    Broccoli with peanut sauce (mild, medium, or hot). Delicious!!
    Dia D.

    Went here on a non-Tigers Saturday night hoping to get the poke (bowls of rice with a combination of fish and veggies). It wasn't very busy so they weren't selling poke that night since the fish is so perishable. Their menu is a Hawaiian/Asian menu with plate lunches that include a salad, macaroni salad, rice, and main dish (garlic shrimp, broccoli in peanut sauce, shoyu chicken thighs, teriyaki steak, loco moco which a hamburger with fried egg on top). It is a huge amount of food for the money and it was really delicious. The salad dressing that I had was creamy tofu and it had a nice kick to it. They also have things like seaweed salad, edamame, and some holo dogs (sausage on a bun). Jerry, the owner, was friendly and interesting. The bar tender and chef were also really nice. Food was ready really quickly, too. A really cool bar where they get to know regulars. Hey, Tigers fans, try the food!! I guarantee that you will like it. Get outside your comfort zone!

    The ever so trusty Park Bar. I love this place,, just because there's no drama, no gimmicks, just an awesome place to go with friends have a drink and shoot the breeze. Craft beers on tap listed on the blackboard on the wall. Almost any cocktails you can think of plus none of the "I just turned 21" crowd. This is probably one of my go to spots for drinks in the city. Specially if I just want a beer. Wait for the crew to assemble, or end the night for a final drink. I must mention if you're also looking to eat something. The brand new legendary Hawaiian hole in the wall joint is partnered with them. The servers will gladly take your order, and bring em back to you at your table. It's a win-win situation for you and the servers. You get food and they get bigger tips. Weeeeeee!! Service is amazing here,, never have I had a bad experience. Plus the atmosphere is not snooty and everybody seems to be welcome here. Plus with late night bites like, musubi, poke, fried rice and so on. Definitely beats chicken wings or chicken fingers with fried potato sticks. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Thanks for reading my review. I hope this helps. Enjoy your amazing yelptastic day!!

    Stopped in for cocktails before dinner downtown. The holiday menu/Miracle takeover is fantastic! Every inch of the bar is decked out in holiday finery, right down to the tabletops. We tried the Chrismapolitain, the Partridge in a Pear tree and the yipee ki yay mother******. They were all strong, but delicious. The yippee was based on a sweet potato casserole with hints of citrus and marshmallows. The Partridge served up ample amounts of pear, smoke and bitters, in a good way. They have a small snack menu, but we were trying to save room for dinner. Next visit, I would love to try out the homemade Chex mix and the terrine and pickles, yum!

    I'd definitely suggest stopping in at Park Bar especially over the holidays. This year they have transformed into Miracle's pop-up Christmas themed bar which appears in bars all over the country. Last year The Skip hosted Miracle pop-up bar which was awesome but it's even better at Park Bar since it's a much larger space and can accommodate a lot more people and larger groups and feels less squished than at The Skip. Park Bar is located right next door to Cliff Bells and isn't too far from LCA, The Fox, and Fillmore so makes a great place to stop after a show. When you enter you'll notice Christmas lights everywhere, Christmas music playing, and large brightly wrapped presents hanging from the ceiling over the circular bar in the center of the establishment. There is seating around the bar and several tables around the perimeter and a few booths as well. The decorations were so festive and attentive to detail. We sat by a Christmas tree and windows covered in snowflake windows clings and every table is even decorated with a snow covered reindeer scene center piece. Even the bathroom was completely covered in shiny tinsel! The festive atmosphere at Park Bar definitely puts you in the mood for the holidays. If that wasn't enough Christmas cheer, the Miracle menu has excellent Holiday Spirits and I'm not talking about the kind in A Christmas Carol. There are ten holiday themed cocktails and naughty and nice shots. Most drinks are around $12. The menu was pretty similar to last year but changed slightly. My go-to is the Yippie Ki Yay Mother F*****! because Die Hard is a Christmas movie and also this drink is a delicious tropical rum drink with subtle hints of sweet potato flavor served in an adorable Santa Pants mug! What more could you want?! My friend ordered the Jingle Balls Nog, a cinnamon, cherry, vanilla, nutmeg eggnog drink that she said tasted like Christmas in a cup. It was a little small though and is served in an adorable miniature Christmas coffee mug. Although not on the menu, make sure to ask about the Christmas cookies. I believe they bake a different kind each day and for $5 you get two cookies wrapped in a cute cellophane festive wrap. We split the ginger cookies and they were so delicious. If you fall in love with the festive mugs, they also sell them for around $18. We had a great time here. We came after the Eve 6 concert pretty late and there were only a handful of people here but I'm sure it's getting busier here since we're getting even closer to the holidays. If you have time, definitely stop by The Skip after, as they are hosting Beach Bum Barry's Sippin' Santa tiki themed Christmas Bar.

