Gaelic League Irish American Club

I was there for our work holiday party. The service and the drinks were excellent and they were an awesome host!

Great, authentic Irish spot. It is a club that requires an annual membership, but at only $25 a year the well priced drinks, live music without a cover, and free passage in on parade day and St. Patrick's day more than makes up for the up front free.

What else is there to say, pay the yearly fee, give to all of their charitable causes and enjoy an amazing group of people. The staff was cool as S#%T and the band was great... I am glad we visited during semi-post covid to enjoy the atmosphere of a Corktown staple.

My favorite bar and gathering place in all of Detroit. It's like a party in your own basement bar or a quiet talk with a friend in a familiar place, depending on the day/night. The staff are incredibly kind, like being served by an aunt or a friend. The music is always the best Irish bands around. I love this place. My husband and I have been members for years. Best Guinness pour I've ever had.

I absolutely love this place. Sure, it's not the snazziest bar I've ever been to, and there's not a huge list of beers on tap-- but who cares when the ambiance and company couldn't possibly get any better?It's not fancy, but what it lacks in pzazz, it more than makes up for in charm. It's dark and feels a little bit like an old Irish farm house, but there's a large bookshelf and quiet places to chat, or you can gather around tables or sit at the bar. There's fantastic live music every weekend and once a month a trivia game/pot-luck. It's a great, great place to spend time, and I love it dearly.

Great music, warm friendly service. A full bar.Stepped in to use their ATM machine (they buzz you in - or not - from an electronically locked door), but the sombre, faux-nationalist crooning of the mandolin player in the front won me over and I stayed for a quick round to listen with about 6 others at the bar. The interiors are dark and woody, like you'd imagine an old Irish pub to be. The bar staff was really smiley and nice. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. I wonder what it looks like when it's crowded (if ever), but with just a few people there, it was kind of the perfect spot to down some whiskey and reflect on the spaces each of us has left behind, however near or distant. (for me, it was LJ's lounge, where I had an open tab but no cash, hence the walk down to the Gaelic League.)

Yes it's a club but $20 will get you a membership and that will get you in for free on parade and St. Patrick's Day

If you're looking for an Irish pub, this is the real deal. Great Irish music on the weekends, Irish ceili dancing on Friday nights (and everyone's welcome to watch or join in if you dare), and they even have a pub quiz (trivia quiz) once a month, too. The place is steeped in Irish culture. Come on down for a pint. You'll have a great time and you might learn something about Ireland while you're there, too.

I was there on an extremely busy night. They let way too many people in. I'm sure they were way over fire code capacity. There was no soap in the restroom. For a while, women were using the men's restroom and their boyfriends were guarding the men's room door so men would not enter. The line at the bar was at least 10 minutes.

Great ambience, pleasant atmosphere, great fireplace to get warmed up. Fun and enjoyable place to be.
