Road construction is going on currently so it makes it challenging to get here, but it's clean and modern inside and looks like a place I would frequent if I lived in the area. I started with the Toucan Sam drink which was the only rum drink on their menu of specialty cocktails. It's a really good drink that is slightly bitter due to the campari and toasted almond bitters. For food, I was craving a burger but I visited on the wrong day. I chose the Thai style wings and a carne asada taco. Wings - the wings were decent but I got tired of eating them after the first 2. The thai peppers that it came with were not very spicy at all. The meat was also a little challenging to get off the bones for some reason. Taco - I enjoyed this better than the wings, even though this was smaller. Service was decent but not perfect. I was already ready to leave and then they asked if I wanted another drink. They were about 5 mins late since the bar area wasn't actively manned during a majority of my visit. read more

What a find! In the area and needed a place to eat. Simple and Casual. A full bar. Great specials and Happy Hour. Fast excellent service. Delicious food. We ordered Italian sandwich and chilaquiles verde with carnitas. Both outstanding. Love they had M43 on tap! Would happily eat here again. 5 stars! read more

Not quite a hole in the wall, but a great little place to have a meal. Fun foods, fun drinks, and good environment. Servers are friendly and the service is quick. You have to get the spam fried rice when you're there. read more

The Charlevoix is a cute neighborhood bar. I was visiting friends that lived in the neighborhood and we decided to drive over for a quick drink. Service was quick. The menu is small but has some tasty items to try. My friends order the wings and I ordered the lentil soup both of which we enjoyed very much. We also ordered old fashions but were a bit disappointed they didn't have a smoker. Nevertheless, they were okay. They did have a seasonal old fashion that we ordered after the traditional ones and we did enjoy that one much more. Overall, the place is very clean, the staff was kind and welcoming and the vibe was just what we needed for work night relax wind down spot. read more

The Charlevoix is not your typical neighborhood bar. Most bars seem to specialize in just one or two dishes, but the menu here offers both quality and diversity. Furthermore, the ambiance is hip and welcoming. I've had two of the cocktails; the Oh, You Again and the Hot Hot Heat. The former reminded me of a mojito, while the latter was a bit spicy for my liking. My go-to dishes are the buttermilk fried chicken mini and the burger. The burger is a Monday only special. In 2024, the Detroit Metro Times released a list of must try burgers, and Charlevoix's made the cut. To say the least, the spot on the list was well-deserved. Although the chicken sandwich is listed as "mini," it's larger than your average slider. It's topped with cucumbers rather than pickles. I initially thought that was odd, but it ended up being a nice touch. As for some other menu items, the sliders were enjoyable, with the highlight being the French onion cheese. I will say, I do prefer the burger. The fish taco was standard, but worth trying. The fried smashed potatoes had a good mix of flavors. The item's description on the menu provides a better idea of what you'll get than the name alone. The wings are some of the better ones I've had in the Pointes. The spam fried rice was absolutely delicious, as is the pork katsu sandwich. The sandwich is the most hearty of all the dishes mentioned. The Charlevoix spices things up by occasionally rotating menu items, and by announcing intriguing specials on social media. I do wish the tables had regular seating instead of backless stools. Aside from that minor critique, The Charlevoix has some of the best bar food in the Grosse Pointe area. read more

We arrives when they just opened, so service was a little slow. The menu had a large variety of options, and what we had was pretty good. I will come back. read more

I had the el pastor tacos, they were delicious. The service was great. I will certainly be back.

