Detroit’s Best Sports Bars to Watch the Lions, Wings, and the College Football Playoffs | Eater Detroit

"This ambitious “clubhouse” bar section is situated in the 14,000-square-foot Kay Baum Building near Grand Circus Park. Occupying the ground floor and a mezzanine level with a rooftop area that faces Woodward, the center of this sprawling space is its 120-square-foot TV wall. The menu is divided into sections: “Behaving” and “Misbehaving,” with game day comforts like burgers, wings, and fries highlighted on one side, and vegan dishes, smoothies, bone broth, and other lighter fare on the other side. On the lower level is Saksey’s, a 1,000-square-foot space that visitors access through a private alleyway entrance, where customers can order table-side mixology service and from a cocktail menu." - Serena Maria Daniels

Detroit’s Best New Bars, Winter 2025 | Eater Detroit

"As part of the pre-NFL Draft business boom, Gilly’s Clubhouse & Rooftop bar opened up in April 2024. The massive 10,000 square foot space might’ve proved a challenge but Dan Gilbert’s team made it work, dedicating the sports bar to the Quicken Loans cofounder’s son Nick, who passed away in May 2023. The sports bar was Nick’s long-held dream, and guests can now share in his love of Spartan basketball and Detroit-inspired drinks, like the Motown Señorita margarita, while watching games on the giant screen with a custom wood-paneled backdrop." - Mickey Lyons

We made a reservation for the roof and we were a little early. The man at the front door wouldn’t let us go in early. Even though when we went to the rooftop it was pretty empty. The host was really nice upstairs! There is Mexican food truck food there only. Completely different menu than downstairs, so be aware of that. Unfortunately I didn’t notice if gratuity was added onto my bill. If it was I was not notified, and I find that to be SUPER DECEIVING AND WILL NOT GO BACK. People need to be notified if gratuity was added. We only had 4 people.

I recently visited Gilly’s in Detroit and, unfortunately, left feeling underwhelmed. While the atmosphere was lively and well-designed—definitely the highlight of the experience—everything else fell short. The food was very average and overpriced for what you get. Most of the dishes felt like something I could have easily made at home for a fraction of the cost. Nothing stood out in terms of flavor, creativity, or presentation. To top it off, there’s an automatic 20% service charge added to the bill, which wasn’t clearly communicated beforehand. For service that was just okay, it felt excessive and left a sour taste at the end of the meal. Gilly’s might be worth checking out for the ambiance, but if you’re looking for great food or value, you’ll want to look elsewhere.

I love this spot downtown for before/after an event! Gilly's is perfect for large groups and families too. We got a few shareables to try and liked everything. The meatballs and the hot honey chicken sliders were our favorites! The ambiance is cool too with giant tv screens all over for a relaxed atmosphere and plenty of seating. Perfect spot to hit up before an event in downtown Detroit.

Service was a little slow at first but our food came out quick and we loved the atmosphere. The bang bang broccoli was amazing, the fries were fantastic. The hot honey chicken sliders were tasty, the pieces of chicken were small (reason for 4 food stars) but I would get again. I look forward to coming back and trying more food.

Manufactured exclusivity at it's finest... TLDR:. If standing in line for imaginary/unneeded reservations makes you feel important, and you like wasting time and being lied to, this is your place. Waste of time. Go elsewhere. Lots of other cool places to check out in Detroit near Woodward Ave. Curious? Here's what happened: Stopped on a Friday... "Reservations only." Ok. No big deal... Stopped Saturday for lunch before the 6pm Tiger's game. . Made a reservation at 2pm for 4pm with the manager on duty *in person* since reservation process was unclear. "No problem I'll take care of it." Great! Engaged the door man on the way out at 3pm (we got one drink at the bar and $24 sliders the size of a meatball) saying we'd be back at 4pm for reservation, "I'll look for you". Cool Showed up at 3:59 for the 4pm reservation. The same door man: "Oh there's one party ahead of you." Ok no big deal... We stood there and waited for 30+ minutes and watched the bouncer tell at least 10 other parties who also made reservations THE EXACT SAME LINE about one party ahead of them. Left at 4:40pm without being admitted - none of the other groups had either - including the imaginary, mysterious, "one group ahead." Bar and grille main floor were not that busy. In hindsight it's obvious this place is just in the practice of not honoring reservation times to stack up a line outside, just to look more popular than they really are. The decor is like any other "mid" metropolitan sports bar with nothing original - other than the fake reservations and wait times. The place feels like it can't decide if its trying to be a sports bar or a cocktail lounge for weddings and prom goers but with 20 big screens... I've come to Detroit 3-4x a year for almost 20 years. This place has the distinction of being one of the least worthwhile places downtown. It wasn't just a mistake or bad communication - the above involved 4 different staff members over 2 days on 3 occasions - it's just how they operate.

