Andrews On the Corner

Asked for a vodka martini and the bartender if you want to call him that just poured vodka into a small glass. This will make for a great story in laziness!!

I would love to give Andrew's more stars. Well, I'm actually adding a star for the wonderful waitress.I can't recall her name, but she was very warm and hospitable.We sat outside for appetizers and drinks before a concert down the block. In fact, we paid to park in their lot for the show. It was super convenient and only $10.I didn't have a chance to go inside. Therefore, I can't offer any review on the interior.The drink that I ordered, an Old Fashioned, was ok. What I didn't care for at all were the pretzels with cheese.They reminded me of something one would order at a block party or small fair.The "cheese" was that bright yellowish orange stuff one would find in a can. It tasted like metal and was overall a complete turn-off.The table we sat at was next to a sewer grate. The smell made it a super short visit.

An excellent classic bar near the river a short trip from downtown. My fiance and I visited last year while on a Detroit adventure. We sat at the bar for a drink and had a great conversation with the friendly bartender (I can't remember her name).A great historic bar worth a stop if you like historic bars or great dive bars.

Went to Andrew's with my Mom and I thought it was fantastic. We both had the Perch and it was some of the best Perch I've had in Detroit. It was also relatively well priced. The perch was fresh and flaky and the batter on it was tasty, and not to thick so it could interact well with the lemon. I also had the Clam Chowder and that was excellent as well. It was freshly made (which isn't always the case) and wasn't overrun by potatoes like many other iterations. Tom is the Owner and he's a great guy. He checked to make sure everything was up to snuff and our waitress was incredibly attentive. Combine that with the awesome riverside atmosphere and you have an amazing spot for lunch and drinks. Great job!

Yelp to the rescue! Nate and I were in the area looking for some food and drinks before a show at the Aretha Franklin Amphitheatre down the street. I hopped on Yelp and this place came up. I gave them a call to confirm they were open (highly recommend for small family owned spots like this) and indeed they were - score. I asked if they had on street parking and the bartender told me they have their own private lot - double score!We pulled in to the private lot and the owner was out there letting people know they couldn't park there for the concert. No worries for us, and we appreciated the heads up. We walked in through the back and got seated right away - it wasn't too busy yet around 5 pm on a Tuesday. It got quite a bit busier as we were leaving with lots of concertgoers. The tap list was more extensive than I was expecting, which was nice for Nate. The food menu was pretty basic bar fare; wings, sandwiches, burgers, and fried food baskets. No complaints here, it was just what we were looking for. The whole place gives a very Birch Lodge vibe, for any Grand Rapidians reading this. I ordered the chicken tenders and Nate got the corner club.Our food came out super quickly which was appreciated, as we were both pretty hungry. The chicken tenders were not quite what I was expecting; they looked like long chicken nuggets that you'd get at a school cafeteria. And that's basically what they were. But I am being 100% honest when I say I loved them! Probably a bit of a nostalgia factor there. They were super hot and fresh, and the fries were too. The club was stacked and had fresh lettuce and tomato and perfectly crispy bacon. We couldn't complain about these simple bar meals. Our bartender was super slammed at this point but was doing a great job keeping up. The owner also stopped by our table to chat with us and was greeting everyone as they came in.This is a great spot for a pre-game meal or post-game drink. They do have some outdoor seating on the sidewalk in front which is nice. I'd come back!

A friend from out of town recommended this pub. Right by the river. Bar food was very good & would recommend their "famous" lake Erie perch sandwhich. Stick to beer and wine when ordering alcoholic beverages, so to minimize chances of being disappointed with a cocktail that may not be your liking. The service was good, but Staff can be overwhelmed if it gets too busy. (Expected during these times.) Met friendly owner who said business had been in the family over 100 years!!! Now that's saying something.

The perfect dive in on the river walk that I was hoping to find!!! Amazing prices for drinks and good food every time I've stopped in. TV's to watch football and a great environment to hang out and grab a bite to eat in.

Went here on a trip to Detroit on the recommendation of a local. It was a great spot. Everyone was friendly, the drinks were well made and the location is right off the river walk. Hit up this long time family owned joint when you get a chance

Food and service were great! Had perch and it was delicious and fresh.. service was great for our large party! Thank you

Food and service are consistent. Open on Sunday when most restaurants are closed. Nice outdoor seating with fun people watching
