This place has some really good food. The pizza is great. There are a lot of different options that you wouldn't see on a regular bar menu like the grilled vegetable salad or the fried eggplant and mozzarella sandwich. They have a good happy hour too that goes until 7. It can get crowded for games so get there early. The rooftop is cool too!

The worst and most foul burger I have ever encountered. No kidding, a frozen pre formed round thing of meat that was void of taste, totally over cooked and, well, just take my word, it was the worst burger of all time. I phoned to speak with the manager to tell him what a rotten and disgusting TEN DOLLAR hamburger they sell but he, well, he couldn't be bothered with returning my telephone callS even though I identified myself as a business owner on the same street as his business. Lesson learned, I'll never be back and I suggest to all who read this, back away! What's with a manager who won't return phone calls!!!??? On the fourth call to the restaurant I was told the manager would not speak to me unless he knew what it was regarding. I've never heard of such an inept and arrogant business manger. A total loser!

It's a great place to watch a game, as long as there isn't karaoke or a live band DURING THE GAME. Not cool, 24 seconds. Otherwise, the crowd is pretty sports minded, at least inside. Great flat screen TVs all over the place, you pretty much have a good view from any seat. During the Tigers run of 2006 the place was so packed we were standing pretty much from the street... the atmosphere was electric.

good food, but a really grouchy bartender on monday night. wow, isn't being friendly and waiting on customers how servers make money and represent their establishment? she really needed a happy pill or something. the food was good though, a little pricy for sandwiches, etc., but very well thought out and put together.

It can be very hit or miss with this place, but I like it-I really do...less douchey than Royal Oak and cheaper than Bham... For a big game it will get crowded and smokey-FAST...when I was there for MSU v. Cal football game last fall they didn't have the game sound on-super annoying, I agree with the other yelpers. I have never been the patio... I think this place has good drink specials and I have never had bad service. I think for a bar it is LIGHTYEARS ahead of other places I have been to...I ordered a turkey reuben and the bread was thick and fresh and so was the rest of it and their homemade chips were fantastic...I ordered chips thinking I would eat one or 2 of them as opposed to fries and then my friend was like, "you do realize they are homemade chips, right?" no...and I ate them all. I heard the pizza here was good and I saw someone order it and it looked better than good...very solid for bar pizza. They have salads and good salads too-a rare find at a bar. This is one of the few bars in the area that has the classic game photo hunt and you will find me here after work with my friend trying to break that high score record drinking cheap beer. Overall, I mean I have not had a bad experience here-yet and if I do, you all will know....

Great atmosphere! The patio creates a very unique feel and was well designed for a relaxing evening. Prices are reasonable. Food is delicious. Staff are always accommodating. Personally I have not had a problem with finding parking, but it may be an issue for some. Overall this is a GREAT restaurant anytime!

It was an accident that I went to 24 seconds, as I planned on meeting a friend at the Berkley Front, but entered the bar, ordered a drink and when the menu was brought to me, saw "24" on it.. 4:45pm on a Friday I arrive, there is a VERY loud party of 6 that had been there for over 2 hours.. It seemed like the bar tried to compensate by turning the music volume up. I had a very difficult time conversing with my friend, as we could hardly hear each other speak. My friend arrived, hardly sat down before the waitress came at us with menus, asking him what he'd like to drink (give the man a few minutes to sit down before you bombard him with a menu and drink offerings). My rum runner was very tasty, food was good, but the service was less than par and the atmosphere was not desirable at all. I'd consider giving 24 seconds a 2nd chance. Not a great place for an initial meeting, good food though.

Great Place! Wasn't sure what to expect, but was blown away upon walking in. Very open great room with TV's on the wall and also hanging above the oval shaped bar; impressive and great for watching a game. Food choices are big time, tons of bar food, pizza and burgers. I recommend the fire taco's to start out, pretty good, need a little more meat but the flavor is quality. Pizza is also good and looking forward to trying the burgers

This place is just ok. They list some specials on the back of their menu. We went on a Wednesday night to catch some basketball games and the place had a decent crowd and a good amount of TV's. The drink specials were $2 PBR and I think either Labatt or Miller, not terrible. I guess there is a rooftop area to 24 seconds but being that it's still winter, it was not open. The food is just regular bar food that is waaaay overpriced. The potato skins were pretty tasty though. I had a ceasar wrap which wasn't great, couldn't really taste the ceasar dressing at all. It was 8.99 and I upgraded to waffle fries for 1.50. So over $10 for a mediocre wrap. The bf got a calzone which looked decent. It was covered in a garlic seasoning, but the filling was quite scarce and it turned out to be mostly dough. Also had to ask for a side of marinara as there was none on there and none served with it. We were also charged 0.25 cents for that. Looking over the menu the prices seemed quite steep for run of the mill bar food. $9.99 for a burger served with chips, 1.50 to upgrade to fries which turns into nearly $12 for a burger? and no where does it list it being hand pattied or anything so for all I know the burgers are probably frozen. Redcoat might be cheaper for a burger! There was a veggie salad that looked appetizing but it too was $9.99 plus $2.00 to add chicken. I mean these prices are quite outrageous in my opinion for a bar. $9.99 for 10 pieces of wings. Veggie quesadillas on the appetizer menu were 9.99 plus another $2 for chicken! A small nacho was 9.99 and a large 14.99. I mean I'm honestly shocked by some of these prices. I've been to restaurants in Birmingham that charge less for food. I may come here for drinks and to catch some games, but never would I come here hungry! The food is a rip off!

Good for watching sports on their 1,289 TVs, or for enjoying the summertime on the rooftop. It's one of only 3 rooftop decks in the area (along with Social in B'Ham and Red Fox in Royal Oak), so it's definitely worth a try for that reason alone. For the same reason, it definitely exhibits some of the calling cards of a douche-haven, but definitely less so than the other two rooftop spots (this is Berkley, after all), and really only on Friday or Saturday nights. The music is often a little loud, too, especially during lunchtime. I doubt many people are looking for a thumping scene at 1:00pm on a Sunday afternoon, but perhaps that's just me. Nevertheless, the food is passable if you stick to the basics, and the bar on the rooftop really is a cool spot.

I have been there several times and I have always had a good experience when it comes to the food. The only complaints I would have is the slow service that I tend to get. It is kind of expensive also but it's not over the top.

This place is friendly and has good bar food. There is keno and tons of tv's to watch sports. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is that there is nothing vegan on the menu- the black bean burger has egg.