Save your money and look elsewhere! Our experience at Gilly’s was incredibly disappointing, especially for what was supposed to be a special celebration. The food was underwhelming across the board, with the wings being particularly bad—overcooked, dry and completely flavorless. We were there celebrating our son’s 31st birthday. My husband and I arrived at 8 PM, and our son joined us at 8:30 PM. We had ordered and started eating before he arrived. However, when we tried to order food for him as soon as he got there, the server informed us that the kitchen, which was supposed to close at 9, had already shut down early because it was a slow night. There was no last call, no warning, and their advertised late-night menu wasn’t even an option. Our son—the guest of honor—didn’t get to eat, and we left feeling incredibly disappointed. This was meant to be a memorable occasion, but instead, it felt like a complete waste of time. At least our server was nice.

We ordered drinks, appetizers and food. The main dish came out first it was cold, ask about the food before the appetizers and drinks, the server said we are like a food truck we bring out food when it come up. Mentioned this to my waitress she spoke to the manager who never came over to say anything. From the bite I had the food may have been good if it was hot. In the end we left Hungary the drinks did come and were good. The waitress did comp the meal and drinks. But we will never be back.

Zack the manager is amazing !!!!!!!! He came to greet me and my wife at the door. We drove in from Chicago for a day of new experiences. This restaurant has a great atmosphere with great customer service and he definitely achieved the goal . AB IS A AWESOME SERVER. She gave the best recommendation on food and I am a happy customer and will be back.

We came here right after the Grand Prix and were able to get a spot right away, which was awesome. I loved the atmosphere this place has such a cool vibe with TVs all around. What really stood out to me was how each floor had its own unique feel. It's not just a restaurant, it's almost like an experience. We ordered the bang bang broccoli, smash burger, and mac and cheese. For drinks, I had the 1984 and Pick Six (not pictured). The 1984 was so delicious very fruity I love it! fThe Pick Six was a little strong for my taste, but I know some other people who would appreciate that. The food overall was great, but the bang bang broccoli was the star of the show. I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did - the sauce, crunch, but softness it was all so good. I'd honestly come back just for that it was unreal. Overall, good food, great service, and such a fun atmosphere. I'd definitely come back and try one of the other floors!

I had a HORRIBLE experience at Gilly's Clubhouse in Detroit... I can't believe the way that place is being managed.. or lack of management?? I had rooftop reservations made over a week prior, I come to the restaurant 15 minutes early with my party and was told by the hostess to wait as she went to check on my table.. she came back and says nothing to me as we awkwardly stand there for another 10 minutes. Finally someone comes down to get us and warns in the elevator that they're "soo busy we have to sit at the bar" it was a party of 3.. I asked how long it would be for a table and the man said "wayyyyy too long for a table" when the elevator opened up we saw 6+ empty tables.. the experience hasn't even started and the service is horrendous. We are seated at the bar and our bartender is basically drunk by her mannerisms. I asked her why it's "soo busy" tonight and she looked around and said "it's actually not busy at all tn" we continued with our drink/food orders. As the bartender was making the drinks I asked her about one of the ingredients she was using and she said "oh I'm glad you asked because I wasn't even supposed to use this syrup for this drink" and then proceeds to get the correct ingredients to make one of the worst tasting cocktails I've had in Detroit (mucho mango cocktail?) not sure... We ordered the queso with the flambé and she had no idea what she was doing.. poured out like a teaspoon of of the shot of alcohol designated for the flambé and proceeded to light the cheese with a small torch blaming the "wind" for it not staying on fire... she even felt how awkward that moment was and didn't end up charging the extra $5 for flambé. I am always in Detroit with friends and family, visiting new restaurants- seeing what new developments are being made- and supporting the city's growth. I can say with certainty Gilly's as an establishment will never be recommended to anyone I know for the simple fact that it is an embarrassment to experience that level of neglect at an establishment while you're out with family and friends. The queso was chunky because the cheese wasn't at the right temperature. The chips were too oily. The steak tacos were too chewy, and unfortunately our drinks tasted horrid and didn't even have a chance to ask for water because the waitress was busy dropping/breaking glasses behind the bar.

