The Best Happy Hour in Detroit: Full List

Here they are: ten sparkling happy hours in Detroit that will please your taste buds without doing too much damage to your wallet. These mini-reviews will cover information about the bar, where to find it, and what is so special about each happy hour spot.

🍺 Rock Bar Happy Hour at Hollywood Casino

Hollywood Casino is one of three casinos in Detroit, and Rock Bar is the primary watering hole of the establishment. It has a pretty cool two-hour happy hour in which a bunch of drinks are a dollar off Monday through Thursday between 6 PM and 5 PM. Simple and easy!

Rock Bar is one of the best Greektown bars you can find, especially if you fancy having a few spins afterward. While at Hollywood Casino, you also have access to one of the best Detroit casino restaurants at Prism, a trendy, high-end steak and seafood joint.

🍺 Radio Bar MotorCity Casino Happy Hour

Indulge everyday for two hours with $2 off beer and wine, $4 off well cocktails, and $5 off premium cocktails between 4 PM and 6 PM at Radio Bar, one of several excellent drinking locations at MotorCity Casino Hotel. Happy Hour drinks can’t be combined with daily drink specials.

Motorcity is also home to one of the nicer buffets in Detroit, the Assembly Line Buffet. The buffet serves a range of American and international cuisine, from freshly rolled sushi to crab legs and collard greens, so if you’re hungry after happy hour, head on down.

🍺 Firebird Tavern

Firebird is a true American tavern with an excellent choice of beer, cocktails, wine, and restaurant-quality food. Self-dubbed a casual joint, the rustic decor and friendly atmosphere provide a welcoming feeling for everyone.

The Firebird happy hour actually lasts a whopping three hours, providing thirsty patrons with 50% off American craft beer, wine, and Tito’s. You can also get $5 snacks, including chicken sliders and loaded fries. Tasty!

🍸 Bar Verona

Bar Verona is a beautifully presented casual eatery and bar in Washington, northern Detroit. With a first-generation Italian-American head chef who grew up working in his father’s restaurant, the grub at this spot is on point, too.

The happy hour menu has a drinks menu and a food menu, and you’ll have access to one or both depending on the day:

• Monday – Food and drink;
• Tuesday – Drinks only + $45 Bottle & Board Night;
• Wednesday – Food and drink + 20% off select wines;
• Thursday – Food and drink + $10 numbered speciality cocktails;
• Friday – Drinks only.

🍺 Jim Brady’s Detroit

Jim Brady’s Royal Oak is a self-described all-American bar, mixing elements of style between a 50’s diner and a modern bar, creating a cool yet casual atmosphere for patrons.

Jim Brady’s has a huge drinks menu, in addition to a well-rounded food and dessert menu, which includes steaks, seafood, and plenty more.

The happy hour isn’t too shabby either, with draft beers for just $4 a pop, $7 house cocktails, and a range of nibbles such as crispy potatoes, ravioli, and sausage bites for $7 a plate.

🍺 Grand Tavern

If you stumbled into Grand Tavern Rochester Hills at any given time, there’s a good chance you will meet a member of their friendly waitstaff who will promptly inform you that it’s happy hour; that’s because it’s happy hour at Grand Tavern so often.

You’d be served that menu in a rustic-meets-modern sports bar, with plenty of screens to cheer on your favorite teams and private booths to escape it all.

The happy hour menu is pretty broad, too, with $2.50 domestic beers, $4 well drinks, and $4 house wines. You can also order a wide range of nibbles, from pulled pork sliders to nachos for just $6 to $8 for a plate.

🍸 The Block

The Block is a semi-modern American bar and grill that serves up a wide selection of foods and a popular brunch on the weekend. Those who fancy a drink can find a reasonable range of beers, wine, cocktails, and even champagne.

The Block’s happy hour, or the 3-6-9 Happy Hour as they call it, consists of a tiny menu offering $3 beer and wines, $6 Paloma, and a selection between wings, bacon Brussels, spinach dip, and Pepperoni Flatbread for $9 a plate.

🍸 BESA Detroit

BESA is a relatively upscale bar and restaurant with a massive wine list and a bistro fare menu that serves up a range of high-end steaks and other classic bistro grub in an elegant environment.

Those looking for an elevated night out might want to hit the BESA happy hour between 4 and 6:30 through the week for some great deals. The BESA happy hour is good for 30% off appetizers and salads and has wine for $6, cocktails for $7, and draft beers for $4.

🍸 Parc

Park is an upscale restaurant and bar with a contemporary chic decor. Voted Hour Detroit’s 2018 Restaurant of the Year and winner of two wine awards, it’s a destination where even the happy hour prices aren’t for everyone.

Between three and six on a weekday, customers can grab $9 craft cocktails, $8 wines, and $12 quick bites. Patrons can also order the Bubbly Bar, a mini mimosa tableside service station with champagne, fresh berries, and juice that serves four to six for $75 during happy hour.

🍸 Shelby

Voted Downtown Detroit’s best speakeasy by the Detroit Free Press, Shelby has a rustic-meets-modern speakeasy atmosphere where you can always hear yourself think and where the drinks speak for themselves.

Shelby has a vast selection of wines and champagnes, with a few craft beers to boot. If you’re hungry, you’ll be able to get a few different types of sharing plates; nothing substantial, though.

During this Downtown Detroit happy hour, which is the only single-hour happy hour on this list, patrons will be able to enjoy $8 cocktails and the choice of a $10 mushroom or beef carpaccio sharing plate.
