    This is how much was left, they won't refund you and just avoid it

    Got called a n***** by the male bartender maybe this place should have been shut down for good. Literally tried to get my money back that was stuck in dart board machine and they don't allow it. Completely avoid, hope they get shut down again

    Great drinks, good service, good vibes, cute indoor and outdoor seating areas! Defiantly a college town bar, loved the outdoor seating. I got a daiquiri and their mango-peach frozen margarita, both were so insanely good! They also have an area where you can get bar food. If you're looking for a good bar to chill and chat with friends I'd recommend Third Street Bar!

    We came to keep drinking. Mainly for dessert because of the Dangerously Delicious Pies is located inside the venue. So drinks and dessert it is. They had their Atwater Vanilla Java Porter was on special, so we ordered a round of those. Plus these would probably go great with the dessert pies we ordered. I like this venue,, the whole industrial feel of the place just seems very right. Plus I like the repurposed wooden wire cases for the tables. Good drinks, good food makes for a very good night. My friend was buying the drinks and dessert, so we did their special on Atwater java porters. The place is pretty good, I like the whole luchador masks the bartenders wear. There are games to play if you want to be doing something competitive when drinking. Usually I prefer to sit and conversate. Speaking of conversations, I don't know if it's just that night we went. But the sound system was rather painfully loud. I'm really not into shouting at my colleagues when we're just talking about something in particular. A proper audiophile couldn't hurt to check on the system.

    Let me just say. The food here is the best!!!!!!!! The sliders, the cat fish bites, the loaded fries (add shrimp and steak) OMG! It was a party in my mouth and only I was invited. The staff was friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is laid back and comfortable. We had a great time playing darts! And the drinks just kept on coming. My husband, sister, dad and I will definitely be back! We've found our new hangout spot. The fact that you can control the music through the juke box definitely put the cherry on the top of the cake for us!

    Packed on a Saturday night.

    This place is always my first choice to go drink. You don't have to deal with the "bro" crowd or pretentious hipsters here. The drink prices are great and the bartenders are always friendly and hilarious. They also have live music and karaoke once a week, it's great fun! Dangerously Delicious Pies also lives here. Omg, get a pie, do it. If you only eat one thing between now and the day you die, get their pie.

    It's got a cool enough atmosphere, I like these types of bars though. I like them when they are a little ramshackle and different. The decorating is pretty cool and rustic, and they seem to have a sense of humor. We were there eating some deliciousness from Dangerously Delicious Pies and they were playing the Puppy Bowl and the Kitten Bowl on Super Bowl Sunday. They have shuffle board and a few other games. It's just a laid back atmosphere. They have a juke box, which is something not enough places have anymore and it didn't seem like anyone care if you were dressed in pajamas or a suit. Just a cool little neighborhood hangout. One problem I did have though was that I asked for Vernors and he said they had it, but it wasn't Vernors. It was crappy bar ginger ale... but whatever.

    Great woodwork, really nice bar. Cool light fixtures. Nice vibe around the fireplace. Thought $6 was a little steep for a B52...but then again...I've been out of the bar scene for years ;)

    Breakfast Nachos w/ thinly sliced potatoes, scrambled eggs, peppers, cheese, sour cream and avocado.

    This review is for Inside 3rd - the brunch that occur at Third Street bar. We were there on a Saturday... I'm not 100% positive if it occurs on Sundays as well. But this brunch was FANTASTIC. I ordered the 313 breakfast nachos which are thinly sliced potatoes with chorizo, scrambled eggs, shredded cheese, sour cream and peppers. I added avocado to it as well. I had this with a couple of mimosas and my bill was about $20. The mimosas are $5 a piece and they also had a bloody mary offering that came with a tostitos pizza roll a top it! I found the food to be absolutely delicious. The only complaints several of my friends had were the portions. They did tend to be slightly on the small side and the chorizo was minimal on the breakfast nachos, but overall, it was delicious. I'd definitely recommend this as a brunch spot. Plus, we have a group of 12 or so and they were very accommodating.