Ok, we stopped for a drink after a ballgame. The place was empty but filled up fast. Nice place, excellent deco, plenty of tvs and has a decent tap. I look forward to giving it a deeper dive in the not too distant future.

Had reservation for the clubhouse but intended the reservation for the terrace. We were able to sit at the bar due to it being busy. The bartender was amazing and the drinks were good. I had a strawberry margarita

I came to Gilly's right when it opened and this is such a must needed spot in Downtown Detroit! There are huge screens everywhere and it is the perfect spot to watch any game. The decor is modern and an ode to Detroit sports all at the same time. The staff was extremely friendly as they have also been getting to know the menu. The burger was pretty good, with a great sauce and a nice crunch. The fries could be a little crispier, but I've heard they've gotten much better! Even if you just need a place to watch a game with some beers (or fun cocktails, or smoothies or coffee) honestly they have a large menu! Gilly's is on your list!!

We gathered at Gilly's to kick back talk and I can't say it was the greatest experience but it wasn't bad either. Initially we could tell that a few staff members were kind of irritated about the various requests that we made: moving our table, asking for more seats, and then eventually moving upstairs...as we had a larger crowd than anticipated. What was dope, was that downstairs you have the sports bar type feel but when you go to the rooftop, it was on your Mexican type vibe. However, you can't order what they have downstairs, on the rooftop. They did make exceptions for us as we placed our order without knowing that bit of information...but we did still order more food on the rooftop. The food was pretty good. I totally forgot to take photos because we were too busy talking but the bang bang broccoli was fire, truffled fries were a hit. While on the rooftop, we ordered the nachos which were good, it was a huge plate. Very shocking... but we ended up having a good time.

We were lucky enough to sit on the rooftop of Gilly's where we had a great waitress. The taco and tequila idea is so cute. The rooftop is decorated to match the theme and it's adorable. We had a large party and ordered tons of drinks. Everyone seemed to enjoy the different kinds of margaritas. We also ordered chips and salsa / guac. They give you a TON of chips, but could give a little bit more of the dips to even it out. We had a lot of chips left over once we were through with the dips. We also ordered tacos. The prices are very reasonable. My favorite was the braised short rib taco. Overall great experience! I'll be back! Side note: The food menu does not quite make sense and definitely needs to be reworked. They have an area where tacos are listed for anywhere from $12-$33 for three tacos... but then there's another section that says you can mix and match any tacos you want on the menu for $12. Definitely does not add up.

Have been here a couple times but was very unimpressed this time. We got rooftop reservations and they still had us wait a few mins, only to get up there and see that there's mostly open tables. I'm not sure what the wait/the line is for outside. No need to create the impression of a full club when it's 4 o clock in the afternoon - people are just trying to watch sports and have a couple of drinks. Hopefully it improves, seems to have lost a lot of buzz since they opened

Sunday brunch.. Good vibes.. Great service... My server Naria was really good and nice. Buffalo chicken quesadillas was really good, big portions, I had an order of truffle fries which was good as well with a lot of flavor. This was my first time here and I loved it.. Plenty of TV's to watch the games. Really good spot, looking forward to coming back and dining.

This spot is pretty good if you're looking for tacos. We didn't realize that if you make a reservation for the rooftop that they only serve tacos. The service was pretty good. But the menu lacked variety. Afterward we went downstairs and sat at the bar for a drink. The drinks were good and the bartenders were amazing. Next time I will be trying the food in the restaurant instead of the rooftop. This spot also has a chill vibe. I'll definitely be back

Such nice staff! I can't say enough good things- smiling hostess, manager who took us to our table was really kind, and the staff bussing tables were checking in on us too. We will be back just because of these interactions. My fiance and I made a last minute reservations and were seated upstairs on their mezzanine level which looks down on the first floor- really cool set up with tons of TVs everywhere. We got a great table even though no one was seated up there. After we were seated, we waited a few minutes before being greeted by the manager who took our drink order. It didn't take a very long time before we got our drinks but a bartender showed up and gave us an extra beer because they thought we had waited too long. So nice! Will be back to try their food menu for sure!

Service at the bar was excellent. Great location with some outdoor seating. The place was packed on a Sunday! We only got drinks, I enjoyed the Boston Garden of Eden and my hubby got a beer. This sports bar seems like a great spot to watch some games, enjoy the atmosphere and I can't wait for the rooftop to open (May 5th). Fun times in Detroit, it's a great addition.

