    This was probably the baddest bar I've ever been in automotive related and the front end of a Cadillac hung off the Wall badges of cars all over played a variety of music from the Beastie boys to ska and some punk to Metallica. Outstanding staff and bar service.. very cool pedestrians at the bar.. I give this place five stars plus unbelievable

    if i could leave 0 stars i would. walked into this place for a 21st bday on a monday night the week of christmas with festive hats and sweaters on. as soon as we walked in the bartender yelled out nope didn’t think much of it. then we sat at a table and he then said out loud to the people already at the bar “go somewhere else”.addressed the bar tender and he claims to have been talking with his friend. we left. weird atmosphere.

    Bouncer was a bully and ripped my identification from my hand to read my gov name that I told him I don't use. Shamed me for covering it, then shamed me for telling him why. You only need to see my age sir, which you guessed as older, that was mean too. I'm obviously in my 40s, you guessed older, so there was no reason to card me in the 1st place. But to then physically rip my Id from me while I'm holding it back so you can see the only thing I'm covering, my 1st name. Terrible ending to a great day. Went home sad af from arts beats n eats. And now I have to work there for the next 3 days. I know where I won't be ending my nights working out there now.

    Fun dive bar - great atmosphere - strong drinks. Every time I go here I meet new people and have a great time. The jukebox is restricted - you cannot play rap or anything similar to rap. I thought that was kind of off-putting. Would’ve given 5 stars otherwise.

    One of the best bars in the area, good Michigan beers on tap. Good atmosphere. Prime location.

    One of my fav joints in the world. Used to frequent back in the 90s before I left MI. Will ALWAYS stop in for a few when I'm back home. Sure hope they still have that original killer jukebox!

    Eric worst bartender lack of communication skills when you specifically ask did the guys you met payed for our drinks because they specifically asked to put it on their tabs just for them to leave and he charges us. Never coming back again.

    Very slow but understandable being the 6th of January but still a nice joint to kill a beer before heading out for some grub.

    Great dive bar!!… if you’re looking to get harassed by the bar back guy that has physical boundary issues; than this is the bar for you! It’s mandatory to hug the gross man that’s yelling “but I work here!”

    Like every good dive bar, the drinks are cheap and the air is moist.

  • 5/5 Morgan R. 1 year ago on Google
    Had my first beer at a bar here and it was great and was still great after I got a bit more drinking experience. I love this place and it holds a special place in my heart.

    I’ve never been treated so poorly at a place before. Extremely rude bartender. Do yourself a favor an avoid this place at all costs

    Has the potential to become my favorite bar here.

  • 5/5 Michael R. 1 year ago on Google
    An up north really cool feeling kind of bar placed in a nice downtown area. Gets your mind relaxed like a long needed mini vacation. 🤙

  • 5/5 Brett G. 1 year ago on Google
    Hell yeah brotherrrrrrr. It’s a good place to get a drink. Not a ton of seats but they have fair prices and it’s a cool automotive theme bar. I’d be happy to get plastered under their roof
