The High Dive

This bar and Leonard (co-owner) hold such a special place in my heart. It’s the closest thing to modern day cheers you can find in our cruel world. The staff is great, Leonard’s drinks are modern and thoughtful yet affordable for what you’re getting. It’s a great spot, and sitting at their barstools feels like home.

One of my all time favorite bars to grab a cocktail! Everything I have had at High Dive has been perfectly made to order. The service is top notch and the staff is so personable! Definitely worth checking out while you’re visiting Hamtramck.

Great atmosphere! Me and my buddies came here. I tried some new cocktails Leonard recommended, while my friends got beer. Great time, great variety and great people!

Beautiful come-as-you-are dive bar with rotating homemade cold pressed juices (optional to mix with liquor!). The bar has a homey feel with a welcoming bartender/manager, and the pool table is always full of local sharks ready for some friendly competition. No food served here, but great food all around the area. Definitely a must stop for a bev, a conversation, and a game of pool. There’s music shows on some weekends, drawing a mix of people which I always love. They have the Lions on the TV in the fall, and have awesome music playlists when there’s no artist… Highly recommend the High Dive

The new High Dive has quickly become one of the best bars in town. The drinks are always delicious, and the selection is insanse! super friendly service and cool events too, check it out.

I love this place. Leonard has made a real cozy and welcoming space for everyone to drink and socialize in. Lots of seating, including two outdoor areas. Lighting is A+, there’s a solid pool table that’s free some evenings. Cool djs regularly (Tuesdays are a fave of mine), movies on the tvs on other nights. They even have the game on sometimes. Drink menu is fantastic, a rotating list of *pick your spirit* house made juicy mixers that are great in N.A. versions too. If you’re lucky, Leonard will whip you up something special on the spot. The agave selection here cannot be beaten, as well as the knowledge behind it. 10/10 don’t miss when in Hamtramck.

Ever since I first found this place back in September of last year it’s become my favorite bar and I make it a point to come regularly. The staff in incredible and the free pool is a super nice touch

Wonderful homy local joint, Leonard is a master mixologist offering affordable/inventive cocktails in a city with a shot and beer preference. Excited to see what they do in the months/years to come!

Awesome bar!! Very good vibe and sensational cocktail menu! I can imagine this place gets rowdy on weekend nights, but that's a guess. The bar tender was super nice! Didn't even get impatient with me when I took forever trying to decide on a cocktail. I went with the mule and it was *chefs kiss* delicious! Anyway, yeah, the bartender was just so nice. The kinda that makes me wanna become a regular. If I ever find myself in Hamtramck or even Detroit area again, I'm definitely going here for a drink or ten.

After years of talking about stopping in to the High Dive. Our group of friends finally stopped in and what a great place for a drink it was the bar staff were friendly and polite the drinks were fantastic and the prices were reasonable. We will definitely going back

Found this place when I parked by it for a separate event and so glad I did! The bartender was incredibly friendly and the drinks were great. Their menu is clearly thought out and the detroiter in me appreciates the homage to Faygo throughout the menu. I love that they had mocktails featured on their menu.

Music is pretty good here. Kind of an odd atmosphere with people asking you a lot of questions then asking you to pay a cover fee after you've already been there for ten minutes. It was freezing cold temperature wise.

I can't believe this is my first time at High Dive. What a cool spot to hang out! We walked in and were immediately greeted by the most eccentric bartender, who happens to be the owner. He showed us around pointed out the uniqueness of the decor throughout the place. He explained that Detroit doesn't wake up until 10pm and then the party gets started. lol He referred to High Dive as a Vampire Bar. OMG...hahaaaa I didn't know if we should stay or run! We opted to stay and see what the hype was all about. We ended up meeting some fun people and the DJ was spinning great house music. The craft cocktails were amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed our night on the town. I can't wait to come back.

We came to this bar because it was close to home. As soon as we walked in we were greeted with a dark and calming atmosphere. The music was at a good level so you could still hold conversation. My drink is tasty and not light on the pour. Really good pricing for craft cocktails. Give this place a shot! You won't be disappointed.

Cool atmosphere. Came on a Friday night and it wasn't too busy. Mix of shark decorations and old church benches, stained glass. Drinks are great, bartender is very nice- had good suggestions for what to drink and was very friendly. Would definitely come back!

Love this spot. A hidden gem. Music is great, service is quick. The vibe and decor are super cool. Serious LA vibes, which makes sense because the owner is from there. A HIGH class DIVE bar... now I get it. People wearing masks during COVID, I feel safe there. 10/10.

This bar is all sorts of awesome. The owner has great taste and cares about the details in everything from the decor to the service. For instance, he made one of the best old fashioneds I have had in the city. I belong to one of Detroit's fancy private clubs and I wish the bartenders there could make an old fashioned half as good as the one I enjoyed at The High Dive. The best part is even though the drink was crafted with the finer details in mind, it was served without any pretension. This wasn't some bearded douche with a topknot calling himself a mixologist bragging about how long he spent making the ingredients as he served you. This was the owner, a regular guy who quietly knew exactly what he was doing as he struck up a meaningful conversation with you before serving up deliciousness in a rocks glass. This bar is excellent. You get the inclination for that excellence as you walk in. You know it when you start interacting with the staff and enjoying their work.