I wish I could've given this place 5 stars. I went to the rooftop and it was super cute. We sat outside. The drinks were alright, but not worth the price. Same with the chips and guac. What was really disappointing was the service. It took 25 minutes to get our first drink, so I immediately ordered a second when I finally got it because of how long it took. Once I got the second drink, the waitress never came back. And I mean literally just did not come back. We sat there for 45 minutes wondering if she was ever going to take our actual food order. I had to go inside and ask the bartender to cash me out. It sucks that such a cute spot was ruined by terrible service. Unfortunately I won't be back. And will be warning people to stay away. This is why I never go out to eat. Sad.

A few months ago I had a negative experience at Gilly's. I am happy to say that this experience was much better. A few friends and I made a reservation to get drinks before the Lions preseason game. We were seated in a great booth and really enjoyed the atmosphere. They were decorated for the Lions game and the bar was lively, full of Lions fans. The service was great and we all enjoyed our time at Gilly's!

Really enjoyed my experience here. The atmosphere is awesome especially for enjoying a big sporting event. The food is good too. I especially like the tempura broccolini, the mac and cheese, and the wings. The smashburger and bbq chicken quesadilla were good too. My server was good too and helped when trying to figure out what to order.

Decided to check this place out on lions game day and that atmosphere was amazing. With a huge tv screen above the bar and many others around the restaurant you will not miss any parts of the game from wherever you sit. The server was a bit slow cashing us out- but this was expected with how busy the restaurant was. The food was amazing and so were the drinks. I will definitely be back!

Gilly's Clubhouse and Rooftop impressed on all fronts! The Flaming Hot Chicken Sandwich and Chopped "M" Salad were hot, fresh, and flavorful.

Great place to watch sports and they have arcade games!

Went to Gilly's on a Friday afternoon. Very nice inside and a cool vibe. Service started off nice but when another table was sat next to us, we were attended to as much. The food was a 6/10. Standard nachos. My cousin got the sandwich which ended up being cold and having things on it she didn't like that wasn't stated on the menu so she got the bbq chicken quesadilla which was good but nothing spectacular. The drink we got, drop it like it's hot, was pretty good. No complaints there. I'd go back for drinks and the vibe.

Had a reservation at 5:30, confirmed 4 times in the past 48 hours, arrived at 5:25 to wait 10 minutes to check in for our reservation. Once we checked in had to wait again for a table with no estimated wait time. We understand that it is a very busy night however the process needs to be improved upon or the communication needs to be more transparent up front regarding what your actual experience is going to be. Very disappointing in general. The staff is trying their best again, needs to be communicated up front especially with the amount of communication expected pre-arrival from the guest.

I am rooting for the success of this place! I stopped in for the first time as it just opened a month ago and I was totally impressed! Friendly service, staff and great food! There is a full bar as well! Nice open atmosphere with a giant tv! Gilly's also has a rooftop bar area and is open at certain times of the week with certain hrs! Will definitely check out the rooftop and come to Gilly's again! This is a great place to come before a sporting event or any event in the D!

Oh boy this place might be good in a few months but they are definitely in the middle of growing pains. The atmosphere is super fun and has an open feel, something I think is good for Detroit. But... we waited 25 minutes for drinks, got 2 wrong drinks (which they did correct), ordered 2 appetizers and only got 1, and the appetizer we did get (the Mac n cheese) they brought out after our main food. One of my biggest pet peeves though was that we ordered 3 smash burgers and only 2 came out after an hour, the fourth didn't come out until 20 minutes after the other 2. I didn't even get a picture of the 3rd burger (which was mine) because I was so hungry and just wanted to eat. The smash burger and Mac n cheese was really good! But do not get the build your own bowl! It's small, doesn't have a lot of food or protein, and smells kind of weird. When we got the bill, that was also wrong and took them 10 minutes to correct. They also didn't mention that 20% gratuity was added to the bill, so be on the lookout for that. Michelle was very nice though! She apologized for the overall experience. I'm hoping this place gets their act together because it has a lot of potential.

I really want to love this place because the vibe is chic but the service is lacking. We arrived early and sat at the bar and grabbed a quick drink. The bartender was not friendly at all. They were quick with our drinks. We got sat for our reservation and quickly ordered more drinks and appetizers which came out fast! The bang bang broccoli was a hit. We then ordered dinner. We chatted, enjoyed the decorations and waited. And waited. An hour went by. The waitress grabbed the manager who quickly comped a round for us. That goes a long way for people and we understood a new restaurant needs to work the kinks out. Our food came out about 10-15 after that and it was wrong! I had the salmon bowl and I got two of my 3 toppings without the sauce. Same with our other entree. Nachos were bar food nachos and the smash burger was awesome! Hopefully they can get things moving soon. It's a cool place.

