Duggan’s Irish Pub

Talk about a shit-​show! We came with a group, they seated us at the reserved table. Then the manager comes to our group and calls out, «Who called for the reservation? Because we have another group here who claims that this is for them!»
Try asking someone at the table privately instead of yelling loud for the whole restaurant to hear. And don’t blame your customers for your employees’ mistakes.
Then he says that we’re going to have to move to another table. Then he says that the other group will sit at the other table. All of this is loud and very uncomfortable. Fine dining experience, indeed!
When the food came, one of the meals was missing. Took a while, no apologies, and not even an offer for the meal on the house.
Charged for extra drink, couldn’t get the billing right (even though half of us paid with cash), and it took so long to get the cards back that we didn’t even argue the screw-​ups. We couldn’t get out of there fast enough. With or without the the show that we were already late for.

My family and I came here on a Saturday in winter around lunch time expecting to be busy. Although it was we still got sat right away in a nice window seat. The ambiance of this place is amazing. A lot of amazing history with cars and cool pictures on the wall. Food was good. Nothing special but good. Service was nice. But I was told that this place has a great view to watch amazing cars go by and listen to their engines roar. And as I mentioned earlier we sat next to a window. And to my disappointment all we saw were a bunch of Toyota Camrys with a couple Hondas and Kia’s sprinkled in. I mean, what the fudge? Where is the dodges I’ve been hearing about. Where’s the Mustangs. And I can promise you opening the windows didn’t let in the engine noises it just made us colder :/​. Great place anyway!

Fun place, love the fries. I had the skins and wings, they were good. Also lots of popcorn. Great place to meet up with friends

Big Chief sauce wasn’t for me, but the burger itself is fine. Some good jalapeño poppers too. Very cool way to see Woodward, would be a great place to revisit in the summer time.

They have good priced pitchers but it’s a super weird feel inside. It has a weird ambiance and isn’t really walking distance to other bars. The food is decent but, nothing spectacular. Quite quiet so it’s good for groups and they have arcade things and a decent bar feel.

Has free popcorn. Popcorn makes me thirsty. Thirst quenched by delicious beer provided by attentive bartender. Beer lowers blood sugar. Makes me hungry. Cuban sandwich satisfies hunger. Hunger makes me sleepy. Entertaining college football game on big screen energizes me for the night. Circle of life of a bargoer.

Nice lil neighborhood joint I just discovered is within walking distance of me. Unfortunately I only had drinks so I can’t comment on the food.
It was surprisingly empty on a Saturday night but I guess that’s just because it’s not really by any other points of interest– I’m betting it’s more of a post-​work-​meet-​up-​for-​drinks kinda place than a «hey let’s meet up here for drinks, gang» sorta joint
In any case, I’ll likely be back just based on proximity!

Always my favorite place to get a burger, The Big Chief, frys and a pitcher if beer, atmosphere is awesome, you get to watch Woodward Ave. and enjoy a car themed bar restaurant, if your a car person there is no better place to sit and watch Woodward cruisers

Treated my mom and I so good! Loved the food! Will be back

We went there for my family reunion, great atmosphere and great staff, but I went there to drink beer more than eat and there selections were ok, it was the amount of beer they gave u that was bad, it was like a small 12oz in a small mug and I asked for there biggest Sam Adams Beer and that’s what I got for 5.25, what a rip off. There Miller lite same size was 2.25 not to bad, so ask for there specials first.
I ordered the corned beef rueben which was pretty good but not filling, there are some places that given a huge rueben for the same price, 8.50. Only reason I would go back was for the atmosphere and highly friendly staff.

I live super close to here but never bothered to stop. Yesterday after visiting the Royal oak art fair my friend and I decided to stop and sit upstairs. The first thing that threw me off was how out dated this place is. It looks like they haven’t done any updating in 30 years. The menu is rather bland, nothing exciting just your basic fried bar food. We shared the fried zucchini sticks and boneless wings. Both were just «ok» not terrible, not impressive either. It took awhile for our server to come over to U.S. Initially but once she did she was attentive so positive there. Beer selection is decent but kinda pricey for the plastic cup it’s served in. All in all I wasn’t impressed. Probably won’t make it a point to come back.

