    Always a great place for good bar food. Plenty of TV's to watch whatever games are on. Plenty of space and some outdoor seating. Excellent burger & a beer.

    Triple Decker Club Sandwich along with fried cauliflower.

    Love, RJs pub! It's a great local dive type bar in the Rochester Hills community. Great spot to have a drink at the bar, watch a sports game, or as I frequently go to the Oakland University basketball's head coach Greg Kampe's radio show. Parking is not too bad. They also have a great outdoor deck area. When you walk inside, you are greeted by the bar and tables throughout. If you make a right and follow the hallway, you're in a more quieter dining type area. The staff here are always extremely friendly and attentive. Restrooms are clean and single stall use. Their menu has a lot of great bar food, staples, such as wings, pizza, and a nice selection of appetizers and sandwiches. Their prices are not bad, but if you add fries or want to upgrade, it can quickly become pretty pricey. They do charge a service fee for credit cards and their menu also notes charging extra for soft drink refills (you get one free refill). The food is amazing though! The appetizer of cauliflower with ranch always comes out piping hot and has a great batter on the cauliflower. I've had quite a few sandwiches, and every one is very good. Please do yourself a favor and get the seasoned fries! They have an amazing taste. The taste is hard to explain, but it has a salty and sweet type of seasoning. I would come here just for the season fries! My only complaint is they never have hard cider on tap. Otherwise, never had a bad meal and always had great service!

    The 288 burger is outstanding. I'd even say the best burger in all of the Rocheater area (fyi I'm a snob when it comes to burger). Not only is the food great, the staff is amazing, plus we scored a limited run of ball caps to show our support for a local business!

    The service, food, and atmosphere are stellar! This is not an average pub. This is a place for everyone who enjoys great food, sports, and / or patio drinks.

I went into the restroom and when I came out there was someone washing their hands at the sink. I opened the door and the door hit her .

But overral amazing place and I will be back for a nice rooftop dinner .

We were told before we were…read moreseated that we had to be gone in an hour because they had another group coming even with a reservation. Our food ended up taking forever to come out so we were rushed to hurry up and eat and leave when it came out. For appetizers we got the chips and dip and salads. The dip had a long piece of hair in it and we immediately sent it back and the waiter looked at us like we were crazy for not wanting it. The salads were pretty good - big portion with lots of fresh toppings and dressing. For entrees we got the buffalo chicken sandwiches and the grilled chicken plate. My mom asked for no buffalo and it came with buffalo on it so she didn't love it. Mine on the other hand was pretty average. It was a large portion and had a good amount of toppings on it that altogether was very flavorful. I did ask for ranch on the side when i ordered and it took awhile for it to come out. The chicken plate was just about the only good dish we had. It came with a good spread of well prepared food and was a healthy option on the menu. The worst part of this experience was when we asked for bags for left overs the waiter told us to go get it ourselves so we had to awkwardly go behind the bar to grab it. Overall the service was terrible- everyone was rude. The food was slightly above average but with the hair in it and messing up our orders i would not recommend. Even though this is in prime location there are so many better options in the area. I could see this place having potential for coming for drinks with all the tvs or on the rooftop in the summer but thats about it.

The menu is vast and features a lot of traditional Irish inspired options and they are famous for their signature boxties. I recently had their Burrata Caprese salad and it was delicious!

For my drink I had the Dragonberry Mojito and it was refreshing, but could've been a little stronger.

Are you guys going to respond to the alleged sexual predator issue going on with your head manager Jacob Wutka or what? A post (the text in quotes below) is circulating around, there are plenty of comments from past employees corroborating your guys hiring of and keeping predators employed and these comments talk about this issue being existent years ago. Time to address this regardless of what is going on. You cannot run from this. We will not let it happen. The circulating post: "Meet Jake. Jake is a current registered child registered sex offender who is a current employee at the Hamlin Pub in the downtown Rochester area. Jake was charged with having sensually charged contact with a minor under the age of 18. Jake was involved some time back in a sting operation ran by none other than Chris Hansen, which led to his initial charges and current status as a child sex offender. As a former employee of hamlin pub who worked closely with Jake for the last couple of months without any knowledge of his past crimes, I am very well informed by the fact that, since he is employed as a head manager at this Hamlin Pub location, has minors from high-school around the surrounding area (adams, rochester, stoney creek) currently working and employed under his care. I made my own attempt to confront management and ownership of the fact that they currently employ a registered child sex offender with the management and supervision over minors in high-school, I was subsequently and permanent tresspassed from the property on part of management and ownership as a result of bringing this information to light. Please do your due diligence to make this individual famous around your own communities and around the rochester and rochester hills areas as well. Please share this post with friends, family and neighbors so that we can cultivate a culture of accountability towards these deplorable sex criminals within our own communities. Jake clearly shows within his own mugshot that he expresses no remorse for any of his actions or criminal conduct, and should be placed in an environment in which high-school minors are frequently employed at.