We came here just for drinks on their first weekend open. The hostess, manager, and other staff were very friendly and welcoming! We ordered cocktails off their menu and the bartender took a really long time to make them (it seemed like he was still learning how) but they turned out pretty good, maybe a little on the sweet side but had a good flavor. The ambiance was amazing, the decor was nice and they had a lot of tvs to watch sports. Can't wait to come back and check out the rooftop and basement when they open!

Great place to watch a game or pregame before an event downtown. Plenty of nice, comfortable seating with great service. We ordered the Bang Bang Broccoli, Smashburger, Loaded Nachos, Nicky's Meatballs, Gilly's Mac and Cheese, and BBQ Chicken Quesadilla. No one in our party of 6 liked the chicken sandwich - we expected crispy chicken breast, not pulled chicken, and the flavors were off. But everything else was amazing. Will be back!

I really wish I could give this restaurant five stars . Yes for there early and seated on time no issues . Took 15 mins to take our drink and food order. Go there craving chicken sliders and found our special menu for game day. Everything was about $15-$25 dollars and barely feeds 2 people. Ambiance would give 5 stars . I suffer from same condition Nick Gilbert had, why I really wanted to love this place. Maybe we will try it again . We only ordered 2 beers and bill came to $92.

We decided to try this place out when we visited Detroit and I could not be happier with my choice. The vibe was super laid-back but definitely a lot of fun. The food was hands-down some of the best upscale bar food I've ever had. It's all your normal sports bar kind of food, but definitely elevated and full of so much flavor. Highly recommend this place

Dont waste your time visiting Gillys! We had a reservation at 5pm, that I confirmed 3 times within 48 hours of the reversation. Upon arrival to the restaurant there was a line out the door called the "reservation line". No one asked my name, how many people were in the party and what time our reservation was. We finally made it inside, to another line, after waiting outside 30 mins past our reservation time. Our table was not ready until 6:30pm when our original reservation was at 5pm

I visited Gilly's Rooftop Bar in Detroit expecting a chill night out, but instead, I got interrogated like I crashed a private party. After being seated by a staff member--without a reservation, mind you--I ordered a drink and two tacos. Suddenly, a waiter and the manager, Zach, started grilling me about who sat me and why I was there, despite five or more tables sitting empty. The vibe turned hostile fast, with them demanding I leave within 30 minutes, then an hour, for no clear reason. It felt like they profiled me for looking young, especially after checking my ID three times despite the bouncer's check. No signs indicated I needed to wait for a host, and the staff's lack of training was glaring. I stayed calm, offered to take my food to go at a discount, but their relentless haggling made me uncomfortable enough to leave. When Zach escorted me out, it felt like a security guard was hauling me off for a fake ID, with people staring and wondering what I did wrong--utterly humiliating. Zach comped my food and a drink, but that didn't erase the unprofessional treatment or the awkward interrogation of the hostess in front of me. With so many open tables, this was a shameful way to treat a customer. Train your staff better or put up a sign--don't make guests feel like intruders.

Stopped in on a Saturday night after a show at the Fox. it was our first time and we were excited to check it out. The place was crowded because March Madness was going on, but we were able to share a table in the bar area with some other guests that were also looking for seats. We ordered two drinks as soon as we sat down, and they were both delicious. We ordered two items from the "late night" menu, wings and truffle fries, which came out of the kitchen quickly and were both very good. But this is where the experience goes south. After the first drink, the server never came back to ask if we wanted another. Didn't even fill the waters that she brought us to start. I was probably without any type of beverage for at least 30 minutes, and my table was literally right next to the bar. To add insult to injury, the server added an automatic 20% tip (on a table of two people) so I guess what would be her motivation for actually providing any "service" if she automatically gets a tip? I found this completely presumptuous, and somewhat insulting, because I consider myself to be a very good tipper, almost always above the standard 20%. The business itself probably missed out on 3-4 more cocktails (at $13-15 a piece) because no one bothered to ask us if we wanted another. The vibe, the food, the atmosphere, and the single cocktail that we were served were all very good. It may be a while before we go back because the service left a lot to be desired, which is super unfortunate.

