Walked in with about 6 friends ( all 25-30)years old) last week. We wanted to play some pool, throw…read moresome darts and have some drinks since " On the rocks" had no tables left. We walk in and we all show our ID's to the bartender. About 5 minutes goes by and the bartender comes back over to us and explains " the manager called and said some of you look under 21" and that " we must leave immediately"... we thought it was a joke, but it certainly was not. We all left promptly and went to the liquor across the street and played uno at home instead (way better than the salty dog anyway) Totally explains why there was 4 people in there on a Friday Night !!! I hate writing a bad review but id like to prevent anybody else from having this experience ! Go to on the rocks 1/4 mile north of there if you want to have fun / a good time with your friends that enjoy karaoke and actually getting served . Made for a good story and a reason to never go back. Marty if you're reading this, either make a way for your bartender to feel confident reading an ID, or get a scanner to confirm authenticity. Certainly never bringing any friends there for a good time again. Ill give 3 stars to not completely diminish your rating and be favorable towards one bad experience but personally id like to give 1 star for being such a vibe killer and ultimately making me a salty dog

Crazy ship shaped themed bar we've frequented off and on for over forty years…read more Times have changed since everyone dressed like pirates and they had a lunch crowd back in the eighties. At one point there were even stag films and a bottomless waitstaff. The drinks are a bit lacking, as to be expected by the atmosphere and there's no longer the same vibe they once offered. Sadly, we saw no food and an incredibly filthy dive bar. The only saving grace was the nice staff and bits of the Pirates of the Caribbean film. 08/25

Ye Olde Saloon is an absolute Royal Oak classic. This place has been around since 1975--I was five…read moreyears old when it opened--and it's still going strong for a reason. Incredible burgers, great drinks, and that perfect old-school dive bar vibe you just can't fake. It's the kind of place that feels comfortable the second you walk in. The atmosphere is always solid, and the staff is amazing--friendly, attentive, and clearly proud of the place. Whether you're grabbing a burger, having a few drinks, or just soaking in the history, Ye Olde Saloon never disappoints. If you're in downtown Royal Oak and haven't been here, you're seriously missing out.

Food was way off tonight. Came in with my girl for a couple burgers and fries. No biggie, or so I…read morethought. Both mine and my ladiy's burger were ordered medium rare; what we received resembled two NHL hockey pucks, only slightly warmer on a sloppy, sogggy bun. UNEDIBLE. Gross. We showed the barkeep and she agreed to have th re-made. Fast forward another 20 minutes and they were over-cooked again. I haven't experienced this here ever before. Something seemed off. Caitlyn, the barkeep took care of our drinks for the inconvenience. Upon leaving, I saw the "cook" outside smoking a cigarette and sipping off a flask. I love this place, but if your kitchen staff can't hold it together, maybe it's time to look at other options. Thanks to Caitlyn for being as accommodating as possible. Next time I'll order something no-brainer, like some tatertots.

We've been coming here a long time because we love the wings. We continued to go and dealt with…read moreall the covid era BS (prices doubled and cash only, etc.) Now a days the place has gone way downhill. The last four times my son and I went the wings were cold and chewy. The first time, maybe an off day but it just keeps happening and now we are done. The place reeeeeks of weed. (no judgement!) But, Maaaan it was painfully overwhelming. They are now including 20% gratuity automatically with no warning. This used to be in our top 5 for wings but no longer. No reason to go back. (Servers were, however, very nice)

Next visit my friend and I decided to try their wings since they claim they have the best wings in the area They were as small as my thumbnail and cooked to almost burnt black. I ordered my wings plain and it came doused in hot sauce which I'm not a fan of. When I brought it to the waitresses attention she said well that's all the wings we have because we sell out fast. Fine no problem. I paid my bill, got a to-go box and gave it to the homeless gentleman on the corner of Dequindre. Hopefully he enjoyed them more than I did. Also want point out that depending on what night you go the clientele greatly varies. On the night with the wings it was a pretty rough crowd inside and when we were leaving someone sideswiped my friend's car. To his credit he did stop and apologized but said he had no insurance and took off. There wasn't any major damage and my friend was able to buff out most of the scratches. There's too many other places in the Warren/Madison Heights area for bar food that I probably won't be returning to Bugsy's .

Coach Grille is primarily known for its burgers, though specials, such as lamb chops and braised…read morerabbit, are occasionally available. The staff is efficient, and the atmosphere is welcoming. To start, the split pea soup and onion rings are both solid choices. The soup is made in-house, and the panko-breaded onion rings were crispy and firm. I happened to dine in when lamb chops were on special. They were meaty and cooked just right. As for the burgers, Coach sources its meat from Fairway Packing Co. and its buns from Cannelle by Matt Knio. I've tried the All American and the Coach burger. The All American features standard toppings, while the Coach burger is topped with an egg, cheddar cheese, bacon, and a special sauce. Of the two, I preferred the Coach burger, though both were enjoyable. The French fries are hand cut and on the thicker side. The Cajun fries had just the right amount of seasoning, and the garlic fries were well complemented by the cotija cheese and garlic aioli. Fries are not included with any of the handhelds. For dessert, I've had the peanut butter cheesecake. It was rich, with a brownie-like crust. Coach Grille shouldn't be compared to the average bar. While the menu features typical bar food, the quality is well above the norm. Whether you come here for a burger, or something else, you won't be disappointed.

Coach Sports Grille is probably one of the most underrated spots in the area…read more The food is on point, the menu is pretty diverse, and the servers are friendly and helpful. I've spotted a new special every time I've been, so they keep things fresh and rotational which you don't always see in sports bars. So far, I've had the Pulled Pork Brioche, Gourmet Burger, and Suicide Burger but there's more of the menu I'd like to try. My only criticism is the french fries are thick cut steak fries which aren't my preference and despite the Garlic Fries being talked up a lot, I thought they were on the bland side. If they added shoestring fries and a nice house made Caesar dressing and Chicken Caesar Salad, they'd be the perfect spot for me.

Great service and delicious burgers! Met a friend for dinner and drinks and Lauren was our server…read more She was quick to take drink and food orders and kept checking on us throughout the evening! I had only been here once before about a year ago but I think this place may become our regular place to meet! We both had burgers, I had the Thursday burger special, and my friend had the Build a burger. Both burgers were cooked as ordered and mine was one of the best I've had. The last menus I saw on Yelp for the Hideout were over 3 years old so I added pics of the current menu, cocktails, shots and beers on tap along with pics of our burgers! We will definitely be back soon! If you're looking for great service and craving a juicy bar burger, the Hideout is the place to get both!!
