Locker Room Saloon

The Locker Room Saloon will always hold a special place in our hearts—my husband and I actually met here back in 2018, and we’ve been locals ever since! We love coming here for a fun night out. The atmosphere is incredible—you can even stand on the bar stools and drum with drumsticks, which is such a blast. The drinks are great, the staff is always fun, and the music makes it the perfect party spot. Fargus, the DJ, is awesome—he always takes requests and keeps the vibe going with the best music. A huge shoutout to Liz and her husband, the owners, who are so accommodating and truly make us feel like family every time we walk in. This is one of our absolute favorite local spots, and we highly recommend it if you’re looking for a lively, fun night out!

First time and horrible experience. Bouncer was incredibly rude (also why is there a cover for a dive bar in Utica??), DJ said he only takes song requests for $10, my cousin was charged $150 for a singular BJ shot. Absolutely would not recommend.

Stopped here after a baseball game for a drink. They had karaoke. Younger crowd. Fun though. Each ceiling tile is painted up with different things so that's fun. Staff was friendly. Nice size outdoor area. Appetizers were good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go there but if you're in the area.

Came for my girlfriend’s 30th birthday. Server offered us a shot for it and ended up charging us for the offered shot. We had 3 drinks total and our tab rang up at $75 due to the deception. This was our test drive of coming to this bar for us bringing our large friend group to check it out and they failed miserably. Avoid at all costs.

When we entered the bar, the atmosphere was great people were standing on bar stools using the drum sticks provided by the bar to play along with the music. Then we went up to the bar and got a drink which ended up being $18 for one drink which was moderately expensive in itself but, understandable for a bar. Then when at the table the bar security asked me to put a shirt on. This was completely confusing to me as I was wearing just a sleeveless shirt, not a cut off but a regular sleeveless shirt. The bar staff then asked me if they let me in like that, which I responded that yes they had which he was both angry and dumbfounded by. I then asked a passing bar staff if my shirt was fine which she then said that they aren’t supposed to allow men to have a sleeveless shirts in the establishment. She then began to investigate my friend as she was wearing glasses, touching her face unprompted. All in all, the experience was not one I wish to repeat and I would not recommend going to this establishment.

what an awesome place to go and have a good time!!!! the owners and staff go out of their way to make sure that you have a good time. The food is amazing as well. what a great place to visit.

The bar itself is already phenomenal and the staff is amazing, especially Tamia, Tamia is always so nice she was even nice at the door you can tell she really enjoys what she does and cares deeply about the customers! So if you’re looking for a great time on a regular or weekend day, this is the place for you!

Unlike any bar I have ever been to. Had an absolute blast, especially when the “sticks” come out. Bartender Shala was awesome and DJ was very entertaining.

Sooo much fun! I went for my 26th birthday and we had an awesome time. We went on a Saturday night; arrived around 8 to get a table for a large group and it got busier around 9:30/10pm. The crowd was mostly younger but there were groups of older people having fun too. Our server, Kelsey, frequented our table and never missed a beat! Everything was great and we will for sure be back. Highly recommend you go for a fun night!

The food and drinks are amazing. The vibe is chill and the service was on point. Friendly atmosphere and ok food! Great pours on drinks!

I order three shots one for my boyfriend and one for a random birthday girl at the bar that was wearing a birthday stash. The bartender yelled at me and told me that's to many shots acting as if I am blacked out drunk. Again two of the shots were for other people that were there to show there ID's. She had the bouncer kick us out... first time in my life being kicked out of a bar and honestly the only reason why I am writing this is because I can't believe the customer service I received there. Never in my life have I been kicked out of a bar especially being sober.... hopefully they get some management in there... I asked multiple times to talk to somebody in management but was not allowed to. I don't think a bar should be operated without management... Side notes this was all happening as people were dancing on top of tables... wish I could rate zero stars

Service is unbelievably bad. You literally have to break up servers talking to get a drink or a menu.

The vibes here are super fun, and the food is yummy. The bouncer Fruity always makes me feel super safe which is always a plus when I'm out!

I highly recommend this place. Great dive bar, with food that is not typical bar food. Delicious!! The owners are awesome and care about their staff and guests. Laura C

This is the funnest bar to go to! The music, atmosphere and food is amazing. The owners always make sure all their costumers are happy, they are the best!

