    Cool downtown bar. Kinda divey feel without being a dive bar. Great beer selection as well as spirits. They had an outdoor area around back but didn't get there.

    Interior!

    Let me start of my saying, I had one of the best sandwiches I've ever had in my life here. I think it was the Italian club! Service was super friendly, and honest. Beer selection good and the overall place had a fun vibe! Prices fair too. Coming here every time I'm in Detroit!

    New bar & night life spot!!! The Post Bar is owned by the same people who own the location in Plymouth. So far I've been to this bar last Thursday & Sunday (during a Lions game). It's located in the Skip. Was able to get a table before the Lions game but anticipate it getting busier when more people realize it's here. The servers were friendly & the drinks were strong. Did not try any of the food this time only because I came from brunch. *The drinks in my review were from the holiday cocktail list*

    This was like a blast from the 90s past! We were hopping around and decided to go into the Post Bar. I was super excited because this was a hangout of mine in the 90s. Of course this isn't the same place, but it all felt so familiar! It was slammed for a Saturday afternoon. But it is March Madness and MSU was playing. It was a disappointing ending but still fun to watch. We enjoyed some of their tap beers and the food all looked very good. We would definitely come back. We had a great time.

    Absolutely delicious food, even though the menu is a little limited. Highly recommend the prime rib sandwich and the sub hero sandwich! Service is friendly and the whole vibe is just a good time. This bar is located really close to the stadiums as well!

    Post Bar in the Belt is a great space to grab a cocktail. The drinks are served up with efficiently with a smile from one of the many bartenders. It is refreshing to have such a large space in this area. We went in for one cocktail, but will definitely be back for more because our experience here was so pleasant! Be sure to check out this new location!

    Great place to stop along a little tour of The Belt alleyway and of downtown Detroit! I was initially attracted to this spot due to its history- the original Post Bar's sign is hanging up inside and creates a fun glow. We were able to get a spot at the bar on a Saturday night at 6:30pm and it was just getting busy for the night! The Blood Orange Margarita was great, and my husband got an IPA. One unique aspect that the Post Bar is known for is the graffitied walls. They have a bucket of markers available so you can sign your name...or whatever you want :-)

    Great new spot downtown! The service was great, kind and friendly bartenders. The food and drinks were great and promptly served. The bar is really beautiful and finally provides a fun, casual atmosphere in an area where all the new bars and restaurants are too trendy and dressy, the Post bar feels like a place where you can relax and get a beer and catch a game.

    If you're looking for pure vibes in downtown Detroit, The Skip is the move…read more This spot is such a fun escape -- colorful, open-air, and full of energy. The music hits, the crowd is always lively, and it just feels like summer no matter what time of year it is. Whether you're stopping by before hitting another spot or making it your main destination for the night, The Skip always delivers. Now let's talk drinks -- because they do not play around. The Long Islands are ON POINT. Strong, smooth, and perfectly balanced. Not watered down, not overly sweet -- just right. You definitely feel like you're getting your money's worth, and they're dangerously easy to sip. I love the overall vibe here. It's social, upbeat, and perfect for hanging with friends. If you want good music, great drinks, and a guaranteed good time, The Skip should absolutely be on your list. This is one of those places you go once... and then it becomes part of your regular rotation.

We made reservations in a weekend but it wasn't necessary at 5. What I didn't know what this theme is a pop up much like Miracle Bar around Christmas. The mugs are not really made for The Skip and can be found online for less. Most importantly is the drinks are not good. They're not spirit forward, they're full of mixers. Such a bummer because they do make good cocktails occasionally. We were one and done this evening due to the bad drinks and loads of people who brought their kids to this bar. The decor is great. Service is attentive and friendly. Not in a rush to return.