I'm leaning towards 3.5 stars here. We ordered the combo appetizer plate, some mini burgers, a turkey burger and a turkey Reuben. The wings and cheese sticks were your standard but their potato skins are pretty ridiculous...get these and don't share them! Their onion rings were over-battered and greasy. I wasn't a fan this time around. I didn't have the mini-burgers but it was said that they were a little dry but OK enough. The turkey burger legitimately tasted exactly like a hotdog...not a turkey dog but a straight up ballpark type dog. I tried it, it was a little gross. I had the Turkey Reuben with waffle fries and I liked it a lot. I'd order it again! The food here is often pretty good but sometimes mediocre depending on what you order. Service was pretty solid this time around and usually is but the real redeeming quality here is the patio. The bar itself is pretty chill but it can get a little rowdy sometimes and it's usually pretty loud in here...great for games or a night out with the boys.

Went for my first time a couple weeks ago and enjoyed it. The menu is really big, which is kind of overwhelming for a sports bar. (Not saying it's a bad thing. There's just a lot to choose from.) We went on a Saturday late afternoon and they had Labatt drafts on special for around $2, which was great. I ordered the pulled pork burger, which had the beef, a large onion ring and the pulled pork situated between the beef and the onion ring. It was large and delicious, albeit a little messy. I also liked that I could get a Caesar salad instead of french fries, and I give credit to all businesses/restaurants that allow customers to mix and match as they please at no extra cost. That is one thing that will bring me back. All in all, was pretty good. Some items are pretty overpriced (like the Chicken Caesar Salad), but others are pretty on point. The food is pretty good for a bar and I am curious how to the atmosphere is in the evenings. There are also A LOT of large Tv's for the sports crowd, which is cool. I'd like to come back.

Have been here several times and each time I have enjoyed myself. They have TV's all over the place so there are no bad seats in the place for viewing any sporting event. They have drink specials every day if the week along with drink specials for when local teams are playing. Food is also an option from appetizers to main course. This is where it gets iffy for pending on what you get it is either a good deal or can be a little overpriced for a sports bar. Overall they are consistent which is a plus. Restroom is clean and staff is friendly. Parking can be a challenge and will have to park a little bit away pending what is going in and what night of the week. Overall good experience.

When I lived in Berkley, this place surprised me by being on my 'regular playlist.' Not for the same reason other people love it- booze, sports and a very decent rooftop outdoor lounge area. Their pizza was just delicious, and I craved it. The crust is crispy and buttery on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The cheese is browned, and there's a bunch of toppings that I like to mix up to hit all the right spots: A little spice (peppers), a little sweet (pineapple) and a bit of meat (pepperoni). See? All food groups, and foodie groups, covered in one dish. It's seriously good. But when you walk in, you think "Sports Bar. Drunk guys." Don't let that dissuade you (for some of you, that might sell you). Between the waffle fries and pizza, this place will fill your next greasy craving.

Great sports bar. Hi-def tvs located on every imaginable surface in that place. Leads to an easy viewing experience for whatever event you are there for. Friendly (and patient) staff led us to have a great time there. Cold beer and great atmosphere. The only real negative that led to one less star was the wait time for our food to be served. Expect a relatively long wait for food to come out... Other than that, drink up and have a great time.

I can walk to this place, which automatically gives it a good rating. I've only been here once so far, and it was your standard sports bar. Haven't tried any food yet, so I can't speak to the menu at all. I'm looking forward to going back in the summer to go on the roof!

This is the hot spot in Berkley. I am surprised to read people complain about the prices. They seem to be only about 1.00 above most bars. The food is good, but I don't think it is a great burger place. Get one of their specials. They have a lot of options. I love the location and they make good, strong drinks. Awesome rooftop! I do have one bit of criticism. I think the owner, Bob, should be better to his regulars! WE spend a lot of money there and you don't seem to care much. The servers are top notch if you treat them well....I am not sure why there are so many negative comments about the service.

This is a great place to grab a beer and watch a game. It also has above average food in my opinion. The rooftop deck is also a nice touch. I have had a few things on the menu and all were great. The nachos are huge and really good. I always go with the chicken. It is grilled and has that smokey taste to it that comes through in the nachos. The regular comes on a pizza tray, more than enough for 3 or 4 people to share. They have a great selection of sandwiches as well. Anything with their BBQ sauce on it will be good. Great place overall...

Tried out 24 Seconds for playoff football, so can't comment on the upstairs patio... but, TONS of TVs, Magic Hat #9 on draft, and I will never complain about a place that offers delicious waffle fries! The waitress was great, but didn't know what team's jersey I was wearing (at a sports bar)... Overall, can't complain, and will absolutely head back in warmer weather!

Christopher M.
Patio is a good place to hangout on a nice evening...great for sports watching too if that is your thing. Food is quite overpriced and is of good quality - but not worth the price. Decent beer selection but I would like to see more Michigan brewers on tap - but their clientele probably likes the macros. Service was good - not real friendly but got the job done.

Friday night door guy asked to check our ID's but we had to wait for him to finish watching a video on his Ipad. Terrible first impression with such an unprofessional security. The lights were up too bright for a Friday night. The wait staff was unengaging. After standing around for a few minutes looking for a seat and not being helped by any wait staff, we left. Won't be back.

And I am being Generous. We stopped in an NYE.

Great sports bar! TV's everywhere, including upstairs on their outdoor patio where they have another bar. Prices are very good and they have game day specials for all the local teams so it's hard to pay full price for anything. I'm not a huge fan of pizza, but I'm the minority on that and I hear it's great. The other menu items are hit and miss. Their grinders are very good as well as their dips.

Well I love coming to the patio at 24 seconds, although the service can be hit or miss. Last night, the restaurant was reserving tables for a party but there was no one using them for at least 2 hours we were there. One gentleman said we could take their table but they had given their chairs away to other people. So we grabbed a few chairs and the waitress from that section says rudely "you can't take the chairs from the reserved tables", but didn't offer us a seat. I get the feeling that she was hoping that we would leave so she could reserve our table too. Luckily the waitress for our section was much nicer and actually gave her customers folding chairs. The food is okay, I had their veggie burger. I would opt with fries instead of chips, especially their waffle fries. There are specials during Tiger games too.

Go here pretty regular for pizza and wings, and always find whatever food I get to be pretty great. Good place to see a game if the isn't too jammed, but they usually have enough staff on hand when it is to make sure that you still get served at a decent clip. Lots of tvs mounted up high, bar games and darts, and rooftop seating in the summer. I would really recommend the pizza, and to ask what the drink specials are on a given night, as they are pretty much always running something and , otherwise, they are maybe a touch spendy. All in all, a great berkley fixture.