Came for my nieces 21st bday. Got there at 7, on a Saturday. It was dead empty. Asked if we could take a pic of my niece in the chair. Nope, not allowed. Asked the DJ to say happy 21st to my niece, nope, not allowed. Worst bar ever! The bartenders were mean, waitresses, just as bad. Security guy...a joke. Oh and the best part...80 year old grandparents stood at the entrance WAITING (no joke, stood there for at least 10 minutes) for "security" to clear them before they could enter. EIGHTY YEAR OLD GRANDPARENTS. We were a party of at least 20, 3 of us went to the bar and ordered shots, sat there (at the bar) and chatted waiting for the shots. Shots got there, we took them and immediately we were told to go back to our table. We were not allowed to sit at the bar (even though WE WERE ORDERING DRINKS).. Everything about this place was awful except for the young man that cleared bottles and our waiter. I have so much more to say...this review could go on forever..

Love coming here, Vinny's the best and always brings us water, 10/10 service love him

Little fat security guards take their job way to seriously for the $12 hour they make

rudest bartenders i've ever encountered. I met some friends and went to order a drink and was told to "bring my ass back to my table" even though i've never met the waitress serving that table in over an hour. only wanted to order one drink. very rude and unprofessional refusing my order. the bartender had a sticker on saying "hot stuff" she needs a talking to on how to respect paying customers. will never return and hope she can improve in the future.

Hot Stuff made sure my friends and I had a great time. She's the best and we love this bar. Good food good drinks and good vibes

Always have a great time, good drinks and nice ambiance, hotstuff is an amazing bartender and dj

The locker room is a great place to be. Good service, good drinks, always a party, plus my man Fruity on the door!

vinny and cam are so amazing 10/10 service will be here again just bc of them. drink amazing fast service and super funny

They scan your drivers license information into the cloud. And $5 miller lite 12 ounce bottle. No thanks, i wont be back.

The locker room is a great place to be at if you wanna let loose , go a little crazy, and overall just have a great time with friends! The staff is amazing!!!they really put so much hard work & effort ensuring everyone has the time of their lives!! One of my favorites is Hot Stuff she knows how to get the crowd going while giving exceptional service!!! I love that place & definitely recommend!!

Before I start, I want to preface this is now the third time this has happened to us. This bar has a pattern of reserving every table in the place, and still charging a cover to get in knowing full well there are no tables available. As this has happened twice before, we decided to call to try to reserve a table ourselves. We were told that they do not reserve tables after 9 (a lie) and that we would have no trouble getting a table tonight (another lie). We walked in at 10pm and sure enough every table had a reserved sign on it. I know this because I walked around to every table to check. Luckily, a nice couple allowed us to take one of their tables they were no longer using. I also want to note that this bar does table service. In fact, the table service is a big part of their theme. I can understand the place is busy, but a waiter or waitress never once approached our table the whole time we were there, about 2 hours. Seriously never going back to this place again.

Visited this place 8/26/23 noticed I was overcharged asked for a copy of my receipt this is what the owner sent! Then accused me or someone in my party of doing this! Why would I leave a 40 dollar tip on a 67 dollar bill

Service was pretty good. I do feel like we were being slightly pressured to order more drinks. I understand it's bar and all but not everyone one wants to have drinks on drinks. One drink as a night cap and some food and my husband and I were all set. I am a little weary about the way you pay. I wish they were create a way that people can pay by scanning a code or with a machine at the table. Overall though, it was pretty good. Would comeback if we were in the area again.

Fun place! My friends and I have been coming here since college. It is still a fun place to go. I (and several other friends) celebrated our 40th birthdays there.

Patricia has been my waitress every time I've came to this spot! Her timing is on point & service is spectacular! The food is 10/10 here! Definitely coming back! The atmosphere is so fun & positive!

Such a fun place!!!! I always enjoy myself when I come(: we love u HOT STUFF!!!!!!!!!(the bartender)

I absolutely love the locker room and love having pdaddy as my bartender! She always make the experience so much better! Highly recommend 10/10

Had a blast there last night! P Daddy was awesome! DJ and music was rocking! Crowd was fun. The sticks and being able to dance on the bar stools was so unique and took our experience over the top. Would definitely go back!

When the legend is being told and the gods tell their stories, all of them will mention the raucous times they spent at LRS. As I read the bad reviews it seems like the common theme is a bunch of librarians who don't know how to have an ounce of fun. If you decide to partake in the good times make sure you ask for P-Daddy. She is more than a bartender; she is a tour guide of wildly good times on the road of fun. If you're not a prude get your butt down here for 7 or so Busch lights, relax, and have the time of your life.

Always have a great experience here! Would highly recommend. Very fun on weekends, quieter with great food during the week!

