North Bar & Grille

Sitting at the bar on a Monday....Chicken wings are small but tasty, Alfredo fries are good, steak bites are well worth the price!!!! Service is decent. It's 10 TVs and the music is 4 notches too loud. But drinks are free poured soooo.....let's go!!!! They are open til midnight on weekdays so if you're in the Southfield/ Farmington Hills/ West Bloomfield area swing by....

Pros: * black owned* open everyday (even Mondays!)* late night hours * daily food and drink specials* fun bartenders* delicious food* great pours* tequila flights* nice big screen TVs* $3.99 wings on Wednesdays! * comedy club inside* social media page advertises specials Cons:* shared parking lot fills up fast * service is hit or miss* kitchen is slow sometimes * they occasionally run out of some food items * regular menu not available on themed days

Expensive ass drinks and not a big selection at all food or drink wise. Little hole in the wall.

North Bar was good I originally went for lamb chops and found out they only serve them on Monday's! I was so upset! But the wings were so good! It was their special for the day and they didn't disappoint they are grilled wings definitely different than anywhere else in the city! The corned beef sliders were okay but nothing crazy! The Alfredo fries gave you a little room to want more and didn't disappoint. Good I highly recommend as for drinks 36 dollars for 3 drinks during happy hour is extremely wild to me! It's a good vibe and a spot you should check out.

The wait time, service and overall experience was TERRIBLE. They had two young ladies taking orders as well as making drinks and the venue was very busy. It was also very disorganized and not very well kept. They have to do a better job. I think people want to come out and have a great time but the tone was not set.

I met 2 of my friends here for a quick St. Patty's Day drink. Upon entering, the security guard informed me they was a 50% capacity limit and then proceeded to search my bag. This place is small, you can literally see everyone from his security guard chair, why was this necessary? That was the first indication that I should've left and told my friends to call when they left. But I went in. My friends ordered sliders and wings. They also had drinks. They liked the green tea shot but didn't like any other drinks. I can't comment on the food or drinks bc the waitress never took my order, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The one waitress was working all the tables and proceeded to pull her mask down to talk to customers. After sitting there for 25 mins with no service ( couldn't even get a cup of water), I noticed the place appeared to be packed beyond the 50% capacity limit. After flagging down the waitress, my friends were finally able to pay their bill (an expensive bill at that. Order of sliders, wings, fries, 2 cocktails was over $80! They automatically added the gratuity, which was good for the waitress with the sub par service), we left. I'm straight on this place. It was too crowded and too small. The service was awful and the food didn't look that good.

A hidden gem!! I only stopped in here to experience drinks by Six8bartend....so happy I finally did. Well let me get the bad out first then we can get to the good stuff. So this spot unfortunately is placed within The Punchline Comedy Club which shares the same parking lot as Duo's Night Club. If you are familiar with this area you already know depending on the day and time parking can be a nightmare. Anywho, even though they are within the comedy club even if they are closed you can still come to the bar and grille which offers inside and patio eating and drinking which I love.So once inside it did take a minute to get serviced but once the waitress came she was very attentive and she apologized several times for the long wait which I appreciated. The bad part was she didn't offer any of their specials(which I knew of because I follow them on social media). It was ok because I knew they had pretty awesome drinks anyway, I was hesitant to order at first because I didn't see Six8 but once I did I knew I had hit the jackpot. I ordered the Boblo Island and my husband ordered the Golden 38 which were both EXCELLENT. This was a Wednesday evening and the crowd seemed more younger than what we like but it was ok with the music playing and the patio doors open. They do have a full menu which I believe is the same food that is served at the comedy club, we didn't order food but the menu did look tempting. I will go back on another day one to have food and more drinks and to see if the crowd is different(more of a 30 plus crowd).

Another addition to the lack luster night scene in Southfield. Although I'm oh so grateful this place has opened next to my favorite bar which makes it easy to bar hop I just hate it shares parking with 2 other venues. As you may read in another review the parking is atrocious. My cousin and I took our happy tails to happy hour on a Friday and was greeted by our server Nikki who explained happy hour and the menu. We already knew we were ordering the lobster fries. We also ordered sliders: catfish, salmon, and crab cake. My favorite is the catfish slider. After the first round of food and the second drinks we ordered wings and quesadilla. There was a long wait for our food. I don't eat chicken but my cousin sent it back for being too salty. She had lemon pepper and buffalo mixed. Nikki brought back buffalo alone and she was pleased. I didn't care too much for the quesadilla. It lacked quesa in the dilla (flavor). If you are going to order food, make sure that you get your order in before the comedy show starts. Because Punchlineline and North share the same kitchen you will wait a long time for your food. That didn't stop us from coming back a few days later for drinks. We just didn't order food.

I have a love hate relationship about this place. I love the happy hour specials and the food prices but I hate the service and the set up I also don't like the way Thee present their drinks. The service is always very slow and the waitress often have attitudes. The chairs are very uncomfortable their tinny and not made for bigger booty's. Parking is a nightmare on the weekends because it shares a parking lot with two other bars and valet is $10. The drink presentation is terrible they often serve drinks in little clear plastic cups and don't even fill the drinks all they way up and the drinks look nothing how they do on their Instagram page. The food is good and their north wings and catfish sliders are my favorite they also have good fries. The drinks are strong I just don't like how they put themIn plastic cups but they have many $5 drink options during happy hour.

I meant to write this review like 4 months ago but never got around to it until now. To start off, I try my best to fully support black businesses. I'm a proud black business owner and I know how hard it is to stay in business. With that being said, this was my first and last time going to this establishment. My coworker got promoted so we all decided to go out and celebrate before the memorial day weekend. She suggested this place so we all agreed to go here. First of all, it was a group of 8 or 9 people that went. All of the men were searched which told me automatically what kind of neighborhood this is. We all sat down and ordered drinks and food. The menu is really small so I expected the food to come out rather fast. Nope. It took almost an hour to get our food which consisted of fries and wings.....literally. The thing about it is that only four of us ordered food. Also, when our waitress brought our drinks out she spilled a bunch of it on the table and didn't clean it up. SMHThe food was good, no doubt, but the customer service was seriously lacking. Another problem I had was the bathroom. I went to use the urinal and it was a big hole in the wall staring back at me. Either somebody punched the wall or they didn't finish it. On top of that their was no soap and barely any paper towel in the bathroom. When we got our bill we were charged for drinks that we didn't order and disputed the charges. All and all it was bad overall experience and I wont be coming back.
