Everett Dyson

Great Liverpool pub.

Lisa Haack

Nice atmosphere good whiskey. A bit loud inside

Chris Casteel

Irish coffee

Graham Bewley

Best bar to watch a soccer game in Michigan, especially as a Liverpool fan, and I've been all over. This place gets wild for the big games. Delicious eats from The Proper pop-up breakfast pod on Saturday and Sunday morning.

Alexis Beltran

Great soccer hosts

Nathan Valentine

Can't wait to go back!

Steven Jones

Absolutely the best place and crowd to watch sport.

rashida bradley

I was totally ignored at the bar. I literally had to hold my hand up ro get a bartender ro wait on me. It was a good drink though.

Frederick Lucas

Great music

Eric Conkright

Excellent location to watch a soccer match.

Rosetta Penn

The drinks were weak...need a visit from the LCC for suspected alcohol dilution.

Maxwell Schulz

Great sports bar

Kenn S

This place has no equal. Unparalleled service and selection. Well done, Thomas Magees.

Wilson Prekelezaj

Definitely a Liverpool fans spot. Still a good place to catch the big matches regardless.

Mike Lightner

Great time! Great place!

Jon Mallin

Good food, adventuresome menu, great service

Alex Sebastian

Great staff and drink selection.

George Cotcher-Riley

A great bar for anyone who likes sport. If you want it, it's on! Boxing, football (soccer) or American football! Friendly and social, owner cool A.F.

Tristan Gregory

Shelly is an idiot.

Mario Konja

If you are a fan of soccer, boxing, whiskey, a mean bloody Mary or Irish coffee, or just a beer. This is the place in the Eastern Market to go to. It's the US outlaw home bar and LFC Detroit supporters pub. Erik the owner is the man and this place will happy welcome you in.

Carlos Padilla

What a dump. Full of drunks. Horrible service, stick to bottled anything if you go.

Chene-Marie Chuhran

Jamison is the best. This is coming from a bartender.

Chris G

Great little spot to catch a soccer game. They have pretty much any channel you might need to watch EPL, La Liga, Bundesliga, or Serie A. Drink prices aren't bad and they have some good euro beers on draft.

Dave Thomas

Great sports bar

Robert Mitovski

Local bar at Eastern Market. Awesome place to watch U.S. Soccer tourney

Andrea Woody

Very loud tvs. Service was slow. Drinks were strong. There on a Saturday afternoon

Jason Jones

This place has a great atmosphere and a great location. It's right next to Eastern Market too which makes it a great place for Saturday mornings.

Emelia Housley

Great place, really happy to go to a new venue for shows there. Drink prices are a little steep, $12 for the "loaded Bloody Mary", still good. Beautiful woodwork and structure inside with helpful staff, seating outside too, and right on the edge of Eastern Market.

Michael St. Louis

One of the best bars in Detroit

Nikki Quinn-Abdullah

Awesome

Val

I came here because of emotional Shelly and her outrageous review; you're a nicer person than I am owner. So I cancel out her undeserved 1 star review. You guys keep doing what you're doing. You should roast these people though.

Marie Robinson

Had a beautiful and spectacular time

Renee Kolleth

Fun place. Owner and bar staff are very nice. Drinks are hella expensive though.

Jerry Davis

One of the best Irish bars in the state. They have pretty much anything u want! Where other Irish bars are in name only.

silver wolf ash

Nice but the female bartender not very friendly

Waddell Perry

Great drinks good vibe cool place

Karina Stephens

Cool atmosphere and my favorite bar in Eastern Market. The drinks are cheap and the staff is great! Try a "beermosa" if you're going to Eastern Market on a Saturday morning. It was surprisingly good.

J Lake

First time here enjoying the afternoon. Including playing my favorite tunes on jukebox, music of all kinds, maybe 5-10 other people in the place. Spent $80 in a few hours on drinks and jukebox. Until the obnoxious owner came in and complained about an Elvis song someone else played. He proceeded to hi jack the jukebox by loading it with his favs paying for priority plays. Then he left. No problem, he owns the place after all, but I think he should take out the jukebox and he can be the DJ. But don’t expect him to take requests, or to see me there. His employees were nice but only social to regulars. Oh well, Stache is next door and great bar with food.

Paul Murray

Great bar

Chris Carter

Great place to grab a bourbon

came here with a buddy to watch a world cup match (Spain vs. Russia, I don't want to talk about it...) and we thoroughly enjoyed this pub!! beer selection and ambiance are great, the crowd and service are very lively. Jameson and Erik, you dudes rock!! this is THE best place in Detroit to take in a soccer/football match!

Danny Trejo

Bartenders are cool. Owner’s gonna get himself murdered.

Kevin Ham

open afternoons for Champions League matches!