Hot Stuff makes the best drinks! We had so much fun. This place is amazing.

One of a kind bar with amazingly talented bartenders. No better place to go to celebrate a birthday or bachelorette party etc.

THE LOCKER ROOM! Overalll very fun place to meet people and dance. The dj is the only complaint I have, he won't play ur songs unless you give him money. Trish u rock Juice you tooo

Was just there from a party bus, they kicked us out after 4 of our group was dancing for being too intoxicated we only order 4 shots and 15 bud lights.. apparently we were too intoxicated and I group was making the bartenders uneasy. Our group consisted of half girls half guys. The owner tried to tell me that I was too intoxicated when I am the sober one tonight... I do not recommend this place. Close down please or get a new owner who isn't sensitive and bouncers that aren't racist towards white individuals. Thank you! Also there's not a way to give zero stars sadly

I love this place!! The service is great ... the DJ is a different story. He's so rude. It was my birthday and my parents engagement and he refused to play any song requests. Continued to play country music and SONG ALONG TO IT with a horrid voice. You guys DESPERATELY need a new dj. He's outdated and awful. at the very least have him update the playlist. Literally so bad. Gives me second hand embarrassment: he's awful, cannot reiterate this enough.

DO NOT COME HERE. The only reason I'm giving 1 Star is because Yelp won't let me post one without it. Not only did they not reserve the tables we called ahead for, they wanted the charge the entire bachelorette party a cover to get in, which I've never had to do here (as they just hugged 2 girls walking in and didn't make them pay). When we finally decide we will all pay it, we're told we cannot come in because of "attitudes" and we're "too intoxicated", which I know was a lie. They lost out on 23 girls business and those 23 girls are telling everyone they know about this place and how they treated us on our friends night. What kind of bar doesn't let in 23 girls for a bachelorette party? Oh, yes, the run down locker room does.

Ohhhh Locker Room.... We lived there on Wednesdays 20 or so years ago... Religiously after every shift at Beaumont Hospital we came in droves for your beer and pizza.....Thursday mornings were a quiet place at the Beau... Alas....and end to an era. We stopped in for one last hoorah yesterday, we visited friends, celebrated new beginnings, said goodbye to old ghosts... Who knows what will become of this old favorite spot, but our memories will last a lifetime... Bittersweet

I tried calling about my purse that I left there and every time I call someone picks the phone up and hangs it up immediately. Why have a phone number if you aren't allowed to call?

They have great food and drink specials earlier in the day. The pizza is delicious and the beer is always cold. This place is way wild at night though, so unless you are trying to get hammered, maybe go before dark.

My boyfriend and I came in here on a Wednesday night and I was pleasantly surprised how many people were there. My boyfriend and I got the three beers and a pizza for $6, the bartender was very good with keeping up and making sure we were okay. The pizza was also surprisingly really good, the atmosphere was nice, and the music was cool, not normal stuff you hear on the radio any more early 2000's such as early green day, blink 182, And sum 41. I would absolutely go back on a weekend

My friend was denied entry last night because the bouncer and manager were too uncultured and ignorant to understand that when people learn English as a secondary language they have an ACCENT. Apparently, drunk slurs sound exactly like an accent-you people make me SICK. I get you never went to college (obviously by your choice of career), but maybe you should work on some type of an education that exposes you to other cultures/languages-because by the way, those exist. Enjoy your sad dead end job-maybe someone higher up can get you a sensitivity training. I wasn't going to post this on yelp, but the staff decided to be unprofessional yet again and argue with my post on their Facebook page. This is a sad place-go to school. Get an education, get a real job and obtain some very well needed cultural education. You're in some obvious need of it. Avoid this place at all cost-don't waste your time.

DO NOT GO HERE!! The bouncer is rude as heck and has a power complex. Ive never met a ruder person in my life. Ruined a perfectly good birthday party with friends! Honestly they have the right to refuse service, but give a good reason...

I had lots of fun on glow night for my first time here. Our server seemed over seated for his first night and a couple of our drinks came wrong probably due to that but he was trying his best! Shout out to Rookie (forgot your real name lol) lots of fun. probably coming back soon!