24 Seconds is a reasonable sports bar that turns into a regular bar on weekends. Don't go here on a weekend night and expect to be able to hear the game (or even really watch it - it can get really crowded) The food is pretty good, it has some standard bar food, but also some more interesting sandwiches. But once again - it gets crowded on weekend nights, so not a great place for late night eats. They have a really nice rooftop deck with a bar and a couple of TVs. Parking sucks when they are crowded. There is a lot behind the building, but between 24 Seconds and the Berkley Front, it fills up pretty fast; you'll end up parking on the street somewhere. I would go here for: -Watching games on the rooftop deck on a summer afternoon -A bar scene with live bands on the weekend -A burger and beer on the deck with friends on a weekday evening

Donna D.
My fiance and I go here fairly often. I appreciate that on Sundays they tag which games are playing on which TVs so you know right away where your team is playing. I haven't tried the entire menu yet but I've had the nachos, pizza, wings and chili (not all in the same meal!) and they're all really really good. I will actually commit to saying I love their pizza. The veggie burger wasn't bad either (though my fiance wouldn't even try it, not the fault of the bar!) It's become one of our regular hang out spots.

Joel K.
Looked up 24 Seconds on Yelp to go watch a Stanley Cup hockey game while visiting. Lots of TVs. Service was good; our server was not clingy, but was always around when we needed her and very friendly. Food was decent. Beer list was somewhat lengthy. Be careful with the Firehouse Nachos...they sting...twice.

We were killing time before a nearby event. It was a game day & they had a party bus, so the place was pretty empty when we got there. We got menus & immediately our server returns to take our orders. I asked for a minute & she came back after 15, 10 after I had laid down my menu. If she'd been busy I wouldn't have minded but she was standing five feet away yakking at the bar. I ordered the mini burgers - she asked me if I wanted fries (they come with chips) & I did. Two others in the party ordered only drinks & the fourth tried to order the chips & salsa at which point the server took him page by page through the menu trying to get him to order something else. He commented in the attempt to up sell & stuck with his original plan. Our food comes out & the burgers are burned & accompanied by chips. The server is gone before I can say a word. She doesn't return until we're finished & only to drop off our bill. Maybe my expectations are too high, but I expect decent service if you're not busy & for my order to be right. 24 failed on both counts.

It's funny how everything can change in an instant. I used to consider this the creme de la creme of sports bars in the area but last night, my opinion change quite heavily... I should have seen the writing on the wall when I walked in and spotted a man in head to toe Pittsburgh Steeler gear as soon as we walked in. Pittsburgh Steeler coat: check Pittsburgh Steeler hat: check Pittsburgh Steeler sweatshirt: check Sense of self worth tied directly into the performance of a professional football team: check We sat down and were gearing up for our particular college basketball game and some wings and beer. Low and behold, there's music playing over the radio and we came here to watch the game, homey! We asked if they would turn the sound on the game (a problem no REAL sports bar would ever have) and they told us no. No, the SPORTS bar is not going to turn on the sound to the SPORTING event. Wait... what? So, we left at halftime and went to another bar where they were more than happy to accomodate our fandom and accept our moola.

Eh. I keep going here because it's close and decidedly un-repulsive, but that doesn't mean I like it. The rooftop is fun in the summer, open space, enough tables and TVs. The food is standard bar fare and nothing to get excited about. Go to Berkley High School? You might feel like it after a Saturday night here...

Really liked this bar!! Indoor seating is available, but the open air rooftop is the place to be! Drinks here are good and affordably priced. Service was good as well. I did not eat here, but others in my party did and raved about it.

Great place to hang out. In the summer the patio on the roof is a perfect place to hang out with friends and enjoy the summer air. Food is always good although service is really hit or miss. The introduction of the 24 Seconds party bus is amazing. For $10 a person you can ride the bar's party bus down to a Tigers game, or wherever your group of friends wants to go. Took the bus with about 10 friends to a Tigers game, got to drink on the way down on the bus, and was shuttled back to the bar after the game. Big WIN for this place! Another great reason that I love living in Berkley.

After being completely pummeled in my softball game on Monday (uh.. 17-1!) some teammates and I definitely needed a drink. Dan suggested 24 seconds in which I replied that I had never been, but was completely willing to check it out. We went up to the roof top-- apparently other ball players had this same idea because there were other peeps in uniforms. I was pretty impressed with the patio. Nice big open space. Quick service. Cheap beers. There were some larger tables that cater to larger parties--maybe if we win our game next week the whole team could come out and celebrate!

I just wanted to update my review after reading a bunch of negative, whiny reviews about this place. I don't know what the problem is. People must expect five star quality for McDonald's dollar menu prices. Whatever. All people ever do is bitch and complain. It's pathetic. Here's the bottom line: the place isn't perfect. No place is. But it's GOOD. The food is good. The beer selection is good. I've had nothing but positive experiences with the staff. The rooftop is awesome in the summer. The inside gets a little loud at times, but so what. It's crowded on the weekend because most people like it. I had to write something because the negative reviews are annoying. I understand that not everyone will like it, but calm down. Pouty crybabies should stay home and cook their own dinner. Sheesh.

My wife and I went here last night for dinner and drinks and we were impressed. We each ordered a cranberry vodka and they were great, not too strong but strong enough that you could taste the alcohol and for $3.25 each, they were a fair price. We also got a small order of chips and con queso which was delicious and plenty big for 2 people. For dinner, I got the smokehouse burger with onion rings and she got the 24 melt with waffle fries. We both thought our choices were delicious, they were cooked perfectly, full of flavor, good portion size, and presented nicely. Definitely will be returning here.

My favorite thing about 24 Seconds is their rooftop. There are lots of tables and TVs up there to catch the game while enjoying a beautiful day/night and cold beer. I usually just have drinks here and like that they've added many more Michigan beers over time. I do like their Guiness chili and chicken tenders. It's fun to come here any time of year. The inside has plenty of TVs and big screens. Just make sure to stop over this summer.

Look, I will be blunt, good drink, good food, but the service sucks! 5 out of the 6 times I have been there! I just called to ask a question and they just hung up on me after giving me the answer, no thanks for calling, have a nice day, your welcome. Give me something except a dial tone. I don't get it and I am hoping the owner sees this because other Berkley patrons feel the same way! You could be 5 star!