Brendan Gutenschwager

Busy, upbeat place and a great atmosphere. Lots of street parking around too which is a huge plus!

Andy DeSherlia

Great place next to eastern market, and it is the only place I know of that serves Kilkenny Irish cream ale.

Winston Wingo

I love this bar! Coldest beers whether on tap or bottle. Extensive whiskey selection. Great location in the eastern market pleasant professional staff, they even have a beer hall for large groups and events. Recommend one of theor signature drinks the "Irish coffee"

Christina C

The bartender is a Detroit local. Had a great time chatting it up with her; she kept it real and real quick with the libations. The ambiance is really welcoming... nice woody cabin feel and even some patio seating. I enjoyed stopping by.

Bruce Williams

Good music awesome big screen

Natalie Jameson Kiesling

Whiskey bar, but no Jameson......

4R Group

This is the best bar ever its always just a cool vibe and atmosphere whenever I go in, wether it be day or not. If you are in Eastern Market that is the only place to be!

WAXTAX-N DRE

Plenty of good drinks and the staff is always attentive to your needs. You can always here a old school hip hop song there.

Dionne Mance

A Detroit Staple #amustgo

Michael Sprinkling

Great bar! Great service!

Robert Dege

Only drinks. No food except for bagged chips. Nice interior. Pretty large. In Eastern Market.

Chantel Jackson

Great music

Shelly Mac

Horrible. I was having a very emotional day and passing by i saw everyone out front laughing i wanted to sit and join the fun so i bought suds and proceeded to sit down in a recently vacant chair, Only to be asked to get up by very rude man. I got up and jokingly sat on the utility table. The same huge rude man ordered me off of it. I gave up went in found a corner and cried...yes in my beer. Public service requires patience and intuition. Never ever go here

Charlene Chames

Great place to grab a drink and watch a game. Something is always on. Great local.

Marco Futiak

This bar means business! Drinking is the only priority, strictly professionals allowed, you lightweights don't even bother! My new favorite spot!

Nicola's Beautiful Creations

Love reggae nights

Michael Sonnenberg

Decent spot to watch soccer. If Detroit gets a soccer team will be a great spot.

Mutaz Abu Sittah

Very good sports bar.

Josh Skelly

Have never been treated with such disrespect. Waitress literally threw my credit card at me, ignored me and my friend, and wouldn't cash me out. One drink there and I will never go back .

Gary Lindsey

Screw this joint. Been stopping in, on the way to Lion's game for a few years now. I'm done. Turned my song off, on Jukebox, tonight. Pissed me off. Done. Good luck with ghetto music and no tips.

J Myriah Crimmins

One of my favorite places to see bands.

CJ

If I'm ever in Detroit I'll be sure to stop by! I can respect a place that doesn't take guff from some socially-inept self entitled psycho!

Mike Ostin

Very NICE Place. Lot's goin on & Erik is a Jem & so is his Staff

Yul Green

Just another whiskey bar.

Teresa Burr

Good dive bar, great for soccer on a early Saturday morning.

schetrone collier

Went here with some coworkers had a good time the drinks were reasonably priced and it was a very good atmosphere they do have live bands from time to time

Marianne Gendron

Lots of TVs to watch all different types of sports! However the AC was too cold...

Chris Morgan

Great little bar for whiskey. Many choices and knowledgeable bartenders who make good suggestions for noobs. Even on Thanksgiving Day after a hard Lions loss, the crowd was jovial. If ever at Eastern Market, it's worth the walk across the freeway for a sit down and drink, and maybe order in some food too.

Mike Pate

Attentive bartenders and strong drinks

Stephen Collins

Awesome staff awesome drink selection

Robert Creque

Great friendly people

Jake Ottino

Very friendly customers and staff, they make everyone feel welcome from the moment they walk through the door.

Rick Truhol

Love the place...

O. Evans II

Not sure!

Bobby8351 Watson

I experienced a lot of fun here

Rich Basher

Lots of Whiskey choices (except for Jameson) and beer available. Only place for live soccer and rugby.

Jason Evans

I've never been to this place. I just stopped by to inform you that you have made the front page of Reddit! Someone posted the review and response from 6 months ago where the lady sat at the table uninvited, and then ON the table to the r/quityourbullshit sub and it made it to the top! Enjoy the free publicity!

Richard Boland

An awesome bar to catch the match. As a soccer fan, it's the place to be in Detroit. Also, a great selection of drinks. Oh and you have to try the Irish coffee!

Roy Privatte Jr.

I was only there for 30 minutes but never seen wait staff. Took my business elsewhere.

Latoya Bournes-Curtis

No specials for st Patty's but good drinks

Joe Zawol

A wonderful cozy bar, definitely thumbs up

dana harris

Reggae and Rum night a very good night!

