    This is a Corktown classic and a place where you should visit at least one time to gain the true Orish spirit of Corktown.

    I really enjoyed my time here. I was looking for a place with live Irish music and was impressed by the kind people, good drinks and good music here. It's not too loud so that we could talk. I'll definitely be back!

    It's a nice and inexpensive bar. The membership is cheap. It has a cozy fireplace area which is great for gathering with friends in the winter. It feels like a pub in Ireland.

    I am a third-generation Gaelic League member. The Gaelic League is as authentically Irish-American as it gets. No neon signs, no TVs, just an old-school bar and social club. Please support TGL by joining for $20/year and bring some cash for a pint!

    An amazing Irish bar with great Irish music for someone from Belfast, Ireland and loved every moment of it with cheap drinks also!

    If you want the best guineas pint in the D, then you need to become a member. If you are lucky, you may see a shamrock at the top.

    Really nice venue / bar / hangout in Detroit. Came down for Santarchy. The staff were super accommodating and nice. The bartender was really good and friendly. They know how to properly pour a Guinness, which is huge. Saw some live music and the room acoustics were surprisingly good. I definitely recommend coming here to hang out.

    Visited for an old friend's concert. Great venue and bar with a lot of history. Places like these are what make Detroit special.

    Great time, great music and great people for St. Patrick's day! My only complaint was that they cleared the place of all the seating leaving a lot of older folks standing the whole time. :/

    This is a fun place to hang out for any of the big events they host. Alcohol is usually pretty reasonably priced at $7 a drink. It was cash only they did have food available and live music. Indoor bathrooms were closed and had a huge amount of Porta potties outside in the back of the building.

    Check out the awesome pizza!

    Friday nights with Kitty!!! You better believe it... Celtic dancing is social, a workout, and a delightful way to understand heritage and timeless wisdom. Be still my heart when I see those lovely legs move faster than the wind... Keep it up... #auric

    people working the door stopped letting people in without negotiation, tried to tackle my friend to the ground and one of the guys put his hand on another of my friend's throat. not cool

    Great people. Great drinks. Awesome music.

  • 5/5 Michael O. 3 years ago on Google
    A great place to sit and catch up with friends. Have a drink and enjoy some live Irish music on the weekends. Special concerts and other events throughout the year. A great tradition for the St Patrick’s Day Parade and one of the best places to be.

    Historic Irish spot, smack dab in cork town. You can't beat the authenticity! Come and experience the luck yourselves because no review or picture can truly present the vibe. Ask for bartender Katie! Thank me later

  • 3/5 Nick C. 2 years ago on Google
    It's OK. Not much else to say. The bar tender was cool. Just a local dive bar. Check it out if you're in the area and have nothing else going on.

  • 5/5 Jacqueline C. 2 years ago on Google
    Love the staff and volunteers! Great music and wonderful fun environment!

    I was there for a Fundraiser, so I can only say they have great Bar Staff, a large Dance Floor on the cleanest Restroom I have seen in a Bar. They also have Handicap Access at the entrance and there seemed to be ample parking for Cars and bikes. I had a great time