Rooftop is nice, but beer is served I warm glasses. Food is inedible - seriously. $10 hamburger that is so dry you can't eat it. Pizza #3 was semi edible so we went with that. No care from the wait staff, but the TVs were great.

Ellen K.
I've ended up at 24 Seconds a few times now, and it's always a good experience. At first glance, it's just a sports bar. The thing is, everything I've ever ordered there has been better than expected. Good burgers, good appetizers, good sandwiches. Boyfriend and I had lunch on the rooftop patio this past weekend, and it was really nice. Prices are good. Service is always great, even when they're packed. Although 24 Seconds does get crazy when Big Games are on, I've always ended up finding a table, even for a group. I recommend it next time you want to watch a game or just have a nice meal outside.

I came here to watch the Belmont Stakes and try the nachos as several people had told me this was the place. Well, it's just a place. It's a sports bar, I'll give it that. The usual swagger of big screen tvs and different sports from the Tigers game, golf, World Cup promos and of course the Belmont Stakes. The menu seemed pretty standard with no real stand out items. Not a deal breaker by any means. The waiter touted the nachos and at $11 for a large nacho, I have high expectations. We added chicken for a $3 up-charge as well as a tiny serving of sour cream for $0.25 more. So we're at the $15 mark for nachos. They come to the table and yes, the portion is enormous--I mean the portion of tortilla chips that is. It's a big pile of chips on a pizza plate with a scant amount of toppings. It had cheese (shredded and melted) with only trace amounts of black olives and diced tomatoes. Waldo would have been easier to find then the chicken. Ridiculous! It did come with a cup of homemade salsa which was decent but in reality you would have needed another full serving of it to finish the chips because once the first few bites were taken, we were left with just chips. No layering at all. Poor form. Lesson learned. We also ordered the mac and cheese. This was mostacolli Alfredo and not at all close to mac and cheese. Lesson number two learned. We ran into a couple of other hitches: No brewed ice tea. It's 2014 people, hot water, tea bags add ice when finished. Also, our serve thought they fry in peanut oil. BTW-They fry in canola oil. This is a big deal when you have peanut allergies. Lesson three learned. Tall boy Labbatt drafts were only $2.50 and probably the highlight of the meal. My 4 year old also won us $72 in Keno from here number picks so I call the visit a draw. One last thing, when the Belmont Stakes race came on, the played it over the bar sound system which is absolutely dreadful. This place just had speakers installed with little thought to acoustics. Sound bounces everywhere in its wide open space and you just can't understand anything the announcers were saying. I'll try another place for future purposes.

The food and service here were great. My wife and I tried the cheese soup - it didn't mention there were onions in it though, and my wide doesn't like onions - so I got to enjoy two cups of soup... I tried the turkey ruben and my wife tried the firehouse panini. Both had a lot of flavor! We had a great experience here and hope to check it out in the summer when we can sit up on the roof.

This is a regular spot for my co workers and boss. It's a clean bar that has awesome rooftop patio. I enjoy sitting up here and sun bathing while getting a view of the streets of Berkley. The menu is pretty lengthy, with lots to choose from. I have enjoyed the black bean burger, Mac & cheese, Nachos, and even appetizers. All the food is hot and actually pretty tasty. Usually I turn my nose to bar food...but,not here!! The waitresses are friendly and prompt and don't seem to mind how long you stay if you have a large group. I'll be back here soon I am sure.

Great sports bar. Great service. Great beer and booze selection. So why 3-stars? The burger. Probably one of the worst burgers I've ever eaten. I've made frozen GFS patties on charcoal grills better than this thing. And to think you take the time to "brand" the top bun with your logo, but give me a hockey puck sh#t burger is beyond me. I'd go back for a game and a beer, but yea, stopping at Wendy's first.

We went to this establishment to watch the recent Mayweather fight and they were charging $30.00 pet person but have you $30.00 in food and drink vouchers. Amazing deal, we thought! We got there about 5:30 as we anticipated the bar would be packed. Our waiter was amazing, he kept or drinks filled the entire time and was very professional, all while running around like mad man. As for food, we had amazing pizza, the crust was devine! Not to thick, not too thin. The guacamole was spicy which I found really off. The chicken tenders are NOT hand battered, it's freezer to fryer and they tasted old. :( I did look around and see delicious looking burgers and grilled tortilla wraps I wish we would've split in lieu of the old freezer burnt tenders. Bummer! Their ranch is like water, work in that please 24 seconds! I didn't like that they completely sardined the place, seriously, you couldn't even move around to get to the bathroom! We had an end table and I felt completely beat up by the end of the night from all the bumping into my arms/shoulders and stepping all over my feet. Also, if you go for an event (UFC, fight, etc...) don't expect to hear anything whatsoever, it's beyond extremely loud and the sound quality is beyond poor. 2 stars for the pizza and service.

Great veggie burger! Not gonna lie, probably the best veggie burger I've had in Michigan! Sat at the bar, was greeted and served quickly, even asked about lime in my Corona! Food came out pretty auick, overall solid spot for a burger and beer. Pretty overpriced, but it's downtown so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Very loud, I know it's a sports bar, but it wasn't even the TV it was the music! Hard to even have a conversation... Summary: check it out if you just got paid, should be a good time

This is a good, solid, sports bar in downtown Berkley. The main bar area is nice, but nothing special. Where it really starts to shine is on the large rooftop deck that's open during the warmer seasons. It does get very crowded. They have lots of choices of beer. Haven't had the food yet... but the drinks and atmosphere is good!

This place has some really good food. The pizza is great. There are a lot of different options that you wouldn't see on a regular bar menu like the grilled vegetable salad or the fried eggplant and mozzarella sandwich. They have a good happy hour too that goes until 7. It can get crowded for games so get there early. The rooftop is cool too!

The worst and most foul burger I have ever encountered. No kidding, a frozen pre formed round thing of meat that was void of taste, totally over cooked and, well, just take my word, it was the worst burger of all time. I phoned to speak with the manager to tell him what a rotten and disgusting TEN DOLLAR hamburger they sell but he, well, he couldn't be bothered with returning my telephone callS even though I identified myself as a business owner on the same street as his business. Lesson learned, I'll never be back and I suggest to all who read this, back away! What's with a manager who won't return phone calls!!!??? On the fourth call to the restaurant I was told the manager would not speak to me unless he knew what it was regarding. I've never heard of such an inept and arrogant business manger. A total loser!

