Sweetwater Tavern

My youngest son and I arrived at the Sweetwater Tavern around 2:30 on a Sunday afternoon with the Lions playing at home. We were promptly seated.Most of the bar (employees too) were enjoying the Lions game. That didnt deter from the service. The menu was extensive but I had to land on the wings, since that's what they were known for.Wings were very meaty, tasty, and recognition was well deserved. Fries were seasoned perfectly. Our waitress was extremely nice.Overall if you are in Motown you need to go to the Sweetwater Tavern. It's a great vibe with great food options and service! I'll definitely return.

I got there and there was a crowd almost out the door of folks waiting to get in. I waited for a while before I realized I could sit at the bar with no wait, so that's exactly what I did. I ordered some wings and a side of Mac and cheese, and a vodka cranberry. Everything was delicious, including the drink. The wings were big and meaty. If they had only table/booth seating available and no bar, I would have definitely left, so I'm really grateful for the bar. The bartender wasn't overly attentive but was pleasant, and like I said, the place was packed so I'm sure she was stressed. I would definitely come back next time I'm in Detroit.

Wings lived up to the hype. They were perfectly seasoned and charred. The place is classic tavern vibes in the heart of Detroit. Recommend getting here early for lunch on the weekends bc it gets busy. The rib tips were also decent and came with a really good side of coleslaw and toast.

This place is great. Love my fish and chips. Also got greens and mac and cheese. Love the atmosphere especially late at night. Come here for some good food and vibes

My wife went with fish (not her favorite a little to grease) and chips. While I decided on the best wings in Detroit. The wings are awesome!!! This is not a Military friendly restaurant. It's not a bad place just felt super rushed to eat and get out!!!

Little hole in the wall tavern a quick walk from the river walk and hart plaza. Came here for the NFL draft and oh my goodness did they fill up QUICK! if there is an event downtown and you plan to come here, I recommend getting there early. Bartender and staff were excellent, especially at getting tables cleared off so the line wasn't too bad. The Cobb salad was to die for and my brother highly recommended the wings! Street and garage parking available.

There are not a lot of options for late night dining on a Sunday in Detroit and we almost passed up on coming here. We were thinking that the kitchen was already closed for the night but were pleasantly surprised when they said that they were still serving food.When you think of a tavern you think of burgers and bar food not ribs, pulled pork, collards and mac n cheese. lol I was hesitant about the ribs but I have been craving me some ribs lately. I asked our server if she could choose between the ribs and the Reuben which would she go with and she didn't hesitate when answering ribs. I am so glad I went with the ribs. They were the most tender ribs I have ever had. The meat literally came off the bones clean. They were so flavorful and the sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. The mac and cheese was so freaking good. It reminded me so much of the mac n cheese my mom made growing up. I really enjoyed the greens as they had really good flavor but way too many rib pieces for my liking. The hubs had the Big Pig with coleslaw. He said that the pulled pork was really tender and flavorful but after trying my ribs, he would have gone with the ribs over the sandwich. lolThis place is not one to sleep on. We saw several people who had ordered the wings and the meat was just falling off the bones. Everything we saw coming out of the kitchen looked so good. We will definitely be back here the next time we are in town visiting family.

My coworker and I stopped in here while visiting from California. We enjoyed the burger and steak bites. Unfortunately didn't try the famous wings. We'll have to come back! Delicious food and nostalgic ambiance.

Came here for dinner after hearing about the amazing wings so had to try. They only come in 1 flavor which is very mild spicy. Overall a bit disappointing, portion was OK but smallish wings. Wish they had different flavors as mine were not spicy at all and felt a little dry due to lack of sauce. Would not recommend.

Worst customer service. Can never get an order right. Cortez needs to be fired. Both this location and he was at Eastpointe location. When he works he never answers the phone. Long wait times. Don't bother doing call in the wont answer!Asked for Sauce on the side they still put sauce on it
