8/28/23 Have now been back and had a beer there, and true to the owner's word below, the situation does indeed seem to be fixed. In fact this time the Oberon was carbonated as it should be and laced the glass beautifully. My heartfelt thanks! Food score adjusted above to 5 stars. [Original review] One star for food reflects only on the draft beer system. It seems that all the draft beers come barely carbonated. When Bell's Oberon comes to the table with no head and utterly flat there's something wrong. Seems that the CO2 pressure and line balancing needs to be looked at. Guinness shows fine nitrogen bubbles but it was otherwise flat. Once they seem to have run out of glassware so the second Guinness came in a plastic cup. The Heineken I got in the bottle was light struck and served without a glass. Service was friendly, food was fine and the location is good for me. I will return but would greatly appreciate someone checking the beer situation for both draft and bottles.

So much fun! Relaxed atmosphere..very good service..wonderful food!great people place always a good time..

PJ's Lager House is one of Detroit's amazing venue spots for live entertainment and just so happens to have amazing food and very fair priced drinks!! 🔥👍

Very good food. Very cool place. Glad someone suggested it. Love their food selection. Also, great menu for vegans. Beer selection is of the charts and the bartender makes the best cocktails. We had a blast.

Excellent grilled shrimp po-boy! Fun guitar pic bar! Great service and little wait for our food.

Menu was nice!! Im mad I didn't have room for more! I got the Korean Corned Beef Hash

Quaint place and the food was absolutely delicious. Located at the beginning of Corktown, it was the perfect spot to stop by before we had to get to our show for the evening! I had the Vietnamese Salad and mini Jambalaya. Ask for the black garlic habanero sauce to try on your tofu! My husband had the Catfish Po Boy and that was delicious as well. Definitely a good place for a delicious bite. 😋

The Staff are talented and artistic. The location is great. The music venues are really fun to attend. Great digital bar menus and anime on the screens. GREAT DRAFT SELECTION! FOOD IS DELICIOUS! BARTENDERS ARE SUPER COOL! This place ROCKS! An absolute must visit in the city. LOVE IT!!!!!

We here in late March to grab a few drinks and some food before the Wings-Lightning game. We had amazing service (Paul rocks!) and amazing food. I was especially happy that the variety of food included a few Vegan options! Photo features the Vegan Po'Boy...DELICIOUS!!

Just stopped in today to try it out. Small quaint place. The service was fantastic and the food was outstanding. The Gumbo and the Jambalaya were Very tasty. Also tried the Bourbon Maple wings. These were some of the best wings ever had! Had a crunchy outside fried skin, and the sauce was spot on. Will be back for all the other items on there menu.

Don't let the folding tables and hard rocker decor detour you from trying out this place. Came for brunch and had the shrimp and grits. It was excellent! The fried grits triangles smothered in the Cajun cream sauce was both delicious and original. This place also have great vegan and vegetarian options.

A dive bar with vegan options? What more could I want?

Caution: menu states vegan and gluten free items but they do not have dedicated fryers. Items are cross contaminated. Your Kitchen Manager stated you fry gluten items in same oil as gluten free items like your French fries. This could be deadly to people with allergies especially since you state your fries are gluten free.

We came here for brunch while staying overnight in Corktown. It was so delicious! And the brunch drinks were amazing! Clearly a place where locals hang out and we’re super friendly. My fiancée wanted their vegan options which is what took us here and so glad we went!

Dropped in for weekday lunch yesterday and had terrific food. We recommend the gumbo, and the fried pickles were delicious! PJ's is open at now on Mon/Wed/Friday breakfast and lunch. Live music on Fridays 5:30-7:30.

Had lunch at PJ’s yesterday with friends and loved it. Great atmosphere and service, great beer selection, and many vegan food options, which were delicious. We are from out of town and will definitely try and go there again next time we are in Detroit.

Staff will bounce customers if other customers don't like them. Gross policy. Poor bar service, too, if you can manage to snag a drink before they give you the heave arbitrarily. I guess if you're the Karen, though, it's probably a pretty cozy watering hole.

