    I'm not one to post reviews, but this needs to be known. My friends and I rented out 4 booths for a birthday party. We were nothing but respectful and brought a large amount of business to the bar. Our friend (Asian American) was sitting on a table in our area and was asked to move. Apparently she was moving too slowly because she was grabbed inappropriately, dragged from the table, and thrown down the stairs as the bouncer was using racial slurs. This is absolutely unacceptable, and from what I hear happens more often than not. Avoid, but if you don't, please be careful.

    This place is disturbing. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable anywhere in my life. Blacks are not welcome or wanted here. Some of my girl cousins and I stopped by for a drink. We were literally the only people in there the staff would not serve or seat us. They stated “everything was reserved nothing was available”. Keep in mind it was a Sunday at 4PM with not a soul in sight. We felt so uncomfortable we left. They might as well just put a whites only sign in the window because I felt like we took a step back into the 60’s. Detroit it filled with African Americans if y’all don’t want to serve blacks get the hell out of a predominantly black city. I’ve never felt more disgusted or disrespected in my life. I hope they close down.

    I was told to leave the bar with no apparent reason for it and when I asked why I was being asked to leave. Another bouncer came from behind me and grabbed me by the collar. Then proceeded to choke me with my shirt all the way out the bar. As he blasted my head against the wall down each step. My short was destroyed and I was even allowed to pick up my hat. If this place wasn't even such a joke to me. I would honestly consider pressing charges. Not to mention the fact that every drink costs an arm and a leg in itself. As for the owner. Expect a phone call this week. You will be buying me a new shirt and hat.

    RACIST. A grown man assaulted my friend, a black woman, and when we tried to help her he punched me in the face and threw my other friend on the ground who is also black. He’s a big foreign guy probably Arab or Chaldean. He used “N” word with the “er” at the ends trying to accuse my friend of calling him that. All started because he was rude to my friend and didn’t let her in to the club because she was wearing brand new, rose gold Huaraches while letting other people, (white people) into the club with converse and vans right in front of her. He got super mad when she said “it’s fine , I get it , you don’t like black people” and then started cussing her out and told her to get out the line. When she said she’s not moving because she’s going to make sure her other friends (who got in with sneakers because they’re Caucasian) get out the club, he threatened to put his hands on her. When arguing back and forth he pushed her and started hitting her when she tried to fight back, when my friends and I tried to get him away he assaulted us as well. We filed a police report and the police didn’t do anything because they were friends with that guy.

    Terrible bouncer. My husband and I are black. I don't usually resort to calling people racist but the bouncer was racist.He wouldn't let me or my husband in due to us wearing casual gym shoes. Which would of been ok, but he then precide to let at least 6-7, white people in wearing gym shoes. They were regular patrons without a booth. Please people of color avoid this place. The money of ethic people carry so much weight, do not support businesses that don't support or appreciate you.

    My daughter was just at this place eating steak bites. The steak bites were served, she turned in her seat to begin eating and a RAT was eating her food. Video available is needed. Please stay away from this place.

    The food was way overpriced for the quality! Drinks come in plastic cups. Ordered the steak, came out over done so I sent it back then came back raw and literally zero seasoning, not even a sprinkle of salt. And for $32 you would think it would be good, wrong! Drinks were strong, but for $13 for a drink in a plastic cup I would hope so.

    I went with a group of 7 girls and they wouldn’t let one of them in because she didn’t have heels on. We walk in to see several people wearing soccer slides. The bouncers allowed one of us to bring a camera and ointment in saying they “normally don’t allow it” but left a young woman outside alone???? Because she didn’t have HEELS on???? Ugly and disgusting. Waste of money. Why would you care more about a dress code than a woman’s safety at 1am???? Don’t go here <3

    After being told no white tees to get in, I took this picture once inside. I think that should say enough.

    Went there for a bachelorette. Dj pushed my chest back when I was clearly behind the ropes of his set they put up and when I asked for a song he said “I played one for you already” when the dance floor was pretty much empty, not many people asking for songs. Will not be back

    The bouncers straight up beat the hell out of my friend out of nowhere after they had been joking around and chilling. 1/10 DO NOT GO HERE. They almost put him in the hospital.

    Went there by chance when just walking around Greektown. My wife and her girlfriend got in (pased the bouncer) while I parked the car. Unfortunately for me, (according to the bouncer) , "I wasn't dressed for club." ok, dress codes; I get it. Jeans and sneakers not good enough. Then he said "For 20 dollars he'd let me in". What a joke. Called my wife to leave, and wont be going back. She said she didn't like the inside either.

    This place is horrible and honestly I don’t even know how this place is still open. You guys need new staff and security because they’re just DISGUSTING.. a security guard legit pepper sprayed a girl for no reason because a bottle service girl said she had the authority to do whatever she wants meaning she could kick out any girl for any reason.. I’m speechless at the lack of professionalism. Like who owns this place? The security guard at the door who is slightly overweight and short looking with a flat rim level two hat please ladies and even men BEWARE of him.

    If zero stars was an option that’s what I would leave for this establishment. We paid $20 each for a cover to get to the rooftop, no problem. Let me tell you that it’s not a rooftop. It’s a little room with an open ceiling. With zero seating. The seats were roped off and all had reserved signs on them. In order to get to the actual rooftop, you have to pay another $10 per person. They did not tell us that downstairs. So essentially after your $20 cover you pay extra to sit. There’s no wonder why this bar had no line and delmar had a line down the block. Wish we would have gone there. I definitely won’t return and I’ll advise others not to as well. I’ve worked in the industry for 12 years. Try being honest it will get you more business.

