A great dive bar with nice wait staff and freaking awesome food! Urinals for beer taps, multiple TVs playing any number of propaganda. All in all AFB, is just what Detroit needs; good food, kind people, and a welcoming atmosphere! And some of the best fries in the city. Period…

AFB is a bar that’s worth visiting once, but only once. On the plus side, there is their menu and name — both of which have an irreverent sense of humor. However, my delight in those things faded away within a few minutes of my arrival. All that was left from that point forward was their incredibly crappy service. I don’t mind a waitress or bartender asking if I’d like another drink. However, when that happens 3 times in less than 10 minutes(as is the case at AFB) it’s kind of annoying. Being interrupted that frequently makes it more difficult to simply have a conversation with friends. There’s also the fact that my friends and I had our empty glasses cleared away within seconds of finishing the last sip of beer.(I don’t know, I guess 9 p.m. is closing time at AFB.) Oh, and when it’s time to pay and leave, it takes forever to cash out because the staff are busy clearing away every other empty glass and trying to get everyone else to order one more round. I understand that they’re in the business of selling drinks. Every bar around does this. However, AFB was simply too aggressive and obnoxious about it. It got in the way of simply having a couple of drinks with my friends, which is the whole point of going to a bar in the first place. There are much better bars in the area. Much, much better.

We came in search for some food. I had the burger, the bun was soft and the meat tasted fresh, but the vegetables that came on it where lacking. the lettuce was iceberg lettuce and it was starting to wilt and the tomatoes where barely red and flavorless. The slider slid right through. but in the positive, The Mr. Potato balls where decent. the service was good but the music was too loud

True, Another Fucking Bar & Grill is, in some ways, just another bar and grill, but it’s their humor and the fact they don’t take themselves or anything overly seriously that I really love. Sure, the humor is crude, crass, that’s exactly what they’re going for. But the ingredients in most of their food come directly from Eastern Market vendors for the most part — which is a big plus. The fact that the food is served in a dog bowl is amusing, but the food’s still good — they could have slacked and only relied on the gimmick, but they didn’t. A fellow who I believe was the owner was super-friendly to our group on a recent visit, even throwing in a round of free(if bizarre) shots! I also dig the punching bag(I’ve never actually used one of these in a bar ’til the other night) game as well. The style of the big Coleman Young mural is pretty cool — very ‘70s-ish, and I wonder who painted it… It even says«MFIC» on it, which means exactly what you think it means. I’m not in a super hurry to go back, but I dig their irreverence, so I’d happily tag along with friends some other time. It’s really nice to see a new business pop up in this area between the Fox/Tigers central and Midtown, too!

AFB is exactly what it claims to be — Another F-ing Bar. Not in a bad way! As I have rated it, it is A-OK. They have definitely cleaned the place up, and the urinals below the taps aren’t anywhere as near as creepy as I thought they would be. Plenty of TVs, a pool table, various other games — some very cool Detroit photos on the wall. I enjoy the large bar — to me, the more bar stools in a place, the better. The light fixtures kind of scare me — the lights are suspended from wooden boards that have hundreds of large nails drilled through them pointing down at my head. For one paranoid second I prayed that it wouldn’t fall from the ceiling and be the end of me! Decent drink selection, decent prices. Our bartender was very friendly and efficient. I am convinced that half of the people who were hanging out were also working there… we must have had 4 or 5 different people help us and there were only 15 people in the place. Awesome. The free popcorn is fantastic because everyone loves free popcorn. The only food item we tried were the Mr. Potato Balls– and while I loved the name and description, as well as the descriptions of the other food items, I wasn’t overly impressed by them. They were super difficult to eat, especially out of a dog bowl. Apparently you are supposed to just stick the whole ball in your mouth. lol Oh geez. While this won’t be on my list of required stop-in’s for an evening downtown, it will certainly be added to the rotation of occasional stop-in’s. Ah– as a side note; when the charge came through on my credit card it was listed as Another Friendly Bar. How disappointing, I wanted my credit card to be far more scandalous. Oh well, Another Friendly Bar is just as fitting. :)

Little Ass Menu. Urinals mix with the bar taps. Dog food bowls as serving dishes. Yeah, AFB is a lot of fun!!! The burger is AWESOME, comes with fries, slaw, and cheese at no extra charge. Only $ 6! The beef and bun are supplied from local Detroit sources and its a heck of a burger. Pool table, plasmas, and a couple other video games. If they add free wi-fi I wouldn’t complain :-) We had a group of 11 or so and the manger George stopped by our table to chat and gave us all free shots. How cool! Plus George is a funny guy. Other free stuff — free popcorn… which just gets you drinking more to beat the salt We will be back here for sure. I can see stopping here before or after a Tiger game. Great place, check it out!

okay so George is great. The inside looks just like the name of the bar… you have to go to see what I mean. All in all very friendly staff and good beer selection. Free popcorn. PS ask George to tell you about the Detroit Revolutions. I think they serve food but have not tried.