So Tuesday is the second day this bar tries a 7am start for breakfast. Hot spot for weekend brunches and bands later on. Place is clean, the bread is fresh, and the breakfast sandwich, one of those avocado, greens, and fried egg concoctions is good. I mean really good. Messy tho. $14 plus a coffee. Place still has some of that old Detroit charm: high ceilings, the tin is in fantastic condition, nice inobtrusive bar, and comfortable. Have to see if I can pull out a spunky date and try an evening. 5 metered parking spaces in front, 50 in back for free. Door along side only for band equipment. Safe to say, I'll be back. Mimosa sounds good. Not on a workday.

They were featuring a pop up BBQ with chicken and ribs and all the fixins. It was amazing food, from the collard greens to the BBQ ribs. Wish I would have bought extra meals to take home.

We've been coming to Lager House for YEARS. A while ago (under different management) it was a little hole in the wall place for unknown musicians to rock out with their friends. But "PJ" moved in, cleaned it up, renovated a few things and NOW it's pretty frickin' AMAZING. It's clean, modern, and the local bands have a nice place to melt faces! This is Detroit's Corktown's little gem for musicians looking for a place to be heard! John Sinclair as well as many others have been here. It's definitely a historic concert hall and will go down in the books with the likes of the Grande Ballroom and Cadieux Cafe. Check out their website and plan a trip to see some of Detroit's finest!

If I can remember her name correctly I came in on a very stressful day as we tend to find ourselves at a bar lol.. Anyways I was greeted with such a warm genuine welcome by Megan Paige (forgive if not spelled correctly).. She was super sweet and SO HELPFUL, I was having anxiety n couldn't figure out what I wanted to eat n she helped me figure it out according to dietary/allergy needs.. I give her 5 stars and 5 stars to the chef as well (the tall fella).. DAMN THE FOOD IS ALWAYS GOOD ESPECIALLY THE VEGAN OPTIONS.. MP thank you for being super chill n awesome💋

Decent vegan choices. Upon leaving, my girlfriend, who is vegan, said "this should be our go to place when in Detroit."

Went there to watch JB and friends performance... first time in the bar, extremely clean atmosphere no old bar smell and the air wasn't stuffy... Good vibes, I definitely will be back wondering if I can perform there soon as well! 5 stars!!!

Thanks for letting us #wagewarwithafork 🐝

Best bar I visited in Detroit. I drove an hour for the Gumbo. They only serve brunch til 3pm. I was so sad when the bartender came back and said they would make it for me. The owner even came out to check on us. Absolutely the best gumbo I have eaten. Amazing! Megan Page was the wonderful bartender and she also gave us so much info about the upcoming Tigers game that night that we stayed and bought tickets!

I had the shrimp n grits I wasn't used to how it came and I wasnt too keen on the crunchy exterior but it was good. Soft and buttery on the inside. Decent atmosphere. The only thing I didn't like is when the dog came in and was roaming around.. I know I know folks have animals in their homes so it's not any different and it was very well mannered but still this is a public eatery.

Very cool venue to catch a live show and have a beer in Detroit. I had a burger here and I instantly wanted another and if you get noisey check out the small shop they have below and check out the vinyls Property Features 🚹🚺 Public Restrooms 🚮 Trash Bins 🍔 Food Served Here 🛴 Rentable Scooters Occasionally Nearby 🎶 Live Shows/Shows 🚳🚭🚯🔞 Not Allowed Inside

It was a pretty basic bar. The list of beers to choose from was solidly alright. The performance space is tucked off to one side which meant it was an awkward combination of people talking over the band and the band trying to entertain a distractible crowd. There's nothing to disqualify it but also not much beyond a great list of beers to help it stand out.

Love the Lager House, Sam is an awesome bartender and the food selection is uniquely extensive for the area. I highly recommend the crispy tofu! They also have gluten free and vegan options

Cool little place! Still great after the new owners took over. Music still cool, food is great, purs are generous! Always a must stop!

Great choice for brunch friendly staff chilled venue cosy and comfy

Ideal local venue, good people, good beer, good atmosphere and music! Not too big, laid back, food was great. M43 on tap even!

