    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!

If you want to sit outside, all you have to do is order at the bar and they'll serve your drinks in plastic cups for you to take outside. The rhubarb pie punch was so delicious I had to order it twice! Probably one of my favorite cocktails I've ever had. I also ordered the maurixio cattelan, which tasted like ginger ale. For a snack before dinner, we chose to get the burrata and it was so refreshing. The service was great and our bartender was super friendly! The logo with the little lamb is adorable.

Nate and I stopped in on our most recent visit to Detroit and had a lovely experience. The space is tucked away but had a surprising amount of outdoor space--we were there in January but I'd love to come back in the summer. We were greeted right away and given a spot near the bar. The menu includes cocktails, lots of wine, and several tasty food options. It was quite busy inside, so it took a bit of time for our server to come over to us, but we weren't in a rush. They had ten cocktails on their list and I tried the bullet proof soul and Nate got the negroni alla perra. The ingredients list for some of the cocktails include things I've never heard of, but at a place like this, I just know it's going to be good. Our drinks were perfectly balanced and very tasty. We also ordered the mortadella sandwich to split--this was delicious. It was pretty messy, but worth it. It was perfectly toasted and full of mortadella. Everything on the menu sounded delicious and I would love to try more of the food options. Can't wait to visit again!

Our server was very welcoming and helped to set up our food order into courses that allowed us a very relaxing evening Cocktails were really good. I had a Last Word and it was very well done. The restaurant is decorated very nicely with warm wood trim. The bar area looked stellar and very French-bistro like. I will sit there next time No so Highs Food was good, but just OK. Between the two of us we had the beet salad, burger and steak tartare. Burger was good, but not the best smash burger that I've had. Beet salad was fine, however the cream cheese was a bit overpowering against the orange oil. It was dying for some citrus. Steak tartare was a bit dry, meaning that a small dab of olive oil would have added to the richness and overall mouth feel. I did not really taste the egg although I did see a dab of yolk on the tartare. Needed a bit of salt also to enhance the taste Menu was small, but it did cover a cross section of French bistro dishes. All in all, I thought it was a bit overpriced. So I will have to consider returning for a full meal. I would come back for a burger and beer at the bar.

We made reservations in a weekend but it wasn't necessary at 5. What I didn't know what this theme is a pop up much like Miracle Bar around Christmas.

Such a bummer because they do make good cocktails occasionally. We were one and done this evening due to the bad drinks and loads of people who brought their kids to this bar. The decor is great. Service is attentive and friendly. Not in a rush to return.
