This is *the* place to go for Detroit-style pizza. I recommend the classic Detroiter or the Greek pizza. They also have their own beer (Buddy's Brew!)

Good Italian place with tapas-style dishes. It's small and can get busy, so be prepared for a bit of a wait at night/weekends. They make their own pasta and the pizza is great.

German bar with cheap beer and fun crowd. There's a restaurant with a basic bar, a basement-level bar that's a bit more rowdy, and a Club Above that does live music and comedy.

This is a speakeasy with craft cocktails. It's just an unmarked door next to the Live club, so you'll have to look around a little to find it! They have live music occasionally. Great place to go with a group of friends.
