Marge’s Bar

Amazing food, great daytime bartender, opens at 11am and takes credit and debit cards. Hockey memorabilia everywhere.

Our favorite place south of Cadieux. Great burgers, homemade onion rings, and a neighborhood bar with friendly servers who remember names and make you feel at home.

We have lived in the Park for a long time, but only recently have started frequenting Marge’s. It’s now one of our go-​to spots for an easy, guilty pleasure-​type dinner. Great burgers and sandwiches, salads too. Hey, it’s just darned good bar food. We like going on the early side, when it’s not jammed. The staff is fine, ignore the complainers.

Excellent food! Burgers are great! Middle Eastern is delish, Friday fish is fantastic! Busy place, hockey atmosphere and great people! Great for date night or family dining. It is your friendly neighborhood bar. Check it out, you will not be disappointed.

If I could give this place 0 stars then I would… My husband and I were in the area for a work event and looked up on Unilocal where to eat locally. This place looked good so we decided to give it a try. We walked in and sat ourselves at a bar top that had the Friday fish menu but not the normal menu. We waited about 5 minutes before a man came over and asked– what can I get you guys? we pulled the menu up off our phones and began to order to which he interrupted us and said hold on. He left the table to a larger table to take their order first. Then he returned taking our order, not a drink order. We had to track him down for drinks and then again for straws to which he brought a handful of 8 – 10 of them and dropped them on the table. As for our order– I ordered a sandwich with no tomatoes and onions to which he repeated. When the food arrived (to which he literally threw onto our table) it had everything on it. He never came back to ask if we needed anything. But we did overhear him tell the woman behind us who was waiting for her food that he needed her ketchup/​mustard tray. She said she would need it with her food and he replied with– maybe, you can just ask for it again.
We waited a good 10 min after our food was finished to get our bill. We eventually tracked him down and just handed him our card asking him to ring us up. He took another 5 minutes, while we stood around clearly in a hurry while he ignored us. He never said thank you or anything other than what do you want?
We eat at a lot of restaurants, some good and some bad but this is by far the worst service that we have ever received from any restaurant before. We will not be back and we will make everyone we know aware of how rude the service is here.

First and foremost, Marge’s is a HOCKEY bar. Hockey, hockey, hockey! Puck! Puck! Puck! They must be doing something right … they’ve been open for 49.5 years.
I returned today, to buy a «Marge’s» t-​shirt for my SiL (Marge). There was also that pesky matter of «we make our own corned beef.»
I can report that their corned beef makes a wonderful reuben. The corned beef is very lean and quite tasty. The sauerkraut has good bite/​zip/​tang. The amount of dressing was just right. The bread was nicely grilled. It was not the hot greasy mess that some reubens are.
The onion rings are also terrific: Thick cut onion rings, nicely deep fried … without being the greasy mess that is too typical.
I wish I lived closer to Grosse Pointe Park. Aw’ what the heck, gas was only $ 1.75/g today. I will return. (I forgot to buy a container of soup to-​go)

Great dive bar. Great food, great service. Very reasonable food and drink prices. Awesome fresh fish on Fridays.

Great bar food. Great atmosphere especially during red wings game. Service is always good even when they get busy.

If your a sailor your gonna love this place, they replay GPSC tues night races on tues nights. Great food and reasonably priced drinks. Large crowd atends on tues if your looking to get on a crew this is a place to be!

Perch on Fridays is amazing! Prices are great! Descent beer selection. Definitely will come back! Staff was super nice :-)

Chilled out dive bar atmosphere. Great bartenders. Can get packed during Red Wings games. Cheap food specials on Monday night.

A great atmosphere for hockey fans, but there was only one waiter so service was inadequate. Food was good, but overpriced for what it was.

I love marges!!! Their chicken fingers are to die for. I eat here with my boyfriend once or even twice a week. Always friendly staff, and great service. Chicken ceaser salad is made on Fridays and it is delicious. My boyfriend always orders a burger & fries. They don’t have a huge selection of beer or liquor, that’s the ONLY downfall. Other than that, fantastic.

Hands down the best bar food on the East side. Great burgers and sides –onion rings are like giant donuts– while their wings are huge and made simple.
Draft beer is served in perhaps the «iciest» mug to be found.
Good spot for watching sports … especially hockey. Not just Wings, though, any hockey.
Very friendly staff and generally a welcoming local crowd.

I have recently begun eating meat again after a two year stint as a vegetarian, and the burger here was everything I wanted it to be! It was done perfectly and the fries were delicious. Nothing beats a cold beer, a burger and fries!

Great perch sandwich and salad on the patio. Excellent service. A nice addition to Kercheval in the Park.

Marge’s is located a few blocks from my home, so I ducked in their after a weekend getaway to watch the 2^nd period of the Wings/​Blackhawks playoffs, as this is supposedly the hockey bar! No understatement as the moderate sized Monday night crowd were all glued to the TVs.
I may have been the only person to notice the place has probably not been remodeled since they opened some 40 years ago. Nor have the smoke stained ceiling tiles been replaced, even though Michigan banned public smoking 3 years ago.
Marges is the perfect place to grab a beer and enjoy typical bar food. Nothing more and nothing less. I wouldn’t hestitate to return there with my sports loving friends, but would never bring a date there (I have yet to date a Red Wings fan!).
The patty melt was fine, although the cook could use a beefier style of rye bread and the onion rings were tasty, batter dipped, not breadcrumbs, and home style I believe, not frozen.

Stopped by here after work with my sister for a burger and beer. It did not disappoint! The bartender/​server was very friendly and prompt. The burgers and fries were typical bar food, aka tasty. However my one gripe is that the fries were not salted. I get that some people don’t do salt but it’s like once the plate hits the table any salt you attempt to apply just bounces off.
oh ps. the atmosphere is dive bar with an owner that loves hockey. It’s interesting.

LOVE MARGE’S!
This was an awesome discovery a few years ago when I was in GP looking for a place to watch the Wings. Not knowing anything about the place my cousin and I walked in right as a goal was scored and an air horn and goal light started flashing throughout the place… it was quite a surprise but really fun.
Overall…the food and the atmosphere have kept me driving across town to come here. Their Hat-​Trick burger is GINORMOUS but super delish. The onion rings, as previously mentioned, are also out of this world… they kind of taste like donuts (which sounds weird… but they have that battered texture).
I’m sure hoping the NHL gets this lock-​out worked out so I can have an excuse to frequent Marge’s more often.
PS — great story… two years ago when the Wings were close to an elimination in the playoffs someone (owner/​manager) brought out a huge basket of foil wrapped hot dogs and started tossing them to customers (and it was packed to the gills) shouting RALLY-​DOGS!!! It was such a unique thing and really got the crowd excited. While it didn’t help the Wings win… it made me love Marge’s even more, if that is possible.

Marge’s is a greasy dose of genuine blue collar atmosphere, served up in the sickly white corridors of Grosse Pointe. It won’t win an awards for gourmet cooking or classy clientele, but then again, I wouldn’t go if it did.
The food beats expectations: try the beer-​battered onion rings, Fish Fridays, or the burgers. The owners are super-​friendly, the beers are cold, and the jukebox plays bluegrass. What else do you want?
