Checker Bar & Grill

Checker Bar & Grill Restaurant Review

The original owner of this downtown bar and grill also once ran the city's Checker Cab Company, hence the bar's name. It's jammed every lunch hour during the week with lawyers and government workers who roll in from the nearby city and county offices. Known for having some of the best burgers in Detroit, that's what Checker does best. Try one with homemade chili or blue cheese, or pile your own...

Comfort foods mingle with upscale pallets in this favorite Detroit hangout.

You’ll wake up from a 16-year-old wet dream about the cute girl in class, stumble downstairs for sugary cereal, and find your father standing next to the fridge, shirtless, holding the carcass of a chicken that he is cleaning off with his...

After purchasing the restaurant from the original family, Tharp and Gregory have put forth a profound effort to breathe life back into this classic Detroit establishment. Think: historic tin ceilings, graffiti murals by local legends, restored brick walls and funky retro kitchen objects you forgot you missed so much.

While their boozy ice cream cocktail menu is coming soon, the kitchen is...

Molly Abraham: For nearly 50 years, through good years and bad, the Munro family has presided over a downtown bar serving a quintessential Detroit hamburger. Now it's been sold, and is under renovation. Watch for a reopening

The owner 'Karen' is great and a excellent wine connoiseur (she is a student of the craft) and loves teaching the fine art of wine tasting. The bar/restorant has a great lengthy history in the city of Detriot. It possesses a comfortable atmosphere where you can feel welcome no matter who you are or how your dressed. I highly reccomend it. Alex
