“ Husband and I were looking for some place different to eat dinner last night. Sick of the same old places and I have wanted to eat here for some time, but it isn't just around the corner from our home. Finally made it here and it was a great decision. Cool atmosphere, interesting items are throughout the establishment, friendly service and delicious food. I had the Chicken and Waffles and hubby had the BBQ Corned Beef with french fries. Not only did the food look delicious, but it was delicious! The beer is reasonably priced too. We will be returning to try the burgers next time. Thank you for a great first impression and dining experience. Highly recommend trying this bar/restaurant. ”
“ It's a smaller kind of elevated dive- bar that happens to be one of the top ten whiskey bars in the country, if not, at least the state. The food is amazing! No matter what I order, I'm always impressed, and I usually order 2 quarts of their beef barley soup to- go at the end.... its that good! ”
“ Great place to go. Had a patty melt and fries, it was delicious, the hamburger they used was very good. The other food we saw coming out of the kitchen looks super good too. Would definitely recommend. ”
“ Whiskey. You couldn't tell by the unassuming exterior, but once you pass through the door and take a gander at the bar you'll be greeted by 1007 varieties (according to their website today)! Inviting interior, great food, amazing selection of libations, and topped off with a staff that's always been friendly. Had the eggs Benedict recently and it was awesome. Waiting for the fried oatmeal to come back... ”
“ Staff was attentive and served quickly, drinks were strong. The whiskey menu here is fantastic, but overwhelming. The food is fine, the onion rings were crispy and the Reuben was perfectly grilled but a little light on sauerkraut for my liking, prices were good for the quality/quantity of food. ”
“ We were looking to watch the 6th game of the 2017 ALCS and it was packed at our favorite watering hole. We searched & Google Girl took us to this new (to us) Whiskey Bar...for Good Food & watch the game...We had an excellently prepared FRESH fish, lightly battered, cooked to perfection Fish & Chips. Our waitress JENN actually changed closest TV to Verlander's (ahem...I mean Astros) game. Here's where it gets WEIRD...there were alot of unaccompanied women there (not that I was interested)...I was there with my wonderful wife...but we both observed that there were at least 2-3 tables of 4-5 women in attendance...with a couple single ladies sprinkled about...that never happened when I still young & single. So, guys if you want to meet an attractive woman who likes Sports, drinks Whiskey and have a great time...this might be your spot. Pics were taken before girls arrived...sorry. Anyway we had a wonderful time...great food & reasonably priced drinks, friendly people, and about 10 TVs to watch a myriad of sporting events; Pistons, Wings, ALCS that I could see. Can't wait to go back & try the Burgers...we have been in search of the exceptional burger...found some good ones...maybe an excellent one or two...see my other reviews. The story of how it got its name is pretty cool too....I would highly recommend it. Please give a if review is helpful - thanks!!! ”
“ Wonderful neighborhood bar great drinks food wasn't extra fancy I like this place cuz it's straight to the point Good burger good drinks good time ”
“ We've come here several times. Sometimes for a burger and a whiskey, sometimes for a sandwich and a beer. All lovely and delicious decisions. But today I ate the best chicken and waffles I've ever had. Best chicken and waffles in the Metro Detroit area for sure. I mean, I'm not any kind of Chicken-N-Waffles-ologist but let me tell you... I've done the math. These were outstanding. Two chicken breasts, perfectly fried, and two of those tasty Belgium waffles with the little sugar crystals in em. Good syrup. Came with soup, too, which was a solid clam chowder. The waitress said it's only been on the menu for three weeks. I hope it stays for a long, long time. ”
