Hamlin Pub has a great, welcoming vibe and the staff is friendly, outgoing and professional. It is the kind of place that you would look forward to whiling away a few hours in the admirable pursuit of respite. Hamlin Pub is a small, regional chain and while this is the only location that I had ever been to, I was impressed with it and enjoyed my visit and embraced that pursuit of respite. Their food is what you would expect from a bar or tavern, but let us not underestimate the merits of bar food (or, if you prefer, "pub grub"). Some of my best memories were with friends enjoying some great bar food and great conversation. The pizza here was good and you can't go wrong with one of their burgers or sandwiches. Hamlin Pub was definitely a great place to kill a bit of time (again, that pursuit of respite) and enjoy a cold drink and something to eat. I would definitely recommend here and I will give it five stars. read more

Ordered a hot honey pizza. All I had was half pepperoni the other half green pepper AND no honey!! it cost $25! A complete rip off for a lousy pizza. Our waitress had a bad attitude. read more

We have been going to Hamlin Pub for years. The food use to be great but in the past few years it hasn't made the cut for us. The service is always great. read more

We had such a nice dinner Saturday night. Our server was Amanda and she was so much fun!! An excellent server. Our food was hot and delicious and the beer was ice cold... like I like. We eat here often and always have good food, servers and ambiance. Thanks for a fun night Amanda!! read more

We have stopped here many times over the years to eat, before going to a concert. Food has always been good except for this time. We ordered sliders. Sorry but they were disgusting. They were each in small plastic bags (never had them elsewhere like that) and tasted like they just came out of the microwave. That made the buns taste doughy. And we hardly got any fries with it. Needless to say, we were very disappointed. read more

Great atmosphere, okay drinks but their gluten free menu is awful. Not a lot of choices. Would much rather go somewhere else where they have a larger selection. The staff is very friendly. read more

There are a lot of mixed reviews about this place and honestly, I wouldn't have chosen it based on the reviews (a friend picked it). When we entered we were greeted by a hostess (even though the sign said seat yourself). We told her we needed to sit close (we had an elderly person in our group). As she started to seat us, we questioned her choice right next to another table. She said they didn't have any social distancing regulations - odd as current regulations are 50% max capacity WITH 6 feet between tables. Our table was definitely not 6 feet from the other. We were not concerned, but thought it was so odd that she'd say that. Our waitress was on point the whole time. I really liked her. She was quick, attentive, and helpful. She gave me suggestions on favorite dishes and I chose the chicken tacos with grilled chicken. And they didn't disappoint! So full of a wide variety of flavors and the chicken was tender. I also tried some of my friend's homemade chips and I really enjoyed them. There were 4 in our party and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. The atmosphere was pretty cool and I enjoyed the food so I would be willing to go back if in the area. I was disappointed that some of the staff wasn't wearing their masks correctly and they weren't social distancing. read more

Good/Bad- It's great they have live music several nights a week but when a popular sporting event is going on at the same time then you are stuck listening to music as you watch the game! Ordered a pizza and asked for extra sauce and they charged me for it! (never has that happened to me at any other pizza place in my life) $6.00 for a miller lite is a bit steep. Service was average, seemed some were working their ass off and others not as much. Will go back but only when no live music is being played. read more

great food chicken wings were great. service was very nice, I asked to change the tv channel (they did) They were quick and it felt great. read more

Close to home and has small town feel to it. The food is decent and the bartenders are great.

First off, nice place, drinks & food. Our issue (party of 4) was that it was freezing with the A/C on high. We were going to stay & have some drinks after dinner with the one-man band about to start, but it was so cold, everybody wanted to leave. As i looked around, most everybody ran back to their cars to gram a sweatshirt/jacket. Our waitress said "that's just the way it is here" wtf !! Our young waitress couldn't be found for another drink order or ice tea refill....had to chase her down chatting with co-workers. Another establishment where the manager is out of touch with reality!! Idiots ...... !!!! read more

Great place for happy hour deals, and can I just say that amazing Jameson Irish Tea shot sampler was the best yet? We stopped in and shared $8 happy hour apps - on a FRIDAY - and we all shared. I especially also loved the asian boneless wings. I could eat those all day! read more

Food and service is good but it is way too COLD in there to be anywhere near comfortable. We dress with always a jacket. read more

