Maker's Mark on the rocks. The "rocks" cost an extra $2. Bring your own ice.

A nicer version of a dive bar, with everything clean and in good condition. Staff is nice, small tap list. Small sidewalk patio area. Sports TVs.Parking is an issue, very limited Woodward parking otherwise parking down a long side street.

Great old bar just outside the downtown area. This review has to be 85 characters so I'll tell you my bartender was Courtney. I think she's new but she was amazing.

I like New Way for a couple reasons. You can find free parking, the drinks/prices are not too expensive, and they have games! My personal favorite is the clown game, where you throw ball and knock down the clowns. In the past, I'd also been when they had live music and I never recall having to pay cover for those shows. And the bathrooms have always been clean when I was there.

Excellent shirley temples, tasty cherry, and I don't know what brand of grenadine is being used, but it was fantastic. Music was great and I thought it was cool the DJ was using actual vinyl!

Was our first time back since we moved away so we had to go back to our favorite bar. I don't where Langston has been but we wish he was there forever. Service was out of this world, and we really appreciate the magic tricks and bar entertainment! We haven't had so much fun popping in somewhere for a drink in a while. 100% go here and hopefully you have Langston as you bartender

New Way, what's not to love. Ok if you enjoy a good dive bar, you'll love New Way. First off they seem to find the best bartenders, they're great. Good service, hard working and just make my beer drinking experience more enjoyable. They usually have a few interesting craft beers on tap that I enjoy, usually Kuhnhenn dripa. Also a pool table that's always hustling, they put up a ping pong table someone, have electronic darts, and a bunch of other games stuffed in the corner. As well as some live local bands, and my favorite part the patio with the big sun chairs on it. Love it, drink a beer watch the cars on Woodward chill inside, talk to the always interesting locals. To go to Ferndale New Way.

Nice collection of games. The draft beer is poor . I didn't try the food as the music was so loud I had to put in ear plugs and headphones over that .Cool vibe to the place but I won't be going back .

I have only been here once with my college friend that lives in Fdale, he likes sitting or standing out on their patio and people watching on Woodward. If it's warm outside and there's room out on the patio and not too much smoke, it's not too bad hanging out here. It's a bit north from the core of downtown ferndale. It's a very casual and laid back bar. Old school looking inside as well. They do have some decent draft beers, ping pong tables, darts as well.

I had a burger and it was good, however the service was not good! I walked in and everyone looked up at me with fear! Was looking at me like I was going to rob the place! I don't understand why people are so rude to new customers! The tension in there was so thick you could cut it with a knife. The lady that cooked my burger, I had to really watch her to make sure she didn't spit on it something. She kept looking at me with a strange look on her face!! Like I was creeping her out! Just a real cold vibe to me and I really pay attention to vibes. It's like we don't want any new customers we like to just keep the same old customers we already have!! This is becoming a trend and it's a problem for me. I really don't get it what's wrong with new customers??? Anyway don't worry (new way) I'm not returning so y'all can relax!!!
