Eden East

Drove by this place hundreds of times since I've moved to the area. Decided to finally pop in this weekend for a drink and it was a fantastic time! First off, the bar is pristine including the bathrooms. Something you don't generally get from a dive bar. In fact I hesitate to call it a dive bar. I believe the term "small bar" is more accurate. The beers were poured into frosty mugs and were icy cold. There were a few locals when we came in and ALL of them were super chill. In fact within a few minutes of chatting with them, one fellow bought a round for the whole bar. Never felt so welcomed as a new patron in a local bar. The best part by far was Randy, the bar owner. This guy was pure class and took the time to get to know us and chatted with us the entire time we were there. Just the nicest dude. Very much looking forward to paying Randy and his awesome bar another visit. Blows all the local bars out of the water. Check them out!

Came by Eden East Bar this afternoon around 1:45 pm with my husband to meet a friend of mine to catch the football game (Detroit Lions vs Green Bay Packers). I am surprised that there are just a small number of reviews for this bar (at the time of this review) so I really didn't know what to expect. But I surprisingly enjoyed my time here.This bar is located in a small plaza with Del Taco and Sushi Takumi, specifically located next to a cleaners. (This small plaza is also in front of the Lowe's plaza) Although I think the parking lot seems kind of on the smaller side, I honestly do not see this plaza becoming too busy because of the limited number of businesses that reside here.Anyways, this bar is pretty small and dinky. I think the size of this bar is probably the size of a large family room of someone's house. There are some tables and some high top tables and of course bar stools at the bar as well. There is about 5 or 6 TVs, each of which were playing different football games. My friend being a huge Lion's fan, we sat in front of the flat screen playing that game. Now one thing I have to mention about this bar is that no food is served here, just alcohol (a few beers on tap and the rest in bottles). You are welcomed to bring in your own food though. This bar is also a Detroit Lion's bar with plenty of fan collector items displayed proudly on the four walls of this place. There is even an autographed napkin on one side of the wall of a player from the Detroit Lion's team (did not see the name of the player). When we arrived to catch the game this afternoon, the owner actually ordered a huge pizza from Aloha Pizza and brought it in for the locals coming to watch the game. From what my friend said, she is a regular here, the owner will often times bring in pizza throughout the football season which I think is very nice.The vibe of this bar is actually friendly. The bartender who was working this afternoon (I think her name is Kelly) was friendly and good at checking up on the people sitting at the bar. There was another employee that was also helping to clear dirty glasses and checked with each patron if they would like another drink. The crowd here is a little bit older, I would say definitely mostly males in the 40-50's (but there were some younger people there as well... and I do want to mention that since this is the last Sunday of the year, this may not be the best representation of the regular crowd here since people are on vacation and spending time with family during this time of the year). Overall, this place ended up surprising me that I actually liked my time here and didn't feel awkward and unwelcomed. I am not exactly a frequent visitor of any bar, especially a hole in the wall kind of bar. But I can see myself coming back here again to meet my friend watching another game in the future. By the way, the woman's restroom is pretty clean here. Since there are more men at this bar (on this visit), there was actually a wait for the men's restroom. And what was really funny was this was the first time I have ever seen men using the women's restroom (on long road trips, I wished the line for the women's restroom wasn't so long but it always happens. So if there is no line for the men's, I will have my husband stand outside the men's restroom while I use it. I know I am not the only woman who does this *ahem*).

Great Customer service. Fun and warm place that you have to check out. You have to see the restrooms. They are the best I have seen in Los Angeles,San Francisco and Las Vegas.-------------------------- Comment and Follow this reviewer

Came in on a Thursday night didn't realize how close this place was nor how friendly it was but sure am glad that we found it now. The owner's wife 'Francis' was in... very nice lady, bartender was round-the-way cool too! Small bar that does not serve food but certain nights they order food from out for the patrons - which is pretty cool and thoughtful. Not expensive but don't expect to get fancy-schmancy drinks either.This is a'Detroit' Bar full of memorabilia from Detroit sports. We will be back.Respectfully Reviewed

Actually should be minus 10 stars. l went there for Helen's karaoke show. Got there around 10:15 and put my name in. Ordered a water because I don't drink alcohol, and it was almost closing time, and this guy comes over and asks if I'm going to order a drink. I told him no, l don't drink alcohol. he never even identified himself as the owner or manager or whatever. he just says get out. I ask if he's serious as it's my turn to sing next. He trys playing the tough guy, but this guy - apparently it's Randy - has no social skills whatsoever. l tell him that he can go eff himself. other than him, the place is pretty nice, but he drags it down. I will never, ever go back to this place. Sorry Helen. I tried.

Randy and the regulars are great. Has such a hometown feel. Coldest beers in town!!!Great place to watch sports, meet some new friends and enjoy a nice cocktail.

Stopped off for a beverage after a late night shift and Sam was AWESOME! A bunch of regulars were there and they were extremely inviting to a stray. Definitely won't be my last time here. Did I mention Sam was awesome?

I completely loved this bar ! Was in the neighborhood looking for a place to sit down & watch some tv and this place fulfilled everything .Cassy was amazing ! Warm hospitality, great host - she deserves all the credit as to why I will be retuning.

Nice friendly place! Very welcoming. THEY ARE OPEN LOL Touch tones juke box, football games, Detroit Lions fans will feel welcome lol.

This is a great little bar. It'll remind you of many great neighbor neighborhood bars that dot America. The place has reasonable dinks, friendly atmosphere, and super clean. Multiple TV screens to watch your favorite, a great juke box, and nice patrons. Randy the owner is often there introduce yourself. If your you're a Michigander there's more fun surprises.
