"Housed in one of Detroit's oldest buildings and a short walk from the local music venue, this is the artist's favorite late-night spot for entertaining out-of-town guests; it's particularly noted for award-winning chicken wings that are marinated for 24 hours." - AFAR
"Ask a Detroiter where to find the best wings, and Sweetwater Tavern in Bricktown probably tops the list. The wings here are a house recipe, marinated overnight, covered in spices, and fried to finger-licking perfection. Online ordering is available." - Serena Maria Daniels

The wings here are a house recipe, marinated for 24 hours, covered in spices, and fried to finger lickin’ perfection. Each serving is about a pound and a half before frying, giving customers eight to 10 pieces per order. Between its locations downtown, Downriver, Eastpointe, and Flint, as well as its express locations, Sweetwater sells 15,000 pounds of wings a week, according to the menu." - Serena Maria Daniels

Are you sitting on a friend’s couch and are suddenly overrun with the urge to eat delicious chicken wings? Hear us out - you should go to Sweetwater. What we’re trying to say is that Sweetwater Tavern has excellent wings and it’s the main reason we keep going back to this downtown classic. The ribs, rib tips, burgers, and general bar food are also all good, in case this is the one time in your life when you don’t in fact want wings." - sara barron, sam faye
