    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.

    I stayed at the MGM Grand Detroit last night after being displaced by a multi‑day power outage, and…read moreI had my 16‑year‑old dog with me. 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.

    Dear reader, We…read morestopped into Parlay Detroit after the baseball game and to escape the rain, and it turned out to be a very solid move. The place has plenty of TVs, which made it easy to keep watching games and keep the sports-bar spirit alive a bit longer. The staff was pleasant and friendly, and everything felt easygoing in a way that suited the evening nicely. We got a few pitchers of beer at a great price, which certainly helped morale, and the French fries were an excellent bar bite option. From what others seem to enjoy as well, Parlay does a good job delivering that lively downtown game-day atmosphere without losing the simple pleasures of drinks, solid snacks, and a comfortable place to land. Overall, good postgame stop.

    Wow... what a BEAUTIFUL restaurant. At first glance, as I…read morearrived at valet, I was genuinely proud to see this Black-owned brick-and-mortar in person for the first time. Unfortunately, I did not anticipate that it would also be the last. The valet attendant was attentive and professional, and the host staff greeted me as I walked in. So far, so good! The bar wasn't busy, but I figured it was still kind of early and things could liven up. I was meeting friends for a birthday toast, and they were already seated at the bar. When I approached, we were very excited to see one another, so naturally, we took a moment to catch up. I noticed there was one bartender in the service well who was busy making drinks and therefore understandably unable to greet me. There was another bartender conversing with patrons standing next to my barstool and another bartender on the far end. Now, as someone with a background in food & beverage, I naturally exercise patience in casual dining atmospheres because service can be a little laxed--which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'm not expecting the bartender to teleport across the room because I walked in. However, in this case, after greeting my friends, we wanted to do a round of shots in honor of the birthday girl. After several minutes, we still had not been approached by a bartender. Not to mention, the bartender conversing just to my right was STILL carrying on with the same gentlemen patrons. After a continued wait, the birthday girl decided to flag down the bartender, who acknowledged us with eye contact... ...and then continued her conversation. Ma'am. That was very unprofessional, but we were in such great spirits that we decided to overlook it and try to get the attention of a different bartender. Now, hindsight being 20/20, we should've left right then. This same bartender, standing not even 3 feet away from us, eventually finished her conversation and walked away. She actually ended up standing at the service well in plain sight of us, where she then pulled out her cellphone to devote some obviously much-needed quality screen time. We were in utter shock. Within a few moments, the bartender originally on the far end of the bar had made her way to our side to take a new set of patrons' order who had just appeared to my right. Once again, the birthday girl calls out and asks if it would be possible for her to assist us when she was done. To our dismay, the lady looks at us with absolutely ZERO emotion and simply states, "Yea." Not exactly the response we expected, but hey... it's Detroit. We are natives, although I no longer live locally, so we know customer service isn't necessarily the city's strongest suit. ‍ After Ms. Dead Emotions prepared drinks for the new set of patrons, she followed suit with the previous bartender and walked over to the service well for some R&R with Screen Time Girl. And THAT was the moment we realized these bartenders did not come to work... They came to clock in. At this point, I decided to ask for a manager. The nice woman I approached asked me what it was regarding, and I explained what we had experienced and told her it was disappointing, to say the least. She seemed rational and understanding and offered to send a waitress to the bar to serve us. I thanked her and went back to my seat. It was obvious that the bartenders had been made aware of my grievances because their demeanors and facial expressions suddenly had a LOT to say. At that point, we realized training, support, and customer service may be an unrecognized area of opportunity by upper management. The server was busy with tables but eventually made her way over. She seemed very nice. However, by that point, we had decided we would leave. As we sat there conversing about this unbelievable experience and discussing other bars we could go to instead, a few patrons walked up to our side of the bar to introduce themselves and ask about our plans and whether we would stick around to have a drink with them. When we informed them we were leaving, they asked why. We gave them the short version as we prepared to leave. Sadly, they weren't surprised--but they offered AGAIN to make it right. Imagine customers offering to make it right. ‍ Just before leaving, one of our group stepped away to the restroom. At that point, Screen Time finally walked up and, exasperatedly, asked if we wanted anything. IKYFL. The birthday girl, who is sweet-natured, was understandably disappointed, so I decided, you know what? We'll take a shot for the road. A simple Don Julio Repo shot took longer than it should have... ...but the bill came IMMEDIATELY. And, of course, an automatic 20% gratuity was the cherry on top. At this point, all I could do was laugh. Beautiful restaurant. Great first impression. Unfortunately, the actual experience was a completely different story. WE WILL NOT BE BACK.

    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.
