This is one of the best experiences I've had at an Irish pub. Not only is the food great and the soup exceptional, but the people that work here truly care. Faith, Angie, Julie, Bridget, and of course Mikayla are fantastic. Highly recommend this pub I could give it a ten I would!! And to top it off, live music is always a blast on Thursdays! read more

Was in on closing night July 7th as usual Faith and Hillory kept my glass full with a smile on their faces. I hope they will be part of the plan going forward when the bar reopens. This is my home town go to bar and I love the service they give!!! read more

My experience at Duffy's was kinda not great. My wateriest only came and check on me once and I asked for my bill sat back down with her friend and played on her phone. Plus I came to Bar during the day and the music was very loud I came to bar just to relax but I couldn't in this loud environment TURN DOWN THE MUSIC. As a young college student I probably won't come back here and not recommend this place. 1 Star read more

Well it's 7 years later and Duffys still has karaoke, but it was on a weekday, so that's an improvement. Sometimes I get annoyed when my bf suggests grabbing a bite here, because the menu is limited and it is just bar food....but...dang they do make a GOOD BURGER!!! So if you're looking to get filled up, whether it be from beer, burgers, or tater-tots...you'll have no problem achieving this at Duffys... The wait staff and bar tenders are always great as well! read more

Smelled like stale beer but we were only stopping for a couple quick drinks. Service was fast enough for a busy night.

Best chicken tenders in the area! Only complaint is the music is some times a little too loud but the service is great and prices are reasonable. read more

Faith Angie and Hillary are the best! Amazing service. Happy pours and always engaged with the customers!

Edited***** RACIST!!!!! "I'm currently receiving the worst service I've ever had at any establishment in my life." Having read other reviews referencing racial discrimination I can confirm and validate those testimonies. The older hunchback waitress was by a significant margin the most rude, disrespectful, unhelpful server to disgrace the restaurant industry. I " a black man" walked into this establishment and was ignored from the start.. no direction as to where to sit, not welcomed In or anything! I waited twenty minutes while the hunchback served everyone else of fair skin, she sat behind the bar joking with patrons and clearly has no intentions of serving me. I asked for a menu and never received one. When my single drink arrived 20 minutes after I ordered she slammed it on the table and immediately turned away not even asking if I wanted food. She was so charming with the older good ol boys but absolutely cold, distant and disrespectful with me.. a first and last time customer. Upon leaving a well deserved donut for a tip I wrote on the receipt "would've been nice to get a menu". She didn't give a S*** if I ate or not. I googled food near me during the whole experience and ended up having a phenomenal dinner at Stoney River Steakhouse (a real establishment) This woman needs to be fired and the owner should be ashamed. Slandering this place to my large network of local associates for life! read more

Local hangout, service sucks because they can't keep employees because the treat them like garbage and the food sucks too. I wouldn't of even given them 1 star if I could have. Employees and good service are hard to come by and they just don't appreciate what they have. read more

I really love their Friday night fish fry. They have great fish dinners. Fish is always very fresh and flavorful. It's a local pub and it's kind of dicey.... a perfect chill place. Accessibility: they only have one low table, accessible bathrooms, HC parking spot in the rear of the building. Only issue is if the one low table is taken. read more

I stumbled in (not drunkenly) I found the tenders and fries to bring tears to my eyes (joy) it was my birthday and man did they not disappoint. read more

I just had the most amazing experience I've ever had going out to eat at a bar. Our waitress Mikayla was the sweetest most attentive waitress I've ever had. I come here all the time and honestly she made my night. She's funny, was super ready to help when we needed anything. I hope I get her again read more

My buddies and i went in last night i had a curly hair server. She was an amazing server. Very attentive and on top of things even though she was running around and very busy. She took care of our table very well and we will definitely be coming back. The overall atmosphere was amazing and we will definitely be asking to have her as a server again when we return. read more

Do not order take out, they give you the oldest food they can find. Chicken tenders and fries taste like I was eating fish bones. It was terrible then I let them know and they claimed "to understand" but did nothing. Very rude establishment should of listened to the reviews. read more

We had a baseball tournament right near Duffy's with only about an hour between games. We came in with the team and had such amazing service and FAST service with food for our boys. Sarah called in to the other server Lisa to come in and help. Lisa showed up right away and was so personable! Food was great, service was above and beyond . Thanks Duffy's for a great lunch and drinks! You guys rock! read more

This place has definitely been such a great place to eat, drink, and have a good time! Jourdan does a great job bartending and the food is always good! Wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

