The creativity, craftsmanship, and sheer effort that go into bringing each concept to life are truly extraordinary. One of the highlights of every visit is seeing Tina, Jake, and Nick behind the bar. They're incredibly welcoming, and their cocktail skills are second to none. The banana rum is nothing short of magical, but I'm also a big fan of their gin, sotol, and aquavit. Bravo to the team on the current theme, Wild Wild Weiss! I'm looking forward to making my way through the entire cocktail menu.

Honestly, the cocktails were the least successful part. Overly sweet, overly tart, bourbon was not great. They are a distilling company and use their own spirits at the speakeasy bar. Personally, I think you are asking for trouble trying to make bourbon outside of Kentucky, but to each his own. Vodka was the best of the spirits we tried. Next month they are doing wild west theme...Giddyup!

There were some tables and high tops but there also was lounging type areas. That is where our group hung out for the evening and it was perfect. We all could talk with one another but still able to enjoy our drinks and food. Our waiter was amazing. I wish I caught his name. But we were a rowdy bunch and he handled us professionally and was friendly. My only complaint was not filling waters enough. But other than that drinks and food came out pretty fast. 54 W. has a collaboration with Mojave Cantina for food, so you can't go wrong because Mojave is delicious! Drinks and food were all tasty! The place has their own bathrooms - two unisex single stall restrooms. Not sure if it was the big group and I missed it? But didn't know if they had a drink menu? Food menu was a QR code and our waiter brought over hard copy menus from Mojave. A very cool place and great for drinks or celebrating.

Came to 54 West on Thursday night for Quizzo trivia and while trivia was a blast as always, the…read morerestaurant itself was lacking. We sat at the bar and had to wait a while before even getting menus. This kind of service continued for the rest of the night and we honestly felt ignored and forgotten. Once we got our food (we ordered the Tacos Mexicanos) we had to wait again for silverware. The bartender never came by to check on us after receiving our food so we ended up having to flag down a different server. And then instead of being able to ask the bartender for a margarita, I had to flag down a different server AGAIN to put my drink order in. This place seemed super hectic and disorganized. Food runners did not seem to know where they were going and had to yell across the place to ask the servers who ordered the food they were carrying. Not sure if they don't number their tables but it was super distracting and made them look unprofessional. The food itself was mediocre. This is the outdoor space behind Mojave Cantina so they share a menu/kitchen. I thought the meats were quite dry and needed some acid or some kind of brightness to wake them up. I thought the space itself was really cute though. And I love a themed out bathroom and the sliding doors with the hook locks were super fun. Overall, probably would not come back to 54 West.

They do not take reservations, so getting a table could be hit or miss. As the indoor space is small, they do try to offer outdoor seating - which is a pass for me in late October in Michigan. Our server was fantastic and the french onion soup was one of the best renditions I have ever had. They broil the cheese with a mini blowtorch table side - fun! The broth was really rich and flavorful. It is a nice combo of cozy and elegant. It could work for date night, ladies night, catch up with a friend, or solo at the bar. .

I drove 70 miles (from Irish Hills) to visit a friend in Clawson Sept 2009. We went to about four places in the downtown area and settled on this one because the smell of the pizza was awesome. After trying the pizza, I must confirm what others are saying...its great. Now that everyone is smoke free, the smoke complaints are irrelevant. Going back tonight... over a year later. The anticipation of pizza and the cheap drink prices has me drooling. read more

You cannot beat the drink and food prices anywhere! Everyday 22oz Coors Light, Labatt and PBR for $2. You can eat and have a drink for less than $10. The Shawster is the best sandwich on the menu and you can't go wrong with the BBQ pulled pork quesadilla. The soups and food specials are homemade. Renshaw is a great place to go for lunch or dinner. read more
