I went there with MereLikesBeer, and I had a good time. They’ve got a better than average selection, with proper glassware, which I thought was nice. The barstaff was nice as well. They have food, but I have yet to try it. If you find yourself in the area, I would check it out. Cheers!

This is a great place to hang out. They host lots of great bands upstairs, and have a very friendly staff. A very good beer selection, with lots of beer on tap. I’ve only had food here twice, and one time was pretty decent snack type foods and the second time was dinner that was ho hum. It’s still one of my favorite bars in the metro Detroit area.

Makes a very good club sandwich. Impressive tap and bottle selection. Really smoky, even on a slow night. Dive-y without being dirty. Free wifi, always a plus.

This is my favorite bar. The beer selection is excellent with multiple local and international brews available on tap. They have many imports available in bottles. I’ve never had a watered down beer there so I’ve never experienced what a previous reviewer said. The service depends on your waitress. I’ve experienced everything from terrific service to being completely ignored. The bartenders are very helpful. Food is decent...typical bar food. Not an ounce of pretention in the entire building, just people who like to drink and visit. An excellent selection in the jukebox as well. Overall an enjoyable drinking experience.

I dont get to visit this place to often but when I do its always a good time. The main level has a nice tavern feel with all the typical comforts of any good bar (tv’s games, ect...) and the upstairs is nice and dark with couches and tables and on some occasions entertainment. They have a pretty knowledgable barstaff which is always a plus. All in all a quality watering hole.

This place seems like the kind of place that looks good from the outset. Lots of quality taps, Bells, Dark Horse, Arcadia, etc... They even had Saison Dupont on draught when I was there. But then you try the beer.....Watery, old, poorly carbonated and generally just in poor condition. Which is too bad, because the place is nice enough, friendly service, decent layout, not really pretentious or anything. But most of the beers tasted like they were pouring half beer, half water. Not sure what’s wrong. Great selection though. Good prices too.

A great place with a huge selection of domestic micros, large manufacturer beers and imports. Kind of seedy looking, but the crowd is pretty hip. A good bar that has a pretty low snob factor.

One of my favorite places to go in Metro Detroit. The staff there has introduced me to many many many new and delicious beers. And a few not-so-good ones, but that, as always, is up for debate. The place does seem a tad run down, and it can get very smoky at times, but it’s still a great bar. They have a pretty respectable selection of English Ales, and the Bell’s beers don’t taste as good anywhere else as they do here, in my humble opinion.

The staff (with one exception) is knowledgable, helpful and attentive. Great place for the avg. joe to learn some of the finer points and sample beer he wouldn’t buy otherwise. Can get a bit loud and is a little run down. The food will suprise you though, as it’s much better than you would expect.