Had to update as it's been a couple years. I have had carry out from here during Covid and the food was great. I was excited to finally dine in on a rare night out. Service was friendly. It was very loud in the restaurant, but atmosphere was ok. To start, I got the "Oh, You Again" cocktail. It tasted like a class of cold limeade and nothing else. Pretty disappointing. Was still excited to try the food. We got the Thai Style wings, roast cauliflower salad, and pork osso bucco special. The wings were well cooked, but they didn't toss them in the sauce so they lacked flavor. The sauce was pooled at the bottom like they put it on after cooking as an afterthought and it dropped down the one section it was poured on. It came with stems of cilantro on top; had the herbs been incorporated in the sauce it would have been better. The roasted cauliflower salad had so much going on and still lacked flavor- we were not a fan. The pork osso bucco was served over grits. It was great and flavorful but was a pretty small portion for almost $30. Maybe it was an off night. I wouldn't go out of my way to try again, though after the great carry out experiences I wouldn't be too opposed. Still, if I'm paying over $100 for a dinner for two, I expected a bit more. read more

This is one of our favorite places. They have eclectic food and drinks that are always amazing. I start off with the Hot, Hot, Heat. A spicy little thing! We shared the coconut and collards salad which was so good I almost ordered another one. Lol. Next, we shared the Korean style pancake and that too was delicious. We ordered some sliders to go as they are always good! The service was just okay this time but usually it's spot on. read more

Great neighborhood bar, but so much more. Most innovative bar menu on the east side paired with great bartenders & a fantastic cocktail selection. Tonight we had the pork katsu sandwich & linguine with clams (don't think Italian-this is better). "Oh you again" is a refreshing summer cocktail. The collard & coconut salad is also a favorite. Modern music & friendly staff make this a local gem read more

What I was able to eat was tasty, but due to food allergies and the accompanying dietary restrictions, I found it ridiculously difficult to eat here. Came in after a funeral so I was starving. Ended up ordering tacos minus meat because everything else either had things I couldn't eat, or was "the salad." No accommodations were offered despite asking. One Diet Coke. Finally got an extra water out of the deal. Vegan options are not labeled, so you're guessing at specific ingredients. Was hoping the person cooking the food would've added more lettuce or black beans. You know, actually try to make what little I could eat at least a tad better. Nope. I won't be back, and if you're vegan or vegetarian, or have allergies, don't expect to be accommodated. read more

Popped in during happy hour while checking out our daughter's new neighborhood. Loved the creative Asian fusion menu items. Sampled several menu items and they were all delicious.An owner was waiting on us, and he and the rest of the staff were attentive and fun. The Charlevoix has a great neighborhood bar vibe- there were several families as well as many people looking like they were meet after work. We look forward to returning! read more

This is a true drive out of the way spot, a destination in itself and not just a place you stumble across. You choose to come here because it is absolutely the right place to go. The vibe inside is immaculate, the wait staff is excellent, and the food was hot, fresh, and exactly what I ordered. Nick was the bartender and he was super friendly, prompt, and easygoing. This is the place. You will want to come here, and quite honestly, you need to. read more

As my companion said... I didn't think the food would be this good. Indeed. It is good and affordable. Presented as small bites and very tasty. The salt and pepper wings are really great. Highly recommend .the drinks are extremely good and of course about as much as the food- . All part of their évil plan!!! read more

We returned for a work happy hour with about 12 of us, and it was great! Friendly, fast service, with great recs, homemade fresh food, nice craft cocktails and cold beer. An excellent way to watch a Tigers game. This time, we tried lots of their wings - they're so good. Crispy, juicy, tossed in sauce and/or dry rub - perfect. My favorites were the sweet habanero and the salt and vinegar. Yum! We also split the fish tacos, cauliflower salad, and schnitzel sandwich, and everything was just so fresh and flavorful. Top notch bar food. That sandwich is huge! I am kind of sad they don't have fries, but that chopped cauliflower salad was really crave-able and delicious. We also got the spam fried rice, which you really shouldn't pass up. It's charry and smoky; savory and unctuous - so good. I'm hardly ever in GP, but every single time I am, I will be here. It's almost worth traveling from the west side for. read more