Today was our first time here. The 1/3rd lb burgers were excellent. Fresh meat not frozen. Great shoestring seasoned fries and Cheese sticks. Had 6 drinks for the two of us and bill came in under $25.00 with tip. The place was really busy and service was a bit slow at the beginning, when they saw they were being slammed on a Thursday night, they called in some help and around 7 the service problems was solved. Best Burger I have had in a long time - Well worth the time. We will definitely be back,

Overall, my experience here could be summed up by saying that the bartenders expect you to be loud and have fun, but only on their terms and only if they remain the center of your attention. My friends and I went to Locker Room because we knew people wouldn't be offended or annoyed if we were loud and celebrating our friend's bachelorette party. However, when the bartenders figured out that we were more entertaining than they were, we were told to leave. The Redwings were playing in one of the last games of the series the night that we were there. One of the bartenders got a bunch of us up on the bar and we started chanting "Redwings!". He was trying to get us to switch and chant "JD's bar" (I guess he was JD?). When we continued to chant Redwings, and then switched to the Bride-To-Be's name, but wouldn't chant his name, he reached up to the TV behind him and turned the game off... as if we were kindergartners and that was going to get our attention. The Maid of Honor asked the DJ (literally asked, no profanities, no accusations, nothing rude) to put the game back on to which he responded "You and your party are not important" and he kicked us out. All 23 of us. All $3,000 we spent elsewhere that night. Again, I remind you, we were at a bar in a suburb of DETROIT called THE LOCKER ROOM and they wouldn't put the Wings Playoff Game on?! Really?! Because we were supposed to be boosting the bartender's ego by chanting his name instead?! I wasn't there to celebrate JD. I was there to have fun with my girls, some of whom wanted to watch the game. The website says "Just about anything that will get you kicked out somewhere else we encourage you to do here!". It should say "just about anything you do on your own, without glorifying our lame bartenders, will get you kicked out here!".

**Edited review** The only time I used to ever come to the Locker Room was on Friday or Saturday night. I didn't even know they offered food in the earlier hours of the day. I kind of wish they offered it throughout the evening but if you've ever been here when it's super packed on a weekend you know that food would be all over the place. Still a place to go if you want to party and have fun. This is the place to be for a party! Love the atmosphere. Only downfall is NO FOOD. would definitely stay longer if they served food

a very unique, fun fun bar. i've never been to anything like it before. this bar is very interactive and not really for shy or quiet people because the bartenders will call you out and harass you if you are sitting or don't look like you are having fun. you get drumsticks when you arrive and they encourage you to stand on your seat or on the bar itself and make noise by banging on anything in site. the only thing you can't do is bang on the ceiling or lights. when i was there i was told you are in a battle with the other half of the bar and if you win certain battles you will get drink specials or free drinks. the battles can include; using drumsticks, yelling, singing, swearing or tipping your bartender. you can pay your bartender to shove whipped cream into the other bartenders face or even get someone into the dentist chair and get force-fed a shot and if it is someone's birthday they make sure they are thoroughly embarrassed by making them go up on stage and singing and dancing. the bartenders do really cool tricks and take requests.

The most fun I have ever had at a bar. I was handed two drum sticks upon my arrival, and paid a dollar for a Miller Lite (ew.). The evening progressed from there, with trivia, a bar crawl, flame throwing, drink demonstrations, loud music, dancing, etc, etc. The only reason I remember the evening is because all the bar serves is Miller Lite or Bud Lite, as far as I could surmise. The bartenders are usually a little too preoccupied pushing shots to pour beers. As a self-professed beer snob, this was a Whomp. A must-visit-again next time I find myself needing a loud evening away from the fam.

Watch your money people! The bartenders love the fact that you're distracted while drinking and will pocket your change on multiple occasions.

If 0 stars is possible thats what I would give this place. I downloaded the Yelp app with the specific purpose of giving this place the worst review possible. For which they deserve. My friend dropped his wallet and the bouncer claimed he was "slurring his words". I asked to speak the manager who only looked at my friend once just to agree with the bouncer without even speaking to my friend who ISNT FROM THIS COUNTRY so naturally slurred his words. These 20 year old bouncers were on some disgusting racial power trip and refused my friend from coming into the bar. I asked them repeatedly to look at my friend and tell me that that he looked intoxicated when he was standing by my side looking at them so confused. I had a group of ten of my friends waiting to get in. I am absolutely disgusted by the ignorance that was presented to my friends and I am emabarrased I brought them to a place i considered a fun stop in my town. Never again. I hope you guys go out of business again or burn to the ground.

This bar plays shitty music. The people want to hear house music. At least the bartender was friendly, will frequent a bar that plays GOOD music. Also no wine, what is this? Prison?

Hater? Yes, Why because I'm not 22. If your in your low 20's I'm sure the locker room is great for you. But I'm odd about wanting thing like good service, quick service, clean, price...... The place sucks!
