First of all, when I walked in, I was not greeted by any of the staff. So, I found a table near the dart board to play darts with a friend. This bar was SO quiet. (any bar this busy on a Saturday night, should not be) I then put my money in the jukebox ($2), and when my first song did not play, I let the bartender know. She said shed turn it on right away. She did not. It stayed silent. We then put money in the dart game ($2). It would not work at all, though it was on and lit up. We spent $10 for two beers already, so we finished them. We let the bartender know that we still had heard zero songs and did not get to play our game. With attitude and complete hesitation, she gave me $2 back. What??? Then a waitress asked me what the problem was and I explained that we had paid for things we did not get to enjoy and we received only half of our cash back. She looked at me like she hated me and told the table next to me, "oh god, Im not even supposed to be here tonight!" She left, never came back, and so we left. It is not the $2, but the fact that we had such little respect and were BARELY EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED. This was our first visit to the bar and we wont be back. Just know... if they would have acknowledged us, apologized, and given us our measly $4 back, WE WOULD HAVE STAYED AND HAD ANOTHER ROUND WHILE PLAYING THAT MONEY IN THE TOUCHSCREEN GAME. Hello?!? I work in the industry and I was horrified by this bars service!

Came here for lunch as I am in town for a conference this week and the reviews were high. I was not disappointed. This is a bar so if you are looking for a fancy sit down this is not it but i knew what it was so I was not disappointed. The server Carrie, was extremely friendly to me and made me feel welcome even though I think I was the only non local/regular in the place. She instantly suggested a cheese soup that was amazing. The menu is full of lunch specials and it is hard to decide what to get but for probably 15 meals under 6 bucks anyone on a budget can find something they like. I had a texas chicken wrap and it was delicious and filled me up for the rest of the day. Food was great, service was perfect, atmosphere was good. What else can you want out of lunch? I will be back later this week.

Great karaoke on Friday nights. They have everything from Nancy Sinatra, to violent femmes, to R. Kelly. Drinks are on point. But god damn the wait staff sucks, our table was abandoned and we went to the bar to try to close our tab and they told us we couldnt, we had to find our waitress, but she was no where to be found so we finally found a waitress who would let us cash out so we could leave. But dammit Ill be back for the karaoke.

Can I choose negative stars?? Total joke when it comes to steak and bar service. I never leave bad reviews or send food back. Waited tables for ten years myself, she could have cared less. Bar atmosphere, great. Fried foods, fine. But if u want a steak thats not grey... Go someplace else. Terrible.

I drove by this place so many times with no interest of stopping. We have been back several times after we finally did. Great value on the food and they serve a pretty mean drink. This may be a case of expectations being low but I love this place.

Came here for karaoke. I do not drink so I cannot say about their alcohol. They have good appetizers. Nice setup for karaoke. There was an amazing amount of people and I parked like 3 businesses down, but I had a great time. Will come back again!

My husband took me there, he knows a lot of the patrons, staff and owners. I was immediately made to feel like a member of the family. The best long island ice teas , and great entertainment, food, and all around great place go.

All the regulars are creepy dudes in their 70s that walk around trying to grope anything and everything that moves. And if they dont move... Grope until they do. Almost forgot... The bathrooms are like 3 x 8

Really good food... Especially for a bar/grill. I have only been here once, but it was the best Hani Ive ever had. My husband had the Gyro, and enjoyed it. Definitely going back!

Good food, always well-made cocktails, and nice staff. Its always busy enough to make it feel full but never so busy that you dont get hood service.

Karaoke, sticky tables, bad service, no room to walk, gross bathrooms, and mixed drinks taste like theres barely any alcohol in them.

Surprisingly good food and 50 cent wings when the tigers and Redwings play are a draw.

Decent beer selection. Usually pretty busy on the weekends. Karaoke can be loud.