A nice local pub that reminds me of Cheers. They have a very long draft list with rotating beers. Also a full bar with several liquor choices. When it comes to food my go to is the pot roast. It's delicious and served with mashed potatoes, carrots and onions. I also like the sliders with fries. The pretzel sticks and spinach & artichoke dip are both great options for an appetizer. The wait staff are very friendly and the manager always comes around to say hello. They have several low tables for accessibility and an accessible bathroom. read more

Honestly, I don't know where to begin. It actually pains me to write this review. I have been going to Hamlin for years. You could actually consider me a "regular" there. I have been a member of their Hug Club and still have a bottle on the shelf. My golf league goes to Hamlin every Wednesday evening. The service is just awful! The mgr Jake is awful! read more

I had a very good time here with my family. It is definitely a bar/ pub type atmosphere so go there with those expectations. Between me and my family, we tried boneless wings, nachos, a large southwestern style salad, mozzerrella sticks, and their spinach and artichoke dip. We loved the boneless chicken. Out of all the sauces we tried, the 2 alarm is AMAZING. It's got a kick tho so beware. The nachos are HUGE and can definitely be split by 2 people minimum. Especially if you have other appetizers/food. Everything else was good but didn't necessarily blow us away. I also had a Moscow mule that tasted fantastic. The appetizers were quick to arrive, however the food took around 30 min (after the apps) which felt like quite awhile. But in the end we all enjoyed what we ate, and also our server was very nice. And she was quick to get drinks and clear the table. I would definitely come back here if I'm looking for a nice bite to eat, with a good atmosphere. They also have live music on certain days read more

Excellent food and service every time we eat & drink there! Ambiance is casual and upbeat. It's our go to date night location for over 5 years now. Had the Lake Perch today!!! Highly recommended! read more

Service is not good. The girl who works Sunday nights at the bar is incredibly rude. Just not quite sure why anyone would go here, honestly. And the food is some of the worst in Clarkston. read more

So happy to have this gem in Davison. Great food and service every time. We love the Salmon bowl and the sandwiches!!

Don't come here if you want to be comfortable. It's always cold. You have to wear a coat. The management is so stupid that they either don't care or won't fix this. It's been this way for 10 years. The food is good. The drinks are good. But it's freezing any time of the year. Their solution is to wear a coat. read more

Have been many a times, many great meals. Always enjoy the Tuesday special which is a hamburger, fries and choice of pop or a beer for $7.95. read more

I like this place. Decent food and good happy hour. Please stop your staff from rolling silverware and sitting at the high top right in front of the entertainment at the best table in the house. It should be open for customers to sit and definitely not for all of us to view this. Thank you read more

Yummy food and ambiance is very nice. chicken sandwich is 8/10 and the fries are super yummy 9/10.

First thing me eating at this place even though it's nearby. I ordered Ricardo's chili. Spanish inspired recipe chili with theAngus beef sliders. Pretty good food. Clean and great service. Kinda dark and loud but hay it's a pub so that's to be expected. Fairly busy food area. They could use a few more healthy choices. They did have salads and a turkey burger but I didn't see a vegan options. read more

Spent $70 tonight. everything was good but the southwest salad. THE WORST!!! You can taste the awful flavor of bagged salad! I never buy bad salad for this reason! obviously , they don't since it...I wanted to PUKE! I wanted to complain! But my husband said no just let it be. I ate the chicken, beans, and corn off of the top... at $15/$16 what a waste... when everything else we ordered was good. Do not order a salad from here unless you like preservatives all over your fresh lettuce.! ugh! so f*****g GROSS! read more

A+ service! Other local restaurants should take note!!! Food is decent bar food...wait staff is fast & friendly!!! read more

The food is great! The ambiance is fun! Staff is absolutely wonderful!!! This place is a gem!!! Was a very busy night and the staff who had been on their feet all night after a long shift and were wrapping up didn't mind giving up their table for our group !!! Did not hesitate to feel comfortable to talk to the rockin' staff!!! See you soon for 1/2 off pizza Thursdays!!! read more

I just found this place and the food is amazing, with a great selection of beer. #1 burgers! The place fills up fast with local residents, which is a testament of a perfect place to enjoy a meal with family & friends. To top it off, the staff is helpful and are always pleasant. read more

Hamlin has great food but 8 out of 10 time you order carry out order it will be wrong.

Always good food, different specials and good service. Easy to get a table without a wait.