Not bad. Love the Americana décor and open windows upstairs the food was cooked properly and taste good so did the drinks. Woulda rated higher but the bartender was in a foul mood and most certainly didn’t make me feel welcome. I don’t think she smiled once. But doesn’t matter we were there for food and drinks and for that we couldn’t complain.

Always a solid option to stop in at on a nice day. We sat upstairs and watched the cars cruise as we enjoyed our big chief burgers. (So much better than that dirty redcoat place across the street).
Service is consistently good. Waitress was on the ball keeping our drinks topped off. Definitely stop in when in the area

Excellent t fish and chips and a huge portion. It’s a little expensive but the portion makes up for it. Their burgers are good and potato skins looked yummy.
The upstairs is cool I the summer when they have the windows open. If you are into the Woodward dream cruise, it’s a great place to watch the cars… come early!

F@@@ing Digusting — Sorry to curse
I was so excited to take my girlfriend here tonight because it’s been a while and they have a decent beer selection and usually pretty good food.
We went to the lower section to eat at the bar. There were not many people inside but most seemed hammered, at least at the bar. It was a good 10 minutes before a simple «Hello» but no worries. We waited finally got a drink and she ordered the Perch dinner and I got the Little Chief with onion rings. We shared a Jeff’s bread to start.
The bread was microwaved but because we ate it fast we avoided it being rock hard. It was just o.k.
A bit later our meal was dropped off — This was the last we would see our bartender until the end of the meal. She was busy betting drinks or something with the drunk regulars
I take a bite of an onion ring that is very very pale in color — and I get a nice bite of an uncooked onion and a mouthful of grease. Starting to get irritated, but since her food seems O.K. I’ll let it go.
I take a bite of my burger and it may be one of the most awful things I’ve ever eaten. I didn’t say anything and when my girlfriend asked how it was and she pulled a little piece of the meat off and tasted it and said «I don’t taste anything but burnt».
The bartender finally came over and asked how everything was and I politely said this is one of the F@@@ing worst meals I’ve ever had. I’m not sure she cared a great deal but well after the fact asked if the fish was good. My meal was taken off the bill but I am so embarrassed that I thought enough of this place to take someone to eat here and that this place has evolved to this level — NEVER AGAIN!

What a great place– their Chief sauce is off the chain!
Been going here since early 2000s and I still love this place.
It used to be a bit of a dump but I think they have gotten a deep clean to the place recently and it shows.
Rum runners and the key lime colada are worth trying if you like sweet drinks. They have lotto and full menus for food and beverage.
I will update my review at a later time.

REALLYYY awkward place to meet up with people… you end up having to wait in the little vestibule area standing in a corner awkwardly if you’re the first one there, or you’ll probably miss the other people because there are so many nooks and crannies in this place, and the upstairs and downstairs don’t really intersect at all.
That being said, get the Jeff’s bread. Holy cow do they know how to make bread here. And it comes with this amazing cheese spread, that actually has shredded cheese in it! The clam chowder was pretty good too– much better than Red Coat’s, actually, so if you’re in the mood for that eat here instead of across the street :)
Parking blows though. I was there at 4 pm and got the LAST spot in their lot, which was weird because there were only like 10 people in the entire place, but then again there are only about 10 spots in the lot anyway.

I love their french onion soup. Duggans also has a great selection of classic Michigan hamburgers from yester-​year

I never ate here, so there’s your disclaimer. I did enjoy some fine alcoholic beverages, though. They have a lot of good beers on tap, including Guinness for the Irish crowd. The place is called an Irish pub, but there’s not much Irish about it besides the color of the building and the green interior. Most Irish bars are not really, um, Irish. Oh well. It’s a cool place to hang out, especially at the bar where there is a square-​like setup of four TVs almost sitting on top of one another. There is billiards, too.

The service was good. I thought our first waitress was a bit more friendly than our second waitress.
We were a large group and several food items were ordered. The patty melt was ok. It was a bit dry and not a lit of favor other than the onions. Those who ordered the smoked turkey sandwich — loved their sandwiches. The hot wings were ok– hot flavor, heavy coating. Nothing special about the fries. The corned beef was lean, flavorful but not loaded with corned beef. The slider platter was good. The potato skins were good.
Huge turn off— beer served in plastic cups… Drop the cold beer to a room temp beer in a nano second :(
I like the upstairs better than the downstairs. They had music playing and there are pool tables upstairs.
