👍👍 This is among the great dive bars in metro Detroit. It’s friendly, cheap and welcoming to all. Newbies get a shot of Jezy, which is some polish liquor. It’s pretty tasty. They have a great patio out back. People usually pick excellent tunes on The jukebox. Overall, highly recommend! People often mention dive,

    Hands down the best little dive bar in town. Fun atmosphere with friendly bartenders and locals. I also really appreciate how serious they are about wearing masks and encouraging social distancing in the time of corona. Highly recommend.

    A little hole in the wall with a lot of charm. The patio outback is like hanging out with some old friends in a not so beautifully landscaped backyard. The staff is friendly and the beer and drinks are very reasonably priced and they serve a old favorite... Hamms beer in a can, of course. The on street parking is a little tight.

    Whiskey in the Jar is a local dive bar that is a must visit especially on Paczki Day. Great crowd, excellent vibes, next level bands playing from early in the day. Do yourself a favor and pop in! 5/5 💯 🇵🇱

    This hidden gem was the icing on our cake! First visit to Detroit as Canadians, and stateside since Covid and boy it was a perfect area for us to pick for our one night stay! Mike our bartender was the best and we had the pleasure of meeting the owner and her fiance who helped us out in a jam. (Thank you again for the ride!) While it's home to a great bunch of locals, they sure made us feel extremely welcomed! Cheers folks, we will be back!

    The only bar I've been where the bartender was drunker than the patrons. 5 stars

    Hands down, my absolute FAVORITE BAR in the Detroit Metro area. August the bartender is one of the coolest people you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting and knows how to pour a damn good drink. Be sure to ask August for a shot of Fernet and he'll tell you "It's like 1000 fairies dancing on your tongue!".

    Delicious long island! Friendly bartender and patrons. It was nice to sit outside by the firepit and catch up with a friend (without having to shout over music too). Recommend!!

👍👍 Reasonably priced drinks, pool tables and online jukebox available. They have a good 'bar food' menu; try the Ćevapi (a kebab-type sausage, found traditionally in southeastern Europe countries), or Ćevapi Pita with a side of tzatziki sauce--it's delicious!
