The Buhl Bar — Restaurant in Detroit

Very disappointed. I read good things about this bar and several bartenders from NYC recommended. We got there, asked at the bar where we should order. We were told to sit, we waited for fifteen minutes. Other people received their drinks. The bar tender was fairly preoccupied entertaining two other bartenders that were off for the night. I went back up to the bar and asked if I should wait or place an order, I placed an order. Again I watched the bar tender entertaining her colleagues. I waited with the rest of my friends for another fifteen minutes. I walked back to the bar, and was asked what can I get for you? I said we had already and we waited for over half an hour and she just shrugged and gave me a condescending look. We left. Zero interest in the customer. Instead we went to Bad Luck Bar...

Since I was out and about I decided to try this spot out for the first time. It was me (by myself)and maybe 6 other people present in the bar. The bartender looked me dead in my eyes... no greeting. I sat at the end of the bar, a few minutes go by and then a few more. I continue to wait. Bartender finally approaches me I ask what type of Bourbon was available. He then turns and points to the wall and says "this is all Bourbon" and walks away. Doesn't offer me a menu or ask what I typically drink. Two other ladies walk in and he simply puts a smile on his face goes to their table and begins chit chatting. Says nothing else to me. I politely get up and leave. If the staff cant simply be polite or attempt to offer decent service, I'll take my money elsewhere. Will never patronize this...

What a find! I recently stumbled upon a true gem of a bar, and I can't recommend it enough. This cozy spot instantly won me over with its fantastic trifecta of great bourbon, excellent prices, and superb service. The bourbon selection was impressive, especially for a smaller establishment. I found some old favorites and even discovered a new pour, all at prices that were incredibly reasonable – a welcome change from many other bars these days. But what truly set this place apart was the service. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, making the entire experience feel welcoming and relaxed. If you're a bourbon aficionado or just looking for a low-key spot with a great atmosphere and even better value, do yourself a favor and check this place out. You won't be...
