Stopped here during a bar crawl in Detroit for some beer and some food. There service was FAST which was a plus especially with how large of a group we had. Their fries were amazing. My boyfriend got the double bacon cheeseburger and I got the checker burger. The burgers themselves were relatively small but tasted delicious. Sides come with chips so you have to ask for fries.

Checker bar is super cool. At some point over the last few years, it went through some renovations and the front entrance and upstairs has changed to have large doors/windows that allow it to be open air in the summer. Upstairs is an absolutely awesome arcade bar with all of the pinball and video arcade classics...

Fun dive bar with surprisingly good food! I got the burger and cheese sticks, but the pizza looked incredible (as the waitress kept serving them to other patrons). At night, the upstairs appears to be for a younger crowd and louder and the downstairs was more for a family crowd.

Cool little dive bar with an arcade attached! The Checker Bar is known for it's tasty burgers! It's super close to all the sports and downtown happenings. Very close to Greektown, Campus Martius, Ford Field, Comerica. Parents bring their kids here. There is an outside patio. Vintage games upstairs. Great date night or family outing.