Their $1 half-pound burger & chips (Wed) special got me in the door. At 11:40AM, it had gotten a lot of others thru those same doors - it was a full house. I took 1:2 open stools at the bar. Hard surfaces = noisy. Jennifer was working the bar solo. Based on other reviews, my expectations re: service were set to "low." When I arrived, she was indeed handling a Keno ticket matter. But once she finished with that matter and delivered a beer to another diner, she arrived with the menu. She did a very good job. Always hustling. Very few wasted steps or motions. The "catch" ? Burger toppings are 75 cents each - it's easy to run-up the tab. I opt'd for only cheddar. And; you gotta buy a beverage. Ketchup, mustard, A-1 and hot-sauce are no-charge items. On the value scale, it is a winner. If graded on the fundamentals of ingredients and preparation, it is average. I ordered medium and was served what I consider well done - no pink whatsoever. Also, no sear. Also; uncertain if the cheese was cheddar - if it was, it was certainly a very mild cheddar. Searing the burger and toasting the bun would add zero to the costs and deliver a better burger. Will I return? Probably, but just for a change of scenery. I'm unlikely to have a craving for the food or Duffy's experience. WiFi? Yes, but it has at least two serious security problems. Unwise to use it for anything requiring a login/password. Auburn Hills supposedly has free municipal WiFi. It was not working. TV's? Yes. Several big screens, all tuned to various sporting events. (Yawn) Parking ... ugh. Don't park in the lot adjacent to the east side of the bldg. Don't park in the driveway/lot directly behind the building. Go one street to the south and enter that larger, free/public parking lot. It is a very short walk to Duffy's. read more

Duffy's Pub - $1 burger special with 50 cent slice of cheese. - Pubs Near Me - Auburn Hills, Michigan

Stopped by this location at 730pm on a Friday night. We were seated right away at one of the only tables left. It was a very tight squeeze for just 2 of us...we waited 5 mins and decided to leave as we were never greeted or served. read more

faith was a great help my phone was dead and she help and had a charger she is great bartender

Service was horrible. The bartender Would not service the waitresses for the customers until they rounded up empty glasses. So, we had to wait a long time to get our drinks. This is unacceptable!! Irene, you need to get rid of this bartender or have 2 on staff to handle the crowd. Your bar was not even full. It's bad enough through Covid. Can't afford to lose customers!! read more

Visited Duffy's Pub on a Friday and saw the special on the board. Fish and Fries for $6.95 w/ a beverage purchase. Since I had already had a tall whiskey, we ordered the special. Was expecting average fish and ships which is par for the course in Michigan but instead was pleasantly surprised by the best fish and ships in the area. I'll come back soon to confirm if they are consistent, and it will definitely be on a Friday. read more

When we came in we were welcomed by a random guy waving at the bar telling us to seat ourselves. I hope it's not an employee drinking but seems like it or he's on break, I dunno but he's for sure slightly drunk. Waitress super nice. Music so loud I can't talk, aka way too damn loud. The music is literally giving me a headache. You have to scream to talk. I hate that. Husband says that's just how pubs are and I'm being picky. Food was good. I just personally didn't like the atmosphere but drunk people also scared me so I'm super bias. read more

Lets see where can I start. We've been going here for 20 years for our Christmas luncheon. Lately the service is really slow. Today it took more than 30 minutes to get my 1st beer. It was pretty flat too. My friend ordered a different "tap" beer. It was served without a head. We travel from Holly to the North to Jackson in the South. We all grew up on the Eastside. I think we're a bunch of old farts & we need to find someplace new. It was another 30 minutes before we got to reorder. Being smarter we ordered our burgers. They were ok...you got to work at screwing up a bar burger. A new place for sure next year. read more

This place has great food, great service. But this 2 piece band has here tonight is ruining dinner. They are extremely extremely, one more time, extremely loud. I go to dinner, even in a bar, with my wife, and guess what, I want to talk to her. Not going to happen here. If it weren't for the extremely extremely music, I'd give this place a 5. read more

A female employee name Lisa was a great waitress server gave an awesome customer experience. I truly enjoyed my time here at Duffy's Pub.

Duffy's is what it is. A pub in the "Downtown" area of Auburn HIlls - don't blink you might miss it. Its a place for a quick lunch, burgers and sandwiches, or its a place to get a beer after work. I go there for lunch with my customer. Its close, they have a two page menu, they are fast and efficient and you are no breaking the bank - in and out in under 45 minutes, every time. The food is bar food, with no frills, but they do it well - not fancy but it doesn;t need to be. Wait staff is always friendly and helpful - you really can't ask for more in this type of place. The only issue is parking in on the street or behind the building. The lot directly to the East is another firms lot. read more

I've been here two times, first time which was a total c*** me, as I tips her over 25%, and then the next time I tried to perform my musical talents there, and she treated me less than a piece of garbage after I treated her with over 30% of a tip what a piece of trash read more

