Reviews for Sweetwater Tavern in Detroit, MI
Its a downtown bar with its own vibe. Cool interior brick. Our waitress was super friendly as was everyone there. The wings and... seasoned fries are so good. I hadn't been there in years. Still really good! Read more

This is definitely a locals' spot in Downtown Detroit. We stopped here for a bite mid-week as it was close to our hotel, the GM... Renaissance Centre, and it was one of the only places open late night. It's a very popular place and was packed inside when wearrived. After about a 20 minute wait, we got a booth. It was a lively atmosphere, with loud music and lots of talking andlaughing. There were even customers dancing by the tables inside. There was bar and booth seating available. It's an olderrestaurant for sure, but seemed to be fairly clean. The wings were promoted on their menu and highly recommended by thewaitress so we opted to try them with a side of Mac and cheese. The wings were huge, juicy meat with a relatively spicy coatingand a delicious crispy skin. I can definitely see why they are award winning. The mac and cheese was very cheesy and gooey, andtasted homemade. The only downside was that it was a tiny portion for $4.25 - definitely not big enough to share. The serverswere also great. At one point, we started getting harassed by a customer at the bar and our server stepped in to intervene andto make sure we were ok. We were very appreciative of that. Overall, great spot for a beer and late night bite. Read more
Everything was much too salty. I felt my blood pressure rising as I was eating. The french fries were really good. The side... salad was terrible. I was very disappointed I was really looking forward to eating at this place because I heard the food wasamazing. I will try the one in Eastpoint. Read more
Bomb wings. Was staying across the street at courtyard Marriott and went to the city Market. The security guard there referred... us to Sweetwater. It was a bomb environment. Good music. Great food! Read more
Love this place! I have been going here for over 25 years! I have tried just about everything on the menu. Everything from the... meatloaf, Cobb salad, collard greens, mac&Cheese, and last but not least their famous Sweetwater Wings with Seasoned fries! Ihaven't tried anything that wasn't tasty. Well....the mac&Cheese is a hit or miss from time to time. When it's busy they are alittle slow but I am so happy they are back open after being closed for over a year! I believe there was a fire. They remainedclosed for over a year. They just reopened January 31 2022. Same staff, place looks the same and the wings & fries are stilloutstanding! They have several locations. Check them out!

Finally was able to visit an actual location and not a food truck for Sweetwater Tavern. Which was good because the wings from... the food truck were not as good as at the restaurant. The wings are super tasty with the right amount of heat and marinade for24 hours to get them that way. Also got the rib tips and fries with Cole slaw all of which were delicious with seasoning on thefries and juicy slaw. The rib tips were tender cooked perfectly, some of them were pretty bony. Good to know we can get goodwings here now because they have several locations, this one's there newest from what it said in the restaurant. Read more
It was late after a concert in downtown Detroit and we had to find food. This place is a bar but the food is great. I got a... burger and after not eating for a while it tasted real good. Cooked to the medium well like I said and seasoned nice. (Somemight think it's too salty, but after a long concert and not drinking much water, I welcomed it) If you need food in Detroit at11pm, come here. Read more
