“ Classic neighborhood Irish bar with fantastic food, service, drinks and local music! Always a fun time you're not a true Detroiter if you haven't partied here! ”
“ If you love authentic neighborhood bars with interesting history, you will love this place. I was lucky enough to meet the current owner. He told me that the floors and bar are original. The original building was a general store and became a bar in the early 1900's. The corner where the stage is now was once a barber shop. The wall was knocked out and men could get a cut, shave and a drink. Genius! We got some chicken strips, mini tacos, and shrimp. The food was really great. The drinks are strong. I wish I lived closer. You'll love it! ”

“ Great neighborhood bar. Staff is great very fun & friendly! ”
“ They always say that this is Detroit's oldest bar. Not sure if that's true, but it's really old and cool. Kind of an old house or something. Good sound system for live music. Seems small, but they have a big outdoor space, with fire pit. Drinks have a strong pour. Highly recommend. ”
“ The greatest neighborhood bar in Detroit, or anywhere else I've been. Great atmosphere, people, and drinks! ”
“ I can not rate the service or food...only because it was so crowded after the St patricks day parade, there was no room inside or outside. We went there to eat, but our large group of 12 and the wall to wall of peeps just wouldn't allow. However, I've been coming to the Nancy Whiskey for over 20 years. Love this bar, drinks are top notch, and the service is fantastic normally. It was just way over capacity this last visit. Will return. ”
“ Historic (1902) Corktown Irish Pub w/ antique revolvers & Firefighter memorabilia. Smallish place that gets packed when busy & definitely a proper neighborhood/dive vibe. Nothing fancy but a well stocked bar n pretty fair prices! I didn't even know they served food but i always come at weird times/days. i like stopping in on slow days! N open on mondays! It's definitely worth checking out! ”