It's a great place to watch a game, as long as there isn't karaoke or a live band DURING THE GAME. Not cool, 24 seconds. Otherwise, the crowd is pretty sports minded, at least inside. Great flat screen TVs all over the place, you pretty much have a good view from any seat. During the Tigers run of 2006 the place was so packed we were standing pretty much from the street... the atmosphere was electric.

good food, but a really grouchy bartender on monday night. wow, isn't being friendly and waiting on customers how servers make money and represent their establishment? she really needed a happy pill or something. the food was good though, a little pricy for sandwiches, etc., but very well thought out and put together.
(3)Sarah M. B.
It can be very hit or miss with this place, but I like it-I really do...less douchey than Royal Oak and cheaper than Bham... For a big game it will get crowded and smokey-FAST...when I was there for MSU v. Cal football game last fall they didn't have the game sound on-super annoying, I agree with the other yelpers. I have never been the patio... I think this place has good drink specials and I have never had bad service. I think for a bar it is LIGHTYEARS ahead of other places I have been to...I ordered a turkey reuben and the bread was thick and fresh and so was the rest of it and their homemade chips were fantastic...I ordered chips thinking I would eat one or 2 of them as opposed to fries and then my friend was like, "you do realize they are homemade chips, right?" no...and I ate them all. I heard the pizza here was good and I saw someone order it and it looked better than good...very solid for bar pizza. They have salads and good salads too-a rare find at a bar. This is one of the few bars in the area that has the classic game photo hunt and you will find me here after work with my friend trying to break that high score record drinking cheap beer. Overall, I mean I have not had a bad experience here-yet and if I do, you all will know....
(4)Zoey R.
Great atmosphere! The patio creates a very unique feel and was well designed for a relaxing evening. Prices are reasonable. Food is delicious. Staff are always accommodating. Personally I have not had a problem with finding parking, but it may be an issue for some. Overall this is a GREAT restaurant anytime!

It was an accident that I went to 24 seconds, as I planned on meeting a friend at the Berkley Front, but entered the bar, ordered a drink and when the menu was brought to me, saw "24" on it.. 4:45pm on a Friday I arrive, there is a VERY loud party of 6 that had been there for over 2 hours.. It seemed like the bar tried to compensate by turning the music volume up. I had a very difficult time conversing with my friend, as we could hardly hear each other speak. My friend arrived, hardly sat down before the waitress came at us with menus, asking him what he'd like to drink (give the man a few minutes to sit down before you bombard him with a menu and drink offerings). My rum runner was very tasty, food was good, but the service was less than par and the atmosphere was not desirable at all. I'd consider giving 24 seconds a 2nd chance. Not a great place for an initial meeting, good food though.
(3)Diane B.
Loved the atmosphere, the beer, the nachos and burger....it was a great time and loads of fun. If

Great Place! Wasn't sure what to expect, but was blown away upon walking in. Very open great room with TV's on the wall and also hanging above the oval shaped bar; impressive and great for watching a game. Food choices are big time, tons of bar food, pizza and burgers. I recommend the fire taco's to start out, pretty good, need a little more meat but the flavor is quality. Pizza is also good and looking forward to trying the burgers
(4)Amy P.
This place is just ok. They list some specials on the back of their menu. We went on a Wednesday night to catch some basketball games and the place had a decent crowd and a good amount of TV's. The drink specials were $2 PBR and I think either Labatt or Miller, not terrible. I guess there is a rooftop area to 24 seconds but being that it's still winter, it was not open. The food is just regular bar food that is waaaay overpriced. The potato skins were pretty tasty though. I had a ceasar wrap which wasn't great, couldn't really taste the ceasar dressing at all. It was 8.99 and I upgraded to waffle fries for 1.50. So over $10 for a mediocre wrap. The bf got a calzone which looked decent. It was covered in a garlic seasoning, but the filling was quite scarce and it turned out to be mostly dough. Also had to ask for a side of marinara as there was none on there and none served with it. We were also charged 0.25 cents for that. Looking over the menu the prices seemed quite steep for run of the mill bar food. $9.99 for a burger served with chips, 1.50 to upgrade to fries which turns into nearly $12 for a burger? and no where does it list it being hand pattied or anything so for all I know the burgers are probably frozen. Redcoat might be cheaper for a burger! There was a veggie salad that looked appetizing but it too was $9.99 plus $2.00 to add chicken. I mean these prices are quite outrageous in my opinion for a bar. $9.99 for 10 pieces of wings. Veggie quesadillas on the appetizer menu were 9.99 plus another $2 for chicken! A small nacho was 9.99 and a large 14.99. I mean I'm honestly shocked by some of these prices. I've been to restaurants in Birmingham that charge less for food. I may come here for drinks and to catch some games, but never would I come here hungry! The food is a rip off!
(2)Peter H.
Good for watching sports on their 1,289 TVs, or for enjoying the summertime on the rooftop. It's one of only 3 rooftop decks in the area (along with Social in B'Ham and Red Fox in Royal Oak), so it's definitely worth a try for that reason alone. For the same reason, it definitely exhibits some of the calling cards of a douche-haven, but definitely less so than the other two rooftop spots (this is Berkley, after all), and really only on Friday or Saturday nights. The music is often a little loud, too, especially during lunchtime. I doubt many people are looking for a thumping scene at 1:00pm on a Sunday afternoon, but perhaps that's just me. Nevertheless, the food is passable if you stick to the basics, and the bar on the rooftop really is a cool spot.
(3)Bonnie W.
I have been there several times and I have always had a good experience when it comes to the food. The only complaints I would have is the slow service that I tend to get. It is kind of expensive also but it's not over the top.
(4)M. O.
This place is friendly and has good bar food. There is keno and tons of tv's to watch sports. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is that there is nothing vegan on the menu- the black bean burger has egg.
(4)Joe B.
I'm leaning towards 3.5 stars here. We ordered the combo appetizer plate, some mini burgers, a turkey burger and a turkey Reuben. The wings and cheese sticks were your standard but their potato skins are pretty ridiculous...get these and don't share them! Their onion rings were over-battered and greasy. I wasn't a fan this time around. I didn't have the mini-burgers but it was said that they were a little dry but OK enough. The turkey burger legitimately tasted exactly like a hotdog...not a turkey dog but a straight up ballpark type dog. I tried it, it was a little gross. I had the Turkey Reuben with waffle fries and I liked it a lot. I'd order it again! The food here is often pretty good but sometimes mediocre depending on what you order. Service was pretty solid this time around and usually is but the real redeeming quality here is the patio. The bar itself is pretty chill but it can get a little rowdy sometimes and it's usually pretty loud in here...great for games or a night out with the boys.
(3)Nick M.
Went for my first time a couple weeks ago and enjoyed it. The menu is really big, which is kind of overwhelming for a sports bar. (Not saying it's a bad thing. There's just a lot to choose from.) We went on a Saturday late afternoon and they had Labatt drafts on special for around $2, which was great. I ordered the pulled pork burger, which had the beef, a large onion ring and the pulled pork situated between the beef and the onion ring. It was large and delicious, albeit a little messy. I also liked that I could get a Caesar salad instead of french fries, and I give credit to all businesses/restaurants that allow customers to mix and match as they please at no extra cost. That is one thing that will bring me back. All in all, was pretty good. Some items are pretty overpriced (like the Chicken Caesar Salad), but others are pretty on point. The food is pretty good for a bar and I am curious how to the atmosphere is in the evenings. There are also A LOT of large Tv's for the sports crowd, which is cool. I'd like to come back.
(4)Thomas L.
Have been here several times and each time I have enjoyed myself. They have TV's all over the place so there are no bad seats in the place for viewing any sporting event. They have drink specials every day if the week along with drink specials for when local teams are playing. Food is also an option from appetizers to main course. This is where it gets iffy for pending on what you get it is either a good deal or can be a little overpriced for a sports bar. Overall they are consistent which is a plus. Restroom is clean and staff is friendly. Parking can be a challenge and will have to park a little bit away pending what is going in and what night of the week. Overall good experience.
(4)Alyssa R.
When I lived in Berkley, this place surprised me by being on my 'regular playlist.' Not for the same reason other people love it- booze, sports and a very decent rooftop outdoor lounge area. Their pizza was just delicious, and I craved it. The crust is crispy and buttery on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The cheese is browned, and there's a bunch of toppings that I like to mix up to hit all the right spots: A little spice (peppers), a little sweet (pineapple) and a bit of meat (pepperoni). See? All food groups, and foodie groups, covered in one dish. It's seriously good. But when you walk in, you think "Sports Bar. Drunk guys." Don't let that dissuade you (for some of you, that might sell you). Between the waffle fries and pizza, this place will fill your next greasy craving.
(3)Donovan B.
Love coming here with the significant other to eat. Sometimes we dont even drink. Their chicken salad with their house bread is amazing. Nachos as well. Never disappointed.
(5)Julian B.
Rating is based on the superb potato skins. Solid place for sports. Join online club for more deals.
(4)Edward L.
Great sports bar. Hi-def tvs located on every imaginable surface in that place. Leads to an easy viewing experience for whatever event you are there for. Friendly (and patient) staff led us to have a great time there. Cold beer and great atmosphere. The only real negative that led to one less star was the wait time for our food to be served. Expect a relatively long wait for food to come out... Other than that, drink up and have a great time.

