The ability to purchase a spell with the drinks is such a fun addition. I would love to go back around my birthday so I can get the themed drink. :) Service was very good, there was a small snafu with not getting the correct change and it was fixed promptly and apologetically. One specific bartender was very kind, he gets a gold star. Pro tip - make sure you bring quarters for the gumball machines in the doorway for little balls with things like gemstones in them and for the tarot card machine. Cute idea & it was a fun activity to read our cards with the group.

While I've been disappointed by many a cheeseburger, none has broken my heart... Yet. When the new owners took over Kelly's (the oldest bar in Hamtamck according to themselves) I was for sure expecting a redesign of the bar, the atmosphere and the quality of the burger, but to my personal joy I was happy to see for the most part changed. They fixed up a few things that really needed to be fixed, but they didn't come in and revamp the the look and feel of the bar. The pricing is still good, the bartenders are still bartendery, but most importantly the burgers are still delicious. If you are a fan of smash burgers you will not be disappointed. Excellent in every way, charred exes, juicy ceter great buns. But the real highlight for me (mainly cause I am a fat boy who loves his sugar) was the deep fried uncrustables. Holy yum!!! Such a simple idea, so much flavor. In100% recommend this meal with a couple of delicious drinks.

They do have open hours for just cocktails. I wanted to keep this place my little secret! SHhhhh.....

The movie starts at 7, the movie is displayed in the bar area so make sure to grab a table or chair - kinda limited.

Also, I bought two tickets online it was $18, I found out after I got there it's cheaper to buy them at the door. The inside looks fabulous it's very clean and a new spot.

As usual, we arrived early in the morning. And were one of the first there. We kicked it off with Polish beer and some shots. One of the guys that played in the band went to my highschool and his sister and I know each other so that was a fun surprise! They had a huge tent set up where the band was playing.
