Whiskey in the Jar

We kicked off our annual Fat Tuesday celebration at Whiskey in a Jar. We usually start off at the New Doge and enjoy the Polish Muslims but they weren't playing there this year. Instead we got to enjoy The Kielbasa Kings! What a fun time!! I was super excited because we haven't been able to enjoy this celebration since pre-covid! But we are baaaaaaccckkk! As usual, we arrived early in the morning. And were one of the first there. We kicked it off with Polish beer and some shots. One of the guys that played in the band went to my highschool and his sister and I know each other so that was a fun surprise! They had a huge tent set up where the band was playing. They made both bathrooms female and brought in a porta potty for the guys. The removed all the furniture so it was standing room only. We got our polka on and had a great time! Great start to the day!!

This place checks all the boxes of a good time. Katie, the bartender, was very nice and accommodating. Great music. Check out the cool stickers

This is one great dive bar. Tons of character, cheap booze, a not so fancy but still pretty great patio out back, etc. It's not fancy here. This is not where you'll get a real upscale craft cocktail or microbrew but the beverages are cold and the price point is right (aka--low). And on Paczki day? It's a real party! They set up a tent and it's chock full of paczki shots! And polka music! And kielbasa and pierogi! And of course, all the Tyskie and Okocim you can handle. Na zdrowie!

Solid dive bar alert! Ahhh, nothing's better than heading to your local dive, cracking a cold one and sitting on a back patio. I got a strange Doghead sour beer that I didn't love (tried to go local and then found out it wasn't), but the atmosphere of the place was classic and great. The owner talked with dry sarcasm and had a casual demeanor that matched the vibe of the small bar. They do a lot of canned drinks, as well as mixed liquor drinks too. Not sure if they serve any snacks (guess is no).We sat down on the small back patio and enjoyed being outside (almost felt like we were at someone's house) after a day of hard work. It was great!

I was first customer of the day. I had a plan to bounce around to local bars and abandoned that plan once I sat down at Whiskey in the Jar. Very friendly and fun regulars. The bartender Kate from NYC was a pleasure to meet. I will visit this place again next time. Don't believe the weirdos on here hating on this place. Five star!

I love Hamtramck and its bars, but this is my least favorite Hamtramck bar. No service complaints, but this bar simply smells poor. It's not like that stale up north bar smell or divey beer smell. Can't pin down the smell, but the place does not smell clean and makes me want to leave. I feel sick in this place.

One of the best dive bars I've ever been to! I've had some of the best nights of my life here! The bartenders are great!! The atmosphere is great as well! Spent many weekends here and had a blast! Make sure to write your name on the wall in the bathroom and pose by it for a pic I met a lot of cool people here and continue to frequent this place. If your in the Hamtramck area make sure to check this bar out!!!!

By far one of the best bars in Hamtramck!!! I would highly recommend you stop in and give it a try! The music is awesome just like the bartenders! Always have a friendly smile on their face. When I was a intern in Hamtramck I went here every Friday and Saturday night. Some of the best times of my life! Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself!

Excellent dive bar, just off the downtown strip. Tiny place with broken tile floor, single pool table, chachki-filled bar, cheap drinks, and decent selection of craft beers. This bar is a block from Polish Village Cafe. We stepped in to have a drink while waiting for our party for dinner. Good choice of craft beers for a reasonable price. The regulars were getting an eye full of the strangers that were sitting in the corner, but if you aren't shy and don't mind the looks then it's definitely a beer whiskey dive bar and about the only place to grab a drink in the area. It's very small and the bar seating was full. There are a few tables too. I think they have food. I saw something about beignets on the wall. TVs are big and one viewable from each seat.

Actually affordable drinks, nice staff, relaxed environment. Will be coming back often.
