Best KPortal Reviews

Came here on New Years Eve. The place was dead, but based on the reviews that was not surprising. We went in well aware of the bad reviews, but figured we could buy a drink and sit at a table. No way an experience that basic could be ruined right? Downtown was so loud and busy that I wouldn't have even minded waiting a few minutes for the bartender to notice and sell us a drink. We get the bar and are helped immediately. I order a beer and my wife orders a double vodka. They put two shots of Ciroc in it and charged $18 for the drink despite us asking for no such thing. It's New Years Eve, I get it, not going to fight with them about it. We go and sit down and not even 10 minutes later the other bartender walks up and accuses of of not paying. Walks back 2 minutes later and gets loud and makes a fuss. We held our ground and she backed off, but at that point we just slammed our drinks and left.
Moral of this story? This place is hot garbage and should be avoided by everyone, even if you just want a cheap drink. This place needs to just quietly die and be replaced with a tenant that respects it's customers. There is no redeeming service this deceptive and awful, they are trained to do what they were doing on New Years Eve.
Honestly was not that great of an experience unfortunately. The food and service just was not up to par. Really like the set up though and the way they rep our teams out here in Detroit. Lots of cool art and a nice setting just really needs to fix the service side of things. Order was wrong and everything...
Came here for a beer before the Lions game. Asked for two buckets, realized we only needed one. So I asked for one. Beers were not cracked open. No big deal. However, Bartender didn’t even fill the bucket with ice. Bartender got extremely mad at me for asking for one bucket. Sorry, I work in customer service and I wouldn’t get pissed at Customer if they change their mind. Very rude place. Would not return. I tipped 30% because I felt bad for the guy. Tired of the attitude at food establishments and lack of professionalism.
The experience was AMAZING. Clyde, the cook in photo, cooks the BEST WINGS!! Lemon pepper and garlic parm, is the best to ask for. Although the wing quantity is small, it's totally worth it. The staff was the best, Tamara and Ellie B was very tentative. We flew here for wu tang concert which was postponed unfortunately, but this restaurant made my husband's night by playing all the wu tang hits. The vibe is super cool and family oriented.
5$ well shots, 5$ white claws. AMAZING mozzarella sticks. I went during a drag bingo hosted by Zooey Gaychanel which was super fun. Don’t think they host there anymore, but it was still cute.
Ordered the Detroit Philly Cheesesteak sandwich and homemade fries. It was superb, fresh and hot. Customer service is exceptional. Had a beer afterwards. Rt around the corner from me... yayyy
Horrible experience here! Go somewhere else like brass rail or literally anywhere else walking distance. Theres way too many bars in Detroit for a place to be so uptight
Cool location with a porch. Food was fast and good. I tried the parm fries. I recommend them. Pretty sure I chatted with the whole crew, they were friendly and present.
