Rachel Is a Whole Vibe, Even If I'm Not Built for This Place…read more The Old Pony Martini Pub really tried to win me over. Service? Immaculate. Prices? Shockingly reasonable -- like "did they forget to add a zero" And Rachel? Oh, Rachel was out here being fun, cool, hip... basically the human equivalent of a limited‑edition sticker pack. She somehow manages to make you feel both welcomed and mildly judged for your drink choice, which honestly is a talent. But listen -- this place just wasn't for me. Not because of Rachel (she's basically the pub's emotional support bartender), not because of the martinis (which slapped), but because I walked in expecting "old pony" energy. So yeah, 5/5 stars. Would recommend. Will absolutely not be returning. This was a one‑night stand between me and a martini bar, and I'm choosing to ghost.

My terrible picture doesn't do it justice, but I LOVED the Rodeo Burger - so, so good. I also had…read morethe High Rye martini, which was great. Prices are super reasonable and the bartender was very pleasant. Four stars because there was a really strong antiseptic smell (which honestly is better than a lot of alternatives), and it was really hard to get served, despite not being super busy. I'd come back for sure, though! I might just sit outside and be prepared to wait.

I had dinner here I had to wait forever for staff, they were not busy. I was ignored and then overcharged and saw on my statement a 20% tip! it is rare I do not tip.

Management PAY attention. It is a good locals hangout . I do not wish to go out pay over $ 100.00 to be ignored , get my own silverware and condiments and chase the waiter for my bill. she was in a booth talking. thanks! JL

I wasn't sure at first as it had some interesting signage and it seemed empty, but we decided to take chance on it. We just stopped for drinks, but the bartender was super friendly and helpful.

The Victoria Tavern has been an establishment in the Walkerville area longer than any place in the…read morecurrent neighborhood. The ambiance is pub style with old tin ceilings and a large scotch selection behind the old bar. There is even a large area outside in the backyard to enjoy a cold beverage or two. The food is consistently good -- with burgers, sandwiches, salads, apps and daily specials, they even have some pretty good fish & chips. Everyone is friendly, lots of locals, and some type of entertainment or activity every night except Sundays. Friday night is Karaoke, and live entertainment starts in the early evening on Saturdays. A good casual place to grab a beer and a bite to eat while watching the game. Check it out! it's a hidden gem!

Our server tho was really nice and accommodating. Btw parking in across the street from the building** The place was very large and roomy (uncrowded). They have a bar top and outdoor type seating with heat lamps.

My fave of the dishes was the whipped ricotta with hot honey - just wish the bread that accompanied was just a bit more toasted but it still was really delicious. My daughter chose the kids fish and chips, I chose the Cobb salad and the rest of our table did shrimp or mahi mahi tacos. Everything was very tasty and I enjoyed my glass of rosé. Was nice to look out at the water while we ate. Would come back again if in the area!

We stopped in on a Thursday night in January and the kitchen was open late, which was a huge relief. Service was quick and friendly, though a little snarky.

I'd like to visit during the warmer months now!

You had me at German Biergarten. The group discussion by my colleagues was a challenge, trying to…read morefigure out what we would do for dinner. When I suggested "German with German beers on tap" the decision was made. We lucked out with our arrival on a busy night as the place is first come, first served and it is not at all very large. Three or four tables, two community tables and a dozen seats along the bar. And if you're not inside, you're queued up outside. We got the last two tables. Beer? They have all the big German beers on tap in large and larger glasses. Or if you want a tin? They have that too. They even have the good NA beers if you prefer. I started off with the Schöfferhofer Grapefruit Hefeweizen from Dortmund Germany (not very Germany purity law pure, but it's hot). On a hot day after walking too many streets of Detroit, this was a treat. With dinner, the Hefeweizen from Brauerei Pinkus Müller from Münster, Germany. Both cold and delicious and refreshing. For dinner, I chose the wurst platter, taking off the potato pancakes (I'm sorry) and substituting red cabbage. They were deliciously grilled, served hot and I enjoyed them very much. The only miss was that they didn't have their own mustard. I had to use the table mustard which was a bummer. Great service, we were never rushed though the serving staff was trying very hard to keep up with the flow. It was a fabulous meal and my great Yelp reputation with my colleagues continues.
