Woodward Ave. Bar & Grille

Well Well HP I haven't been here in maybe fire years. I love house music 🎶🎵🎧🎛️& one of my college friends was DJ on a Thursday so I attended Oh yeah the Happy Hour Menu---Affordable My Potatoe Skins & Chicken Tenders were delicious 🤤 as I'm allergic to fish but that entree had to be good because folks were ordering them.

Absolutely loved this spot! The atmosphere is exactly what you want from a neighborhood bar—laid-back, inviting, and full of charm. The catfish? Perfectly seasoned and fried to perfection. The owner is a total gem—warm, friendly, and clearly takes pride in the place. It’s one of those rare finds where everything just feels right. I’ll definitely be back!

Went on a Thursday night to hear some house music. I was seated at the bar and It took an extra long time for me to get noticed and order my drink. The drink was on point when I got it. I didnt order any food I figured it would take a long time to get it. DJ DAP was killing it even though her set was short. I would love to see an all female line up of DJ’s. Instead of the same ones every week.

Warning ⚠️. I got charged $10 to get in an empty club. The Drinks are over priced and watered down. 30 years in night clubs and bars. One thing I do know is how drinks should taste and or if they are water down. I ordered 2 drinks costs me $30 dollars. I even left the bartender a five dollar tip, She didn't even acknowledge I left her a tip. She had the nerve to thank the guy i bought the drink for and thank him not me. i Left after I drank Watered down with ice. Won't be back .... Beware wolf in sleep clothing... Dj was good sorry he works there... Btw this all happened in less than 20 minutes enter the bar. Imagine if I was there for a couple hours probably to cost me a couple hundred dollars beware.

I did not partake and eating anything, but the drinks are good. Definitely worth the money next time I’m definitely trying more than one thing on the menu makes a great thank you for birthdays

I just left the bar 30 minutes ago. The staff is was extremely rude and kept ignoring me when I was patient the whole time, and then charged me for a beer I didn't drink and the other bartender didn't want to serve me. This was absolutely the WORST service and I would recommend this place to anyone. I wish I could rate zero stars if I could

I met some co-workers here for happy hour. Drinks are reasonably priced at about $5, they aren't too large but they're quite potent!! They also have good baskets (fish & fries, wings & fries, burgers, sliders etc.) for about $8/$9 a meal. I'd recommend this place for a group meet up. The atmosphere is dope, and outside seating is nice.

The ambiance is amazing cool little cozy place tucked into the neighborhood. Staff was friendly (Rhonda) was one of a kind jewel. Had a the happy hour special. Enjoyed the live band on Wednesday. Will be back for karaoke on Sunday. Smokers area as well as a lovely patio with great breeze. Enjoyed myself will certainly return.

What a great place to visit! A really nice bar and grill located near the heart of Highland Park! We were first-timers, and everything was great. Laid back atmosphere and the drinks were good. Good Happy Hour specials. The food was fantastic, the service is unmatched and the music was great! You don't feel like you're in HP off Woodward when you walk in but you're reminded of HP with all the homage paid to HP HS. Great Black owned spot. Will go there again for sure.

Wonderful atmosphere. Grown vibe! DJ was on point. Food and drinks were reasonably priced and good. Definitely check out this hidden gem.

This is a tough review. So bare with me! Years ago, I wrote a scathing review about Woodward Ave Bar and Grill on a different platform. The service was absolutely terrible. However, my most recent visit began much better. The service was more prompt, not great but reasonable. The food? Well, it met my expectations. It was bar food and it served the purpose. I felt like we had prime seating. In fact,, I would consider it VIP seating. We sat at the two large booths between the bar and the tabletops, close to the dance floor, with the live DJ playing music that each generation enjoyed. The atmosphere was great! I thought, this is a much better experience than before. We saw beautiful people, experienced great vibes, and ordered more drinks. Then suddenly a staff member quickly approached another staff member and quietly said, "Call the police. Xyz abc in the bathroom fighting." Next thing you know, our waitress was pushed into my sister. It turns out, it was the owners who were allegedly fighting. We decided to escape before things escalated and left immediately. An hour later 1:30 a.m., my sister received a text message with a picture of our inaccurate and unpaid bill. Not sure how I feel about paying a bill when our night was disrupted - BY THE OWNERS. While my general experience was initially great, the fighting along with my previous experience make me question whether I would recommend this place to others. Would I visit again? Probably so - just so I can write about it.

The cocktails here are excellent and the music is good. It was the perfect place to drop in with the girls and have drinks. There is ample parking in the back and even on the street in front. I'll happily go back.

Great place to visit if in Highland Park,MI!! Very grown and sexy vibe. Food was amazing drinks were great. Very unique place!! Live music, comedy shows, and happy hour daily 330-7.Fast and pleasant service. Owners are very nice ppl!! This place ambiance is a definite vibe!!

The place to be..period! Down home atmosphere, people from all walks of life gathered to celebrate life! Great food and libations, and music that compels you to move your body!

This place is really great. Doesn't look like much from the street but then you step inside it's amazing. Owners were there and made us feel like family.

Really enjoyed the food and the people. Service was great despite being overwhelmed as only one on the floor. Would definitely go back again.