I can walk to this place, which automatically gives it a good rating. I've only been here once so far, and it was your standard sports bar. Haven't tried any food yet, so I can't speak to the menu at all. I'm looking forward to going back in the summer to go on the roof!
(4)Jason S.
This is the hot spot in Berkley. I am surprised to read people complain about the prices. They seem to be only about 1.00 above most bars. The food is good, but I don't think it is a great burger place. Get one of their specials. They have a lot of options. I love the location and they make good, strong drinks. Awesome rooftop! I do have one bit of criticism. I think the owner, Bob, should be better to his regulars! WE spend a lot of money there and you don't seem to care much. The servers are top notch if you treat them well....I am not sure why there are so many negative comments about the service.
(4)M V.
This is a great place to grab a beer and watch a game. It also has above average food in my opinion. The rooftop deck is also a nice touch. I have had a few things on the menu and all were great. The nachos are huge and really good. I always go with the chicken. It is grilled and has that smokey taste to it that comes through in the nachos. The regular comes on a pizza tray, more than enough for 3 or 4 people to share. They have a great selection of sandwiches as well. Anything with their BBQ sauce on it will be good. Great place overall...
(4)Stacey D.
Tried out 24 Seconds for playoff football, so can't comment on the upstairs patio... but, TONS of TVs, Magic Hat #9 on draft, and I will never complain about a place that offers delicious waffle fries! The waitress was great, but didn't know what team's jersey I was wearing (at a sports bar)... Overall, can't complain, and will absolutely head back in warmer weather!
(4)Christopher M.
Patio is a good place to hangout on a nice evening...great for sports watching too if that is your thing. Food is quite overpriced and is of good quality - but not worth the price. Decent beer selection but I would like to see more Michigan brewers on tap - but their clientele probably likes the macros. Service was good - not real friendly but got the job done.
(2)Jeff P.
Friday night door guy asked to check our ID's but we had to wait for him to finish watching a video on his Ipad. Terrible first impression with such an unprofessional security. The lights were up too bright for a Friday night. The wait staff was unengaging. After standing around for a few minutes looking for a seat and not being helped by any wait staff, we left. Won't be back.
(2)Ron C.
And I am being Generous. We stopped in an NYE. Ordered Burgers & Fries [ The Red Coat Tavern was closed ] The Burger was "DRY" and lacked anything close to flavor The bun exceeed the size of the burger and was also "DRY" the Fries tasted like Gordons Frozen Fries the Bill for 2 burgers & fries and one soup & a Margaritta was $36 Never Again ------------------- 97.1 raves about this place, must be the perks & freebies also noteworthy was I emailed the owner and discussed the 'details' of my visit NO reply/ response
(1)Adam H.
Great sports bar! TV's everywhere, including upstairs on their outdoor patio where they have another bar. Prices are very good and they have game day specials for all the local teams so it's hard to pay full price for anything. I'm not a huge fan of pizza, but I'm the minority on that and I hear it's great. The other menu items are hit and miss. Their grinders are very good as well as their dips.
(4)Tiffany H.
Great spot for Sunday Football, lots of specials, good food.
(4)Lisa S.
Well I love coming to the patio at 24 seconds, although the service can be hit or miss. Last night, the restaurant was reserving tables for a party but there was no one using them for at least 2 hours we were there. One gentleman said we could take their table but they had given their chairs away to other people. So we grabbed a few chairs and the waitress from that section says rudely "you can't take the chairs from the reserved tables", but didn't offer us a seat. I get the feeling that she was hoping that we would leave so she could reserve our table too. Luckily the waitress for our section was much nicer and actually gave her customers folding chairs. The food is okay, I had their veggie burger. I would opt with fries instead of chips, especially their waffle fries. There are specials during Tiger games too.
(3)Troy D.
Go here pretty regular for pizza and wings, and always find whatever food I get to be pretty great. Good place to see a game if the isn't too jammed, but they usually have enough staff on hand when it is to make sure that you still get served at a decent clip. Lots of tvs mounted up high, bar games and darts, and rooftop seating in the summer. I would really recommend the pizza, and to ask what the drink specials are on a given night, as they are pretty much always running something and , otherwise, they are maybe a touch spendy. All in all, a great berkley fixture.
(4)Jennifer B.
24 Seconds is a reasonable sports bar that turns into a regular bar on weekends. Don't go here on a weekend night and expect to be able to hear the game (or even really watch it - it can get really crowded) The food is pretty good, it has some standard bar food, but also some more interesting sandwiches. But once again - it gets crowded on weekend nights, so not a great place for late night eats. They have a really nice rooftop deck with a bar and a couple of TVs. Parking sucks when they are crowded. There is a lot behind the building, but between 24 Seconds and the Berkley Front, it fills up pretty fast; you'll end up parking on the street somewhere. I would go here for: -Watching games on the rooftop deck on a summer afternoon -A bar scene with live bands on the weekend -A burger and beer on the deck with friends on a weekday evening
(4)Donna D.
My fiance and I go here fairly often. I appreciate that on Sundays they tag which games are playing on which TVs so you know right away where your team is playing. I haven't tried the entire menu yet but I've had the nachos, pizza, wings and chili (not all in the same meal!) and they're all really really good. I will actually commit to saying I love their pizza. The veggie burger wasn't bad either (though my fiance wouldn't even try it, not the fault of the bar!) It's become one of our regular hang out spots.
(4)Joel K.
Looked up 24 Seconds on Yelp to go watch a Stanley Cup hockey game while visiting. Lots of TVs. Service was good; our server was not clingy, but was always around when we needed her and very friendly. Food was decent. Beer list was somewhat lengthy. Be careful with the Firehouse Nachos...they sting...twice.
