bday!), so just check out the pics- and the Jamaican/jerk mussels (coconut rum involved!) and one of the burgers- those are all good too. And ring the bell on your way out because I already know the service was good! read more

Stopped by on a Friday afternoon and had a $2 margarita slushy. Which was good and I was able to catch a slight buzz for $2 that's awesome. Lol. Margaret was my waitress and she was super friendly. She recommended the garlic Parmesan mussels with some Cajun added to it. They were very flavorful. You get a pot full for $13. The only thing I disliked about my visit is that everyone seemed to be coughing in there. One guy at the end of the bar kept coughing without covering his mouth. A waitress and another guy who worked there who was just standing by the door. Could've been a bad day but whatever it was it made me hurry up and finish my food and leave! However, if you are ever in the eastern market area it's cool for drinks. They have mainly pub style food. A lot of vintage things on the wall. They could use some dusting on the walls or perhaps a deep cleaning. Probably why everyone was coughing. read more

Service was excellent, drinks were quick and food was good. Great bar right by Eastern Market!

This restaurant is old and dirty. Very disappointed with the place. The menu is horrible and I'm glad it was because that could have lured me in beyond my better judgement. They pack people in and definitely it must be a safety hazard. The wait staff was not very helpful and I only had a Bloody Mary because I was with a group. The mix is similar to Zing Zang which is good. But, to say they have the top rated Bloody Mary when it is as easy to duplicate as going to the grocery store and buying a ready made mix is ludicrous. read more

This place is a well-oiled machine! A family favorite for us. We always stop whenever we go to eastern market. They have SO many options for bloody Mary's. We love the crab cake one and the Pierogi bloody. But you can never go wrong with a classic! read more