Love everything about this place. Food is fantastic, staff is personable, atmosphere is charming and unique. Easily one of the best spots in the city. (Just a heads up, please update the hours on your website! Came for breakfast at 7:30, went home hungry)

Only complaint and it is very small. They only had 1 bartender for the night, and she had a ton of people to help. She did a great job, but it was tough getting service. Otherwise, everything was great! Food was really good and the show was solid! Under the Rug, Basic Printer, and Odd City were all fantastic. Great place for a small show!

I visited Lager House for a concert. The employees were nice and the venue was an excellent place to see a smaller sized show. Pricing was fair and there were no extra charges or fees. I cannot speak to the food as I did not eat there but other people's food looked great.

A great venue with reasonable prices. We did not eat, we were just there for the show and some adult beverages.

Utterly dreadful service. Was given an attitude when they tried to gaslight me into believing that my fries were cajun-seasoned when they were most certainly not. Dude proceeds to rip my carry out box away, marches back to the kitchen, brings it back and tells me he’s “dumped” the seasoning on there (hardly). Might as well have stood up on the counter, pulled down his pants and taken a dump in front of me. Manager or whatever offers me a “drink to-go”(???) I mean come on. The quality of their po’boy is the only saving grace here. I’ll never be back.

Love this bar….service was amazing food was great. Only gripe is that the cheeseburgers are $14…no chips or anything come with it. My hubby and I paid $2 extra for fries, no problem. My son didn’t want fries and just assumed it came with chips. Meat, cheese and bun $14….stupid prices

So friendly and comfy! The food was delicious...fresh, crisp, colorful vegetables in my salad is hard to come by these days. I wonder do they have an organic garden in the kitchen...lol...thanks for a tasty meal...my sister njoyd it too and she's hard to please 🙏

I've been going to the Lager house for over 20 years for live music (mainly Metal 🤘🏻), but just found out they serve brunch! The food was actually pretty good and the server was nice! They were at capacity for seating so we only had a teeny table that's usually only for drinks and I helped myself to a shelf with S&P, hot sauce and ketchup. Definitely a good little place for live music!

My wife and I enjoyed everything. She is vegan and loved the fried avacodo and vegan nachos. I had a burger perfectly cooked and seasoned. Will go back to try more options.

I was very pleasantly surprised when I first ate at the Lager Hours. Their food menu has many great items that go above and beyond traditional bar food. It also has tons of vegan and gluten free options. The staff is super friendly and very attentive.

Awesome vegan options!! Love the tempeh options. I love that it's not just beyond or impossible burgers like most places. The food is delicious, try the vegan breakfast/brunch or sandwiches!

(Translated by Google) Santarchy !!!! (Original) Santarchy!!!!

Awesome food! I’m sad I didn’t get pictures of our meals but they were straight fire! We got the Shrimp Po Boy and a Spicy Chicken Sandwich with Cajun fries. Lemme just say we’ll be back and may just order the same exact thing!

Amazing brunch and breakfast menu Amazing staff Definitely worth the trip

The place serves big portions and for convenient prices. very welcoming employees. Keep it up.

Killer tribute to Springsteen

Great place

Shrimp po boy was really good and the staff was very friendly.

So good to be back. Jonny and Chuck are the best.

Love this place and the people. As of this post they are back open!

Stopped by PJ's on a rainy Saturday afternoon and had a few beers. Nice old dive bar. Draft beer selection was ample and service was good. And they are serious about the Covid stuff so bring your mask!!

Great staff... they need your support.

One of my top locations for bar food. Honestly my favorite evening place. The staff was very helpful and observant. The bill was reasonable.

I had the most amazing cream of mushroom soup today and a nice craft beer... and great company...it was very enjoyable.

Dig the atmosphere!

PJ's is great. 58 friendly. And the Guinness is the right temp

it may look like just another bar but the food menu will impress. they even offer tasty vegan options.

Delicious burgers!

Fun down-town bar with a variety of beers. Was super pleased to find a sour beer at a cheap price and amazed at their delicious vegan friendly menu. I'll be back often.

Super Cool Jack of all dive bars w great live music- a performance space- good old bones- Vegan options here are delicious and heard their Brunch is Savage on weekends but lines will be Stout like the beer ;p solid recommend

Really cool bar! Came here to see Van William and had dinner/drinks before. I tried the vegan po’boy and it was delicious! The staff was friendly and funny.