Came here for a friends birthday party and it was a great time! The downtown area is simple and clean, easy to find parking and not a ton of people walking around like Royal Oak and Ferndale, very low key. The live band was amazing, they played old school and soft rock songs. The dance floor is small and I was taken back a little bit because the dance floor is right at the entrance door area, but that could be a great thing because I only had to take one step in to find the birthday girl on the dance floor lol. Our waitress was more than attentive A++ service, didn't ask for a card on file which I liked because I hate leaving one though I know it's the standard. We were a party of 10 and had a blast, I'll def. be back! The live band stole the show :) read more

We stopped in for a quick drink so that we could check it out. It for sure is a local bar. we enjoyed chatting with the folks there and having a good drink. Fun place. read more

Man I love this place. Our hometown dive bar that's better than the average. Great live music. Keno/Darts/Pool. Strong drinks. Personable staff, especially the bartender Jordan who knows us by name and always serves us with a smile. We eat here on the rare occasion but the food definitely satisfies any cravings for bar food!!! What else can you ask for in a bar that's close to home and open late!!!! read more

First time visit. Arrived around 6:45 and the place was 3/4 full. Only downside was that they only had one server? The food was good and didn't take long for the kitchen to prepare. Wine was a great pour. Beer was cold. Overall we were happy and will return. read more

Loved it here - We're new in town and we'll definitely be regulars here. My wife and I don't drink and were a bit skeptical and intimidated trying a bar out as quick meal joint. Everyone was great and there seemed to be a good mix of ages and demographics. Our waiter was outstanding - awesome customer service. I don't think my Pepsi ever get below the half way mark. Our meal came out to about 15 bucks for the both of us and the food was really good. Try the onion rings. My burger bun was touted a bit too much - slightly burnt, but I'm a sucker for good customer service and will vouch this place. If you're in Auburn Hills and a need a quick, good bite to eat, check 'em out. read more

A good hole in the wall to grab a quick beer and hang out at. There's live music on the weekends! Service is decent, ask for Kandi

Food is just OK, good lunch specials. The staff is horrible! If service and friendly people are important to you this is not your place. I have been here a couple times and will not be back. I have no idea how this bartender keeps her job. Looks away from you while you order, does not ask if you need anything or if you need another drink etc...... Do not recommend. read more

A late lunch after homearama tour. 1st time here. Shared a patty melt and some quesadillas. Both were good. Seems like a lot of regulars at the bar. Had an entertainment coupon, so whole lunch came to $13. Not too shabby read more

A decent enough place to hang out for a few beers. The food's been good both times I've been here, so I'd say give it a shot. They must've killed the female bartender that everyone on here was complaining about, because the one we ran into was helpful, friendly and attentive the whole time. Not on my "must return to weekly" list, but it's on the list of places I'll pop in from time to time. read more

this bar is right down the street from my house and it just opened a couple of months ago so we decided to give it a try because we received a 'buy one get one free' coupon in the mail. it used to be a Quizno's and another store that were combined to make a bar. the bar wasn't very crowded, there were some regulars at the bar, including a guy who people referred to as 'Elvis', he even had the sideburns and glasses going on. haha! they have daily $1 specials; coneys, tacos, burgers and chili. they also have 'power hour' every night from 9-10pm, $1 drafts, $2 well drinks. the first thing i noticed is that the beer was good and 'clean' tasting. sometimes when i order a draft it tastes funny. and after 9pm they were $1! i ordered the reuben and my husband ordered fish and chips. the reuben was very big and the corned beef was hot and tasty. the only thing was that there wasn't really very much sauerkraut on the sandwich. i could not eat the whole sandwich. i had a bite of my husbands fish and chips and it was pretty darn good. the fries were crispy and the fish tasted good and i'm pretty sure their tartar sauce was homemade. his meal also came with coleslaw which he really liked, i thought it was just ok, not very flavorful. the bathroom was clean, but it was only 1 stall, it did used to be a Quizno's afterall. i could see this being a bad thing especially on St. Patty's day! i didn't venture to the other 'half' of the bar, but it looked like there was a dartboard and probably another restroom since i saw people going that way. a DJ set up and was playing music around 9PM. the bar started getting busier after 9pm, i think the 'power hour' thing is a good idea to get people to try out a new place. overall the bar was decent, they still have a few kinks to work out but we will definitely be back. read more

First time here. Tuesday night after the tigers game. We ordered a burger and a BLT. Both were excellent, the fries are great. The bartender is friendly and gives excellent service. Prices are great, also I can't help But notice how clean the place is. We will be back! read more

Duffy's gets 5 stars - as rated among its peers of other local irish pubs. The place is clean, staff seems friendly, and the food was good. Had the turkey reuben and it was good all around...ingredients, taste, temperature, you name it. I'd order it again, but not before I try some of the other menu items like the fish & chips. Looks like they have regular food specials and a daily happy hour or power hour. Also have a lunch club, where you get your 7th lunch free or something like that. Worth checking out for those that work nearby. I'd like to see this place thrive and bring up the energy level of this little Auburn Hills downtown area. Several nice little establishments and hopefully more on the way! read more