    Stopped into TAP at the MGM Grand for a late, light lunch. I wanted to take it easy and "pregame"…read morefor a big dinner later this evening, so a salad felt like the right move. Fair to say the Asian Chicken Salad is good, but not great. It's a massive portion with plenty of Napa cabbage and spinach, providing that much-needed crunch. However, the grilled chicken was a bit of a letdown--it really needed more flavor and seasoning to hold its own. The saving grace and clear highlight were the spiced cashews. They actually had some personality and stood out as the best part of the dish. It's a solid enough choice if you're looking to stay on the healthy side while hanging out in a sports bar, but it's not a "must-order. Plenty of screens for sports viewing, and lots of beers on tap (obviously), staff service was good.

She's in poor health, and in the chaos of leaving home I forgot to bring something to wrap her nighttime medication in. Since TAP has turkey sandwiches on their menu, I explained that I was a hotel guest and asked if they could spare a small piece of turkey - just enough to wrap a pill in for an elderly dog upstairs. A kitchen worker (who was very nice, by the way) offered to check, but the chef refused outright. Not "this is against XYZ policy," not "we're too busy," just a flat no. I was standing right there for the entire exchange. Anyone genuinely suited to a hospitality role would have recognized this as an easy moment to generate some goodwill, but instead, the chef shut it down without a second thought. I spent a lot to stay at the MGM Grand Detroit Hotel, and this interaction left a genuinely negative impression of MGM overall. It made an already difficult day worse. I truly hope the individual who refused this request can one day recognize that hospitality is built on moments exactly like this.

We also tried the fried chicken muffaletta sandwich and burger with tots and crinkle fries. The chicken sandwich is really tasty if you like olives, which I do. It came out on a nice seeded bun freshly fried and hot. Yum. Hubby enjoyed the burger and added bacon - they have really nice thick sliced bacon. It was cooked perfectly with a nice soft bun. I'm pretty sure the fries and tots are just frozen and presented well - at $11 and $12 for those, you might just skip those and get the meatball parm sliders because they're seriously delicious. I plan to return just for those - they're the best thing on the menu. Homemade patties and sauce; top notch. But, the crinkle fries do come with this yummy homemade malted mayo as well as ketchup, and I really enjoyed that. The tots are dusted with a spicy salty seasoning which made them maybe a touch too salty. Both of those came out super hot and crispy though, which I definitely appreciate. Overall, a very tasty meal that had care put into it. The host and server were both very friendly and our service was perfect. It's a little pricey for bar food, but at least it's good bar food, and you can't beat the ambiance for sports. Solid.

    If you want a bar that gives you fun, food, drinks, and a real local crowd vibe all under one roof,…read morethen Second Best in Detroit is absolutely worth the hype. From the second you walk in, it's obvious this place isn't just another bar -- it's a neighborhood hangout with serious personality. The rustic-brick interior and laid-back energy set the tone perfectly for a night out with friends or a chill stop before hitting other downtown spots. The menu is packed with attention-grabbing comfort bar food that goes way beyond typical pub grub -- think flavorful sandwiches, crispy fries, and dishes that pair insanely well with a cold drink. One of the best parts? Wednesday night trivia. It's the kind of event that turns a midweek night into a destination night. Trivia kicks off in the evening and runs until the fun's done, complete with drink specials (like discounted pitchers and fun cocktails) and a crowd that's all about playing hard and laughing harder. Whether you're a regular trivia team or just looking to make new friends, it's a blast and a perfect reason to mark your calendar every week. The drinks lineup here is solid too -- from craft beers on tap to creative cocktails -- and the bartenders know what they're doing whether you're asking for something classic or bold. Honestly, the name might be "Second Best," but this place is easily first in my book for good times, good eats, and good people. If you haven't been yet, trust me -- go get some.