I was assigned a delivery from here via Grubhub. When I arrived and told the hostess I was there to pick up a delivery order, she told me to wait a minute. I waited, and waited. The male (manager on duty?) then approached and told me they were not taking delivery orders at the time and admonished me. He wanted me to let Grubhub know to stop sending deliverers for orders because it was inconveniencing customers. Which I agree customers shouldn't be inconvenienced, but I also show up as a representative of customers and am inconvenienced and admonished myself. I have delivered hundreds of orders for Grubhub and DoorDash. This is probably the worst treatment I have had at a restaurant as a driver. read more

We come here often & always have great service & usually great food. However, tonight I ordered the California Wrap & there was literally 2 thinly sliced pieces of turkey in it. It won't stop me from coming back, but this is ridiculous. My husband's burger was great by the way & our chicken dumpling stew was amazing as always. read more

The food is very fresh, great salads, wraps, and a fair price in a fun atmosphere with great service!

Went here this past Tue after my Grandson graduated. There was about 12 to 14 of us, we ordered some appetizers and 3 pizzas. The food all took FOREVER!! After waiting well over a hour for the pizzas, every single one of them was ICE COLD!! No one wanted to send them back because of how long they took and the kids had school the next day and adults work. They always tell us they have Coors Light on draft by rotating it with another draft but every single time we have gone in its never on draft. 5 of us that were there that night drink Coors Light on draft and was very disappointed to find out again it was not on draft. Take Bud Light off!! By the way, your after 9 menu is for the birds!! Nothing great on it. We used to drive 45-50 minutes just to come to this Hamlin Pub, don't think any of us will be any more, :( read more

Not worth the wait of getting a table on Half Off Pizza night. We waited about 25-30 minutes for a table and then another hour waiting for one pizza. The pizza is only good because you are starving by the time your order is up. No disrespect, but the place is too small for what they can handle. Expand or do away with specials you can't deliver on. read more

Frequent after 6 with close friend sometimes. Last Adventure somehow our order got lost and after 40 minutes the waiter came and shared the problem (he had realized). Shortly the manager which is most Always bringing out food or helping somehow, came Over and apologized. He said he was taking care of us. And that he did. No bill, no bill For additional carry out .. That's amazing these days. read more

Love this place! I go about 3 times a year and look forward to every visit. I've honestly only had two things on the menu, the nachos and the chicken stew. The chicken stew is my favorite comfort food of all time. I get a quart to take home on every visit! The bartenders are super nice. I was beyond shocked today when not only did he recognize me, but remembered my drink after one visit, 3 mos ago! The atmosphere is great for everyone. There are plenty of TV's for sports, a great selection at the bar and they also have Keno. read more

This is the second day of the Governors new order requiring masks in most places. Visited this restaurant today. The Manger had NO MASK. Waitresses pulled them down when they walked away from your table and pulled them back up when they returned, but sometimes they forgot. I also only saw one other table with people that entered the restaurant with a mask. We have along way to go. Food and service was excellent. read more

I usually always love Hamlin Pub, but this weekend my love for Hamlin died. The Hubby and I had date night, after our earlier outing we decided we would take Uber to Hamlin and hangout, have some drinks and maybe split an appetizer. Uber dropped us off and Hamlin was packed. The hostess said we could wait for seats to open at the bar or she could seat the two of us immediately. I was kind of shocked we would be seated right away because the place was packed for dinner, and it looked like a band was setting up to play. She sat us literally at a two top table right directly in FRONT of the stage & band. I said 'When will the band start?' (Only because I know it'll be loud, everyone will want to see the band I'm sure without me sitting dead center in front of them, and I won't be able to talk to my Husband, I'll have to yell). The hostess said not until after 9pm. That would be great except they started at 8pm... Our server was nice & I did feel bad for being rude/pushy to have her move us to a different spot. Two seats opened at the bar and she moved us there after we cashed out. My whole point is not one person communicated with us that the only two seats left in the place were right in front of the band & the band is going to start playing in X amount of time... I don't mind that we had to sit there, but at least let us know that the band begins playing roughly at 8pm and if were okay with sitting there then great.. If not, I'm sure we would have waited by the bar for seats to open, or waited for a different table. read more

This is the second time I have ordered carry out from here. Both times I was told my order would be ready in 20 to 25 minutes and both times I showed up (20-25 minutes after I ordered) and I was told they forgot to put in my order. When I showed up to pick up my most recent order the person working the bar was not wearing a mask not a huge fan of how this place is operating right now. read more