Very friendly service, and great food! We enjoyed the arugula salad, it's simple and delicious. We also tried the crab cakes and the shrimp po boy. Both very fresh and perfectly cooked. For dessert we had the house cheesecake which was very creamy and a perfect ending to the meal. Will definitely be back to try those chicken wings and some of the other po boys read more

This is a "drive out of the way" spot, it's a destination, this isn't one of the stops along the way. You choose this spot because it's the right place to go to. The vibe inside is immaculate, the wait staff is top tier, the food was hot, fresh, and exactly what I ordered. Nick was the bartender and was super friendly, prompt, and easy going. This is the place, you want to go here. And quite frankly, need to. read more

I normally write my reviews throughout my dining experience. I sit down, take a look around, check out the menu. And, I start to write. But, Charlevoix didn't give me a chance to do that. I was in the middle of my check in when the food arrived. The review will have to wait. My oyster po boy was just about perfect. You can't see it underneath the bun, tomatoes, and chiffonade lettuce, but there are crunchy nuggets of awesomeness here. The remoulade works well with the oysters. You want to know how good it is? My wife hates oysters, but she loves this. My only knock would be the proportion of oyster to bun. I could have used another oyster nugget or two. The chicken sandwich has the same fantastic crunchiness, but it was in the small side. It's a bit larger than a slider, and not quite enough of you have an appetite. But, every bite was delicious. And...they don't have fries. Yes, I rolled my eyes when I heard that. Even though fries and ketchup aren't essential, I always think restaurants are making some kind of statement when they refuse to carry these staples. The bartender did direct us to their potatoes. They deep fry fingerling potatoes, and coat them with homemade tzatziki, feta cheese, and a pile of fresh dill. Wow is this good. Who needs fries? The Charlevoix occupies the space previously occupied by the Excalibur, a huge space with run-of-the-mill beer and bar food. The Charlevoix is modern looking, but with a casual vibe that encourages you to stay a while. The drinks are reasonably priced, and the food prices are not bad. The chef here shows some real creative chops, and there are half a dozen things I want to come back here and try. I also love that they have brunch. I look forward to updating my review when I have tried the rest of the menu. read more

Everything was delicious. The only thing I would change is how the carrots are sliced on the carrot tostada (it would be PERFECT if they were chopped to be bite sized) and it needs a bit of acidity to brighten it up just a bit ;a squeeze of lemon would be great. The Japanese wings are delicious and the cocktail (a man in the yellow hat) was perfection. I'd definitely recommend and return. read more

I stopped in for 1 item. I saw a social media post with the Charlevoix Iced Coffee & was instantly interested! It's only served on Sunday. What's in it? Blackstrap rum, vanilla vodka, Buffalo trace bourbon cream, coffee liqueur, & Cafe Du Monde chickory blend cold brew. It packs a punch! They were out of whipped cream. I was looking forward to the drink I saw posted by The Charlevoix, which included whipped cream. That was disappointing. If this specialty drink is only available on Sunday, please also have the advertised topping. It was good, but likely would've been great with each ingredient. Service was fast & friendly. There's street parking on Charlevoix. read more

The Charlevoix - The salt and pepper shrimp are solid AF - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan

A tried and true favorite and reasonably priced. Cauliflower salad is unbelievable. Everything always tastes fresh and delicious.

A few months ago, wife was out and i wanted nothing more than a well-made cocktail, Since it was warm and I hadn't been to the Charlevoix since last year, I stopped by for a whiskey sour, Not only was it prepared from scratch (no "sour mix" from the "gun") but they asked if I wanted the egg white as well. Needless to say, my drink was exceptional and quite reasonably priced. The service was stellar as always in the past. Don't hesitate to visit the Charlevoix for impressively good cocktails and a nice selection of food. No standard bar food here (ie mozzarella sticks) and that in and of itself speaks to their quality. read more

The food menu isn't very large here, but everything on it is so good. The burger (usually only on Monday) is excellent and the chicken wings are amazing. Came in today with my son and we both loved them. Two orders of classics, a Thai and Japanese. The cocktails are delicious and sometimes there's a wait so if it's the weekend expect to wait. It's worth it. read more