    This review is for the Miracle Christmas bar that happened over the holidays in 2018. There are pop up Christmas takeovers that happen all over and Detroit has had one for the past couple of years. I read about this one online and thought it would be fun to check out while my boyfriend and I were in town for the Lions game around Christmas. They do take reservations but we stopped by hoping to grab a seat at the bar. We were able to find some standing room by the rail over to the side of the bar. The whole bar was decorated with lights, greenery and garland, fun ornaments and table top items, and presents hanging from the ceiling. All the bartenders and servers were dressed in holiday sweaters too. The drink menu was holiday themed with festive names and they all come in Christmas glasses. I got the Yippie Ki Yay, which is supposed to be sweet potato casserole themed, and my boyfriend got the eggnog. Both drinks were delicious! The eggnog tasted like you want an adult eggnog to taste like - rich, creamy, and boozy! The mug it came in was so cute and you could even purchase a set of them for $20. I was tempted but passed this time. My drink was also wonderful - it was actually very refreshing and had a tropical feel to it and it wasn't heavy at all. Drinks are around $12-$13 which was a little high but worth it for the fun experience.

    When I think of bars that I would like to hang out in for an entire day in downtown Detroit, Park Bar tops that list. When you combine a superb beer selection with a great ambiance and then add Bucharest's chicken schwarma and curly fries on to that, how could anyone ask for more?! Jerry has added to the revitalization of downtown not only with his properties, but his enthusiasm!

    Hard to say to much about Park Bar because it's a pretty basic spot, but I think it's worth stopping by for a pint if you're wandering around downtown. However it might be hard to find as there's no sign. It's in a great location right by Cliff Bells and has big floor to ceiling windows to watch the buzz of the city go by. The main feature is a big round bar in the middle of the room. The seats are pretty comfy, the service is friendly, and the prices are reasonable. It's also connected to Bucharest Grill if your in the mood for some uber-garlicky middle eastern food. They also have a great selection of Michigan craft beer on draft which is fun - we do make great beer here! Cheers!

    Great bar and awesome staff!

It's…read moreone of those spots you naturally end up at before or after a show, and it has that classic dive bar vibe that could be so good. But if you know crowds are coming when shows let out... you've gotta be ready for it. Two bartenders for a packed bar just wasn't cutting it. I waited about 20 minutes for a drink and eventually just gave up, which is frustrating when you're trying to enjoy a night out. And the one drink I did get earlier honestly looked like a sample cup. The place felt kinda dirty and weirdly quiet (before the rush)? Like super dark (which I get, dive bar) but no music or energy to balance it out. It just felt off. I've been here a few times now hoping it would hit different, but it hasn't yet. If you're the owner reading this, I'd just say plan for those post-show rushes. Even one more bartender and a little boost in atmosphere would go a long way. I'll probably still swing back because of the location, but man... I'd love to actually enjoy it next time.

I swear the odor is so powerful every breath fills your nose with mold. Everything in here doesn't look like it's been maintained cleaned or dusted in 30 years. There's piles of random items above the drink counter that look like it harbors dust from the 80s. Particles going right in the drink. On top of that they charged $10 at the door. And clearly it's a friends benefit kinda place because in the 45mins we were there we were LITERALLY THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO PAID A DOOR CHARGE!! Now we are sitting at the bar no drink menu no nothing. I order a simple 2 green tea shots and the waitress is like staring at me. And I'm repeating my order and she started making clicking noises with her mouth bopping her head like she tweaking. I ask her how much it will be and completely ignores me. She's definitely giving under the influence vibes. I'm like shouldn't be more than 20 dollars. NO I was charged 25 dollars for 2 green tea shots in a plastic shot cup. 45 mins and we were down 45 dollars place was gross af and the green tea shot tasted like straight sour mix.. The lady never even came back to the end of the bar to ask if we wanted something other than a green tea shot. Just spaced out talking to other bartender. We cut our losses and ran straight for the door Place needs Bar Rescue or a wrecking ball.