(4)Justin S.
Good for a game , but may not get your team on the tv if the Detroit teams are playing that night. Service is hit or miss.
(3)D C.
We were killing time before a nearby event. It was a game day & they had a party bus, so the place was pretty empty when we got there. We got menus & immediately our server returns to take our orders. I asked for a minute & she came back after 15, 10 after I had laid down my menu. If she'd been busy I wouldn't have minded but she was standing five feet away yakking at the bar. I ordered the mini burgers - she asked me if I wanted fries (they come with chips) & I did. Two others in the party ordered only drinks & the fourth tried to order the chips & salsa at which point the server took him page by page through the menu trying to get him to order something else. He commented in the attempt to up sell & stuck with his original plan. Our food comes out & the burgers are burned & accompanied by chips. The server is gone before I can say a word. She doesn't return until we're finished & only to drop off our bill. Maybe my expectations are too high, but I expect decent service if you're not busy & for my order to be right. 24 failed on both counts.
(2)Matthew D.
It's funny how everything can change in an instant. I used to consider this the creme de la creme of sports bars in the area but last night, my opinion change quite heavily... I should have seen the writing on the wall when I walked in and spotted a man in head to toe Pittsburgh Steeler gear as soon as we walked in. Pittsburgh Steeler coat: check Pittsburgh Steeler hat: check Pittsburgh Steeler sweatshirt: check Sense of self worth tied directly into the performance of a professional football team: check We sat down and were gearing up for our particular college basketball game and some wings and beer. Low and behold, there's music playing over the radio and we came here to watch the game, homey! We asked if they would turn the sound on the game (a problem no REAL sports bar would ever have) and they told us no. No, the SPORTS bar is not going to turn on the sound to the SPORTING event. Wait... what? So, we left at halftime and went to another bar where they were more than happy to accomodate our fandom and accept our moola.
(2)Tom S.
Eh. I keep going here because it's close and decidedly un-repulsive, but that doesn't mean I like it. The rooftop is fun in the summer, open space, enough tables and TVs. The food is standard bar fare and nothing to get excited about. Go to Berkley High School? You might feel like it after a Saturday night here...
(3)Kathryn L.
Really liked this bar!! Indoor seating is available, but the open air rooftop is the place to be! Drinks here are good and affordably priced. Service was good as well. I did not eat here, but others in my party did and raved about it.
(5)Jason A.
Great place to hang out. In the summer the patio on the roof is a perfect place to hang out with friends and enjoy the summer air. Food is always good although service is really hit or miss. The introduction of the 24 Seconds party bus is amazing. For $10 a person you can ride the bar's party bus down to a Tigers game, or wherever your group of friends wants to go. Took the bus with about 10 friends to a Tigers game, got to drink on the way down on the bus, and was shuttled back to the bar after the game. Big WIN for this place! Another great reason that I love living in Berkley.
(4)kelly w.
After being completely pummeled in my softball game on Monday (uh.. 17-1!) some teammates and I definitely needed a drink. Dan suggested 24 seconds in which I replied that I had never been, but was completely willing to check it out. We went up to the roof top-- apparently other ball players had this same idea because there were other peeps in uniforms. I was pretty impressed with the patio. Nice big open space. Quick service. Cheap beers. There were some larger tables that cater to larger parties--maybe if we win our game next week the whole team could come out and celebrate!
(3)Toby J.
I just wanted to update my review after reading a bunch of negative, whiny reviews about this place. I don't know what the problem is. People must expect five star quality for McDonald's dollar menu prices. Whatever. All people ever do is bitch and complain. It's pathetic. Here's the bottom line: the place isn't perfect. No place is. But it's GOOD. The food is good. The beer selection is good. I've had nothing but positive experiences with the staff. The rooftop is awesome in the summer. The inside gets a little loud at times, but so what. It's crowded on the weekend because most people like it. I had to write something because the negative reviews are annoying. I understand that not everyone will like it, but calm down. Pouty crybabies should stay home and cook their own dinner. Sheesh.
(4)Jeff H.
My wife and I went here last night for dinner and drinks and we were impressed. We each ordered a cranberry vodka and they were great, not too strong but strong enough that you could taste the alcohol and for $3.25 each, they were a fair price. We also got a small order of chips and con queso which was delicious and plenty big for 2 people. For dinner, I got the smokehouse burger with onion rings and she got the 24 melt with waffle fries. We both thought our choices were delicious, they were cooked perfectly, full of flavor, good portion size, and presented nicely. Definitely will be returning here.
(5)Ashley H.
My favorite thing about 24 Seconds is their rooftop. There are lots of tables and TVs up there to catch the game while enjoying a beautiful day/night and cold beer. I usually just have drinks here and like that they've added many more Michigan beers over time. I do like their Guiness chili and chicken tenders. It's fun to come here any time of year. The inside has plenty of TVs and big screens. Just make sure to stop over this summer.
(4)Michelle T.
Look, I will be blunt, good drink, good food, but the service sucks! 5 out of the 6 times I have been there! I just called to ask a question and they just hung up on me after giving me the answer, no thanks for calling, have a nice day, your welcome. Give me something except a dial tone. I don't get it and I am hoping the owner sees this because other Berkley patrons feel the same way! You could be 5 star!
(3)Tony S.
Rooftop is nice, but beer is served I warm glasses. Food is inedible - seriously. $10 hamburger that is so dry you can't eat it. Pizza #3 was semi edible so we went with that. No care from the wait staff, but the TVs were great.