Stopped in for food on our way out town after being referred by my sister.WOW!!! Abby our server was great. Everything sounded so good... so I went with the shrimp po-boy, and my husband had the arugula salad. The salad was excellent! The po-boy was OUTSTANDING! I go to New Orleans every year for the past 30+ years mostly to eat. I have a friend who is a chef there, I've never had a better po-boy!!!! The bread was So fresh and crusty the filling and seasoning was perfection and the shrimp was plentiful and delicious. If only I had more days to come back again and again. I make a trip back yearly so I definitely will be back to try more things! Oh and my margarita was delicious as well! The place has great ambience too! TRY IT!!!!! read more

Great food, friendly employees and guests. Smiles all around! Looking forward to our next visit.

Got off work early today. So decided to stop at The Charlevoix for a late lunch. I must say the cocktails and food are spot on. But the staff 5's. Nick and Chrystal were absolutely amazing. Highly recommend! read more

Food is great, no complaints there. Although I've been coming here for a couple years now and I'm not one to leave reviews at all, but it's gotten to that point. There's a lady that works there not sure of her name, middle aged, usually wearing some type of hat, she's the rudest to all her customers and I don't understand how she still has a job there. Maybe she's a family member or has some kind of connection with the owners where they just won't ever fire her, but I've never been spoken to so rudely by someone in the service industry. And it's not just like she's having a bad day or something this has been every time I came in over the last few years, she's always rude. Besides that it's a great vibe inside the place and I'll probably still return, just won't bother having her as my server ever again. read more

We just had cocktails here one busy night. My cold brew martini was delicious. I did have to sit on a tiny short child size stool at a short table. It was too packed to get a better chair. We left because it was too uncomfortable to stay and eat. But on a less busy night probably would be nice. Drinks were very good for all the people in our group. read more

The Charlevoix is definitely worth the drive to a fun destination restaurant. Started off with their beer and shot special. Then the delicious roasted cauliflower salad. Finished strong with the Italian Beef Po' Boy. The service is friendly and the ambience is open and entertaining. read more

Sweet baby Spaghetti Monster, save me from the tyranny of well done smash burgers on brioche buns with American cheese. Even if executed perfectly, this is a pretty weak rendition of a burger. Top that off with a server that went on a triade with me about the merits of gin verses vodka when I asked for a gin sour, then settled for a pisco sour since they didn't have any gins I liked. And then, when he dropped it at the table and I was in the bathroom, he told me friend that I was "kinda bossy"... Um, yeah, when I'm paying for a craft cocktail and a weak burger, guess what, I am the boss. And that Pisco Sour wasn't even as good as the one I made for myself the night before. So if you like misogyny and sour attitudes and weak burgers, this is your spot! Oh, don't forget the utter lack of sound dampening and uncomfortable chairs. Two stars because their fries are good but I think only available on Mondays and they make a decent Spanish Coffee. read more

We love coming to The Charlevoix! The po' boys are always on the menu -- shrimp and perch are our go-tos -- and we always like to try one of their specials. The espresso martinis are fantastic, the wings are consistently great, and the service is friendly and fast every time. The atmosphere is lively but still cozy. My only small suggestion would be a few more low-top tables, but that's just being picky. Great food, great drinks, great people -- one of the best spots around! read more

Food was super yummy - cauliflower salad! Great vibe and a full bar. Service was great and I would definitely return!

Food was good. Had a cool vibe. I would go back again. Easy parking, staff was friendly

My friend and I have been here a few times now and we love it! We sit at the bar and always have good drinks and amazing food. Bartenders are awesome. Their espresso martini is great. We've tried their sliders, wings, tacos, spam fried rice, fried smashed potatoes, and more. Literally everything is delicious, you can't go wrong. It's a cute place and really chill vibe. read more