    If you're looking for a spot that truly elevates the downtown Detroit experience, Standby…read moreabsolutely lives up to the hype. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere pulls you in. It's sleek, intimate, and effortlessly cool without feeling pretentious. The lighting, the music, the overall aesthetic -- everything feels intentional. It's the kind of place that works just as well for date night as it does for a night out with friends. Now let's talk about the drinks -- because that's where Standby really shines. The cocktails are creative, beautifully presented, and perfectly balanced. You can tell there's serious thought behind every ingredient. Whether you're into something bold and spirit-forward or smooth and refreshing, they nail it. The food matches the energy of the bar. Every dish feels curated, flavorful, and plated with care. It's not just "bar food" -- it's thoughtfully crafted and pairs perfectly with whatever you're sipping. Service has always been attentive and knowledgeable. The staff knows the menu inside and out and makes great recommendations without making you feel rushed. Standby is one of those places that feels like a hidden gem even though everyone knows about it. If you want craft cocktails, elevated bites, and a true downtown Detroit vibe, this is your spot. I'll definitely be back.

    I hadn't been home in three years, and I probably hadn't been to The Standby in five or six years…read more. and let me tell you, it's still just as amazing as I remember. Downtown Detroit definitely feels different now, and the crowd has shifted a bit, but none of that took away from what The Standby is. That alleyway magic is still there. Walking in honestly felt like a little blast from the past, and it made me really happy. It ended up being a highlight of my trip home. The food was phenomenal. The crab was so buttery, the waffle situation was amazing, and the overall execution across the menu was impressive. We ordered a lot, basically half the menu and everything hit. * Short rib plate: delicious, rich, and comforting * Chicken schnitzel with curry mustard: WOW. Juicy, crunchy, fresh, perfectly seasoned. The curry mustard was everything, and that little pepper on top? 10/10. This was hands down my favorite dish. * Drinks: They had brand ambassadors for Wild Turkey, giving out free Old Fashioneds, which was honestly the perfect touch. We also had a small ounce pour of a mezcal that was beautifully smoked, super aromatic and smoky in the best way. Service was great too, we had two different servers, and both were attentive and kind. The only miss for me personally was the pastrami salmon toast. I wanted to love it so badly because I love salmon and I love smoked fish, but it just wasn't for me. I actually sent it back (which I felt bad about). I think the slight sweetness, (possibly from the tomato jam)threw it off for my palate. I was craving something fully savory with a bit of acidity. I think a thicker, crunchier toast and a more umami-forward, citrusy or pickled element might have taken it where it needed to go. That said, I know pastrami-style salmon is a thing right now, it just didn't work for me. Everything else? Truly amazing. The Standby will forever be a place I come back to when I'm home. I'm excited to return, see what's new on the menu, and relive that magic again. Highly recommend. 10 out of 10. Will absolutely be back.

Came here for breakfast and there was only one person working the tables( serving/ cleaning, etc.). Subsequently, our breakfast took a lot longer than we had hoped for. My husband ordered the sourdough French toast which had fresh fruit and was delicious ($15). I ordered the Trolley Express: 2 eggs with home fries (yum), my choice of turkey sausage and delicious sourdough toast )$25). No regular milk was available and I didn't want soy, almond and whatever the third one was, so I got green tea. It was fabulous, a blend of jasmine and green tea leaves. We ordered it online after, can't wait. Several prints ( blown up postcards) of the trolleys of Detroit; very cool and hence the name. Our stay included 2 complimentary breakfasts ($15 pp) and two drinks; not sure if this is standard. Hoping whomever most likely called out comes in to help this overworked employee.

Sometimes with unique ingredients. I always tend to gravitate to a more zippy fruit cocktail and those have often come with pop rocks, which is super fun. My significant other, during our last visit, got a smoked cocktail which was a fun experience and my sister received a miniature plate of cheese, pickles with hers. There was only a single pickle and a teeny bit of cheese, but it was kind of funny. (For the price, you would think you would get more or they would offer it as an option) The ambiance in there is always moody and romantic in a way. It can be a smidge hard to see the menus depending on where you sit. The place is quite small, we have sat along the back and at the bar, both are nice locations with different vibes. The service is always good, sometimes you have a very talkative bartender and other times they don't say a word, but I'm sure they are all very knowledgeable. It's a bit of a hidden gem, some people that I talk to still don't know it's secretly waiting for them in a mildly sketchy downtown city alley. Part of its appeal!