The most fun place..great food too! Friendly staff..legendary place..it's cool

Despite what Google says, they're open and awesome. My mimosa was so fresh that I found an orange seed, which is a compliment and NOT a complaint.

Nice, clean little dive bar. Staff was super friendly. Went for street beet vegan taco hell which was great.

This edgy bar was a great place for lunch. Went there on a Saturday and their brunch was amazing. The corned beef hash was probably the best I have ever had. All their food was very flavorful. I hear their sandwiches are also to die for... wouldn't expect amazing food from a lager house, but I would recommend.

Fun place to meet friends and have a cold beer. The food is good too!!

PJs is awesome. Great atmosphere and wonderful food. Love the tofu bahn mi is my favorite and I highly recommend it.

Cool place

One of the greatest places in Detroit!!!

Perfect live music spot

Took an hour and a half to get the most boring egg plate in the city. Limited brunch menu at 2pm?! Good news? Server was nice.

Big thanks to Craig for making our dining experience awesome! We came from Texas to visit a friend, we called a couple of places to make sure they were vegan but to our surprise 3 out of the 4 restaurants we stopped at closed their kitchen(s) early. A fact which would have been good to know before we stopped in and when we called *apparently kitchens in MI close early if it’s slow. Nevertheless we called PJ’s lager house and they said they were open! So my family of 6 stopped in at 11:38 pm for some vegan food and boy were we relieved to get any food at all. We order the Guinness battered onion rings- they were huge enough for two people! The Mac and cheese, although I am not a fan of blue cheese, an ingredient PJ’s uses in their Mac n cheese I could not stop eating it! It was balanced quite nicely. The Cajun cheese sticks, the vegan queso (as a side) the flavor was incredible, the texture needed a bit of work it wasn’t velvety like most queso, but flavor wise it was good with a nice peppery kick. The VBLT on wheat which was great the tempeh was cooked great paired with the fresh veggies created a nice balance. The fried pickles were amazing- it was something about the way the Guinness brought a nice airy quality to the what would be dense batter typical fried foods as well as added a depth of flavor to the pickles! Craig was truly the hero of the night we left fat and happy! Jasmine B. The Art Institute of Dallas Culinary Food Club, President

Day time bartender was awesome and I would give her 5 stars, however my overall experience is balanced at a 3 due to the night server that was inhospitable and rude.

Genuine. Like the bit of separation from stage and bar

One of the best venues for live music in the city

Quirky dive bar. PJ's offers everything a dive bar should and more. It has live music and a huge vinyl collection in the basement. Definitely an experience to close down that bar.

Both vegan and gluten free options and great, friendly service.

A boring hipster haven, if you want to go somewhere to have a bartender judge you this is the one!

This joint is pretty much like walking into the coolest friends house with decent pours, good food at a super fair price to portion ... and there’s sweet live music almost ALL the time! Go early, grab drinks - eats and laughs. It’s easy to hang out, and just keep the fun rollin’ into the night with a great cross-cut of live bands. All the way from Detroit original acts to, supporting the diehard road-warrior bands, which gains my respect. This venue also sports a vinyl/thrift shop downstairs in the basement. So be sure to check it out, there’s lots of hidden gems to call your own to sift through if you just need to take a break from being upstairs at the club. Vinyl is not dead, and PJs has you covered! Usually there is a cover/door charge, usually after happy hour. Mostly this door charge is to support the live bands for the night! It’s important to note, PJ’s also throws down many fundraising events and community based activities in this well rounded local hangout. Be sure to hit the sweet beer garden area out back and get your photo taken by the iconic red -white and blue, Wayne Kramer MC5 mural .... and don’t forget to#tag that action ... cause PJs pretty much IS what “Detriot Rock City” was founded on....showcasing local talent and still keeping us happy with great food, drinks, and cool vinyl collection, but most of all ... a welcoming neighborhood feel. This is an interesting. place to land for a few hours when your around the area.

Awesome bands!

Laid back

Average bar, nothing special

Secret favourite. Korean Corned Beef Hash is ridiculously delicious.

Very personal, great food, and talk about a draft selection!

The vegan biscuits and gravy are unbelievable