    Hip spot in the heart of Greektown! Good mix of people, drinks are reasonably strong and priced. Good bottle service with a light "tapas" menu if your eating. They have an awesome outdoor patio high up that allows smoking (for any of you smokers out there!) the views on top patio are awesome! Sooo if you're in the heart of Greektown and gambling isnt5you thing and you've already had dinner come dance under the stars at Level Two (weather permitting). Awesome DJ's after 10pm most weekends, I only deducted a star for all those stars!

    Couldn’t get in because I was wearing “gym shoes” (Nike air max’s, the most expensive shoes I own) thankfully this place is a dump and I didn’t want to go anyways.

    I walked in with a group of friends. They danced and I had to use the restroom. The manager kicked me out and told me I was a freeloader. Told me to buy a drink before I used the restroom. The manager looked under the influence of drugs. Would not return or recommend.

    For starters the bouncer is very rude, my friend told me he threw her out for not having the right shoes. They put their hands on her. He should get fired for it or this place should be closed down. Don't go here alone also especally if your a women I wouldn't say this is a safe place. Please don't go here go to mgm or motor city their has to be somewhere else.

    RUN RUN as fast as you can. This place is sad for a night club in Downtown Detroit. My daughter and her male friend was treated badly here they both was jumped on and sent to the E.R. for the wounds inflicked by the bouncer of this establishment along with some of her female staff jumping in the mix. They took her phone so she couldn't call anyone along with her money and pulled out her hair. After hearing the story from three people. This is soooo sad to say they are still open after I personally just read the reviews of how people are treated here and to be in downtown Detroit at that when we need business to come back WOW. The owners of this place don't care how his guess are treated .they need to close this establishment asap. Hello Mayor of Detroit read this.

    The bouncers are by far the worst part about this place. They have this God complex, especially the bald one. On several occasions he’s been rude and aggressive towards me and my friends. Not to mention, I entered the bar with no cover, leave for 10 minutes to check out a different place and when i came back they tried pretending there was a cover charge now? Place is a joke. Worst bar in Detroit 😂

    Complete trash. The bar tenders and waitresses were dressed so skanky it made me feel completely uncomfortable being there. I over heard several others while sitting outside complaining about it as well so I’m not the only one who felt this way. The inside was to dark and both inside and outside area were to loud.

    Went for drinks and food before the game to see my fav girl !! Everything was amazing nachos and beers but left my table for the bathroom ... left two drinks and the rest of nachos on the table along with a wallet and they cleared our table and drinks and made us pay for new ones like it was our fault. Bad management!!! Blamed our server when the bar back that just walked in cleared our table and had to literally lift the wallet to wipe he table down. Poor customer service on the management!!!

    This place is absolute trash. If I could give it less than one star, I would. The line outside makes you think this place is going to be a good time but it's anything but. Not only is it over crowded making it hard to move and dance, but people were breaking out in fights. Be careful of the imaginary "VIP booths" that people try to claim. You might just get kicked out of the middle of the dance floor because someone "paid for that spot."

    No "gym shoes". If they don't want you in, you aren't getting in. Don't even argue. Those bouncers are very selective.

    Awful place. I do not know how this place hasn’t closed down or been sued yet. Bouncers are awful and are money hungry and aggressive. When I went with a group of friends, we all in enter with $20 cover charge. However they pick people that they think are not “attractive or dressed nice enough” and forced one of our friends to pay a $40 cover to enter with us (for no reason stated). Nothing special on the inside, will never return.

    Great place to be attacked by bouncers , very if you aren’t african american, you will be attacked brutally. And if you try to speak on it on social media, they deny all allegations and flip it as if you were in the wrong. I see why this place only has a 2 star rating

    Went for my fiancés birthday, mind you, we have been there many times. Saw them sing happy birthday to one young female, but they neglected to sing for my fiancé, after I advised them, and told them it was his birthday . Please speak with you’re employees regarding discrimination. Just wanted his night to be special

    We were at the bar to celebrate a roof top holi party. Roof top is not a roof top, it’s a room with no roof. Party was nice, we had lot of fun with colors and DJ. The inside bar area looks very tiny too. It’s very close to parking lots too.

    Stopped in for happy hour but the specials weren't good so we didn't benefit, only cheap beer and well (cheap) liquor was included... Maybe because I'm from another city and happy hour is so much more, my expectations were too high. Anyway, the food ordered was great although overpriced IMO. Our service was pretty good too.

    So basically I’m new to Detroit and I’m trying to find places to go. Hopefully everyone who left a review can respond to this… So this is a bar with racist staff, the bouncers aren’t trained, it’s downtown in the center of Detroit but disgusting and they are extorting people for money at the door?

  • 4/5 Tonya J. 5 months ago on Google
    The view was nice. The service was good, and the beer was inexpensive during happy hour. They are the only pub I've been to that has Peroni on tap. The reason I gave 4 stars is because they automatically charge a gratuity for a party of two. I asked the server about it and she said they do it on all of bills. The gratuity charge was no where near what I would have given but it is a real pet peeve of mine that they put an automatic gratuity charge and don't mention the fact they are adding the extra charge.

    We were bar hopping Greektown on a really slow Monday night this August. Level 2 had the only two bartenders who actually engaged in conversation and participated in our photo requests. Signature drinks were really good and we had a great time! Every other bar/bartenders were slow to service, seemed put out by us, and were a cross between bored and rude. Shout out to Joey and Deanna at Level 2, you guys made our night!!!

    I've been to a lot of clubs for New Year's Eve, even Time Square in New York City. Bringing in 2020 at Level Two with my friends was a fabulous memory that we will never forget.
