This bar is a block from Polish Village Cafe. We stepped in to have a drink while waiting for our party for dinner. Good choice of craft beers for a reasonable price. The regulars were getting an eye full of the strangers that were sitting in the corner, but if you aren't shy and don't mind the looks then it's definitely a beer whiskey dive bar and about the only place to grab a drink in the area. It's very small and the bar seating was full. There are a few tables too. I think they have food. I saw something about beignets on the wall. TVs are big and one viewable from each seat.

Instead we got to enjoy The Kielbasa Kings! What a fun time!! I was super excited because we haven't been able to enjoy this celebration since pre-covid! But we are baaaaaaccckkk! 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. They made both bathrooms female and brought in a porta potty for the guys. The removed all the furniture so it was standing room only. We got our polka on and had a great time! Great start to the day!!

If I have two great loves in my life it has to be dive bars and burgers. Is that weird? Yes. Is it…read moreshallow? Probably. Developed from years of cynicism? Definitely. 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.

We hang out in the Hamtramck area frequently, particularly on Fat Tuesday and the Polish Festivals. But one of our friends has started bartending here once a month so we like to come and show him a little love! This is a classic dive bar that's been around for ever! You need to keep that in mind. It is cash only (but they have an ATM). There is no food. You are not going to go in and order a fancy drink. Lol. But they have a good variety. I like to stick with Polish beers and liquors because where else are you going to get that? Suzy comes by frequently so you get to know the owner as well! There is something to see every where you look and something new always catches my eye! Lol. We need to show these old spots a bit of love! Come and check it out!

Your eyes will at first rest on the ancient mahogany back bar stocked with the finest elements a skilled mixologist will utilize to create the libations of your dreams. Fine artwork adorns the walls featuring a combination of delightfully naughty retro prints reflecting the nose art on army air corp bombers to the promotion posters celebrating the places storied history as a music venue. No detail is overlooked, even the men's room contains a fluid mural reminiscent of the street art on the Carabobo line of the Buenos Aries subway. Next you will notice you are in the presence of some highly esteemed patrons. Mostly hushed, but occasionally raucous conversations are taking place amongst the community's leading poets, artists, clergy, musicians, runway models, academics, thespians, captains of industry and members of the fifth estate. This is a place where the best, brightest and beautiful enter to escape the sordid mundanity of society and gather with like minded people to solve the worlds problems, or enjoy a friendly game of billiards or cards.

They were repeatedly putting their hands on our backs after being asked to stop as well. They finally went away but then continued to try to engage with us from across the room.

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.
