    This place is the Detroit icon, definitely some place that you need to stop in before you hit any of the sports events or if you need a pizza afterwards. The staff was friendly, however we went in very early in the day and it wasn't very busy and either was the staff. Which meant they all gathered back in the corner chatting. I understand that the bar wasn't full but then again it didn't look like it was opened when we came in and there was no one to welcome us it took a little bit for us to get our first drink. I believe that the place has just been overhauled and remodeled, it has definitely lost some of its character from the olden days, let's hope that it can maintain the business it needs to stay open.

    We customized a chicken bacon ranch pizza and it turned out amazing. Their service was quick and I love the location of this pizza bar- so close to night clubs and stadiums in downtown. The prices were also great and they had happy hour deals

    We had a surprise party for my cousin upstairs at this place. They have a nice party venue, everything turned out great. We had food catered but the bar tender was amazing.

    Great service great beer selection. The pizza was delicious has a little garlic butter on the crust Kitchen is open late, which is awesome!

    Local, fresh, friendly staff and walkable...perfect for a day trip in Detroit. We happened to be in Detroit for the Browns game (due to the weather the Bills/Browns played in detroit). The Brass was packed, but the staff literally busted their butts to seat everyone in a timely manner. The kitchen pumped out fresh, house made pizza, wings, salads, tacos and more. Everything was hot, reasonably priced and delicious. Definitely worth the wait.

    I know Brass Rail is highly regarded but I was greatly disappointed. I had a personal pizza made as a calzone. It seemed to me I got crust and grease, couldn't finish it, left hungry. The service was very good, we had two servers (I assume the one was being trained) and they were on top of everything but to be fair, we were one of two tables. I hope they stay successful as it is downtown and we are new to having a downtown dining scene but I won't be back.

    Based on the reviews, I wasn't expecting the pizza to be as good as it was. It's not the best pizza in Detroit, but it's definitely great pizza. I like that you can customize pizzas. The beer selection is vast and good. Service was friendly and the wait was not long. A good pizza option in downtown Detroit!

    Stopped in with a group of work buddies and we ordered several pizzas and they were super good! They had a good selection of beers too which my team liked as well, definitely a plus. I would definitely come back again for sure.

    For my pre-carbohydrate load for the Detroit International Half Marathon, I ordered from Brass Rail Pizza Bar via Yelp with Grubhub delivery. At the time, Brass Rail Pizza Bar was one of the few restaurants within a radius of my hotel that offered delivery with a reasonable fee and no minimum ordering fee. Via Yelp, it was ranked number 11 within a radius of my hotel and noted for some of its vegan options. As a vegetarian, the only item on the menu that had my interest was the Vegetarian Pizza which was what I ordered. I would have considered the Vegetarian Calzone, but there were no images shared of it that would have helped gain my interest, so I did not bother. It took forty-nine minutes from the time my order was acknowledged by Grubhub to the arrival of it at my hotel. The deliverer who delivered my food contacted me from a Chicago area code which resulted in a friendly exchanged greeting and smile once encountered in the hotel lobby. The size of the Vegetarian Pizza was surely satisfying for me. And it was only a 9" pizza. I could only imagine what the other sizes look like if that was a 9". I enjoyed it entirely; it was neatly presented, fresh, topped with an ample number of vegetables, and delicious! I assure you that all of it was eaten the next day. It was last night's dinner turned into the next day's lunch post completion of me running the Detroit International Half Marathon. All in all, I had a pleasant ordering experience with Brass Rail Pizza Bar. As aforementioned I enjoyed my meal and would surely order from again during any of my ventures back to Detroit. ~Blessings~ Thomas G

The music hits, the crowd is always lively, and it just feels like summer no matter what time of year it is. Whether you're stopping by before hitting another spot or making it your main destination for the night, The Skip always delivers. Now let's talk drinks -- because they do not play around. The Long Islands are ON POINT. Strong, smooth, and perfectly balanced. Not watered down, not overly sweet -- just right. You definitely feel like you're getting your money's worth, and they're dangerously easy to sip. I love the overall vibe here. It's social, upbeat, and perfect for hanging with friends. If you want good music, great drinks, and a guaranteed good time, The Skip should absolutely be on your list. This is one of those places you go once... and then it becomes part of your regular rotation.

We made reservations in a weekend but it wasn't necessary at 5. What I didn't know what this theme is a pop up much like Miracle Bar around Christmas. The mugs are not really made for The Skip and can be found online for less. Most importantly is the drinks are not good. They're not spirit forward, they're full of mixers. Such a bummer because they do make good cocktails occasionally. We were one and done this evening due to the bad drinks and loads of people who brought their kids to this bar. The decor is great. Service is attentive and friendly. Not in a rush to return.

Nate and I stopped in on our most recent visit to Detroit and had a lovely experience. The space is tucked away but had a surprising amount of outdoor space--we were there in January but I'd love to come back in the summer. We were greeted right away and given a spot near the bar. The menu includes cocktails, lots of wine, and several tasty food options. It was quite busy inside, so it took a bit of time for our server to come over to us, but we weren't in a rush. They had ten cocktails on their list and I tried the bullet proof soul and Nate got the negroni alla perra. The ingredients list for some of the cocktails include things I've never heard of, but at a place like this, I just know it's going to be good. Our drinks were perfectly balanced and very tasty. We also ordered the mortadella sandwich to split--this was delicious. It was pretty messy, but worth it. It was perfectly toasted and full of mortadella. Everything on the menu sounded delicious and I would love to try more of the food options. Can't wait to visit again!

There's artwork, a skatepark, renovated houses, gardens and a church that is now an art gallery. We stopped in to check it out and sat at the bar for a cocktail and snack. The waitstaff were super helpful in explaining everything and we finally picked 2 apps and got drinks. Both were amazing. There were friendly patrons all around and we chatted with other bar admirers. We checked out the coffee shop, Warda, but didn't purchase anything then, but have had several of their desserts since then and they did not disappoint. The atmosphere is wonderful, indoor/outdoor bar, great outside seating - not sure how this will work in the winter? They also have very pretty stone paths with multicolor stones mixed in for a very peaceful beautiful look. It inspired me to add some multicolored stones to my garden! I can't wait to return.

The fresh, flavorful meals and the downtown vibe make it one of my favorite spots to grab a bite or hang out with friends. That said, I want to elaborate on my not-so-great dine-in experience from before. One night I decided to eat in, and while my waitress was genuinely nice and attentive, the experience took a weird turn when my meal was brought out. The guy delivering it just walked past me, dropped the plate on the table with a loud clank, and didn't greet me or even acknowledge me at all. It was jarring -- not only did it feel careless, but it completely broke the warm, fun vibe I'd come in expecting. On top of that, I had the app downloaded to earn rewards points, but my waitress never added them, which was frustrating enough that I ended up deleting the app. That one visit definitely stood out as an exception in an otherwise positive history with this location. Since then, I've had better experiences with staff, and the food and overall energy of the place continue to shine. Despite that one odd incident, I still highly recommend HopCat for the atmosphere, creative menu, and fresh food. I'll continue coming back and will share more updates (and pics) along the way.