Gotta stop in here when in Eastern Market! Great Staff. Always something going on here. Detroit's greatest DJs spin here all the time.

Joshua Cole

Good beer selection

Yigal Alalouf

Loud, dingy and unfriendly

Jacob Zang

Great place with great people! If you are in Detroit and are an LFC supporter you must stop in on match day!

Traviss Dorris

If your looking for a place to watch soccer in Detroit this is your spot

James Merriweather

Great place. The only gripe I had was when this crying chick named Shelley came over and disrupted my group's conversation and sat on our table, but the awesome staff got her to leave. Would definitely come back and recommend to anyone and everyone.

4 Divas Only Fashion

Need to serve food. Great DJ

Nolan Dingwall

Always great boose, and atmosphere.

Nicholas Wisniske

Best place in Metro Detroit to watch a sporting event. Cool atmosphere, near everything, and never too busy. Plus they're open early for World Cup matches.

Kristen Howard

Really cool bar with friendly ownership and lots of different theme nights for a variety of crowds.

Joshua Wiegand

Had an excellent experience here. The bar keep was friendly, I enjoyed the overall vibe. I'm from Minneapolis, and visit Detroit a few times a year and this is always on my "to do" list...

Isha M

Great place especially on Tuesdays when you can listen to the hip hop acoustic guitar player Me and Joe Smith just awesome

Haku Nippon

Great bar, cool atmosphere. Check out saints anarchy

Handle Barbarian

This is a classic Detroit area bar. Soup of the day, every day, is Whiskey. Standard bar drinks and beer, and no food menu. Not... necessarily a bad thing, as there are all KINDS of fantastic places you can grab food from and bring in to enjoy. (Good place for a Detroit Roller Derby afterparty - though usually it feels a bit understaffed for such events - though, though, I have yet to go to an afterparty and have it feel like the bar was unprepared for 100 extra people in the span of half an hour) I go there to have a quiet beverage away from the trendy crowd.

Alexander H. Trice

Amazing bar for British beer, Irish beer, and Irish whiskey. As well as all sports, Cricket, soccer and rugby included. Friendly barstaff, owner, and they host a nice variety of events as well as sponsor local youth boxing events.

Patrick Caputo

More Irish Pub than Sports Bar.

Boris Nisnevich

One of my favorite bars in all of Detroit. Cold beer and a friendly staff. They have every sports package you can think of for their TVs.

Bill Blass

Went to a great comedy show featuring Lindsey Shaw, and other Chicago comics. It was amazing! Parking is available and free. Venue is chill with good crowd--multi cultural and welcoming. Bartenders make good pours, and pricing is fair. Tv Screens featured the Tigers (who lost--again!) Overall--great experience!

outeast

Took my group with my since it seemed like a decent place to chill. Had a good overall experience apart from the fact that a random woman decided to sit at our table. Luckily, after the manager saw the discomfort on our faces he told her to leave, she then proceeded to sit on our table. Nevertheless, great experience.

Char

Great atmosphere. If want a different game it is possible to put on a different tv, but not the main tv with sound.

Chrissy Toppin

Erik is the best. Great whiskey selection. Awesome tunes and fun folks. Had some kickass social sushi last night. Chill vibes.

Edward Maddox

Hard to find but a cool bar.

Michael Stephens

Great drinks and staff.

Ganj Beebani

Went here a couple of times and liked the ambiance: it's a sports bar but it's quiet enough to carry out a conversation without yelling. Whiskey and beer selection is decent, but they didn't have PBR! How could they've ever run out of that?!

Eric C

Though TVs were tuned to the game, there was only one person working on a Saturday afternoon making service painfully slow. On top of that, she had no idea what beers she had on tap.

william booker

Best bar in town

Deborah Williams

Beautiful place , good service would definitely go again

Mark Shearer

Great beers . Good prices

Chris Crugher

No complaints, got rained out from work at went in, was not busy at the time but enjoyed it.

Dusty Sheckles

This bar is great. Was there Saturday night and the bartender was working alone and did an amazing job handling the crowd. Good dive bar atmosphere without dive bar pitfalls .

Paul N.

Soup of the day is your mom.

Andrew Winter

THE PLACE to watch the Premier League in Detroit.

Irene Walker

Great pub located in eastern market. It's one of the few places I can get a bottle of magners cider.

Rashard Montgomery

Great spot cool crowd and great service.

Joshua West

Amazing staff, incredible sports bar, atmopshere and events are beyond what you can find in most bars in Detroit. Not to mention, the greatest bartenders and most knowledgeable whiskey owner in all of SE Michigan. Ever need to check out a football match? This is your spot. Open early on Saturday and Sundays just for the matches, with an incredible cheering crowd. Need some afternoon drinking or fundays? Here you go. Cheers Eric, you have done an outstanding job.
