    Needed to kill a little time before dinner on a Saturday. Had a great experience with a small group. Very laid back with reasonable drink prices and solid selection.

    Relaxed environment, great drinks and Peggy makes sure that everyone signs in and wears their mask when they're up walking around.

    The bartender was a hoot! She pulled up a bar stool and sit down and just joined in our conversation, very refreshing. The drinks were good but the Lions lost. Nothing new

    Ljs is probably one of the last great dives in Detroit. Especially in corktown. A true gem. Do yourself a favor and grab a nightcap here because the true magic lies within the staff.