What's not to like? - it's their motto They can't play the pistons game. Seems weird to be a sports bar in Detroit and being told they can't put the pistons on but have Miami heat game on?? Questionable for sure

I was in town for work for 2 weeks and found this sports bar as soon as I arrived. It's absolutely amazing! Very high end, up scale, sports bar Zachary is one of the managers and he made my experience SO awesome! Rocko is also amazing! I was wanting to watch TEXAS A&M v LSU the same night M Stats with playing UM. Of course, everyone wanted to watch that game, and even the World Series was on. They gave me ONE tv. Zach really made it happen. I was there for 2.5 hours prior to the game praying to God I'd be able to watch this Aggies BTHO LSU! It was such a great night. I never got to eat anything except some of the nachos my friends ordered, but it was good:) It was veryyyy busy for college game night, but, I went back for Thursday night football, also Halloween evening, and it was packed at all. It is very clean!! If you're in Detroit, make sure to check out this place :)

Ambiance Food Service First time here. It was a beautiful Sunday and we decided to sit outside. Had a couple of drinks and the Double Play (chips, salsa, and guac) out on the patio. Our waitress, Kimberly, was amazing!! Her customer service was on point from the moment we sat down. After ordering our lunch we asked if we could eat inside as it got a little too warm. Kimberly didn't flinch and immediately welcomed us in. She was just as attentive to us as she was before we got two tables that she had to clear. I had the Burrata Salad and the bf had BBQ vegetable quesadillas. Yup you read that right. On the menu it's chicken but they didn't mind switching that up for him. Everything we had was great! We will definitely be back. This time for dinner so we could sit rooftop.

Came down on a sunny Tuesday afternoon on the way to a baseball game. Sav Blanc was good, $15 for 5 naked wings (they were good, not great). Seems to be a liver after work crowd, but no happy hour specials? Maybe the Quicken Cult gave their own hookup. Overall, nice experience - new construction looks and smells good. One piece of advice: GET JAPANESE WHISKY!

Cute space, rooftop isn't open on Wednesday so I didn't get a chance to check it out so hung out on lower level. It's a sports bar and definitely seems like the place to be to watch the various games going on throughout the year. They had their patio open far a good indoor/outdoor vibe. Spacious with plenty of seating. I ordered the days of thunder cocktail and the ahi tuna nachos. Nachos were delicious and the chips extra crispy but they were super stingy with the tuna, I think I had about four cubes for the whole nacho plate. The days of thunder was good, my girl said it had a bitter aftertaste to her which I think was probably the aperol but I enjoyed it. My girl ordered a strawberry margarita which she said was really god and the chicken nachos. Those were bomb!! Lots of cheese and toppings. 2nd round I got the Pom Pom martini, this was soooo good! Strong, fruity and delicious, my perfect trifecta. Not to sweet, I think the pomegranate really shone in this drink and would definitely order again. The staff were so friendly and gave great recommendations on the dishes we would like. I think Gilleys will def be my game night spot!

I have been so excited to check this place out! Stopped in last night with some friends for game 7. As approaching we noticed that it was roped off as if there was a private event inside. The man at the door said "there's a lot of people in there, very busy". Coming from the industry myself, I took a look and no one was standing around the bar, definitely did not look crazy. So I said can we go in? And they said no. Okay.. so I pointed out 2 open tables and 3 open seats at the bar. They looked and said "oh okay I guess ya you can go in". We get in, sit at a table and gave it about 7 minutes or so and not a server in sight. Well, we saw one and she looked at us and kept walking. Finally we walked up to the bar and got our drinks. Bartender was nice enough to bring them to the table and even said hey let me clear off some spots & come sit with me. (He was great). Also I don't recommend sitting at the bar if you're trying to watch whatever is on tv. Our group this morning have been complaining about our necks and we swear it's from looking all the way up since the TVs are so close to the bar seats.

Nice place and nice atmosphere. Very limited menu. Will come back on a late night or weekend, when it will surely be livelier.

After sitting at a table for 30 minutes with no greeting from a server we got up and left. Wildly disappointing. Everything online about it and the décor was incredible, but the service was a no show.

This place is incredible. It's nice to have an upscale sports bar in the heart of downtown without the ridiculous prices. The food is amazing. And Rocco our bartender was outstanding. This man knows how to make a cocktail and has implacable customer service. I cant wait to come back for the draft.

It was a nice place. Nice set up and ambiance. Sorry to say but the staff was thin and it took 45 minutes to get a drink. We tried to order food but everything we asked for they were out of. We went to another restaurant around the corner.