(2)Ellen K.
I've ended up at 24 Seconds a few times now, and it's always a good experience. At first glance, it's just a sports bar. The thing is, everything I've ever ordered there has been better than expected. Good burgers, good appetizers, good sandwiches. Boyfriend and I had lunch on the rooftop patio this past weekend, and it was really nice. Prices are good. Service is always great, even when they're packed. Although 24 Seconds does get crazy when Big Games are on, I've always ended up finding a table, even for a group. I recommend it next time you want to watch a game or just have a nice meal outside.
(4)Neil Y.
I came here to watch the Belmont Stakes and try the nachos as several people had told me this was the place. Well, it's just a place. It's a sports bar, I'll give it that. The usual swagger of big screen tvs and different sports from the Tigers game, golf, World Cup promos and of course the Belmont Stakes. The menu seemed pretty standard with no real stand out items. Not a deal breaker by any means. The waiter touted the nachos and at $11 for a large nacho, I have high expectations. We added chicken for a $3 up-charge as well as a tiny serving of sour cream for $0.25 more. So we're at the $15 mark for nachos. They come to the table and yes, the portion is enormous--I mean the portion of tortilla chips that is. It's a big pile of chips on a pizza plate with a scant amount of toppings. It had cheese (shredded and melted) with only trace amounts of black olives and diced tomatoes. Waldo would have been easier to find then the chicken. Ridiculous! It did come with a cup of homemade salsa which was decent but in reality you would have needed another full serving of it to finish the chips because once the first few bites were taken, we were left with just chips. No layering at all. Poor form. Lesson learned. We also ordered the mac and cheese. This was mostacolli Alfredo and not at all close to mac and cheese. Lesson number two learned. We ran into a couple of other hitches: No brewed ice tea. It's 2014 people, hot water, tea bags add ice when finished. Also, our serve thought they fry in peanut oil. BTW-They fry in canola oil. This is a big deal when you have peanut allergies. Lesson three learned. Tall boy Labbatt drafts were only $2.50 and probably the highlight of the meal. My 4 year old also won us $72 in Keno from here number picks so I call the visit a draw. One last thing, when the Belmont Stakes race came on, the played it over the bar sound system which is absolutely dreadful. This place just had speakers installed with little thought to acoustics. Sound bounces everywhere in its wide open space and you just can't understand anything the announcers were saying. I'll try another place for future purposes.
(2)Derek F.
Decent sports bar, all the usual beer on tap, lots of tv's plenty of room around the bar, drink prices aren't bad. The upstairs patio is nice, a welcome addition next to Berkley front.
(4)Jeremy R.
The food and service here were great. My wife and I tried the cheese soup - it didn't mention there were onions in it though, and my wide doesn't like onions - so I got to enjoy two cups of soup... I tried the turkey ruben and my wife tried the firehouse panini. Both had a lot of flavor! We had a great experience here and hope to check it out in the summer when we can sit up on the roof.
(4)Samantha L.
This is a regular spot for my co workers and boss. It's a clean bar that has awesome rooftop patio. I enjoy sitting up here and sun bathing while getting a view of the streets of Berkley. The menu is pretty lengthy, with lots to choose from. I have enjoyed the black bean burger, Mac & cheese, Nachos, and even appetizers. All the food is hot and actually pretty tasty. Usually I turn my nose to bar food...but,not here!! The waitresses are friendly and prompt and don't seem to mind how long you stay if you have a large group. I'll be back here soon I am sure.
(4)Robert W.
Great sports bar. Great service. Great beer and booze selection. So why 3-stars? The burger. Probably one of the worst burgers I've ever eaten. I've made frozen GFS patties on charcoal grills better than this thing. And to think you take the time to "brand" the top bun with your logo, but give me a hockey puck sh#t burger is beyond me. I'd go back for a game and a beer, but yea, stopping at Wendy's first.
(3)Jennifer P.
We went to this establishment to watch the recent Mayweather fight and they were charging $30.00 pet person but have you $30.00 in food and drink vouchers. Amazing deal, we thought! We got there about 5:30 as we anticipated the bar would be packed. Our waiter was amazing, he kept or drinks filled the entire time and was very professional, all while running around like mad man. As for food, we had amazing pizza, the crust was devine! Not to thick, not too thin. The guacamole was spicy which I found really off. The chicken tenders are NOT hand battered, it's freezer to fryer and they tasted old. :( I did look around and see delicious looking burgers and grilled tortilla wraps I wish we would've split in lieu of the old freezer burnt tenders. Bummer! Their ranch is like water, work in that please 24 seconds! I didn't like that they completely sardined the place, seriously, you couldn't even move around to get to the bathroom! We had an end table and I felt completely beat up by the end of the night from all the bumping into my arms/shoulders and stepping all over my feet. Also, if you go for an event (UFC, fight, etc...) don't expect to hear anything whatsoever, it's beyond extremely loud and the sound quality is beyond poor. 2 stars for the pizza and service.

Everything in my previous review is still 100% true. The biggest change has been that their bi-weekly specials have gotten even better.

Great veggie burger! Not gonna lie, probably the best veggie burger I've had in Michigan! Sat at the bar, was greeted and served quickly, even asked about lime in my Corona! Food came out pretty auick, overall solid spot for a burger and beer. Pretty overpriced, but it's downtown so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Very loud, I know it's a sports bar, but it wasn't even the TV it was the music! Hard to even have a conversation... Summary: check it out if you just got paid, should be a good time

This is a good, solid, sports bar in downtown Berkley. The main bar area is nice, but nothing special. Where it really starts to shine is on the large rooftop deck that's open during the warmer seasons. It does get very crowded. They have lots of choices of beer. Haven't had the food yet... but the drinks and atmosphere is good!
